I did read it correctly. One might get told there is a discount, when bundling on a USB hasp, but there isn't... in at least this region
Jaws does come calling, but some sharks have a bigger bite than the rest of them
It isn't a Prime Module, it is just a function within the rough turning. Basically controlling the entry.
The finishing is multi directional. I did have a play around with the Mastercam prime module a while back, to see what all the fuss was about.
As for the Sandvik Product (The Prime Code Generator), I've been looking at getting a license to test it. I work closely with the local Sandvik representative (they gave me the tool for this test).
Reviving an old thread
I just ran a test of Sandvik Prime turning. 300m/min, 1mm/rev feedrate, 4mm (on diameter) depth of cut, and 3mpa chuck pressure. Turning away from the chuck, without a tailstock support, and not using gripper jaws. Machine is an Okuma U3000-1500 2SW
Worked really well, and I will be doing some more testing in the new year. The chips came off perfect. The dwells and slow lead in were because I was videoing, and single blocking.
I'll run a better sample in January. Summer holidays kick in about 1 hour (woohoo )
And it wasn't using Mastercam.

I had Wintool demoed to me a few years back. I was really impressed with its capabilities. I also have a customer with a TDM and a Zoller, and that works well with Vericut for them.
I agree with Colin, contact Daniel, as he has a bunch of knowledge on this.
I hope you don't think that was aimed at you Ron. Because it wasn't. Though I get the impression I was taking a dig at you. But I wasn't...
I just thought that image was funny in general.
Good timing on the thread. I'm looking at a new HP ZBook mobile workstation, and trying to decide between an i9 and Xeon processor.
Max of 64Gb ram.
Currently running an i7, with 64Gb of ram, so I'm guessing the i9 would be a better bet.
Yes it does. But it doesn't get a lot of use
I typically only use the Machine/Cut Stock view in V9, and constantly change the view to requirements using the spacemouse.
Vericut 9 is planned to be released before the end of the year. I'm currently beta testing it. In fact, I'm using it "in production" as I have found it to be pretty stable. A few minor glitches for me so far.
I really like V9. A big improvement
Back in the dim dark days of Okuma, before tool setters on the machine, this method was the standard practice. This was well before the days of PC's and Mid Auto Manual as well (I'm talking the OSP2200 control and paper tape days).
But nowadays, there is definitely no need for that, especially on a control as powerful as the P300.
I'm currently beta testing Vericut V9, and all I can say, is that the graphics are definitely improvement. As I type this I am currently running a hefty simulation, and the difference is plain to see.
