Is Mastercam shipping yet or is everybody downloading of of the Mastercam site? I would like to wait to load off of a disk but have heard nothing from my reseller.
I know it has the eia/iso option. Does that mean I should be OK? Do they make a MPMaster post for lathes? I use it on our mills without any problems at all. My MC dealer is out of town all week.
The company I work for is buying a Mazak slant turn 50 lathe, nothing fancy just two axis turning. my question is do I need a special post or will the Mazak read the standard fanuc based G-code? I will be using MCX.
Thanks,
Joe
Ok, here is an easy one for you post guys. Useing a MPmaster post I want to go to z home position only at the end of the programe not the x and the y too.
The table capacity on the EC-1600 is 10,000 lbs. That is big enough to do any of the dies that we do. If we were looking at holding .0005 tolerances we too would probably look at the highr price machines. Most of tolerances are .005 or greater. So i ask, Why buy a Cadallac when a Impala will do the job you need it to do? I am not pushing Haas, but you have to look at the job you want it to do. I guess I better dig out my flame suit.
Ocean Lacky, We also cut forging dies so I am very familiar with the material you are cutting (nasty stuff) We are using a Haas VF-8 and have not had any problems with it at all and are cutrently looking into a Haas EC-1600. We use Iscar fast feed mills for our heavy cutting but are looking at the Mitsubishi AJX. If you have any other questions just ask. Don't be so hard on a hydrotell Hardmill they can move a lot of material real fast.
I did a fresh install on a new computer and for some reason I don't have the flats button under my surface finish contour toolpath anymore. I have mill level 3 with maintenance and I downloaded the latest patch from Mastercams websight?
Is the graphics area smaller in version X than in 9, or does it just look like it in the screen shots? Should I be asking my boss for a bigger screen for Christmas?
Try makeing your center hub .0005 bigger than it is. just create a new arc and rechain the geometry of that solid. solids like to overlape when you use boolean.
Thanks guys, I have a few calls out to some dealers. No one will give me a base price, they all want to send out their salesmen. oh well if they want to waste a day just to give me a quote that's their problem.
