I'm looking at getting a HP ZD8000 laptop, does anybody have one of these using version X. I was wondering on graphics with the ATI that come in them. What other laptops have people had error free performance w/ using X. I kinda wanted the pentium M chip, not the HT- due to heat reasons.

What do you guys prefer for cutting fluid on aluminum? I am using valenite VNT-700 but had a Master chemical rep come out and says that Valenites stuff will wear out my machines. They said I should use Trim E-206. Thought I would ask people not trying to sell me something.

Mastercam ART
Shawn Wentzel- Wenteq Inc replied to Chris Flint Two Ft Pty Ltd's topic in Industrial Forum
I have had art for six months and I feel that it was released way to early. Especially because I paid for six months of maintnence and have yet to have an update for it. -
Do the holders get damaged or warped heating the with MAPP gas or do you have to have the expensive heating machine?

Hasp not found
Shawn Wentzel- Wenteq Inc replied to Shawn Wentzel- Wenteq Inc's topic in Industrial Forum
The port is soldered. It is like the port isn't there, but I dont have any other device to make sure it is working. -

how do you check the bios? -
I accidently unplugged the hard drive yesterday whhile installing a new graphics card and not my white hasp doesn't work. CNC said it may be the port on the computer, because the sim work on another computer. It doesnt seem that the port would go bad.

Does it hurt the holder heating it with the torch over the special factory built heater?

I am having a problem setting up my Haas VF-4 for communications. It is a 1998 model. I am using cimco editor that comes with mastercam. If anyone could please send me a screenshot of the settings used in cimco it would save me a lot of guess work. also if you could provide the settings for the machine. I don't know if I should use Xon/Xoff, DC modem, ect.

I purchased art, The engraving and rast2vec is a complete separate code, but one code unlocks both features.

Trevor Are you saying not to have them crossed or to cross them. The manual shows to have them crossed.

I also talked to an owner of a company saying triple tool life. Even works on brake rotors. I called robb jack and they said on low quality carbide it should help a lot, but theirs is so high quality, that when they tested it, it didn't shows signs of improvment. They said it would be a waste of money for their tooling.

mc to solidworks locks solid works
Shawn Wentzel- Wenteq Inc replied to TS53's topic in Industrial Forum
Peter My experience has been if I convert from mastercam and without closing MC try to open it in solidworks, it says the file is being read by another user and it will open a read only version. -
coolant thru-drills
Shawn Wentzel- Wenteq Inc replied to Shawn Wentzel- Wenteq Inc's topic in Industrial Forum
I do mostly aluminum, forgot to mention that. -
Is it ok to use coolant drills without thru spindle coolant. I know the performance won't be as goo, but will they load up and break?

Would anybody happen to have a 68-72 chevelle frame or interchange already designed as a cad file? This is a long task trying to recreate it.

Is it possible to change the default starting point of an arc from 0 degrees to 90 degrees?
-
I think the problem with file/get is under screen-config you dont have restore entire NCI on file-get. Has worked for me before.

Dont know if this is OK. I figured to let the guard dogs go check it out! Mastercam on Ebay

Techniks collet chuck
Shawn Wentzel- Wenteq Inc replied to Micromoldmaker's topic in Industrial Forum
I also heard that rego-fix had some nice stuff. Their ER collets are so polished you can see yourself in them, but I have never tried them, but am looking into it. -
I once tried doing intricate engraving and accidently had compensation on when I generated the path and could not get compensation to turn off even though I had it unselected. I ended up rechaining my geometry and it worked fine.
-
One file for the whole part. Assign diff. WCS for each side. You can even orient the part in the machine for example 90 degrees and rotate the toolpath 90 degrees. I find it easier though if rotating a part, to copy all geometry to another location and assigning it a new WCS. That way you can see everything at once.

Have not noticed it, maybe the tool you are using is dull?
