Had you any real experience, you'd be using a vacuum chuck Jon.
It's not possible to "squeeze" a part identically in a vice every time you
change over.

Here is a machining "Tit" for ya'.

There is not reason to change out a vice and waste time mounting a
vacuum chuck if you don't need to and a vise will work fine!

If anyone is interested I'd be happy to post pictures of our numerous
vacuum-holding systems some of which are made by IBAG and many of
which we make ourselves.

No kidding.
You just clamp the chuck in your vice.
You can even use that fancy and useless five axis stop you swear by to
locate the thing.
By doing so, you can make your chucks in advance if something custom is
necessary.
Otherwise, you buy standard stock and change out O-Rings. You can do that in
sewconds if the guy generating the set up documents and code knows what he's
doing. Ask him.

Why don't you let the quality of your work dictate the level of interest
Jon?
Put up something you have done yourself.

Gee .... where's the locating datum?
Cutting that off too?

task I put a set of aluminum soft jaws in a vise and tighten the jaws against a
small parallel with approximately the same pressure as I will use to hold the
chuck of plastic. I then mill a .030 deep step with a 1/2? 3 flute carbide end
mill on both jaws. Next I insert a dovetail cutter and mill a dovetail in both
the fixed and moveable jaw. I then come back and cut off the burr that the
dovetail cutter leaves making sure to push the burr away from the edge of the
dovetail. Finally I use the end mill to create “teeth” in the dovetail so that
the plastic part can’t slide. The whole process can be done in less than ten
minutes and results in a cheap way to hold and mill plastic parts. It’s so fast
I don’t even bother to save the aluminum soft jaws and instead just make them
whenever I need them.

Can anybody suggest a better way to waste time, material, jaws, &
etc. while still making scrap (claimed) parts in an unsafe manner?

<Sheesh ..> "1/2? 3 flute carbide" .... LOL ... as if anything else could
not cut a little bit of soft Alumiinum ..... even when used by an idiot
doing (or claiming to) something stupid to begin with ...

I think he made this up today based on a post in AMC by
a real machinist ... and got it all wrong again, as usual.

A total hoot !!!

Wow, to say that I outdid myself on the first tip would be an
understatement. Can you believe how clever (and simple) it is? I
hope you all are eagerly awaiting the next tip. I can just imagine
the excitement out there while everyone is waiting for number 2.

Is that like a woodchuck? We have some you could have if you pay for
trapping, shiping & CA importation.

PLUS it more of your typical idiocy.
The fixed jaw is FIXED.
The other jaw needs to be well-held for machining or chatter
will get you. FIRMLY clamping a 123 block or a good scrap of CRS
will do this. "approximately the same pressure as I will use to hold the
chuck of plastic" will not.

In addition, HAD YOU EVER ACTUALLY DONE THIS you would
have noticed the thin plastic stock pulling out of the vise if drilling
thru it (as drill grabs the exit "burr") and bending down into the gap
in the vise for most other machining operations.

And you have no idea where the edge is located in that "V".

Yup, there you have it!!
Good response there Jonnie,

If you have to do that routine, say 30 times a year, and you toss the
jaws, as you say, AND, it only takes you 10 minutes MAX.

Then 30 X 10 = 300 minutes / 60 = 5 hours X 75.00 P/Hr = $375.00
Not counting cost of jaw blanks

I can buy several sets of jaw blanks from US Shop Tools and make the
dovetail once for that kind of money.

It probably doesnt take 10 mins. more like 30 mins, unless as said
earlier, all the tools just happen to be in holders, in the turret or
carosel and the alum jaws just happen to be in the vise, and the part
is the same size as the last one you made, and the tools in the turret
were'nt used on 304 or 17-4 or O-1, in other words damaged or worn, in
the REAL world 10 mins goes by real quick.

Have a nice Saturday, I gotta go make real parts that go real fast!

I normally dont get involved in these things anymore and mean no offence to
Jon but on reading his blog it sounds to me like a fairly good method
provided the objective is that of reliably launching plastic plastic
workpieces out of the machine vise.

Jon suggest rethink and perhaps remove that particular tip of gripping only
upon a .030 deep portion of work and generating shear with the dove ( rather
than pure compressive forces )--rather poor and unreliable workholding
practice, especially where the soft or highly malleable materials are
concerned....hopefully no one will actually try this and so end up causing
themselves or others to suffer personal injury or property damage.

