  2. Re: Solidworks CAM/CAMWorks showing the vise to see collision

    Are you programming in assembly mode? If not you need to program in assembly mode and bring the vise model in and then place your part and program from there.

    Re: HAAS P-Cool

    Positive its coming from the P-Cool (programmable coolant) as in my initial post I stated "I took the cover off and along with the wiring there's a small 1/8" tube blowing air non stop."

    Your default machine might be Metric in the TechDB. Set up a default machine in Inches.

  19. Re: loading tools using their pocket number in G Code on Haas CNC mill

    What are trying to accomplish? The pocket #'s are random. T1 could start in P1 but once you start changing tools it will change pocket numbers. I don't believe there is any way to utilize a P# in a...
