    Thanks everyone I will check Dell. I was also getting price as high as 5000.00 Canadian. I took the recommended requirement off the mastercam site to the computer store and asked for something in the middle of the requirements . So this time I will take 2000.00 dollars with me and see what I can get. Cheers

    looking for a laptop to run mastercam. I may be working from home shortly. Just looking for suggestion . Downfall is I only want to spend 2000.00 Canadian , Am I wasting my time or is this possible. Thanks
  4. I have plate with about 100 slots in it. they are .750 wide 3 inches long. they go in a 30 deg angle .875 deep. I have the ability to tilt my head at 30 degs . Is there a way to tell mastercam the tool is at 30 deg. Thanks screen.mcam
  5. Thanks for the info. Not that familiar with EDM's . I will look into the mikron vision system.
  6. ThanKs I will check it out.
  7. The material we are drilling is graphite.
  8. we don't get continuity thru our speeder spindle, maybe because of ceramic bearings. And I was told a laser is bigger then the drill so it wouldn't detect a broken drill. I was trying to find a way to energize the work piece and hook a light up so when the drill touches the work piece the light goes on. Maybe I'm not thinking straight.
  9. Does anyone know of a tool break monitor that will work with a 20 micron drill? I am drilling 10 pieces with 1300 hole in each piece and would like a light or something to alert me when the tool breaks. not sure if there is something like this available.
  10. Thanks for all the input I will check out these options.
  11. Looking for some options on how to set the length offset on a 30 micron drill. we have been doing it with a portable micro scope , but we are not very efficient right now , looking for a quicker option . thanks
  12. Thanks for all the info . We have a company coming from Toronto to help us with this. I think it will be a big investment but hopefully it works out.
  13. we are running it on a brand new hurco. but that may have to change . I know it can be done our competitor is doing now. I will contact hurco and see what they say. Thanks
  14. I know that this exists, but not sure where to look for it. What I want to do is energize my work piece, so when my tool comes in contact with the top of the part it automatic zeros my z axis. What our customer wants, is to keep the hole within .0003 in depth over 540 hole our drill dia is .020 . the problem is the material is graphite and the top surface is not 100% flat. Does anyone have experience with this?
  15. awesome thats the one I was looking at. it goes to 80k. we are drilling .0015 dia. holes right now in HURCO running 8k ,not to efficient . do you need to keep the machine isolated from the vibration of other machine in the shop?
  16. Does anyone use a spindle multiplier? I am looking to get up to 100000 rpm if possible. Thanks
  17. Yes Sir that's the one thanks allot.
  18. thanks I tried that but no luck.
  19. I found the line arc filters and they are turned off.
  20. not sure where to turn them off.
  21. Good Morning Is there a way to post all moves as linear moves with no arc moves. Im using multisurface rough toolpath. getting some arc error so i was hoping to post them as just linear moves. Thanks
  22. Thanks this gives me a few more options.
  23. Good question I will have to check that.
  24. Looking for another supplier to buy a 40 micron drill. osg has them but they are 320.00 per drill. all the other supplier stop at 50 micron. any other suggestions will help. Thanks. Been using harvey tool for the 50 micron holes but they don't go smaller then that.
