    Re: 1100mx operator console wifi

    My console does not have integrated wireless. It shipped with a tiny dongle that occupies one of the USB ports at the top of the case.

    Can anyone confirm for me that you are getting 300IPM, please? I'm limited to 200 after this update.

    Thanks,

  4. Re: What are guys using for a fly cutter on MX machines?

    How funny that the only guys in the thread are from Austin?!

    Ripper mill looks pretty cool. What size are you running?
  5. What are guys using for a fly cutter on MX machines?

    Looks like a shell mill is in my future. What are guys using that have had good luck, and what should be avoided?

    Thanks,

    Re: threading issue

    Can we get a pic of the orginal insert?

    Also, on the Slant, I will program three spring passes (H3).

    Re: Tormach coolant gauge

    I hope they have something close to what you were looking for. Good news is, it ships from the US and will not be held up in customs like so many things are right now.

    Thanks @Kingjamez. The Tegara's look super nice. Have you been happy with the 60mm ones, or find that you lose too much Z?

    Yes, I got the issue resolved. The g-code was no different to the eye, but when I ran it through a g-code interpreter it was showing strange characters that I had not put into the code. ...

    No wear offsets for that tool, or the reference tool. I call T0505 as a habit, anyways.

    Re: Wear Offset vs Actual Tool X Position

    Smoke,

    I use wear offsets in the middle of a run if I'm starting to diverge from tolerance, or if I'm tweaking in a thread. If it's during setup, I will update the tool offset.

    To the best of my knowledge, and if I'm understanding what you are trying to accomplish, you would have to set the end mill up as two different tools with which ever offsets apply for the intended...

    Re: Haas TL1

    Rumor has it that they are going to make a retro-fit kit that will increase the rapids. I don't know any specifics, but I said to add me to the top of the list to buy it.

    Mike,

    With the Slant and I use the turret and a 3+1 gang setup.

    Conversational and then Fusion for anything that's more complex. Very happy with it.

    Re: Chinese BT30 Retrofit in PCNC 1100

    I don't have any specifics on availability. When I saw it, it was in the middle of a 1mil tool change test. Sorry I don't have anymore info. I'm guessing it will be available when the MX comes out.
