With details that small I think you have to worry the most about deflection, I'd use about 50 sfm, Man you're gonna go thru alot of cutters. Good Luck

I'll give it a try!

I uploaded it to the FTP site, it's in .igs format (btw it was a UGS file)

sfm / dia. / .262

I e-mailed you one, it's in mc9 format, hope it's what you were looking for, if not let me know i'll find something better, if you want

Well the problem on the verify sounds like a video driver problem, see if their is a update for your video card

Worked like a charm!! Thanxs jmparis

Is their a way to have to the contour toolpath go down at the end of a pass (depth cuts on)instead of going back to the start of the path?

Just got a daewoo puma 240 lathe, good machine, but turret is too tight, and can't thread over 1200 rpm, but machine is laid out well and easy to get at everything, 8 out of 10

I can help you with it. If it's not to complicated, you don't need to pay

This thing is great, thanxs very muchs

I used the same feeds and speeds as 316 stainless and it worked great.

Thanxs for the help

I need a good WCS tutorial for X, I've tried using the V9 one but I can't figure it out, I havent used the view manager before, so this will all be new to me, I need to know how to set the Tplanes & Work offsets Thanxs

Thanxs for the help, I got it to work

When i'm making a horizontal dimention, the arrow heads both point in the same direction, how can i have both the arrows pointing from the outside of the leaders, I know their is a option for this but it doesent work when I have the "center text between arrow heads" box unchecked,which i need it to be . PS how can i post a picture with the topic

I agree with you Dave, and the program is really good, but why not go the extra mile (km up here eh!) and make it next to perfect.

I don't know how many of you out their have Solidworks,Invertor,Solidedge,ProE,UGS,or Catia in their shop, but thouse who do I think will agree with me on this statement, The new Version of Mastercam is vastly improved over the older versions and I like it very much, but, the cad modeling is still very inferior to the other CAD programs I listed above, it is to tedius and unforgiving when drawing that i rarly use it. Once they make the cad part of the program with Parametric dimentioning I think the program will be close to perfect. For thouse of you who havent used any of the CAD programs that I mentioned above I'll try to explain how they work, let's say you drew a 2inch square in mastercam, and later on you need to change it to a 1x2 inch rectangle yes you can change the dimentions after it has been drawn, but none of the lines are associative so you have to change the length of 2 lines as supossed to 1 as in Solidworks. this is just one example of faster and easier ways of drawing in Solidworks. I hope that CNC Software will think of adding this superior way of drawing into thier future releases of Mastercam. PS. sorry about the spelling

Yep, Got mine on Sept 1st and the codes to

Thanxs gcode, found what I needed

I can't find a way to make a circle tangent to 2 lines?

Thanks Peter! worked like a charm

When I rotate geometry using Xform rotate, it copies the geometry even though I have the Move button selected, does anybody know why?

Thank-you Lucky

Does anyone no how to stop the verify dialog box from popping up when i select geometry for trimming
