The post I was reading was from 11/09 has anyone had any more experience with this Green Cut fluid. It sounds almost to good to be true. I'm finding that keeping my 8 CNC smelling like roses is...

We have come to the conclusion that it is a heat treat problem, of course our out side vendor disagree's. Funny thing since we are all over them for this we have not had any bad parts. Makes you...

I'm looking to add a couple of newer used fadals to my department, however I would like 10,000 plus for spindle speed . Does anyone now when Fadal started to offer the higher speed head?

That's something that I didn't think of. I'll bring that up with the press room supervisor, see if I can have the parts maintained on a more frequent cycle. We run hundreds of thousands of these...

CTA2000, beleive me when I say that I have gone through that entire self questioning process. The thing that makes me believe it is an incorrect heat treat process, the features on the stamped part...

I'm having problems with the centerline of the holes shrinking toward each other . There is also a hole to edge dimension that is shrinking. Normally that would grow. I'm having to come up with a...

I have run into something that seems to defy common reasoning when it comes to heat treating.
I am running and ongoing production job using 1050C spring steel. On one batch of 4000 pc, the hole...

You have to hit the shift and spindle on/off button to turn the spindle on outside of a program. Don't now if your aware of that.

There is a plug on one of the boards that works the door safety. This is a factory safety. Be careful about disabling the door.

My newest CNC operator is very interested in learning Mastercam. Right now the company budget is tight for schooling. I have given him our X3 demo disk to practice at home on. Are there any resources...

I'm searching for a reputable outfit to maintain my Fadal VCM. I've used Compumachine in the past, but the VP wants me to get competitive quotes for any future work. Also, how complex a machine is...

Silver is the best for killing bacteria, but for the vast majority way to expensive. I would be interested in knowing how that works out. Side note, has anyone tried milling dry? Fluids can get to be...

Sorry for the bad grammer on my last post. I wanted to spell copper as in the metal not cooper as in a barrel maker. I really use bronze, which is 80% copper. Copper wool is very expensive and the...

I have also added some cooper wool in the path of the coolant before it gets back into the sump. Cooper kills any bacteria that the bubbler can not kill. It works really well even if your oil has...

Will a service contract come with that price? Also how well do the reseller support the software. There's nothing more aggrevating than to spend big money and not have you questions answered in a...

Thanks Neal, changed the call out and it works fine.

I'm a little confused on the syntax for calling a subprogram, is it an L or N98. I am posting an example of what i'm trying to do. Feel free to critique it. When I load it into the machine, it goes...

When I first became a supervisor I would twist myself up in knots trying to figure out how to make someone do there job or come to work. Finally my boss set me straight, you give them the tools to do...

I am looking to chain two seperate programs together into a main call program. This is mostly for operator ease. I have done this in the past on other machines, but so far I have been unable to do it...
