I have a 1986 Sabre 750 with A2100 control. The touch screen went down about 4 years ago and since I didn't have the money to replace the touch screen I took the back cover off to get access to the...

Thanks for the touchscreen tip. I would be interested to know more about removing the board as you have done. My screen worked great for about 6 years then went crazy and finally went black. I...

Thanks for your input JordanMach. I tried doing a battery replacement once before and wound up sending both board from my machine to Maver1ck to get them right. I have replaced the hard drive with...

Thanks for the response Mike. I sent both boards from my machine to Maver1ck a couple of years ago because I had tried to replace the battery using some instructions off the web and wound up in...

I sent a PM to Maver1ck but it has been a couple of years since I last contacted him so I don't know if he is still on the forum. So while I wait I though I would throw this problem out there to see...

Thanks for the info warrenb, that is exactly what I did thanks to input from others like yourself. I really do appreciate the help.

I would like to have my drawing display ounces in the weight field on my drawing. I have it now so that it displays for example
WEIGHT: 0.26 LBS, but I want it to display WEIGHT:4.16 OZ,...

Have not tried that but the feedback I'm getting indicates you may be correct. And we followed the instructions precisely to do the battery replacement, so do not use that method for sure

PM sent
Thanks

I have a 1996 Sabre 750 with A2100 control. Had to replace the x axis servo cable, and it was done without problems. Changed the batteries while it was down just to be safe since they had not ever...

I have not tried the M05 in between the M19 calls, but will do so on Monday.'
Thanks,

On my machine, the M19 followed by an S word (angle) will lock the spindle in that angle. I didn't notice on the screen what is coming up, but I do know that when I use the G84.1 tap cycle there is...

I would like to try to do some engraving and I want to orient the spindle to different angles so that the "face" of the tool is always perpendicular to the line of cut. I can get the first...

I recently purchased a 2004 Yang SV1000 (ser# Z90008) this was the same machine as the Hardinge of the time period. It was warehoused since 2004 and had never been in production. It has the swingarm...

Thanks maver1ck, you are exactly correct. I was using the M19 on the MDI screen to test it. As you stated, as soon as I put in some x and z moves to actually do the broaching it did indeed lock in...

I need to lock the spindle in position in order to do some light broaching. I give the control an M19 which will orient the spindle, but does not lock it into place. I've tried giving it an S word...

Greetings to All,
It's been a good while since I did anything in ArtCAM so I'm having some problems solving a problem. As you can see in the attached file I am doing a V-Bit toolpath, using a 1/8...

No problem SolidCAD. I'm the same way, if I see an interesting or complicated part, I like to save a copy just in case I run up against s similar project. BTW, your Gator avitar have any connection...

Here is the completed part. Thankfully my SW maintenance was current and I was able to get help from my SW vendor. He created the cut using the swept-cut feature because the wrap does not work on...

Got it solved.
Thanks

Yes, the little (maybe 13mm x 16mm) key that is on the bottom of the spindle, on CNC machining centers. Basically the same as the ones on the manual mills. Grinding them shorter allows the tool to...

Greetings! I was curious to know if it makes any difference if the spindle key is ground off shorter so that it will not make any difference in which way the tool is loaded in the spindle? Recently...

Thanks for the explanation. It is still confusing, even after I went back and looked at the help screen info after reading your info. The help screen info is basically the same for top and top z...

You are probably using mcamX and I agree it is confusing at first. I still use V9 and love it

If you find the post I would be most grateful. Send it to my email address if you find it.
Thanks,

Thanks for the help with the depth of cut issue, and yes I am finding more and more things I don't understand the reasoning for. Sometimes you have to select bottom, sometimes top, or bottom z, etc....

I have a 1997 Cincinnati Sabre 750 with Acramatic 2100 control. I had my own small machine shop and used MasterCAM V9 for the past 12 years to program the machine. I recently had to close my shop...

I have a 1997 Cincinnati Sabre 750 with Acramatic 2100 control. I am in need of a chip conveyor for this machine asap. Any help and or leads will be much appreciated. I am located in Myrtle Beach,...

Thanks coop31. I thought it was probably possible, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something. I've moved it 3 times over the past 12 years but only with the lugs, so nice to know from...

I have a 1997 Sabre 750 I need to move to another location about 25 miles away. I wanted to know if this machine can be lifted with a forklift or can it only be moved using the 4 lifting lugs. ...
