Its OK, I opened it in Backplot and took a look at it ( not mastercam backplot a separate program ) , The spring loaded tool may work for some stuff but the derby covers that I had to do needed way...

Sorry I couldn't help but having a peek at it :) nice work , took me a bit to figure out what it said ... I can only look at the NC file I have x5 so any newer file won't do , I would like to give...

It has only been a year and a half for me too , however the best thing since sliced bread !! I am very fortunate to have anytime access to a friends Fadal ( hehe I am the only one in that shop that...

Hahaha .. funny , David and I just cut a bunch of Derby covers too ( his project ) and he was facing the same issue :) . Yes there are tutorials there is a book for master cam that comes with a...

David is that you? Chuck showed you ? If you are not David .. sorry , you can in mastercam create your geometry 'above' your part and then 'project' it onto the solid.

Thanks for the in-depth citation of the rule book , but as I said OSHA has absolutely no jurisdiction here and I like it that way :D , this is just for my own convenience when I do test setups , I...

Sorry I misunderstood .

Good that this thread popped up again, as I stated earlier ,I am having similar issues and week before last it got really bad. Called Fadal and they suggested to pull all boards clean connections and...

Shim it?

Instead of chain option use the window function its right below the chain option in the same prompt window. Pick the area where the fonts are , pick an approximate starting point and off you go.

Best of luck to you !

Again I hope I am not talking out of my rear :D ... on the Haas if you program x and y you are automatically in absolute in order to use incremental you substitude U for X and W for Y and the machine...

Uhhhmmm ? He said 'Flat Bar' that spells solid to me ...

Glad you got it figured. If I remember right a G00 would be a good thing if your previous move was a metered ( G01 G02 G03 ) move otherwise it will veeeery long to get to machine home .

Great I gotto run too , besides the network here at college is so damn slow today it drives me nuts :D ( more then I already am )

Hahaha , yes I do prefer mills them lathes can move awfully quick and the worpiece moves very quick . Again I am only trained on a Haas lathe , the G28 command will send the turret all the way to...

Nope it should send the tool all they way home. machine home not workoffset home .

EDIT: If you are really unsure turn your feeds , rapids and spindle way ... way down , put your finger on the...

Oops .. forgot about the 'other' system , been dealing with mills mostly , I stand corrected :D

Have a great one yourself ... and :D ... I am one of these pesky pre-engineering students :D

Hmmm got me , I always just space them around till it looks right , never even thought of using a word processor ... :D .. guess I am kinda simple minded that way.

Pecking and a real quality drill should improve things quite a bit. Also if you have a way of regrinding your drill a bit steeper angle may help too . Just my $ 0.02 :D

Never dealt with a Cincinatti ... but G28 is turret home u0. and w0. is kinda silly because it tells the machine to move incrementally 0.0 :D , but back to the G28 , that should actually be the...

[QUOTE=mikefalkner;1490142]Is there a way to

Well as I said I am trying to come to terms with this Fadal myself and I just pass on what worked for me on the trial and error basis :D

Uhhh not the one from 'Sin City' ??? Bummer :D

Hallo, sorry do not have dxf files only pics and a link where the whole process is outlined , this is a breather for my ride.

Hi, I am afraid I will not be much help , trying to muddle my way through a Fadal myself . But I did have a similar problem actually ran the tool changer into a collet. I ended up moving all axis to...

Thank you very much , very comprehensive . did not know about the UT command ( this must be the equivalent to the Haas 'set tool measure offset' and 'next tool' commands ) been setting the tools...

Hi, all I can think about is re-chaining , maybe defining a start point or try 'waterline' ... and that's all that comes to mind right now .

I do not understand your statement the fadal is not compliant because it is hardwired ..??? as I stated before I can not find a way to software override .. means it is hardwired only which completely...
