  1. I machine a decent amount of UHMW parts. A .1875 endmill shouldn't really be breaking off. I would back down on the RPM a decent amount as you may be generating too much heat in the cut. Also make sure to be hitting the tool with plenty of coolant or air blast to remove the packing of chips. If i wanted to be really conservative and make sure my tool didn't break I would use a contour ramp toolpath going about 5000 rpm and maybe 40 inches per minute. I don't know your tool stickout or setup so these numbers may be slower than necessary.
  2. You may also need to change NC parameter write to bit 1 to allow these changes.
  3. I have basically the same machine on my shop floor just slightly newer. All of the settings you have look pretty similar to mine except the I/O channel number at the bottom of the setting page. Usually number 4 is for Compact flash memory but it may be different on your machine. I would experiment with this first. Should also mention that you may need to be in MDI mode to change this setting.

  5. I got in contact with him after he removed the videos. He was starting a new job where they didn't want him posting anything online so he decided to make everything private on the channel. He was willing to sell the videos ,which I did buy, for about 100 dollars. I think it was a good value for in house training material for me and my guys as some of the subjects he covered I haven't seen covered anywhere else.