Do it all the time with great success, Sam. The teeth I describe that
I mill in the dovetail penetrate the plastic and hold it so it doesn't
move.

Yes Jon did surprise me a little by posting something easy to prove he
plagiarized.

If Jon posted crib notes or parroted solving triangles without
crediting the source that's one thing. However to represent easy to
prove prior art as "his" first machining tip, that did surprise me a
little.

Every time I think Jon Banquer can't be that stupid he proves me
wrong.

How does this marring a blank save you time because you "don't want to
machine two sides parallel" as you claim in your OP?

Don't you now have to machine off (clean up) where your jaws
penetrated the plastic blank you are machining?

Exactly. Clearly he's never actually done as he claimed & it's
all clueless stolen BS *again*.
He has NO IDEA at all what it was about. Just buzzwords to
steal (again), get confused & garbled about in his little

Not a single clue .... or a word of truth.
And NOW he's "milling" "teeth" (plural) in a "dovetail".
Not to mention marring the part with all that "penetrating".

Fer christs sakes jonnie. How about puttin up a machining tip that
someone beyond a 1st year machinist hasn't used. Where'd you find
this one? At the local vocational school? I've been doin crap like
that since the early 70's. Of course not in the stupid way you
described but lets just say....similar operations and leave it at
that. What's your next tip....how to drill a hole? How about tellin
us how to cut a keyway?

Damn dude.....your inexperience is showin. Do yourself a favor and
burn those "3 Ring Binders" before you embarrass yourself further. I
knew this was gonna be comical but I never expected this type of
hilarity. Pleeeeeeaaaase keep postin your amateur tips. I can use
the laugh.

Cool.....is this a tips thread? I frigen love tips and tricks threads!!! I
hope this goes on forever!!!!!


I got one.

If your machining a large semi flat surface in any materials...say like the
bottom of a tupperwear bowl, or the faceplace from a printer, etc...
somthing semi flat, something semi large.
When you do your ball mill work, put it on an angle, say 5 degrees. maybe
set it on a magnetic sine plate? Whatever. Just get it tipped accurately.
Use your noggin.
Get it tipped on a slight angle. In the cam system tip the model your
cutting, or tip the path you made on the same angle. use a sharp corners for
the XYZ references.
The stuff will look like it was polished from cutting on the non center
part of the ball mills, and your tools wont wear.
It's super easy if you have some kind of sine plate and a cam system. If
you lack either of the 2 ....nevermind.

Of course of you have 5 axis nevermind you spoiled #*(&^#^&@%@!! lol

hmmmm, brings up a question?
When using 5 axis, would you tip it on one angle...rough...slightly tip it
more...finish pass?
Or do people buy 5 axis stuff and cut it in the top plane.

I've only used Mastecam X for a little over a year. BD has years more
experience than I do and I'm sure is far better with Mastercam than I
am. This statement doesn't hold true for people like Joe788 or Darrell
Reid who have used Mastercam for years and are often clueless and
wrong in regards to Mastercam. It only takes a short while for me to
blow by these types of idiots but it takes many years to be on equal
footing with a knowledgeable and advanced Mastercam users like BD.

BD can correct me if I have the following wrong:

Both of us seem to agree that Mastercam X2 has a lot of problems with
the basics never getting fixed and that have been broken for years in
Mastercam X. Basics like, Change At Point, a tool library interface
that is very modal and would be better if it used a database or
spreadsheet interface so you could make changes to multiple tools
rather than one tool at a time, stability problems with the Machining
Operations Manager, a user interface that is so bad that a dual
monitor setup is mandatory. Even when you have dual monitors you can’t
do something as basic as moving the View Manager dialog box to the
second monitor and leave it open, etc.

Both BD and I agree that Cliff Huprich has never used Mastercam X and
has no idea what he's talking about. The same is true with SolidWorks.
Most of the CADCAM information Cliff Huprich posts is wrong and
outdated and the rest are lies.

IMO, anyone believing anything Cliff Huprich posts about machining
(Cliff Huprich has very little experience doing actual machining),
Mastercam X or SolidWorks deserves the wrong / inaccurate information
they get from the liar.

And you have answered how many of my questions to know this?
The last time I saw ANY question on here about mastercam, was from
Clay, and YOU were nowhere to be found!
Show your work asshole, if your going to bring my name up, you better
have someting to back up your bullshit!
I design, program and build setups in Mastercam every day, post to my
machines without any manual editing and have no drilled holes or
milled slots in my tables or vises.
I doubt you can make the same claim, shit your still trying to figger
out how to use work offsets.

