Thanks MichaelJ. Looks like they have one I can modify a small bit to work.

Hi Guys, I need to put in a .060 wide x Ø.220 i.d. grv in a part that needs to be .760 deep. I have a Ø.198 dia. hole. Doe's anyone in MC Lathe land know of any place that has solid carbide groove bars that would accommodate this? Micro-100's smallest is a min. hole of Ø.250.

Plunge and Retract are both at 32 but it has always used the cutting feedrate before I got to the comapny I'm at now. That's why I'm wondering if there is a switch or default somewhere.

Hi Guys. When doing any surfacing and using the direction option to start off the part it codes out as such. It never did that before G54 G0G17G40G49G80G98G90G54T2 T2M6(1/2 CARBIDE 3 FLUTE END MILL ) M22S1100 G0G90G54X-1.2524Y-1.5763A90. M21 M8 G43H2Z4.M3 Z.8 G1Z.6F32. Y-1.1763 Y.078F4. G0Z.65 Z4. X-1.3104Y-1.5762 Z.8 G1Z.6F32. Y-1.1762 Y.078F4. G0Z.65 Tool comes down at F32. doe's its direction cut at 32 also instead of 4. Any ideas?

It only doe's it on facing passes and not only in backplot. It actually changes the facing to o.d. and from left to right in the operation itself.

There is no auto. Only left & right.

HI Guys. I've had trouble with something in the lathe part of Mastercam that I can't figure out why it doe's what it doe's. When I go to finish parameters, pick a line (to face) choose the face/turn tool(cnmg431)change finish direction to face, put compensation direction to left, all works great. Go on to the next operation. When I regenerate it crashes, I check the tool I had face and the finish direction has changed to o.d. and the comp. dir. has changed to right. 9 out of 10 times. Can anyone think of something I'm doing wrong?

Ya. I stupid. I had the add to offset switch turned off instead of on with add "0" Thanks
-
Hi guys. When I renumber tools all the tools renumber fine but the offsets don't change. I'm looking fot T1, H1, D31 and so on. Is there a switch I'm missing? I works fine with a diff. post but I cant find a differance.

Its irrelevant. It doesn't do what I'm looking for at any size.

Doug, Thats what I want to do. Kannon, I tried that. No luck. John, I dont want helix entry. The bug in the machine wins. Thanks guys.

Hi Guys I'm having trouble with a thread mill output. I want to start in ctr on i.d. thread come out 90 degrees with comp cut my helix and comp off back to center. In the parameters I have start in center, perp. entry only. No helix lead in/out is checked and it cuts a circular lead in /out anyway and its F-in up the part because its cutting into the side of thread making look like its cross threaded It takes gage fine. I finally cut a circle and added in the "z" by hand. Anyone know why it will not just turn on comp, helix and turn off comp.

Wow.

That's what I thought. It's time to send someone to school or put in another operator. Thanks
-
I'm not sure. I'm new here and we have the wire that they don't use much. It's a 2001 so its not old. The operator says it is only for dies and such. That you can't just tell it to cut a straight line. I find that hard to believe. Agie is suppose to be a decent machine, I thought. I think the operator is being .... well you know. I'm just wondering if it is an all around good machine. I want to start using it more but not if it's not worth the time.
-
Hi Guys. Doe's anyone in MC land use the Agie Agiecut classic edm wire machine.

Hello... Is anyone home?

Ok. I have 2 icons for mastercam, 1 for lathe and 1 for mill. C:McamX2mastercam.exe /M C:McamX2mastercam.exe /L both work on opening the mill or lathe package but the default in MC is for lathe and when I open the mill package I have mill3 but the toolbar is for lathe. I tried C:McamX2mastercam.exe /M configthreept82.mtb and a few other combos but I can't seem to get it to work. What I'm looking for is when I open mill for the my mill toolbar to open with it and for lathe for my lathe toolbar to open. Any help would be good. I'm going Bug-F*%ky.
-
Thanks. I will.

Hi guys. The new Verisurf GD&T for windows works good. I get all the letters, numbers and symbols in box form. Is there a way to change it to stick form?

Anyone know why MC can open the old cadkey files but now that cadkey is Keycreator it can't open Keycreators .ckd files?
