Hello all,

We primarily machine 17-4 Stainless and our Haas VMC's are not holding reliable tolerances (2014 VF2, 2017 VF4). We've been speaking with some other machine builders and the Kitamura...

You make some good points. Appreciate it!

I figured with fixtures and vises--the work pieces would never really need to be reached at the lowest point on the table. The 3 years we've had our current VF2 (regular table), we've never machined...

Yes, does make sense. Thank you, mulder_25!

Has anyone used / have experience with the Haas option: Extended Z-Axis Clearance; 3.0" additional clearance? We are about to purchase a new Haas and want to know if there are any downsides to the...

Picking up a new Haas VF4 soon and need to equip it. Anyone have experience with Maritool toolholders and collet chucks vs Techniks? They appear to be around the same price points.

ONLY 1.5 years old and still under extended manufacturer warranty!

100% working and in excellent condition! 1st and only owner! Bought new 1 ?...

Why is it that sometimes I can edit the stock profile (i.e. add additional size to x, y, z min and max) but then other times it does not allow me any options other than to change the name, color or...

If you're referring to the side of the profile/slot you want your endmill to run down--i.e. make the directional arrows flip to the other side, it's just a matter of Left Clicking the other side of...

It looks like the datum override will only take a number (no letters or it errors out). On my Haas, beyond the G54-G59, Haas has additional offsets "G154 P1, G154 P2, etc"... is there a way to...

Awesome! Did not even notice it there before. Thanks, Timf!

Is there any way to set a desired work offset for a particular cycle? For instance, I want to set a cycle to use G57 work offset, however, Edgecam defaults to G54 unless I perform an Index...

Trying to program a rotary feature but Edgecam needs the CPL to wrap EXACTLY around the Z-Axis --- problem is that my Inventor models when imported into Edgecam arrive a little off dead center (see...

Instead of splitting the tool path; have you tried projecting the geometry and using that projected line as the profiling path? You can also create a boundary to keep the tool from cutting anywhere...

Thanks so much, Jsanders. That was exactly the issue! I assumed that importing parts from Autodesk Inventor would line up center points accurately with Edgecam but the Verify Entity showed my X...

I'm trying to define a rotary mill feature but no matter how I align the Z-Axis, I receive this error message (see image). I've tried every which way. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Hey guys/gals,

So after about a year of cutting my teeth prototyping on a new Tormach 1100 mill, I'm ready to jump to the next level. Not to say there's anything wrong with it, it's helped me...

Thank you, Ray. But when I try to view their troubleshooting guide (looks like a PDF), their site times out. I think they're having issues with their site...

Does anyone know what error code 26 on the VFD is? My spindle stopped powering up all a sudden tonight; even in manual mode. Have gone through the manual and no mention of error code 26. Tormach...

Trying to perform my first threadmill and getting the following message in the generated NC code. "THREAD MILL CYCLE FORMAT NOT SET UP"... any ideas what this message means?

Hello all,

I'm trying to cut a t-slot using a t-slot milling tool but cannot for the life of me figure out (or find any help anywhere) on how to perform this with Edgecam. I heard this can be...
