*** Breaking in and playing devil's advocate here*** If the file extension stays the same from now on then in future releases would it not be possible to have a file that cannot be opened because it CNC Software doesn't go back that far. (eg, the other thread about MC7 files that is heated). Just a question here is all. For me I have updated(or have tried to) all my files just to make sure there are no problems with them in case i need to change a path or something. *** Ok ...I now end my devil's advocate role ***

We use them on 416SS and 4140 alloy with excellent results. We even use the same grade and style for both materials. Here is the specs we use: SANVIK CUTTER: RA245-051R19-12M SANVIK INSERT: R245-12T3E-ML QUANTITY:3 SANVIK WIPER: R245-12T3E-W QUANTITY:1 Sanvik's website is not the best for research but most insert manufacturers make this style of insert.

well material is a key factor in deciding what method to use. We maintain a 32 finish on 416SS material using a sandvik 1-1/2" 45 degree face mill. The key was/is the insert selection. Talk with your insert rep. about using a "wiper" insert. It was the the solution to feed lines and a "wavey" finish. I could get you the info if you are interested. JM2C

Sorry Chris, i re-read your original post. Ours are single. Although good heads just not what you are looking for.

Alberti/Komas here. Use them on our Mori's. Not bad but we have found that if you max out the diameter recommendation you will run into problems with them.

duplicate lines will call this problem also. I normally do a chain to find if there is only 1 chain. this will also check for broken lines. After chaining i blank this entity to make sure there is nothing "behind" it jm2c

+1 to mitee bites especially if you are needing access to the complete top surface of the parts. Cheap and simple workholding.

Our NV's have an override key switch.....which i am sure you already know about..it will allow you to run in single block with the door open which when probing is a pain in the butt trying to cycle through....John, i may be wrong but i would venture to guess that this is a keep relay that you are looking for..just a hunch on my part since i have never looked into this.

+1 on conventional mill and S & F. that would be really close to where i would start also.

.006/side for low pressure (water line or even low air pressure) is not that bad. basically you will be drilling a hole for a NPS thread(straight pipe thread). It should still seal but it will require additional tape or thread dope. (personally i have always had to use tape or thread dope to seal properly anyways). JM2C

+1 to doing it right

+1 to EMUGE

You sure under finish contour parameters the "Total Tolerance" you want that to be .0001" Just a question. i know on my system it locks up also but when changed to .001 it works fine.

For me i create a level for my holder;define it on that level. Works great on backplot. when using verify it shows only a "default" tool. Is this the same problem you guys are referring to? If so then i personally would love to see what i define in verify because that is where i do most of my collision checks not just with the part but with fixturing,hydraulic lines,etc. Just my 2.5 cents worth David
