Well, the $21000 Camworks software has arrived. I have three days to learn it before the 5 axis router gets here. We still haven't hired the machinist to run the router yet. Any machinists familiar with Haas routers looking for work in the Portland area? You won't be familiar with Haas 5 axis routers, since this is the first one.

Any chance you could give us a daily/weekly journal of your exploits? Sounds like it will be a good read.
just curious, but what sort of salary, ...say for a person with 4+ years Camworks with the multiaxis addins? Who's handling your postprocesser setup and editing? I wanted to add earlier... I thought you and your new hire should attend the Camworks classes and all training together, you would get to know each other while working for a common goal. .....oh yeah, hire someone you could get along with and like.

Cliff, They are looking for someone with experience that knows the difference between G02 and G03 so Cliff, you need not apply. Funny you worry about guns in the work place, you had a lot of people mad at you and chasing you around the plant when you use to work? Fully understandable with that sample code you posted, two lines of code with 5 mistakes where you still insist a counter clockwise move is G02. Tom
Cough!...choke!... gasp!... $21k??? For Camworks? Ouch. I assume it includes the base SW as well. Moving on... Be sure to call Haas Applications for issues concerning pivot distance settings and proper gcode output. What's the model number of this machine? For the post, I can assume camworks will provide that?
Cliff, Normal Troll tactic of yours, snip someones post so it takes on a different meaning and context. Tom The statement was
Seemed clear enough if you were following along. How are you confused today? And it still seems to be. No help yet? BTW, Thought you were learning how to bottom-post. Catch something from slow-learner & bestest new buddy jb?
He just had to snip, right? Last I knew clockwise usually remained clockwise (probable exceptions in Lintland). Does this have anything to do with your negative diameters & resultant inspection problems? BTW, better job on the bottom-posting this time.
In Cliffie lintland G02 is counter clockwise and he is sticking to that story. Just because you don't understand programming on a CNC Gang Tool Machine. There are no negative diameters but there are often X- program points. You wouldn't even listen to Dan Murphy who is a factory representative and a process engineer when he explained it to you. You jump to your normal wrong conclusions and misconceptions of how a CNC Lathe works. You represent yourself as an expert but you have never programmed a CNC Lathe nor I suspect any CNC. The two lines of code you did post had 5 mistakes in it. You not knowing the difference between clockwise and counter clockwise was only one of the five mistakes. Tom
But you were using "diameter programming" with them .... Random numbers too. LOL .... with control options you don't have & did not even try to use ..... Keep your fingers out of he whirley bits? <Snort>
No, you did not go clockwise, your start and end points were counter clockwise. You say you programmed to the standard but you can't post a single make or model lathe built within the last 20 years where your counter clockwise move becomes clockwise. Tom
Cliff, Isn't it getting a little late? Shouldn't you be getting ready for your night security watch? Tom
Dan, This is the watch for Cliff: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8922089474&category=31387 Tom
