Do you have the cutters to machine those radii in a single pass? If not you'll need to surface them

Maybe you only have a few features for the auto cursor active. I'm not sure on the new version but can you right click and pick the auto cursor settings to see what's active

There are several The next few seem like 3+2 and the last could be a swarf or 5axis curve

It looks like a 2d high speed or a surface high speed rough. They have it set to retract at about an inch or two gap it seems

From the picture it looks like the face is about 3 inches below the rotation point. I'm not sure if you said what the actual problem was. Is the position in y axis off? You can either find and program from the center of rotation or I believe there is a spot in the post to set the offset for the center of rotation shift

I had a pocket where I changed a step over and it cut thru a center boss. Lowering the step overback to the original fixed it.

I didn't look at the file but adding sync lines has smoothed some out for me

This is good to know, I just opened a repeat job in x9 that was from x. What will be the cut off for 2018?

What's your tolerance set to? I set mine to 5000 maximum arc, and .00w with the slider in the middle between cut and arc tolerance. Sometimes I go more but you must leave extra material because it will violate the stock to leave and boundary with a large tolerance on occasion For the entry try and remove the vertical arc from the linking parameters page

My old bossed pappy made one from a plastic bin and clamped it on the shaft of the tailstock. Then he would advance it during cutoff.

You can definitely add it, sometimes they are simply added that the sellers Warehouse

I suppose. Its the way I was shown. I couldn't handle the warning if you would like to post all tool paths every time though. Lol

On your other point I agree with millman about not altering the g49. It seems like you want the machine to read out the absolute height offset position so you can look at it up close. I have done this by single blocking and then feed hold and open door request. Then I can move it while he height offset is still active. From there you can either reset and start over or close the door and start the spindle and resume the program. Is this what you want to accomplish? You can also go to relative position screen and if your offset is 10" put z-10. Preset. That value will persist unless you have the machine set to overwrite with manual zero return. ETA ,it seems you have a different issue , it may be in the book where the other peramater groups are

We use a new machine group for each op. Then you can save an stl or make a solid if you wish. I have even verified without being in the active group when needed

I found this with a google search. Other forums have programming manuals but you need to sign up before download ing. , I've just started setting up jobs and coding on a 95 Bridgeport Torq Cut 22 after 12+ years running pretty typical mills with typical controls. After pulling my hair out learning all the little quirks and rules I must follow on the DX-32 I've pretty much got the hang of this thing, I have a couple of questions, though. 1st of all how the heck do I delete a program off of the hard drive. It looks to have many hundred programs on if from the previous owner and it still says it has 509,000,000 bytes of remaining space left, can this be? How many meg does that equate to? I thought these machines only had 256 KB of space? 2nd question refers to actual programming. I was making some soft jaws and wanted to drop inside a drilled hole with an end mill and interpolate some counterbores and no matter how many J's I added to the G3 interpolation it would only go around 2 times, what's up with this and how do I make it go around more than twice. I'm sure it's just some little rule I'm not following but I can't seem to figure it out. Here's an example of the code I wrote, and as you can see the endmill should go around the inside of the hole 3 times: T1M6 G0G17G40G80G90G54 X0Y0Z7.H1S5000M3 Z1.M8 G1G41X0Y0Z-.5F20.0 G1Y.375 G3I0J0 J0 J0 G1G40X0Y0 G0Z7.0M9 M2 So it appears to be the same as a fanuc. Although I don't see a g43 there

Nice.

Mine posts a lead and lead off with each multipass even if it's set at 0 step over. But I'm stuck in the stone age's on x 9 so maybe 2017 will post that way

If you don't mind doing it by hand you can simply put c and y values in the drill cycle. You can manual entry an entire program file (your rotary drill program) so it will post somewhat clean. I have gotten mine do drill with x and c with 3 axis toolpath in rotary tabs, rotation about z. I was playing with the machine def at the time so I have it as a 4 axis not using A on the trunion. This was for one off stuff, we use camplete for everything. I had the same issue but want to post x negative.

Cool,I'll have to try that

I use pocket to finish holes sometimes after circle mill when I want it really close Turnoff roughing and set spring passes to 10 or so. It will circle round and round without leading off for the duration of the spring passes

I used helix bore to bore some holes that we did not have a head for. It takes a long time, but it came out round within. 0001 from top to bottom.

Check 3407 and 3406. My tips sheet says 3407#6 (c14)for work offset reset 0 means revert to g54 on reset These have characters c08 c07 ect. These are the groups. If yours is similar the parameter manual will have the explanations for what is what before you change anything

Many ways to skin the cat, I've also been in a hurry and pick the edge of the hole instead of the center using points

G54 revert is controlled by a group parameter. Just like absolute or incremental and g1 g0 When you change this parameter all in the group are affected. I have it handy for our model 30b5 miller at work, I'll post it Monday if no one has found it In the system the parameters should look lime a grid and have labels for group 01,02 ect if I recall
