So if the G97 is the "safety line" set at 3600, what is the G50 "maximum speed"? Do they do the same thing?

Can someone explain the need/advantage for the use of the G97, G50, G96 that the previous programmer placed at the beginning of each of his programs. I don't fully understand what he was doing and...

Are you talking about the tolerance on the cad side? Or the cam side? Or in the optional fields that you fill in as you are creating the tool path?

I am having trouble with a poor finish when I generate a tool path from a solid works model. I can send the solid works model to anyone who can help.

settings are:
planer tool path

thank you for the tool post grinder link. I did not see a price or dealer information. Ar you a dealer?

I found this great F&S calculator. This one is simple to use, just find the material that you are machining and fill in your cutter info:

sorry, thought the lathe and mills were both covered in the same place

I signed up, thanks

they told me level two tech support is what I needed = $399 includes one hour training

Why you have to merge the tool, then create the tool path

i am in the los angeles area, but I can get help by phone.

I just started a new job and I need to learn how to program for a lathe (Haas TM). I do mill programing well but the lathe section of BC version 21 has me confused. BC wants $300 for a one hour of...
