Did you ever finish this project?
Wireframe.
How can I change the diameter of a bunch of selected holes? I don't want to do this one by one...there has to be an easy way that I'm not seeing
Just to add to this....I was at my friends shop today trying to figure out why he was getting the 2028 alarm. His RPM on one tool was 125 rpm. He used the spindle override to reduce speed on a...
Sending from a KIA lathe with a Fanuc Control and HAAS mills with the same results. I send programs to the Mills all the time but coming from the machine to the pc doesn't work so it's a one-way...
No help on the other forum and yes, there is a % at the end of my program.
I'm trying to send programs from my lathe to my editor. The Editor says the program is received but when I click "OK" the program is empty.
The screen shot is from the cimco editor but I'm having...
I was adding those damn T numbers manually...that just saved me a lot of time.
Now, how do I set defaults...ie coolant on, clearance plane, etc.
I'm getting there....I just need to learn to be...
That was painless. Why didn't I ask this earlier? Thanks!
How do I add a line to my post that will add a T# so the tool changer stages the next tool in the carousel?
This is for a HAAS VF2ss.
My code is..
N1 G0 G17 G40 G49 G53 G80 G90 Z0
M6 T1...
I wanted to but got busy at work....
I've had this problem on one of my machines. It was a precursor to needing a new gear box but I was able to get by for a couple years before it came to that. A few things I did to get the gearbox...
Is this what you're looking for?
I copied the profile 49" in Z.
Solids > Loft
Selected the bottom and top profiles with the starting point 120 degrees difference.
I purchase X6 earlier this year. Mill level 1 with solids.
Mill level 1 > $6,195
20% discount -$1,239 (advertised "limited-time" offer)
Solids > $1,150
Shipping = $20
Tax = $442.69
Total =...
"activate solid selection"
"select face"
Interesting part indeed and I think you've done a great job on it. I don't see how you can do this without the full 4th option though. I'll be staying tuned to see what the power users come up with.
I think a 25mm dia tool is too big. Maybe ok for roughing?
I don't know how you can expect to get a 0 radius on the edge against the wall unless you're moving to a 5th axis
3.15mm drill and osg hypro form-tap...that's what I use.
Sometimes things just remain a mystery. I was running Duramill variable flute end mills with great success....hundreds of nickel parts roughed with a single end mill consistently. All of a sudden...
Not really a mastercam problem but thought I'd ask here since I use mastercam to program.
How do you deal with vibration marks on the interior corners of a pocket where you're hanging a small tool...
I didn't have the exact problem you're experiencing but similar. We ended up reloading the "9000" programs from the disc/usb that came with the machine (should be in the back cabinet) and it fixed...
Geof,
Thanks for making me feel so much better today!
I agree it should be taken out but it's not the solution to the OP's problem.
Steve
newer machines wont run with a "A" "B" "C" etc in them unless there is a unit plugged into the control and turned on. the older machines will.
mines 09 and wont run it.
I believe there...
I agree we should try to get the problem solved and leave out the rest....although I'm sure everyone has their best intentions.
I have the same vintage vf1 and I sent your program to my machine...
Just a disclaimer...I didn't make the video...found it on youtube and thought it could help the original poster figure things out on his own. I know nothing about programming lathe work in mastercam...
...but the music was good..;)

I came on here to report back on a very similar post I made a week ago. I never got an alarm, just a probe that wouldn't do anything when it was supposed to. Reloaded the programs and it now works....
