Thanks.

Will that affect the other processes that I'm doing on the sheet as well? I just want to drill deeper, not cut deeper.

Drill through

Good evening all

Is there some way to allow a drill to drill 0.770 in a 0.760 thickness material?

Thanks.

Drill Bank

I`m not sure if this is a problem or a question or a new request. Probably a bit of each. In any case, I have successfully (with help) modified a post to work with my C45 Thermwood. Now I need to get my Biesse Arrow working. All is OK except the drill bank. There are 13 different drills, each with t...

Tabbing issues

Hi All

When I auto assign tabs the program hangs.

Any ideas?

Can I place them manually?

Post Z issues

Hi All.

I have my post set with Z Zero set to the top of the work.

With a 0.760 depth of cut I would expect a Z-0.760 but I get a Z0.365 instead.

Any ideas?

Post variables

Hi All

Is there a way to use material dimensions as a variable in a post?

I need to do something like:

SET XSHIFT= 96. where 96 is the material length.

Also ZSHIFT= 0.625. where 0.625 is the material thickness.

Thanks.

Fagor post

Hi All

I am using a modified Fagor post for my Thermwood. It seems to be OK except for the dialog bx that comes up and asks for a program number.

How do I get rid of that. I tried a few things, but no success.

Thanks.

While asking about handling tools, is it possible to have specific instructions per tool?

One of my machines has a drill bank so each drill has a specific M code and offset.

Post question

Good evening

How would I set up a post to call the next tool right after a tool change?

Something like:
T3 (initial tool needed)
M7 (tool change)
T100 (next tool)
G0X20 (start to use T3)
