i am making die cast molds and use 2020 daily. i have no complaints about the stability of mastercam. my practices are not new and i still use the same paths i have for decades. when i do notice a...
do not zig zag the toolpath. instead go with a 1 way feed. the action of going from climb cut to conventional makes the material suck up into the cutter. make sure the cutter is climbing on the 1...
if this is a mold then the sides are drafted. also, radial steps over in the top view. since i am now in a moldmaking shop i will be the one who polishes it. with scallop the .01 stepover starts at...
for finish i would use scallop. since i have been making diecast molds i like the total cutting of scallop.
parallel is more top view and contour is more side cutting. scallop transitions nicely...

hi brothers,

hi,

i would agree with packrat about the r's. keep slowing it down until the chatter stops. i would use a solid carbide bar to help reduce the chatter.
good luck
i must go with packrat on this one. you need to slow the r's down until the chatter stops. i
would use solid carbide boring bar also.
good luck
I like the procuner holders.
it uses a nut and collet so you wont drop collets. the #1 goes up to 1/4 " and is 3/4 shank and only about 3 inches long.
the problem is that i still break taps on...

that will leave the tool changer open.
sometimes I just put the coolant on the carousel and press the turret buttons.
the coolant will dissolve the old coolant

Hi,
if you are going to use mc for bp's I suggest you get the gd&t chook from the emastercam forum. it is a free download from verisurf. it has many symbols for dimensioning and tolerancing. a...
Hi Will,
I have used a unit similar to the picture. it is not a live 4th axis. it is an indexer. the control is programmed with angles and feedrates for rotation. then you send the index signal...
I think you will not be happy with a boss 5 bridgeport.
the rapid rate is 32 ipm and no tool changer.

You might be a little premature. If things don't straighten out in california soon then My house might go for a few pennys and I might even have a penny sale at my shop. what about the stock market?...
