  1. I worked with a guy who programmed all his endmills .499 ect. He used computer all the time. He also had a part with two separate programs with the same setup. 3 tools each. The part had a boss that was roughed and a hole was spotted then removed to run the other pieces. Then the second program would drill and tap the hole and finish the boss. I think he didn't want to touch off more than 3 tools
  2. Wear. I use off once and a while too for roughing a notch or as a facing cut
  3. Must have been a flight safety part. Once the process is approved your stuck with it unless you get it re certified
  4. I think I will try this with my rwp fixture assemblies. I accidentally saved my whole program into one
  5. We used to have a few older programs with a combination of control and wear. I never ran them but there were a few times the value wasn't imput and parts were scrapped.
  6. Internal threads only the minor is a little bigger. The tap is the same
  7. If your using a 213 drill its probably too tight. Buy a 5.5 mm drill.
  8. What was the minor diameter of the holes after they were tapped. If its small use a bigger drill. .0005 will make a difference in the formed minor
  9. You can pick a file to punch out through the manual entry
  10. You have a lot less tolerance with a form tap on the hole diameter. you should not be hand tapping with a form tap either ,it is going to be very hard you can peck tap if you want what kind of material
  11. Can The Tool Room manager really tell you to do that or is he just giving you his opinion?
  12. You can also set it in the control definition to add zero to tool offsets. If you have an older machine that doesn't differentiate from an h or d the post option will override t1 h1 d31 for example
  13. I believe you can get to it with the exclamation point in the files setting tab. Someone may have unchecked it then hit the save button to save it to defaults
  14. Check it in the defaults settings so it will be pre checked on new files or paths
  15. We have x9 so I don't know if my experience will be he same for you I tried 3 at once and they all loaded, but it seemed a little longer than starting only one. I did 4 as fast as I could individually and they worked fine. Our computers all use the same username.
  16. We have 5 stations with a net hasp and haven't noticed this. I can try tomorrow to launch a few at once. But 25 license checks at once may clog it up I suppose. Not sure what actually happens during this. Could be encryption or other fancy IT lingo
  17. Is there a scale factor hidden in a dialog box somewhere?
  18. Which cd.? We use complete but I wouldn't mind messing around with it in mastercam
  19. It has never broken. I think I changed it once over the entire time we have been using it only because the piece of material is $1000+. I go at least 4 mm deep but probably more at 500 rpm. I can give the exact number when I'm at work tomorrow.
  20. I would try to find a form tap. We are tapping a m1 thread in fee machining invar which machines similar to stainless. It is an emuge form tap and was 70 bucks each but its worth it. I peck tap at 2mm peck I believe. I can get the EDP number tomorrow if you wish. They should have an inch selection.
  21. Whatever you don't want to cut make it the same chain as the machining zone.
  22. I make my machining zone the part rectangle. Then would add 2 lines in your removal area and chain them as avoidance with the remaining outside of the part and use dynamic high speed. May have to break the outside profile so you can make a full chain This has worked good for me and having parts of the same chain in machining/avoidance doesn't seem to make an error. Hopefully I explained correctly