I will ask one more time:
How many machines do you own?
How many LEGAL seats of CAD-CAM software do you own?
When are you going to put up some examples of work you have done?
When are you going to address any of the questions anybody has asked
on here without just reposting the same paragraph over and over?
And btw, your machining tip: I learned that back in 1977, my 1st year
in machining.

Jon, YOU are the one that couldn't select a chain, and called it a
"stupid waste of time."

YOU are the one that said levels are a waste of time, and that
assemblies and configurations are SO MUCH better (even though they
aren't even remotely used for the same function).

_____________________________________
"Suggest you fire up Mastercam X2 on your notebook and import a
SolidWorks model into Mastercam X2 and start chaining the solid for
toolpath. It should not take you very long to see how Mastercam X2
hasto be told what to chain. SolidWorks / HSMWorks never has to be
told what to chain! If you want a face you pick it. If you want an
edge you pick it. If you want a curve you pick it. In Mastercam X2 you
must tell Mastercam X2 what you want. Totally ridiculous and a waste
of time." - Jon Banquer
_____________________________________


My response to your completely uninformed, beginner level complaint:

"Just for the heck of it, I fired up X2, opened a Solidworks .sldprt
file, and then made a toolpath around the contour of the solid.

It took one click to select the chain. I did not have to tell it if I
wanted to pick an edge or a face. I just moved the mouse over the
edge, and it highlighted the edge. I clicked once, and it selected the
entire chain.

Maybe you should try this on YOUR seat of Mastercam next time before
you make an ass out of yourself again." - Joe788
____________________________________

Here's another shining example of you having no idea what you're
doing:

"Assemblies are a much smarter approach. I fail to see why you need
Levels or Layers if you have a proper assembly mode. Perhaps this
afternoon I'll do a comparison of dumb fucking Levels / Layers to
Assemblies." -Jon Banquer

So 6 months ago you thought assemblies are much better than levels,
(because you are COMPLETELY clueless) even though you refused to
explain how they could even be considered remotely in the same
universe of functionality. And of course now, you're at CNCZone and
all over your blog, crying about wanting to learn how to better
utilize the power of levels! Do you EVER get tired of completely
contradicting yourself?

Oh well, at least you're finally getting some training. If only you'd
done it before you spent the last 18 months putting your foot in your
mouth and humiliating yourself.

"I'm presently taking official Mastercam VAR training. I'm very lucky
that I work for a company that can afford it because the training book
that we are useing for official Mastercam VAR training as well as the
very knowledgeable instructor provided information is NOT AVAILABLE if
you don't use official Mastercam VAR training.

A lot of work needs to be done to correct this situation and I feel
for those who can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars per day to get
the proper training as I was in that situation for many years." - Jon
Banquer (Jim Jarvis, Larry, etc)

You may but he clearly does not. He's badly lacking in the basics,
many of which apply to most CAD & CAM & CAD/CAM systems.
Why don't you train him?

You've been PRETENDING to know MasterCAM for
a DECADE (TEN YEARS) !!!
Example:
[
As far as MasterCAM dedication to outstanding tech support , I have pointed this
out for at least six months on a regular basis. Although I personally don't like
MasterCAM the outstanding job that CNC Software does in this area is probably
the best in the business.
] - Jon Banquer Jul 22 1998

THE TRUTH: You don't even know about chains, chaining or the WCS.
Not only is this not new to MasterCAM, AFAIK it's not new to ANY
system. But YOU are confused by it (and much else).
You ALSO "think" in terms of ONLY 2 1/2 axes, such as might
be seen in about any intro training 5 minute demo. Nothing more.
And NONE of your posts have EVER been about more than *entry
level manual machine operation* (and made any sense).

It's also quite clear that you cannot even begin to follow any of
the real discussions (or trolling <G>). ALL you can do is copy
ads & the posts of others & get confused !!!

You are not a CAD, CAD/CAM or CAM user.

WCS is CAD/CAM & CAM.
Fixture offsets come out of such a just a call to a numbered offset
register (or set of same) in the CNC control. CNC control then applies
the data set by the machine's operator in it's fixture offset registers
(under program control).
Part of why ISO-4343 mentions "in the part coordinate system"
to begin with.
Pretty simple but well beyond jb's conception.

