The reason your diameter is not matching up is because of a difference between the sharp point of the tool and where it actually contacts the thread on the bolt. Your tool probably has a .01-.015r on...

There are some numbers you can check on the generator page while the machine is doing the anneal.wire cut operation. You will need to call charmilles to get the information needed. This will help...

I would try to use constant scallop for that part. It may take a little more effort to get it to work correctly, but your toolpath will probably be much smoother.

Someone else pointed out in another topic, an stl could be used to generate a solid but that won't help for your entry level version. I personally think the .stp or .step files work the best for...

I agree with Bm150, you can change gap settings to only retract at a percentage of stepover or a set distance. Also, I almost always check the optimize toolpath box.

An .stl file is not really a "working" file for Mastercam. Mastercam uses them for stock models, but to my knowledge they cant be used for any programming/toolpaths. I don't think I have ever used...

i am using MCX mr2, sorry about any confusion

i use mastercam, it lets you engrave on an arc (you specify radius), and also the font styles. very cool

i use coolant on alum and softer steel (4140 ann, crs) otherwise i use air

you don't have any programming software? i know htis will be vague, but i used to work at a place where we got all of our thread milling programming online. we just input pitch, dia , etc, maybe do a...

i think you still have both. we don't have usb enabled (still have a slot for it) and we have the rs232 in the back

lol yeah! i have yet to 3d without having to stone or polish, unless the surface finiosh is not critical

i have also noticed this effect. i think it is something inherrent in the way the tool cuts. my best guess anyways

i see alot of posts concerning programming, editing, etc. even haas will tell you editing or programming at the machine is not efficient (because the machine is not running, most of the time...). if...

the haas manual (i believe) recommends a slower baud rate then you can actually use. we used to run at 9600, but now running at the top speed and i have no problems with it

i use cimcoedit to send my programs to a haas vf-3. works great! i don't know all the specifics off hand, but i think i am sending at 128,000 baud rate

i haven't had any problems tapping in the haas vf-3, maybe there were chips in the hole?

programming is the same (i use mastercam also) rigid tapping is in the machine

have you tried the reverse speed? you can set this in parameters to 1x, 2x etc. i have found 2x works pretty good
