Good morning all. What would cause the mpldaewoo.pst to post a g53 in the last of five opreations? We have reposted "post crash and a toasted servo drive later" several times and cannot duplicate it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Keith
Look into Emuge "Thriller" thread mills Linky they drill, chamfer, and thread mill all in one shot. Spendy, but you can get 5000 holes in aluminum at just a few seconds per hole
Newbee, Welcome to the forum +1 on the schooling, another way to get some good free experience is to find a machinist/scooter tramp/mentor, ask if he would like to use your machine to build parts for his scoot. Look over his sholder and ask alot of questions. Get your feet wet right up to your neck. Jump in and have fun with it.
Shane, Try decaf.

To add to del, for larger holes with large start holes, ie. .500 hole w/ .375 start hole. You can create a second arc the size of your start hole and chain both arcs. Your no core will cut straight to the outside of the start hole then helix out to finish. Saves alot of time and wire cutting helixes in water from thread point to .375.

Check your MC wire help under "no core wirepaths" There is a lot of good info there. Or if you have a specific question, ask away, we would love to help.
Travis,
Welcome! I'm not sure on the Makino, but on my Mits the Z guide settings are set for you when you run the wire allignment and taper Z. They are the Z1-Z5 settings. Can you post your file to the FTP so I can take a look at it?

I've tryed all possible settings in Type and method. In all cases, if I uncheck subprogram in the contour operation it posts the transform in abs, Check sobprogram, it posts inc.
Kinda makes my head hurt.
Good morning all.
I'm trying to post a subprogram from a contour wirepath. If I post only the contour (no sub), it posts absolute. If I post the transform as a sub, it posts as incermental.
How do I get it to post absolute? Is this a post issue or a setting I've missed?
Thanks
Keith
