Hello All- So I've done these parts for years. I usually do 2 runs of 50 or so per year. I've tried multiple different ways and on this recent run of 50 I tried the same operation I've used 3 or...

Hi JMFabrications, So we are having the same problems on our 2002 VF2. Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I think our solenoid is fine. I'm thinking there is something wrong with our...

Yep we're talking about the same thing! So you did change the system comp to a G41 and it's still not posting with a G41? Can you copy the code that it posts?

Hey Rick- I had to post the code using a G41 offset instead of just a "left or right" offset. Then in the Haas offsets pages I just change the Geometry of the tool. I don't use the wear column, I...

ghyman- Thanks for all the helpful info!!! I have another holder and tap on the way so I'll try your recommendations! I did contact our casting company and they told me it was made of AISI 8630...

Hey Guys- Thanks for the recommendations! I'll try a few different things and see how it works. And yes my Haas VF2 has rigid tapping.

Thanks again for help!!

Hey all- So I'm having some issues and just curious what other opinions are out there. So I am tapping some Cast Steel parts we have made for us. I'm tapping a thru hole at ~1" deep. I have a...

Hey Rob- Yep I found that one. But if I change that to the M84 command (which is air gun off), then if I try and toggle back and forth between using an air gun on some tools and coolant on others...

Hey All- So I'm trying to edit the post processor to add my air gun to the program. I found out how to change the M code in the Haas VF post processor to turn the air gun on but can't figure out...

Got It! Thank you sir!!

Hey Guys- So I have a dome that I need to engrave a design (more like letters) in. Is there a way to project geometry or a sketch onto a domed surface? I just want to engrave .050" deep the whole...

Hey Guys- As the title says. I'm creating a bunch of draft files. I created my own dimension style inside the "smart dimension" callout but if I click off the dimension and then back on again the...

OK yeah I know what ur saying but u can't do that in the pocket feature correct? I'd have to do a "no finish" on the pocket and then do a separate profile. Although it always wants to do a finish...

Hey Guys- So I'm trying to move my lead in/out on the finish pass of this pocket. The way it is now, the lead ins/outs are on the left side of the part. If I leave them like this when they plunge...

First off, Thanks JR for the reply!! Now I know where it is, half the battle is figured out. The next problem I'm faced with is it's not bringing it in to scale... It's enlarging it a ton. I have...

Hey All- So I've been working with Solid edge at my previous job for about 9 years. I recently got a new job and am now using Solidworks 2010. Trying to get used to it, have been through all the...

First off, Thanks for all the great responses!!! 2nd, seems we have some difference of opinions. All is good info though, gives different ideas since i'm sure there is no "right answer". So yes, i...

Thanks for the quick reply! TX!!!! I'll try this tonight when I start. One other question that just popped into my head, is it crucial to have my center drill and drill bit be the same drill angle?...

Hey all- So I have done this job for a customer multiple times and just have never really gotten it right. Thought i would throw this on here and see if i could get some suggestions.

I'm...

Hey all- So I keep getting phone calls from BobCad about specials going on for BobCAD V24. I am currently on V23 and don't use it very often. I do machining part time and don't always need bobcad...

Thanks a ton for the help guys!!! Both ways work well. I think for my application though winaa yours will work better. reason being is i only want to position this once and then change the name...

Hey Guys- So I am trying to draw a rectangle with text in the middle Version 23. I don't want the text centered though. I want the text centered up and down but set 1" off the left edge of the...
