how do we go about using cutter comp? G41 and G42 and if someone could put up a sample program that would be great!

@ jrmach... yeah. that's what im doing. you go to upper left and click on the manila folder for open file. then, once you select the directory where your file is stored you either have to open...

@ jrmach, its not any particular file. its when you go to the file type selection when you go to open a file. the default is the bobcad file. then, when you select the format to be opened as a...

weve had bobcad for approx. 4 years now. we started with V23, then we got a copy of V24 and most recently V25. although, we havenst started using V25 yet as it wants to you put in stock geometry...

im considering adding a new doosan dnm 400 to our shop. we currently have a haas st-10 and a haas vf3. i was originally gonna go with another haas but at the urging of one of my guys i decided to...

we have an st10 we bought new a year ago. we optioned it out but didnt do any live tooling. now, were wishing we had. can we add live tooling as a field install item or only a new machine build?

what we do on ours is run a subprogram. so, with your m99 command at the end of your regular program you then send that program to the memory or it actually should be in there anyways unless youre...

ok. ill look into that as well. what i tried (which worked) was clicking on the anti-analiasing? (spelling) button and everything stayed put but looked funny. but it appears as though i can at...

our computer had a motherboard go out last week so i figured it would be best to just get a new pc as the current one was about 4 years old. so, we reinstalled autocad and bobcad etc... now, when i...

i just bought a brand new st-10 and is actually being delivered today. my tooling guy that i deal with is telling me i shouldnt use an actual tap on this lathe and that i would be better to single...

and im not opposed to that at all. i originally thought haas as i figured it was better to have the same manufacturer in my shop for service repair and ease of learning to run the machine. but then...

i am looking to add a turning center to our shop and was originally looking for a haas as we have had great success with our haas mill. when asking around with some machinists the general thought...

hey brian! you wanna sell your L16? haha!

i dont know about a gang lathe type deal. ill look into that.

i have no experience with a swiss machine. trust me... im not naive. i am certain of a learning curve. hopefully not a year though! lol. as far as other work in the shop, i dont have any that we...

first off... im pretty impressed that youre making that **** on a harbor freight deal! good for you man. ive been in business for 7 years and still dont have a nice vertical band saw. but i gotta...

looking for some input here... i am working on a PO for a company that would require me to purchase a swiss machine or a hydramat (which is waaaaay outta my price range). the part is fairly...

i guess i have a two part question...

i have a 95 vf3. how many inches per minute will it cut? or is it different for each machine as some may have been built with this option or that etc...

what all is involved with getting iso certified? benefits etc...

this is probably the wrong section but i ended up with a large lot of bt 40 tooling. i picked out what i wanted and ive got the rest on ebay as of now. there are like 35 tool holders total and some...

so, im looking at a 95 turning center. the one set back is that its a siemens controller not a fanuc. is that really a set back?

i am planning on tapping (4) 3/4-16 holes 2" deep in 1018 steel. i have some high quality thread form taps that i had made. should i use a tapping fluid on these or just use my normal coolant? the...

i just picked up a new ingersoll rand air compressor (i had one but made a deal with a buddy as it was WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more air than i needed so, i sold my 10hp 120 IR in favor of a smaller one...)
...

Well, as of right now I'm only looking at putting 1-1/2" bar 4130 through there and maybe par lengths are going to be maybe 3" max. As of now. Now, there's obviously the possibility of doing larger...

so, ive been thinking about adding an sl-10 to my shop and ive found a couple of really good deals on 2 different machines (used) but then i saw that donkey hotey said in another thread to get an...

i have a friend that has both a 1988 puma 6 and a 1988 puma 10. the puma 6 runs just fine and the 10 needs a new motor. what would be a good price for either of these machines? obviously i could...

Sorry. I guess that's important. It's on a mill. I'm machining a bore for a brake caliper and going to put an o ring inside the bore instead of in the piston. I've thought about just using a keyway...

I am needing to cut an inside square o-ring. I haven't really researched it yet as far as tooling or how to program it. I'm just curious if anyone else has done this and if so what type of tooling...

sorry. im still here. ive just been really busy. yes. i have the rigid tap parameter on on the haas. i forget what the number is but when i first started having issues with trying to use bobcad...

i absolutely love people that get on these forum boards and tell people how dumb they are or that they have no business asking for rfq's because they dont have a good drawing etc... (which certain...
