I had a similar issue, and turned out to be the percent symbol at the beginning of the code used in networking messed up the file when using the emulator or disk drive. Erasing this fixed it. Also...

I am trying to grind some countersinks (more of a small relief approx. 1/16" deep) on top of some 1/4" holes in a very hard material. I have tried every insert known to man, carbide spot drills and...

just waiting on some "different" endmills more suited for harder materials to show, so I can try them out. I really hope I don't have to grind these. Also there is an small area without the...

No i have never tried these, i will look into it, thanks

A kennametal harvi grade 633 5/8 dia. DOC was 1" WOC i tried .090and .040, 125sfm and .002"/tooth feed. I did try speeds/feeds up and down while it was running up and down 100% . Lots of squealing...

The endmill dulled very quickly and i was only able to remove material 1" along the width. The part is 7" wide. That is another issue i would need 3.5" depth of cut, i could cut in increments of...

yes, it will just fit. I will find a suitable end mill and give it a shot. heres hoping.

Does anyone know of a good tool for cutting hardened stainless with a Rc of 52? I have some dies that have a 24"ID that need about 1/8" taken off. Since its a die there are also a thousand through...

That works great, never used that before, thank you

I came across a unique job that requires some spot drilling inside of a ring. I want to use our vertical mill with 4th axis for this, as the holes are radially spaced around the ring. The only issue...

What is the proper torque for a Cat-40 milling chuck? Ive found ranges from 30 all the way to 150ft/lb, but can't find the actual number for the Sowa milling chuck I have. An ER 40 is 130ft/lb so I...

its a milltronics 7200. my code outputs a V=initial depth Q=subsequent peck U= retract amount, and D= peck clearance. All the values in the code are defaulting to .1" as that's what is in the greyed...

Specifically g73. I cant enter values for subsequent peck, peck clearance and retract amount as they are greyed out. the post outputs the default values. Is there a way to turn these on?

believe it or not I ended up getting the post from Milltronics, Its good for a large amount of milltronics mills up to and including 4 axis. Mastercam sent me a new post as well that was so far off...

D the same as Q being an issue? or D the same as U? Thanks for your help

308468 awesome thanks, I never knew exactly what the d and u value did besides one of them was the retract amount. I usually ran these at the same value, as they defaulted this way. I guess I should...

in Mastercam when I create a g73 chip break operation I only get the option to enter "first peck" and all others "subsequent peck", "peck clearance", "retract amount", "dwell", and "shift" are all...

I have a plate in which I need to cut multiple radial grooves in. I would like to cut the groove helically in 1/8" increments down to 1/2" deep. This is probably extremely simple but I can't figure...

We recently acquired an 2001 mb20 that we now have up and running. This machine has 2 oil ports (cups) on the head and a grease nipple. I cant find any maintenance procedures on this machine. Do I...

I'm running X6 soon to run X8 when I get my new computer fired up. Anyways my question is, is there a way to visually see g83 and g73 cycles in X8? in X6 you don't get to see the peck increments or...

I have a project which I need to tap 5mm holes and 6mm holes in a .375" pc of 416ss key. I normally don't work with this grade, or anything this small for that matter. This will be a production run...

ok found the option under depth cuts, last place i looked. Anyways i can use a flat endmill and taper the wall and obviously there are steps. I want to try a ballmill, but in verify it if say i...

I have some square blocks 3x3. I need to cut a 2x2 pocket in the center but have the walls taper out instead of 90 degrees. I have X6 mill level 1 and a 3 axis miller. Is this kinda cut possible? I...

Thanks for all the help. I will try and learn both ways. I mainly use only 2.5D prgms from ACAD wire frame drawings so i don't have much practice moving WCS's around, but i should learn. I have...

nevermind though i had it, but didn't work

I am using Mastercam X6 and was wondering how to repeat a set of toolpaths in a g55 location or multiple g5x's. I have a large 84" table and multiple vices and would like to utilize it a bit more....

that didnt wanna work either.

Tech support took over and fixed it remotely, it took some time and they were pretty deep into it before they got it. Apparently its happened to a few people before

I'm running at the highest resolution right now, so things only get bigger from there. If i minimize mcam i can grab the blue bar and shrink the entire window, but not just the operations manager. My...

Ya, that bar is off the screen though. if i try and drag the whole thing over by the top bar when i let go it just snaps back. Gave up for the night, a re-boot didn't help either
