This has always been my issue. If I have .005 I’m still looking for the “dead nuts” size. It’s not that hard to do once you make it a habit. It can be a 20 year old Haas or a new Kern, just learn what your working with and adjust your style to make the absolute best part you can. Size, finish...

One thing about FC is it had chip thinning many years before they announced it. In FC hover the mouse on the bottom right of the widow and left click. They had loads of hidden features in there. Whirlwind, Chip thinning, auto program optimization, post add ins, so much that they don’t tell users.

Just uttering the words “close enough” at my place it’s bad bad bad. It’s that mentality that plant the seed of substandard craftsmanship.

My Fagor is very limited at best and even what I do have was on a mill with a CAM posted program. But what I seem to remember was G modal was not really modal and required on each line.

Just NOT in the CNC. Went into a shop once that was running loop M99 G1’s and before each hone they had a squirt gun with some of that honing oil with kerosene. When the regular coolant came on it was all I could do to keep from vomiting. ^^^^^ If you need a sharp edge avoid these or make...

Some of those legacy mail accounts still have us stuck in the past. Skype is still the preferred coms for Asia In order to have Skype they make you have a Hotmail account. I prefer my POP and IMAP but Microsoft is going to milk it for all it’s worth

Welcome to the group, I’m sure someone here will probably be able to help you out. I’m going to move your question to a new thread so you will get more results.

I just looked and housing cost is 16% below the national average. Florida is like TN with no state tax so that’s I nice perk. But,,, a short drive East puts you in Polk County FL and the sheriff there is the ruthless Grady Judd. I would feel quite comfortable living in his town.

Oh man. Just the short time I was there was just painful. But, not a whole lot of machine shops throwing out those numbers for employees to do sloppy work.

I got an email from a recruiter last night looking for a Featurecam programmer and thought I would pass it along. I’m pretty sure I know the shop and not many FC jobs in that area. It’s a nice shop full of large Haas VF-9 and 11’s a few smaller machines. The Owner has a sweet gig making copper...

In the past few weeks if had some calls from old clients that I vouched for Powershape and Featurecam needing post. Normally the maintenance would cover this but with all that’s going on at Autodesk (and most other Cam developers) not many are drinking the cool aid anymore. Apparently AD is back...

Hey now,,,, is there a pun intended??

The main storage wafer or whatever the correct term for it is actually a real storage device. Inside the drive is also a small micro controller that communicates with the computer its plugged into and the storage wafer. What these bastards do is reprogram this IC's to tell the victim the...

I used to do a lot of self reversing shafts and ran into this exact problem. On steep pitches with slow RPM's the spindle acted like it had lash in it. If you looked real close it seamed to stall then catch back up with itself. The thread pitch was right but the finish looked like it was formed...

The odd part of this is the drive is a 64gb and has blistering read/write speeds and I would have been quite happy dropping $10 for a 64gb and leave a positive review. Now, Because of Lazada's escrow policy the seller has three options. Pay for return shipping and issue refund (Chinese don't...