Did you catch his wanting to link the active WCS to the active view/port

Yep, JB's Mastercam expertise put on display for all to see:


"Suggest you fire up Mastercam X2 on your notebook and import a
SolidWorks model into Mastercam X2 and start chaining the solid for
toolpath. It should not take you very long to see how Mastercam X2
hasto be told what to chain. SolidWorks / HSMWorks never has to be
told what to chain! If you want a face you pick it. If you want an
edge you pick it. If you want a curve you pick it. In Mastercam X2 you
must tell Mastercam X2 what you want. Totally ridiculous and a waste
of time." - Jon Banquer "

This one's my favorite though:

"Assemblies are a much smarter approach. I fail to see why you need
Levels or Layers if you have a proper assembly mode. Perhaps this
afternoon I'll do a comparison of dumb fucking Levels / Layers to
Assemblies." -Jon Banquer


Jon has absolutely no idea what he's doing. The fact that you can't
see that, tells me you are similarly clueless, or you simply don't
care. (My guess would be the latter).

Only a complete kook (fitting that you keep cross posting this to a
bunch of random kook groups) would consider Jon's history of
contradiction and completely incorrect statements a "mistake".

I'd certainly love to see any example of Jon ever making anybody "look
stupid", unless of course you mean his unbelievably witty misquotes,
followed by "now it's correct."

Conversely, I can think of many times when Jon's humiliated himself,
such as making multiple claims about working with HSMWorks, only to
have the infamous email thrown in his face: "Jon is not affiliated
with HSMWorks ApS in any way and that we cannot control what people
are writing on the web. Anybody can get evaluation licenses of
HSMWorks and test it themselves.I hope this clarifies any doubt." -

Funny though to see *you* blaming others for contributing "absolutely
nothing of any substance." Hey, at least you're contributing some
comedy! Make any personal threats or calls to anybodies employer
lately?

You asked about fixture offsets.
I could explain about the MCS & the WCS too.
The "work offset" is a bit vague. See whatever
docs for the specific program or machine/control
claim. Then ask jb for some fine gibberish.

Nor am I about to make any silly claims. Try using standard terms
as used in the standards.

Great idea. You programmed a hole to drill in the default X-Y plane then
generate it with an isometric view & WCS/MCS active.
You just pulled a banquer.

I can tell a -X in diameter programming mode from a +X <VBG>.

Clearly BD misses a lot of clueless stupidity & idiocy.
Thus he's in no position to defend the great self-proclaimed

Actually, Joe has posted a lot more good stuff than you ever have
(in the last 8 years anyway), BD.
You generally just whine like jb IIRC .... and I still recall well
your posts to a newbie mold person.
Break the bad habits.

The "work offset" term is often misused for "tool length offsets"
in lathe applications these days.
There would be two of them per tool position per turret (if
the lathe has at least one turret else just per tool); one axial
& one radial, both called as a set.
Then there are people that use the term for other things. Are
you one of those?

Have any actual "machining tips" for jb to steal?

Some also use the term to adjust/shift only the "position" in Z
for all tools on a lathe.

That's what I figured you'd say. Not one example. Jon posts something
completely false and incorrect as a fact, then it's corrected by
somebody who actually knows what they're doing, but yet somehow JB's
little cheerleader sees it the other way.

You're either lying to yourself when you say Jon doesn't read the
replies to his posts, or you really are completely clueless.

How many posts in this topic have you cross posted?

"Hypocrisy, hy·poc·ri·sy - (or the state of being a hypocrite) is the
act of preaching a certain belief or way of life, but not, in fact,
holding these same virtues oneself. For example, a teacher telling
students they should not plagiarize, while secretly being a plagiarist
himself. Hypocrisy is frequently invoked as an accusation in many
contexts."

I turn it off as well and for the same reason. I don't like that sort of
stuff happening on it's own.
Probably an old guy thing. Were the guys that liked the follow feature
younger than 30?
Anyone that young wouldn't remember the years when this sort of thing worked
poorly when it worked at all.

I'm surprised you are having such trouble with arrays. I do that all the
time with five axis vanes and haven't had any difficulty. I'm also not a
regular user, however, so I might have the same problem if I were.

Part of the problem is that, at first, jb can sound like he has
a clue. But it's just all copied stuff & buzzwords.
It shows when he tries to use "his own words" & the buzzwords
end up in the wrong context, just for starters.
So BD gets fooled (giving him the credit).

Plus, theres all the other stuff .... like idiot questions on BBS systems
that trace back to one of his many names that about any actual
user would never have had to ask, etc. Not to forget the classic rants ...
