I am glad I wasn't the only who didn't agree with the comments about being a troll. I get that people on here worked hard for the info and some have done a lot of research but my point was if you...

Are you kidding me? Give the kid a break if you don't want to help him then leave it be but bashing him for asking a question is ridiculous. Based off your other posts it seems like your the troll...

or you can take everything literally. That was more suggesting that you dont give certian people special treatment like family. But if your brother walks in 30 min late everyday and he's been warned,...

have you cut one? Dont base your surface finish off the image in verify

i don't work in lathes any more and when i did we used only iscar and kennametal so i can't help there. Good luck

my suggestion is to get a rep from a reputable insert company is to talk to you and recommend the right inserts, feeds and speeds. You wont regret it especially if you get free sample inserts

im not a manager however i grew up under the roof of one of the best managers around. here is a list of a few things that will set you above the rest:

* Be clear about your expectations of your...

this piece is cut out of billet? if so thats probably what you'll have to do

can you give some more info? what is it for? Tolerance? material? Is it a high production or one off? All of these may help make a more informed recommendation

also if you look in your operation parameters you can try using arc filtering

My control has a built in tangency factor that i can adjust. This smooths out rough splines for me. Maybe you have something similar.

first i have to ask why did you post this question if you're going to doubt every answer you recieve? Second if it has to be strong and has to last for 5 yrs then why don't you look into carbon fiber...

One year in a mostly lathe shop making parts for aftermarket automotive as operator and now 5 years in business aviation doing anything from programming and design engineering

its only showing the actual toolpath. Your tool diameter is in the parameters of the operation. If you want to see your tool you can verify and watch a simulated cut or backplot over your geometry....

we use Catia V5 r19 to design luxary interiors for private jets and machine using Mastercam x4 and a Thermwood Router

25 and counting

I started out right out of my freshman yr of college working at a small shop that made parts for the automotive industry. I ran three different lathes and and did all the material cutting on 1st...

which do you want? waterjet, laser or plasma?

try climb cut to see if that takes the heat out of the tool

if you could translate this into english someone will be able to help. Focus on not missing words and punctuation

Im in exactly the same situation as you with being self taught and everything. I always try to keep the programs as simple and short as possible as long as i get a good finish. If i was programing...

What material is this out of? I have to ask why do you want to machine it that way vs. just getting the correct roundover.The control memory is not the reason it is cutting slow. It is the...

go to the mastercam website and it has all the new stuff on there. My rep says X5 is due this fall so any time now hopefully

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't X5 going to have a machine simulation in it? If so how capable is it and is it an addition we have to pay for or is it on the X5 install disk?

I think you should stay through school and then make your move. You may ask your boss how that five yr plan is going and see what he says. Have you asked for a raise? If you haven't tried you should....

i learned a valuable lesson on my first day of my current job. That is NEVER SELL YOURSELF SHORT!!!!!! I accepted his offer of $11 and hr when i wanted $13 because i was young and nieve. i was still...

While commenting on one problem, you point out another. Old timers that think young guys are unskilled and incapable of doing your job. While i agree that there is nothing a piece of paper can give...

check out boston gear and atlanta drive systems. They make plastic gears and may be able to help

I've been running mastercam in windows 7 for a few months and have no such problem. In fact it was an improvement over vista business. does it throw and error message before it closes?

thanks that will work perfect
