I worked at a tool and mold shop years ago doing a lot of prototyping, 1&2 piece runs. I had never used FeatureCAM before always MasterCAM. It took a little bit to get in the swing of things to...

If you send me a email u will give you a sample on how i made my post rapid X down to .100 from stock od.

I am trying to get the program to read out in a positive value. Tool clearances values need to be in negative.

Do you still need help? There is a host of things that I would change to make both programs safer. If you could send a pic or print of what you are trying to make I could give a few pointers.

Fanuc Rhino, it is a self contained teaching cnc lathe. They make several sizes too.


Janos

No prob.

I see that this is an old post. I was just wandering thru and saw it. Did you figure it out or do you still need help?

the access Geometric provide is a cut down version, a freebie, it does state in the SolidWorks and CAMWorks Solids Pre requisites that it requires "Microsoft Office" which...

The number that CW give it in milling is not available in turning. The number it is in line is what it is. As for now I am concentrating on getting turning up and going. We got the Microsoft...

These do not give specific enough questions to how to PROPERLY set up a database.

I have an ENORMOUS tool crib in which I need to get input 3,000+ items. All tools and holders have a item...

Usually I don't like using the same tool radius that is required in the corner because it will have too much engagement and will leave a lot of chatter. If the only tool you have to work with is the...

Run the part with G54 and edit the post to go to machine zero (G53) in the tool change. That way it doesnt matter what work coordinate you are in.

Oh, delrin is great stuff for milling but stringy when drilling or turning.

Correction: stub your tools to .050 more than the max depth.


Janos

If the .250 em is the only thing you have, stub up the shank to 2.05 sticking out of the holder. Use helix entry at 3 deg. Around 1500 rpm and 3 ipm. Plunge peck the corners with .010 per peck.

...

Well for starters, what kind of material? What is the corner radius desired in the sides and floor?

First, I would use a pre drill for entry and to aide in cleaning out the corners. Using a...

After hitting "send" I realized that I won't be able to respond to questions until thursday since I am going out of country. So I will answer any replies then.

Hey guys,
Is there a standard "flow chart" for the process of programming a part? I got something like one from the support guys but it seem lengthy. As I sat in the training class and crammed...

Every time I try to use 4th axis and set it up manually it goes crazy. Kinda like what your describing. Try using AFR, select only the sides then make sure the tool is on the proper axis and...

could you post a screen shot of what your trying to do. Sorry, but I read your post 2-3 times and just can't get it. Thanks Janos

Nevermind my last post! It is MUCH easier than editing a post. If you go to the top of the page in the options tab, go down to the turning input mode, select the diametric input and TADAA!!

What kind of machines do you have. I might have a post from where I used to work that you could tweak.

Are you still needing a post? Or a bit of editing of the on you have?

Janos

What seems to be the problem? M98 I believe is used with a canned cycle to tell it to return to the rapid plane after the "Hole" is done. PM me if you want. I may be able to do something?

That too is another way. I typically work from a solid model which has all the geometry in it. Normally I only have to use "Simple" if I want to change the way FeatureCAM does a 4th axis slot. ...

If you open up the "Milling" tab in the groove properties you can change the Depth of cut and anything else related to this feature. BUT.... this only changes this item. If you want to make...

If you are using the groove feature, open the dialog box in the left column. Select the "strategy tab" and click the box marked "reverse cut" to reverse the direction. Also if you have more than one...

As the title would imply, I am in need of a post for Haas mill with 4th axis. Any help would be appreciated.

Being this is a mill/turn part I'm a bit out of my element, but I'll give it a try. I have had a similar problem, I used a radial finishing cut with a 1" 3fl index mill. I gave the tool path a...

I just got done with four days of training which included mill, turn, turn/mill and wire. Looking back on what I was doing, I can say I was doing most everything the hard way. There was a new hire...
