  1. I am using "X" and this is the first time they ever needed a rotary post. If someone has a older 4 axis rotary post that is standard Fanuc / Yasnac code that posts out G54 (or whichever WCS is used) with every tool change and the rotary posts out good (even if you grab a operation in the middle of the file and post a single operation) that it will know the correct A location to post. That would be very helpful.
  2. It seems that the post is not checking to see where the rotary is suppose to be. it assumes it is where it should be and posts M11 A0. M10 If I knew how to tell the post to check rotary location and code out M11 G0 G90 A (CORRECT ANGLE) M10 That would do it. I think.
  3. Goog Morning Class. I just noticed that when I post out only a partial of a program to look at something. The angle output is A0. and not A270. like it should be but if I post the entire file when it gets to the tool in question the A270. is correct. Not good if I were to partial post for a cut and paste. It would start at the wrong location. Anyone out there in Rotary land have any ideas on how I could correct this. Thanks
  4. Got it. All better. Another thing I just noticed is when I post out only a partial of the program to look at something. The angle output is A0. and not A270. like it should be but if I post the entire file when it gets to the tool in question the A270. is correct. Not good if I were to partial post for a cut and paste. It would start at the location
  5. Hi Gents, Question; When I post I get the below message. "INDEX ANGLE DOES NOT MATCH POST SETTING (CTABLE)" Any ideas on how I can fix this? All looks good and it posts but I dont know if it will be at the machine side.
  6. It had some information on what I was looking for. I thought.
  7. Hello Gents and Ladies Is there a mastercam file or model for a standard kurt vise anywhere to be found. I have not been on the forum for quite awhile and it has changed.. a lot. Please advise. Thanks
  8. Really? Nothing? MasterCam forum is not what it used to be. Sorry to see it go that way.
  9. Hi there MasterCam Gurus. Where I work now. They have 2 older EZ-Traks. I used to have the software to use on a PC. Does anyone in CNC land know where I could get another copy? The people at work use it as a Bridgeport with a readout on it "ONLY" Please advise. Thanks
  10. Hi Guys. It has been a while. Question; At one point I thought there was a "C" hook for a tape to shape type function. I am now at a company that has quite a few manual cnc mill programs that I would like to convert (The best I can.) Any ideas would be helpfull? Thanks
  11. Hi Guys. In a nut shell, what are the usable changes from X4 to X5 in full milling? Thanks
  12. Hi there. I haven't been on this forum for quite a long time. Question; We have an older Agiecut wire that we are having issues with. We are in contact with Agie repair and they want us to pick up an edge of a part without water. Our operator (Who has only been doing this forever) does not know how to pick up without the water on. If anyone in Agie world has any info we would be forever grateful.
  13. WOW. Never mind. I forgot how to do anything on the forum. How are all the MC gurus doing?
  14. Hello Mr Jparis. Are you still playing @ S4A?
  15. Any other Agie Guru's in the house?
  16. Hi Guys. It's been a while. Doe's anyone in Mastercam land have or use a Agie wire. If so. Is it as dumb as it appears or am I? The operator tells me you can not just cut a straight line, that everything needs to be a closed loop. Yes? No? Thanks
  17. Awesome, I never would of looked there. Thanks
  18. Hi Guys. This is most likely right in front of me but here goes. I need to thread a 1/4-28 left hand helicoil on a lathe. I can't seem to get MC to spit out a M4. Once upon a time all I needed to do was put in a negative spindle speed but no longer. Thanks.
  19. Thanks guys. Surface. What does the north shore think of the B-52 cutters?
  20. Hi Guys, Does anyone in MC land use or know of a Fly cutter that uses indexable inserts? I'm using a Shear-hog made by A.B. Tool now which is for aluminum and we are cutting 4340 for the finish. It works great but at $16.0 per insert of which is only 2 corners it's starting to hurt. Thanks
  21. Hi Guys I need to put in an o.d. groove in the corner of a part at 45 degrees. Is there anyone who has a tool drawn for a kenn type NRR-123b holder? As you know MC lathe is somewhat strict on the inserts and holders used. Thanks
  22. Hi Guys. I was reading some older posts on rotary output and could use a hand. I need my code to post out only positive rotations " A45. A315. no A- numbers. With "MC X" I'm sure it is more than just do this to the post. Anyone know how I could do this without screwing up something else?
