Hi Ron,
I tried to use that "ROLLDIE" chook and it seems to make the finish and sides even worse. (never used it before)
Are there any settings that need to be adjusted on the last screen that pops up?
Thanks
Hi Peeps,
We have a new Doosan MX2600.
We also bought the post from Mastercam that has machine simulation.
Question....
We have a stainless steel part over 42" long and 6.5 diameter. We are starting on the right spindle using steadyrest from lower turret and cutting a slot. Now the work on the right spindle is complete. We need to transfer the part from right to left. Thats not the problem.....
The problem is the part is long and very heavy, so, how do I move the right spindle and the lower turret at the same time during the transfer?
Thanks
Right click on the file.....
open with..... (select Mastercam X7)
Make sure "always use the selected program to opem this kind of file" is checked
or
just delete X6
Our NetHasp is setup on a server in our North Carolina facility.
There are problems but are minimal. Worst is when IT messes with the server we get a "NetHasp has been disconected, do you want to save?" Maybe it IT..... or weather. Who knows. Restart Mastercam and it comes back usually right away.
yes it does Del.
Just wierd that it switches when the part is drawn in inch, programmed in inch using this machine definition, then I go to modify something in settings, machine definition it wants to switch over.
Is there a way to permanently change the units from metric to inch in a machine definition?
When I go to settings and machine definition manager, I get a window that pops up that says changing units from English to Metric. Tha part is drawn in English and now it wants to convert.
Hey John,
I see there is a tip offset of .01.
Why does mastercam go deeper than that. Just curious.
We have our pre-setter set a chamfer tool to a diameter and program a flat endmill at that per-set diameter because the tip offsets always seem wrong for a chamfer cutter.
Or am I missing something???
Thanks
