This thread is more than a year old, but I am at a similar point, so I would appreciate any help. I do have the format correct in that I got past the alarms as begining the move to the start point....

This snippet is in exact parallel to the sample in the manual. It is for testing purposes, to get the hang of using the command:

OK, we've been using ProComm V4.8 for years. I just had occasion to need to reinstall it on a PC here, and, lo and behold! The sucker ain't compatible with Windows XP! That is, it works OK if it is...

I know I have see ads from suppliers who supply cold drawn material in tolerances compatible with Swiss type machines. I have also seen them at Eastec. However, I can't locate my information about...

That sounds about right. Except that when you teach the diameter it's not "X zero", it's the diameter. Oh and don't subtract the tool radii unless you are going to add them back in with the program....

As soon as I can stop being a doofus & remember to bring a flashlight down here, I'll do it!

Here is what happened: It got to the end of the stroke with the power feed & jumped the track in that it no longer moves left to right. I have heard of this happening before in fact seen it, but I...

Hi Everyone,
A few days ago our Matsuura MAM500 with Yasnac control had a problem with the Z Zero function in that it overtraveled intermittently. I had service techs in to look at it but of course...

Thanks. Between my 3 semesters of German and a copy of Langenscheidts, maybe I can tough it out!

As part of my Master's thesis, I need to get some good technical information about lapping. How it works, what is going on at the micro level, how does the lapping action proceed over time, etc. Does...

I have created many with the G65, but not with the G66 modal. Does that make it work like a drill call, in which subsequent positional moves cause the macro to be repeated from the new position? I...

Thank you, but I am talking about tools that are a tap drill and tap in one tool. I have seen them down to 6-32. They typically have a short length of drill followed by the tap. That way if you are...

Is there anyone who makes drill tap combinations (also known as "draps") down to 0-80? I can't tell you how easy it would make a certain part, if there is such an animal.
Thanx,

That reminds me of something that happened to me once. Not as extreme but scary enough. I was watching a guy who was setting up to do some ID grinding. This was a smallish machine that used 1-1.5"...

I have been asked to drill a .014 hole .1 deep. It starts at the bottom of a 1/8
NPT, and breaks out into a .156 hole .1 away like I said. Being designers they are insisting on the .1 length to...

Thank you for your reply.
How about with tool kitting? That is, tool crib software that allows for a large number of tool kits in addition to the crib. That would be enough; it would constitute a...

Does anyone out there have suggestions relevant to a software package combining tool crib control and machining center set up documentation? Something that would allow users creating set up...
