What about shifting the c/g forward a bit?

plastic injection molding machine??

so Ive been working on it some more. I feel like I was running head on into a brick wall when it came to flipping the part :wall: but I think I got it :D I did not add the reaming cycle, My mill does not have enough Z to accomodate the chucking reamer :( I still need to run this thru mach...

Hi Dave, Havent touched the speeds and feeds just yet, was just playing with the tool paths then will be setting everything else up. Have not run the flywheel yet. Im thinking it might be best if I used a piece of 2" round stock and just mill the recesses and spokes, but could easily...

Good Idea!! HaHa no! Ive been wrestling with it, had some problems with it doing some strange things that I just didnt understand so I changed to a different machining op to get t to work like I thought it should. Yes, I havent gone that far into it yet funny though, I thought I selected...

playing with screenshots too :)

Scott, would you mind taking a look at this one. I modeled up a flywheel and have started on the tool paths. I still need to ream the hole instead of just drilling, and I haven't done anything with the speeds/feeds but I would like you to just take a look at the tool paths and see what you...

I think I just gave away a million dollar idea....LOL

There should be a way to code it to the bios serial number of the computer it is opened on so it cant be shared. Doing this would only allow the file to run on the computer that the file has been saved on and activated with an unlock code. Im not sure how this would work though once the file is...

Cant find this snipping tool, im running windows hate......oops I mean eight lol

Yes I did, thats going to become very handy!!

Scott, what are you doing to get those screen shots? Ive been thinking about what I have done so far and might change things up a bit. I was tying to put everything onto one piece of stock and mill it out without fixture, but then I decided to look at other milling machines and the X-Y...

Downloaded the file and checking it out. Learning quite a bit :) Thanks for posting your stc file looking at how you did things makes it much easier to figure it out. I wish sprut cam had more documentation, or maybe a training module.

Im running sprut9 master. Scott, you sound like you are really on top of your sprut cam. Thanks again for your help. Tabs....hmmm....havent tried that yet, im likely to go tab happy once I figure that out. LOL

Im going back thru the code and reworking a few things. I ran into the canned cycle thing before. I was trying not to have to secure them to a fixture plate thats why I left the .005" at the bottom and was cutting the middle part out first, then working out from there. I really appreciate your...

Thanks for the help (I need it). On that last part i was trying to sprial down instead of plunging in. Just ran the g code on my mill, ran pretty well but there are a few things I need to fix up. One biggie was that the sprial pocketing did not run in mach at all, just skipped right over that...

Short vid of the simulation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TdmKOoZ9a_Q

Thats interesting. It doesn't throw that error in mach3. post processors are a pita! LOL

Ok, and the mach 3 file. Needs extension changed to tap first.....

ok this is the sprut cam file but you need to change the extension to stc before running. Hope this works.???
