Exactly. Sorta. Unless you use 2 diameter offsets. Or maybe run the line one direction for one side of the slot, then run the line the opposite direction for the other side of the slot allowing for...
Yeah, you will have to switch to Cartesian (G112) and G17 plane and program it as X and Y. See page 145 of the lathe manual for an example.
For X and C only, I think it would be something like:
(You put in the Z position.)
C0.
G01 X0.875
X0.6668 C50.9558
X0.875 C101.9116
G0 X1.
C180.
With Y axis? Or X and C only?
Good job. If you do not want the part dropping off in the chip pan, program the cut off to stop at about X0.090 and then you usually can twist and break the part off by hand. I would also recommend...
I could program a slot in MasterCam to use only 1 line. It all depends on how you want cutting to go and how much control you want over finished size.
Can't help you from Dallas, but keep up the good work.
There are also processes to stress relieve material with vibratory stress relief and with shot peening. These seem to be only effective in materials with smaller cross sections.
Use some of your clamping studs and nuts.
How would you do it on a manual mill? Program it in MasterCam to do it the same way.
In this case, G50 X Z sets the machine coordinate zero shift relative to the turret position. Normally it is employed by returning the turret to home position (G0 G28 U0. W0.) the commanding the...
So desperate for an answer you had to post this twice, eh?
I do not see why you are not programming like this or something similar:
G28 U0. W0. (always sent the machine to a safe position BEFORE calling tool change)
T0700 (call tool change)
G50 X0. Z0....
I totally get why someone would need to do this since setting tool length offsets is so difficult on Haas mills.
What happens when you enter each line and execute line by line in MDI?
For proper assistance, one would need to know all variables and subprograms in addition to this sub program.

Radius or chamfer the corners.
V-blocks can work to, even 1 year late.
Use oversize stock on the thickness (1.5"?) and mill as needed then flip and mill off excess using toe clamps or special soft jaws extra long with the part profile milled into them.
Have you considered or inquired about dry ice blasting? From your description, I think it would work for you.
The reason Fanuc is listed is because each type of controller has a certain programming style, or syntax. The G-code languages are similar, but not exactly the same. Most "good" programmers start out...
That is exactly what I was suggesting, a route to go down. You indicate you do not have any CNC experience. Even if you go into robotic machining, you will need to know something about the CNC...
MasterCam for Solidworks will probably be your best bet since you are already familiar with the CAD side of it.
The learning version should do everything a full paid for version does except out put G-code. I would have thought your instructor would have explained this.
Are you only cleaning? Or do you need to remove burned paint?
I have also used vinyl sheets to cover unused spoil board areas.
As mentioned, stress relieve the material before machining. Also, machine equal amounts of material off both sides.
Start with a copy of Machinery's Handbook and become familiar with the milling speeds and feeds section. Then get the recommended cutting speeds and feeds from your tool supplier for the tools you...
When you do any cuting to your MDF you are increasing surface area and vacuum leakage and defeating the purpose of MDF. We used to spray our MDF with sealer on the outside edges and on the top side...
