Hello,
I'm learning my way through 2017 MasterCam and 2017 MasterCam for SolidWorksPro 2017.

I'd like to see an...
Ok I'll give it a shot.
Thanks !!!

Is there ANY demonstration videos of RIGID TAPPING....
I've NOT had good luck in the past but I'm at a point where I need to be using the mill to do the tapping.....
I have a 1996 VM16
...I just ran 19 parts at 100% with out any problems!!!
The "DRILL" cycles use HIGH rapids moving from hole to hole.
this last run was second op and didn't use a drill cycle.
Now that it's done,...
YES !!!
BOB is the BEST !!!!
I am making parts again finally !!
It's just been a battle for us both to continue to fine and resolve each problem.
...and there have been a LOT of problems...
THANK YOU GUYS !!!!!!
For all the help and suggestions !!!!!!!
The Machine is now running good. I think now I'll re tune the drives once more now that they are actually clean and right now.
I've got a LOT of parts to get made that have been backed up for a while because of this machine......
Next up is Fuel Injection Throttle Body's for the Triple Cylinder Engine's
Kawasaki 1100 / 1200cc Triple Engines that I build to install in to Stand Up jet ski's
These engines come out of sit down style Kawasaki Watercraft 1100 ZXi or the STX 1100 (Actually 1051cc)

Making Parts
All is SMOOTH now....
GOT IT GOING RIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME SENSE I BOUGHT IT IN 2007.........
Make'N CHIPS !!!!!
I'll show you the problem........ X Drive Motor Tac Armature
I haven't tried to cut a square but I did cut the square fixture that the current part is being machined on.
The sides of it are pretty smooth........
Here are some pictures sense the video's wouldn't load up.
I marked the X axis and Y axis to help orientate the part now that it's out of the machine.
Also...
I cleaned the Y tac armature over...
Here is a cup of water to help SEE the vibration in the X & Y
Y having a larger Pulse / Vibration
Sorry the video recorded on the wrong plane on the ol iPhone so it's sideways. I do not know how...
I did some push pull tests.
I could pull hard and get it out 1/10 but then it would return zero.
Pushing was even less movement.
I replaced the X Cale on this machine years ago. 2007-2008
At first I was chasing a similar problem.
I didn't tidy up all the extra wire length and the green w/yellow tracer (ground) was picking up...
Is it POSSIBLE that the encoder could do this IF it's bad some how?
I have replaced an encoder before and seen the insides components of one.
IF the clear plastic wheel with the little black...
Hello again...
I just went thru the Y motor to clean out the carbon dust build up in the tac armature. It had a lot of dust in there. I just blew it out. fairly easy.
I have never seen a CLEAN...
Did the drive tuning yesterday with Balance & Sig Gain
Set to .05(1/0 ditherimg) both table moving back & forth.
Got my following errors to read .0000 X & Y (static setting)
I have been told...
Back Lash was tested:
X .001
Y .0005
Entered these numbers into the control
Linear ways I believe is what I have.
I've done the push pull test before but don't remember the numbers. It was...
CAM TOLERANCES: .0001
Yes need to machine a hole using just the conversational on the control.
My entire part is made up of arcs. MasterCam guy verified that I have complete arcs and not segments. but yes, I still need...
sorry forgot to add that
The MaSterCam is producing I & J for arcs not R\
I've analyzed the curves and they are arcs not segments. I also sent the entire folder for this part to a MasterCam...
I have a STRANGE PATTERN on the Profile Surface of a part and can not figure out WHY this is not a smooth surface.
I have been working on my two 96 & 97 VM16's for the last three winters, this is...
I ended up DELETING the "SPLINE" geometry but by then I got a part cut and the customer bailed on me and left me hanging with the bill.
moved forward.....
