I have a straddle knuler that sits well below my turning tools on the change. I need to make the dia on the prep page larger then the 2.0 value the machine currently allows. Anyone knows how to...

New to the swiss side of the house. I see parts are generally very small, so high rpms. Im used to the mill side of the house. If I have a 14k spindle, Im going to use it. We currently have Citizen...

Esprit as simulation built in. You will have to define stock. But it will show tools, toolpath, and finished product when finished

nevermind, just learned the B axis is a indexer and not capable of feed.

I have a SH-500 HMC. For some reason I am unable to rotate the rotary B axis in a feed rate, only rapid. I thought it would be a simple G91 G01 F200. B720. but no luck. Im sure Im missing something...

Ok I came from a Haas background. My new job has me programming HX400G, and some other mill-turn machines. Saying this, I got used to Haas and the ability to start at anytime during a program easily....

Was not sure where to post this so I figured here where everyone works in a shop. I currently work in a good shop, the hours are 7-430 M-F, its heated/AC, and we have 4 Haas machines and CAM. I enjoy...

Interesting. I can count 4 shops in a 20mile radius that use esprit, including ours. I learned CAM on mastercam in school and didn't find it difficult to learn esprit at all. This is also with a 3...

Once you learn the software, 2D programming in Esprit is just as fast (or faster with the development of different technologies) then any other programs. What I like most is its plain and clean. No...

We recently picked up a VF2-SS, before we only had 7.5k spindles. I have throwin in one of our non balanced tool holders and run it at 10 and 12k and can immediately hear the difference. We picked up...

From my experience, they are both equally priced. This is 3 axis Milling prices, no lathe, or 5 axis. Esprit is supposed to be superior the more complex you get. It basically comes down to what you...

Our experience with Derlin has been to pre anneal even though the manufacturer says the stock has gone through their process. Never have we post annealed before finishing operations. With our...

We ordered two blocks from our local supplier. Quadrant who actually makes it is right down the road. We have to use the material for it properties. Most of the machines we build are food processing...

Tasked with some some large work out of plastic. First series of parts were Delrin (well some copolymer acetal that our materials guy ordered) They were about 40x20x1 after finished, and had bolt...

I somewhat of a new machinist, only been at it for about 3 years. Ive had the chance to machine various materials, etc. My current job at the moment (soon) does not have any CAM, so take that in to...
