    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
  8. Leon82
    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

    Set the sfm and chipload per the endmill manufacturer. Mastercam will calculate the chip thinning load based on the cut parameters. Or, give the tool rep all the specs of your setup and they should have a proven start point for you.

    Since your going to be front and center they will look good. If you were off to the side I would say skip them
  11. Leon82
    I believe they have a linear motor model, but won't help on price. Kitagawa? We had a coupe of their indexers at my old shop. They worked ok
  12. Leon82
    Analyse dynamic? See if the angle is the same. Create curves and analyze the endpoints
  13. Leon82
    Make sure the screw reached the bottom of the thick part of the nut. Trim it if needed We have a gorilla grip guy in our shop too. Some of the Kurt hard jaw plates have a wave to them. Lol, where are they going to move to. Or switch to 7/16

    I use the classic black with green entities.
  15. Leon82
    I always use entity, but if the arc was drawn using a rotate/copy the start point rotates along with the entity. This was true with curves generated on a customer model too You can draw arcs on a different level (not rotating them) and they will all have the same start point
  16. Leon82
    Try the wcs by geomety using the two lines You can rotate the part, in the angle field right click and pick angle, line and pick the edge of the part. I usually have to switch the angle to negative, but it lines these parts imported on an angle pretty good
  17. Leon82
    Maybe, but I am an internet troll expert and his post could be considered near the line of trolling.
  18. Leon82
    Yea, its only going to be for the super expensive stuff for now. Pratt is working with it from what I heard
  19. Leon82
    Break up the spline and use simplify to convert to arcs. Or there is a filter DLL you can run
  20. Leon82
    We had our first print with specs if the part were made with an additive process
  21. Leon82
    I read an article a while back where mastercam was working with a manufacturer to do this with a radiation filter for cancer treatment. Every filter was patient specific, and always different. It was planned to be automatic from and emailed file. I don't know if it worked out
  22. Leon82
    Use a pocket cycle to the depth of the first boss. Then another for the next set. Use your top of stock as the depth of the previous pocket. It won't cut air, but if the depths are close you will get pockets that don't cut much. Pick your multi pass settings and save them, they will remain there while you program
  23. Leon82
    That's how we do it. I have several parts with origins on the top and bottom. It makes it easy to adjust when you use a different riser or fixture

    When you're drilling an .008 hole 20k is a turtle

    Our 20000 RPM mx520 have the grease spindle the manual says you don't have to warm it up in the morning. We still do. We also have a V plus 1000 with a 20000 RPM oil spindle the factory warm up program takes 45 minutes
