I'm going to try updating the software. They can update for free as long as I stay with the same primary version.

I wasn't sure how to title this. What happens is when I use cutter comp and apply a tool offset while machining a pocket the mill just stops moving when it reaches that portion of the code. The...

My brass wipers were worn, which allowed the coolant past them. Easy fix.

Thinking about selling one of my Haas vert. Machining centers. How can I find out what it's worth?

I love this. Have considered an android version?

What is the best way to find the value of a machine? Thinking about selling one of my Haas vert. mills.

I'm getting a lot of way lube in my coolant. Is there perhaps a drain from the x axes in the table that might be clogged?

You don't need shielded cable. I've been doing this for years with standard cable and it works great!

Anybody ever try Crystal Clean Aqua Filtration Service?

They say they remove emulsified oil from your coolant, but it is a service. They install a unit and do the servicing of it.

Check out the...

I run Haas machines. I called this company today and the equipment they sell is not what I thought it was.

My issue is the tramp oil gets mixed into my coolant so it doesn't skim off. Coolant just...

Has anybody used a tramp oil filter to extract the tramp oil from your coolant?

I was looking at this product as a possible cure to our never ending tramp oil emulsification issues in our cnc...

I hate dealing with flood coolant and the disposal issues that go along with it. I checked out the fogbuster website. They sure charge a lot for them. What do you guys use for coolant in them?

How is the fogbuster for aluminum milling and form tapping?

What about the smoke from the spray hitting the hot chips?

You are breathing the mist in any of those applications. I hate that. You know it can't be good to breath it in.

Anybody using Blaser BC935 coolant? Thoughts?

How is it at rejecting tramp oil?

Forget the STEP. Gibbs doesn't read it unless you purchase the very expensive option to do so. That import option handles ProE and several others, but I don't need that.

One of the things that...

Is there a free tool for that?

Due to financial issues, my Gibbs (solids import) is not up to date. I have a need (occasionally) to convert Solidworks files into something my Gibbs version can read. Are there any free conversion...

So not using a micro drop unit? Can't see this working on aluminum, or tapping.

How is it for tramp oil rejection?

Thought it was a semi-synthetic. The literature says it works with hard water, but of course they all want you believe their coolant is the answer in all situations.

I want to combine three posted files (NC files) into one and then change the offsets in two of them to G55 & G56. I'm not good at code. What do I need to watch out for?

I get a lot of coolant that passes through the machine base and out the drain hose in the back. Is there a good way to stop this? I tried putting a sheet of plastic that runs from the top of the...

What type of coolant are you using? Also, I believe you need to run these off compressed air, correct? I don't want to leave the compressor on.

Anybody using one of these? I want a better solution to tramp oil then a standard oil skimmer provides.

Old thread, but I never read the end result about the Skimerator. I'm looking at maybe getting one too.

Never ending story I'm sure, but I'm thinking about switching coolants. CNC milling mostly aluminum and plastics.

I get a fair amount of tramp oil, but my coolant is suppose to reject it, or so...

Why did you buy Featurecam and does it work as you thought it would, or should?
What does it do well and what could it do better? What type of work are you doing (prototype, production, 3d, etc).
