OK thanks for the feedback I will consider a 2 flute EM next time. I tried a conventional tool path and still got chatter. I use MasterCam for programming, maybe I'll try a helix bore approach...

I'm finish machining a 1/4 Radius in an ID of a 6061 Alum part that has been roughed with a 3/4 EM. The total depth of the pocket is 2 1/2 inches. I typically have a chatter problem with deep pockets...
Hey Matt, thanks alot! I'll give it a try
Cheers back at ya

My company has a number of HAAS VMC's mostly 5 yrs old. I have a question about a contour toolpath that has a jerky motion, it appears to be making point to point moves. I have seen the same behavior...
OK, thanks for your time. I am having measured sucess with help from one of the other guys here.
Yeah, I agree about the age of the program, but the sheet metal designers at my company use Cadkey and I feel like we should all be using the same prog to generate drawings. Talk about an old prog....
I am new to CadKey 19. I need to be able to import a .STP file in metric, and generate a professional looking 4 view(with iso view) dimensioned drawing, in inches using my companies B size sheet...
I'm trying to learn KC8. I have a question about generating solids. The quick start tutorial says To Create a Block "Click Create>Primitive Solid>Block."
I don't see Primitive Solid>Block from the...
OK. I'll check out the links and search you used and see what comes up.
thanks
A search on the CNCZone website takes me to sites to buy plates. I will be making them in-house and need some insights into their manufacture.
I'm tasked with designing vacccum plates for holding down thin aluminum plate on a CNC mill. Is there a book or website that explains how to design such a workholding device?
I'm pretty sure I downloaded Verisurf from their website. Maybe reinstall it?
Hey cadcam, in one of your posts you mention the Verisurf Hole axis tool. I have downloaded it and there is an icon on the toolbar. When I try to open any of the tools, Mastercam locks up and...
Wow you're good, sometimes I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time lol. I have had some contact with Dan McGourty at Sierra with positive results....mostly post issues. I didn't know Jerry,...
cadcam, thanks for the heads-up about the user group. If you could keep me informed as to the next one I would appreciate it and set aside time to attend. Actually my local reseller is Sierra CAD/CAM...
I live in the bay area of Calif...San Jose. Do you know of any user groups in this area. Are you located here?
I was able to post with a default 4 axis hmc post, the output is virtually the same as you have.
Thanks alot guys
How do I get the MPMASTER_MATSUURA-PALLETPOOL post?
That .nc file looks good, but I don't have the same post you do. Maybe consult my reseller?
I just unzipped test cadcam, and that multi axis drill op is NEAT. So you created the angled lines and chained those? Will I be able to post the B moves with a default 4 axis post?
Thanks alot for...
I think you are right that I will have to assign a separate plane to each hole, with the corresponding operations to produce the desired angles normal to each hole.
thanks
I'm trying to drill holes on the flange of a part that is on a radius and the holes are not at equal angles. The part will be run on a horizontal mill. See attached .zip file to see what I am trying...
OK,SMan I'll give it a try.
thanks
How do you delete all chains in the chain manager dialog, when there are a lot of them. Im using X6. It seems you can only select/delete one item at a time?
thanks
Hey guys, thanks for the info
How do I setup the dialog boxes in X6 to drill/spotdrill from Z0 to an island that is .500 deeper, to drop to within .1 of the deeper hole without the drill cutting air?
What's the best approach to programming for multiple vices in X6, G54,G55,etc?
Hey thanks for all the feedback, our machines do not have thru the spindle coolant. I am thinking about pilot drilling with a jobber length drill first, then pecking with the long drill and not...
Jackman, I have that add on installed, the setup sheet looks ok, how do you get rid of the logo, and it is customizable?
Jackman, I agree with you about investing the time and effort to edit posts. The X+ file you mentioned is the one from eMastercam?
