If you still have a copy of the older MC running on a comp it will convert to DXF or DWG or any of several different formats.

How can I edit out all the tools in the tool files that I've created over the years that were wrong or unusable? Can I just call up each tool individually and delete or is there a better way? So far...
Little slow on responding to my own post.....
I'm trying to run a chamfer around a triangular window cut into a round disk with a radiused surface. Picture a large shallow bowl upside down. I've...
Anyone know if other boring tool blocks will fit the Haas ST-30 BOT turret? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Okuma or Mori blocks may interchange.
Thx

Thanks for all the response.
For what it's worth, apparently the internals for Haas gearboxes are made by fairies in the Black Forest. Nobody has parts or info as to where to get anything but they...
Have a 2006 SL-40 lathe with a BAD noise in the spindle gearbox. Anybody pulled one of these or have any experience with them? I was quoted $15,000 for r&r with rebuilt unit so we're gonna give it a...
I have an SL-40 making some nasty noises in the spindle area and has a hydraulic leak. I cannot find any kind of exploded view of the spindle assembly anywhere. I have maintenance CD's and PDFs but...
I'm using old v9.1 and after 200 years of using it I still can't figure out how to project a toolpath consistently. Even simple engraving is frustrating but I really need to figure out how to project...
It's a 40 year old control and been reliable as hell. Now it will shut down mid run. It's intermittent and will usually display gibberish on screen or just go black. It did pop up a 920 error the...
HAAS ST-30. I use the G71/G72 cycles extensively but can't figure out how to stop the cycle from taking basically a finish smoothing(?) cut with finish allowance after roughing the form. In my older...
Hey, Loops (Big Bang reference)
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was going to try when I get around to it. I've had to adjust a few settings for V9.1 to work well on Win7 but not bad overall. The...
My screen locks up in MC v9.1 after I let it sit open for a while. I guess it's relative to either the sleep or screen saver but haven't had much time to play with it. When I come back to the comp...
I found the solution for this particular problem. Under "All Programs" in the Start menu click on the MasterCam folder. Select "CNC Reg". In the window that pops up select the Lathe, Mill or whatever...
Yeah, that's what was wrong w mine too. The umbrella is a little saggy and I had to drill out the screws that held the umbrella to the housing when I rebuilt the thing so some of the holes were on...
I've rebuilt the tool carousel on our old VF-1 machine. Cleaned and powder coated, replaced most fasteners with stainless, new bearings, etc. I put in a new 10-32 screw and spacer for the T1 position...
I've gotten used to the "New" (to me) style of grid programming now, even using the tool probe. What I did find was when using the G50 programming style I tried initially it would put a strange...
I have this drive retrofit on an old Hurco KMB-1 machine and I can find zero information on the thing.
The machine had been difficult to get running again after setting for several years. I had it...
Thx Giz
Most of my chips are broken up fine but I take a thin finish cut to make it easier for the polishers, this is where most of my stringers come from and I can't break those fer nuttin. The...
Unless there's something missing from my belt conveyor this thing is almost a complete waste of time. I run aluminum wheel centers and remove quite a bit of material from some larger ones. This...
I have a 1980 Kitaco CNC lathe with the 6tb control. It's been a pretty good old beast in general but it is 37 years old.
I'm having a finish problem that seems to be in the X axis. I do mostly face...
I have operators manuals for Yasnac 2000G both with and without CRT in .PDF format.
pmail me your email addy if interested.

Sorry, I thot I had responded to your post some time back...
This has been upgraded(?) with a French 3 axis CNC control and the machine heavily modified for use as a spinning machine. The original...
I have a Given GH32 lathe I need some info on. I can't find anything online and have no idea who made these for Given. Given was a machinery dealer many years ago.

I had posted this, worded differently, some time back and didn't get any solutions so I'll try again.
Used ST-30;
Under load I get a LOUD, hi-pitched whine from the spindle. I have to plug my ears...
OK, solved part of the problem. We bought this machine used and it is missing a part here and there. In this instance it was the "foot" or support for the conveyor. The conveyor wasn't supported and...
It would seem to be a problem relative to the monitor. It works fine on my Win7 machine with the old 17" monitor. I have MC9.1 installed on 2 comps with 21" monitors 1920x1080, both different brands...
That's what I did and the .jpg I posted is what I get but still no save.
Is there anything special I need to do to be able to pull out the conveyor on this ST-30? It looks like there might be some sheet metal that would interfere pulling it out but I can't tell. I have no...
It wouldn't let me do it. I took a screen shot of what happens when I type anything into either field.

That just moves the window, I can do that anytime. I can't increase the size of the window that's the problem. It seems to be an issue trying to run old DOS based MC in Win7 even in compatibility...
