Mr Magoo - the mathematics involved in a 5 axis post are, without a doubt, going to be held as "Proprietary" even though they are public domain. This is not easy to develop, so no-one wants their...

toonz - If you really want to use that tool, move the start point of the chain, you will get your leadin/out moves.

If you want to ramp in to the cut, that should be your lead in strategy - I...

Cheap too!

I'll subscribe for at least a few months to "Brush Up" on the things I don't get to use very often. Maybe I'll find a few things I can implement at the shop to be more competitive or...

Yes, this is one of the good one's. IMHO

Yes, it is alot like "Lean Manufacturing". When I first started Kanban 15 years ago, we had these jobs set up on tombstones with chick quick change jaws. We could set up and run jobs with very little...

I don't mean to put these tutorials down, but I just don't think they are even on the same level as streaming teacher or services four automation, and such as you can get from a dealer.

Kanban is a delivery method where we get an order for the year in advance, with a delivery schedule, and an agreement to keep so many parts in-stock at all times "ready to ship on a moments notice".

Doing good Toby. Time to bring our overflow back in-house. Daico Industries screwed us pretty good. At least we are one of the few shops still working. While other shops are closing their doors, we...

Whoa......That caminstructor tutorial is #4 of the advanced tutorials?

No wonder they are cheaper than streaming teacher... eg. Mastercam for dummies

I don't think the teacher even knows how to...

tstom is right........the mouse cursor has to be over the graphics window or Mastercam thinks you are addressing the ops manager.

as for SuperMan's comment on delete......Set autosave to save...

Daz1973 --- Can you post some sample code that works?

Maybe I can get you cutting some chips.

I'm sure I can find something close for the mill ... not sure about the wire edm.

Matt -

I should have looked a little deeper. I would have found the "tuts".

Thanx & I can't wait for the X4 Cd.

Toby - The HSM is coming along fine.

I didn't realize it was just a new "trend" using axial chip thinning to increase MRR. Now that I understand what HSM is, I realize I have been doing this for...

ROFLMAO..........I still don't see any free tutorials......or tutorials.

Pyramid - If you are buyimg X3 your reseller will probably give you this for free. There are too many structural changes for me to find time to do. I just took on 6 more 3500pc. jobs and I have to...

Mike that is exactly what I needed to make the move from 9 to X2.

The price is fair, and he should be up to speed in a week.

Thanx

OOPS OPERATOR ERROR - SRY "Pyramid"

Pyramid - I have a first draft for you. This should be close to what you are looking for. I left the G28 U0 W0 in for a home move. If your machine can use this, you will only have to edit the G50 for...

Pyramid: I need to know what letters are assigned to what for canned cycles. Check out this post and let me know if they are coming out right.

KEN:
I don't mean to scare you away from the forum That is not my goal.

I paid $1500.00 for a high end post a few years ago, and out of lack of wanting to "pay up" again, I learned to read...

Did you read the first post in this sub-forum???

Hang in there Pyramid............I only have 2 hrs a night to work on this, so it'll be awhile.

Let me know if you find a usable post, so I can help someone else.

Let me get a little closer,...

The way I see it X3 is version 12.......X is v10......X2 is v11......that makes X3 v12.




BTW ... GURU is my aim, not my claim

Ok, that's what I need to get started.

It doesn't look like too big of a project for me.

I'll get on it tonight after work.

Is this the output you are looking for?



N100 M9
N101 M5
N102 G0 M25
N103 M00 ( TOOL - 2 )

I don't have V7 installed any more, but I think this will work fine for you.

Back up your post first.

Then, open your postprocessor file and search for ptlchg_com or ptlchg

Add your M00 before toolchange as shown here before the M06


ptlchg_com #Tool change...

Toby:

That was just about "dead on".

My machine manual says the max feedrate is 240ipm, but I can get 393.7ipm, so 380ipm
is an ideal # for a max value. My Walter insertable with polished...

THANKS FOR THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

I guessed as much since I've never come across a "T" series control

So the code must look like this:


G00X11281Z-824
G02X7304Z0I-1989K-1989F100

Can you post some sample code for 1 tool? We can go from there..If the mods aren't too involved, I'll come up with something for you. This is for a mill right? If we are talking about a lathe post,...
