Had to sign up for a year of BobCad support but they did some tweaking of a post for me and I'm back up and running.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having similar issues. Did you get a proper post from BobCad?

I just started a new position and I'm going to be running a 5hp knee mill with a Fagor 8040 control. Apparently before I got here they were running V22 and when they upgraded to V32 the machine would...

This seems to work. I had to add a 5 to the K value. I don't get the error anymore and the machine goes through the motions. My tap broke but I think I need one of those floating tap holders. BobCad...

I'm having the same problem tapping with a 4-40. I have tried both of the below lines of code. I'm guessing the F value is the problem. What should it be?

N439 G84 G98 X0.25 Y-0.25 Z0.1 I-0.2008...

Thanks for all your help. I finally received a e-mail from my Mastercam rep late on Friday. He made me a little tutorial video explaining how it is done. And yes the holes were what was causing me...

I have been playing around some more. Now I get a error:

Parasolid(R) Kernal Interface Error
Boolean Error
Operation would result in a non-manifold body

Here's the file if you want to have a look.

I've tried a bunch of things and I keep getting an error:

Parasolid(R) Kernal Interface Error
Boolean Error
Face imprinting operation failed

Great, I will play with it in the morning when I get to work. Thanks, at least now I know where to start.

I've got a solid model of a finished part. The customer wants us to make a vacuum mold for that part. It a little dome shaped plastic cover. I need to create the male shape that would go inside that...

Thanks for all your input guys. It turns out that a few drops of coolant ran down the hose and dropped onto the power supply for the control in the back electrical cabinet and fried the board.

I checked all the fuses and breakers this morning and they are all good. Tried holding down the "PRGRM CONVRS" button on the keypad and that didn't work either. I called the closest HFO and they were...

I had a similar problem and it was the switches sticking. The tech sprayed them with a electronic contact cleaner to free them up.

We have a 2001 VF1 which developed a major coolant leak in the main line for the flood coolant. I shut the machine down and removed the sheet metal that covers the head. I powered the machine up...

Thanks for the reply. We ended up buying a used Milltronics Rw-15. It only has 500 hrs on it. It basically brand new and we got it for half what a new one is worth and it came with alot of tooling....

Thanks for all the replies. We ended up buying a used Milltronics RW-15. It was half price of a new one and came with lots of tooling. It's like new with only 500hrs on it. It seems to be a nice...

I have not heard good things about the Microcut, I have run a 2001 HAAS VF1 for two year's and It was only down once for something minor. Maybe not the most ridgid machine but we do prototyping and...

I finally have time to get back to this. I don't get the guarded code anymore and it creates another program called (clipboard) on the program list but it won't write it into the other program. Arrrgg

Geof, Thanks for the reply. I still can't get it to work. When a copy to the clipboard at the bottom in red it says "guarded code" is that the problem? What does that mean? Then when I paste nothing...

Simple question. I'm trying to help out our TM-1 operator. He wants to be able to program a operation using the Intuitive Programing System and cut and paste that into another program. I need a...

I didn't get any response to my other mill post. Maybe the two models I was enquiring about are new. Does antbody have any experience with the CNC mills from Hyundia/ KIA? Are they good? Any problems?

Great thanks for the replies. Any experience with the Hyundia/Kia mills?

Ok great, thanks for the responses.

Simple queation. I'm trying to help out our TM-1 operator. He wants to be able to program a operation using the Intuitive Programing System and cut and paste that into another program. I need a...

Thanks for the response. We have been quoted $90,000 CAD for the SKT210Y so it's not that far off. I will look into the MORI's

As similar to my other post we are also looking at another CNC Lathe. We are considering the following models:

SKT210Y/SY
SKT25

They both come with the Fanuc 18iTB control

We were not...

Does anybody have any expeience with either of these Hyundai/KIA VX400-500. We currently have a HAAS VF1 and are thinking of adding a VF2 but are considering different machines as well. We are quite...

Does anybody have any experience with the Doosan REVO4020? We have a HAAS VF1 right now and we are thnking of buying a new VF2. We have the chance to buy a 2006 Doosan with a Fanuc OiMB Control for...

I'm wondering what needs to be done after moving a Haas VF1 machining center. I know it needs to be leveled, but is it as easy as throwing a precision level on the table. Or is there more too it. Is...
