  1. We get this stuff from our coolant distributor that is supposedly 1500 a gallon and you only put about 1ml in the tank at a time.
  2. In cimco settings there is a box to put other extension s. Mpf for example is our Siemens matsuura extension.
  3. We have a bunch of those books near our Moore's. Its crazy how they could do that precise manually
  4. We have 4 and just got a 330 too. I ran a part which was 2 pieces. Each was done in a separate 520 and when we bolted them up the true position of the top bore on the top piece, on an 11 degree angle was under .001 and the profile of the cbore face was .0008 on the worst one. We were worried we would need to cut it assembled. The g43 clearance would have been a half inch. But it came right in cutting each part individually
  5. In the settings, configuration I think you can pick your defaults file there where you set the paths for all the MC files. Or it can be done in the control definition. I haven't done it in a while
  6. Are you using a chuck or collet or can you shift the part on the fixture so the hole is more centered?
  7. Is this a Siemens control? We have some matsuura mills with a Siemens and when it boots up it shows that name in the bootloader as the operating system. We use the same post as the yasnak control. These controls have an option to select yasnak mode or fanuc mode too
  8. I take it you've tried a shrink holder for finish testing?
  9. Our yasda has a big dashawa camera system for tool length measurement. It has been very consistent. It is usually within 50 millionths or less. Probably takes a little longer than a laser to measure tool though It also has a flat checker option where it will run the spindle and check the length before machining.
  10. We have 3 520s and just bought another along with a 330. So I'm guessing the boss likes them They come with camplete, so programming them is pretty easy. They will drift from thermal expansion, but I'm sure most machines do. But I am able to hold .02mm true position on a part where datum a b c are machined at a0c0 and the holes machined at a-90 c225. But I have to indicate each part at an m00 and I shift it using the g54.4 active work piece function.
  11. There's a company near me who makes and machines their own green carbide mix. They use diamond tools. As in a shaft coated in diamond. We grind carbide and carbide coating with a diamond wheel on the grinder They also change ball screws often
  12. OK, I'll have to let the bossman know. Thanks And sorry for that grammatical train wreck. I thought i proof read it
  13. That's a weird one in your video After you pick the other wcs do you go to the top view to "set" it.
  14. In the plane manager, what are the top 2 check boxes set as? I think its one of them you need to uncheck
  15. We have 2 nc format s. The old one that came with camplete works fine The new we got from the matsuura guy stops using the clearance height after the first hole. The g43 line goes right to the retract value set in the drill parameters. Each rotary move is posted as a 3+2 with the Twp. The setting is not checked in mastercam to use only at start and end. After looking thru the nc formats nothing is poping out at what's wrong. Any ideas what to look at? Thanks
  16. I usually set my feed in the tool screen. Then if I want to change it I simply edit the tool and they all update
  17. Perameter19700 has the rotary position in the 31i And the next one has the z value
  18. From what I have seen you Mount a tooling ball on the outer most edge of the rotary head and indicate in varius positions, I've never done it though.
  19. I had one 25 meg. Never loaded the whole thing though. We only use n numbers on the tool change line
  20. You may want to try a stub flute long reach endmill. Harvey has a wide selection
  21. Small spot first or spot > than the drill angle. Then drill and come back to chamfer
  22. I used this thread to set one of mine up for simple probing
  23. I program from the minor dia because i use entity and the threads are modeled as the minor. I use the over cut with the tap pitch as a value. I usually back it off .003 and tune it with cutter comp. A couple of my coworkers use point so they put the major dia in. But then they ask me the major of some still thread and I have no idea so they have to go looking for that info.
