How is your flush condition? I have the same prob on my Mitz, if my upper flush cup is set too high above the part. HTH Keith

JG, Thank you! I think we have a handle on it now. Keith

JG, You've got mail. Thanks. Keith

JG, Thanks for the help! Prieciat ya. I've been trying to recreate it as you described no luck. What do you mean you re-did the surfaces. Did you delete them and start over, or retrim them? Can you e-mail what you have? If I can see it maby the light will come on [email protected] Thanks Keith

JG, I have a fixture to hold the A axis tilted up at a 16 deg angle. My tolerence is +-.002 width & depth. I hope to be able to post it as 5 axis with the B axis set to a constant 16 deg and just delete all the B commands out of the prog. What do you think? Thanks Keith

Hi All. Please Help. I have a 5 axis job and a 4 axis machine. I'm trying to cut a groove in a surface by tilting our 4th axis up at 16 deg. I,m sure it can be done, but have zero 5 axis experience I've posted it to the ftp "MC9_Files/AFD_5AXSWARF.MC9" Can someone take a look at it and lend some advice. Should I toolpath it as 5axis swarf, or can I force mastercam to hold the B axis at 16deg. with WCS and program it as 4 axis? Thanks in advance! Keith

CNCGUY, How do you disable the .1? I've got to do this on ours! Thanx Keith

I prefer 2 flute high speed steel cutters and air to clear the chips. If you are welding burrs back onto the corners, try a lower rpm. For deburring I roll a burr on an exacto knife "Drag the blade, tilted at a slight angle, across the shank of an 1/4" end mill. This will turn the edge to one side." Scrape the rolled knife edge sideways along your nylon burr to peel it off. Works good and less chance of gouging the part. HTH Keith

Just thinking out loud. Do you have a sine plate?

Tried a test cut and ended up with a pool of lead on the lower head. Mits FX20, 1.5" thick lead for X-Ray masks. Any power setting help is appriciated, or even a general starting point will do. Prob is, I don't have much material for test cuts. Thanx in advance Keith

Most of my parts get blown up at our testing grounds or sent into space. I work R&D for a solid rocket motor and Ammo Mfg company. http://www.atk.com/thiokol/

After you break your notes, try Modify->Conv to arcs->All->Splines? HTH Keith

I've had the same prob. Found that if you hit "Enter" twice it will stop. Keith

How wide is the gap on both sides of the wall? If you have enough room for a start hole and can burn the thin wall to finish before cutting through the edge, stress relief wont be a problem. Sounds to me like a solid set up will be the hardest part. Invar is pretty stable stuff, but will stress relieve some when cut through from the outside. HTH Keith

How about "TEH" Keith
