I just noticed this and was quite happy to find it, any opinions or warnings?

Thanks Guys., I could not agree with both of you more, but I like to see if I am the only one who does things the way I do, Jeff your HS and Dynamic were my arguments versus comping on and off as you said, the real kicker in this is we run a Cutter comp Macro that verifys there is comp in the control, the achinist edited this when his over size tool ALARMED out and did not consider the rghing not sure about you but I typically rgh closer than 1/8 inch Thanks again guys and have a great Thanksgiving...

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving Forum I have a pocket programmed to rgh and finish with a 3/4 dia tool, I simply rgh the pocket in steps and Leave desired stock then Finish with a Comp Pass, The Machinist decided to use a 1.0 dia Tool instead of the 3/4, Im sure you can all see where this is going, the rghing is now 1/4 inch oversize , and the Comp pass is fine, so I am asked why we cannot pocket "with comp to allow tool options instead of the tool programmed. I say we are not going to be able to do this simply, the examples used against me are "canned Cycle" and I have not been able to make clear the difference in "Canned Cycles" and pocket routines from Mastercam. Your opinions are always appreciated

Happy Veterans Day and heartfelt Thank You to all the Veterans, we owe you so much I have a Matsura J300 M I want to out put the D value at each G41 or G42 Callout can any one head me in the right direction?

Tyron and Millman thanks for your responses, Tyron I agree and the cycle automatically returns to the initial X, not here but that may be a machinist preference, however the N placement and the error are not. Millman I have sent this to support I am waiting for the response,expect it anytime now I will post the answer when it is figured out. We have one the Super NT250 with the touch screen, Mixed reviews from the machinists and I personally have not gotten used to touch screen and I really do not like touching screens because finger prints drive me nuts on my PC...

Hello Forum With all the "Cloud" talk going on and utilization of manufacture drawings and knowledge base info, have any of you used anything like the Kennametal NOVO app?

Thanks everyone for the responses I am interested in the "surface high speed scallop with fillet edge boundaries, time is a big deal in everything we quote so I'm sure it will not be the only option. We use a lot of the Harvey tools also...

As rightfully recommended I attached a file to my original post, it is positioned as seen on multi tasking machine and all the color 9 lines and splines are to be .005/.02 edge breaks...

Hello Forum More and more deburring is being required in the machine, I find that this "can" be as challenging as the pathing of the part, I'm curious how you are accomplishing this. 3 axis VM with Rotary Indexing, 3 axis HM with Rotary Indexing and, 2 Spindle 3 turret all with Y axis Multi Task machines Mastercam 7 Mill level 3 DEBURRING .MCX-7

PcRobotic Our Company, thru our reseller had the G13 option added to our posting, and if you figure your time it was money very well spent...

Thanks For the looks, I spoke with our reseller as I have seen suggested here many times and they helped me out, again... for any one who may be interested we used a misc integer to reverse the "Dcalc " used for the 1st canned thread pass

I accidently posted in Wrong Topic this is for "System Origin" sorry everyone... I had a hard time with this but found as long as I brought in my stock in the Top View of Mastercam Views, and then Create WCS and views as needed, complete my 1st operation Programming run Verify and get things as I want them, I then Exit Verify set my WCS back to Mastercam Default "Top" and run Verify again, and now when complete save the STL, when you return to Mastercam for your next operation with a new WCS the stock will be repositioned to suit just like your Part File

This is a bit trivial but I find myself deleting in my editor the Start Extension, X or Y line and Just leave the End Extension. I typically select a contour, rather than drawing more geometry I will use the Start End Extension (.1) to avoid plunging into material. Cut this 2.0 long face on Y0. Rapid to X1.1(.1 Start Extension)Y-.25(1/4 Leadin Perpendicular) G1Z- G41Y0D X1.(I delete this Line) X-1.(I delete this line) X-1.1(.1End Extension) G40Y-.25 G0Z Also for machining other than 2d type contours do you have to draw the tool and holder as the tool to verify the holder? Thanks Forum

I have to mention that the 40 IPM is adjusted by the control to maintain Chip load so the actual adjusted feed is ~10.7IPM
