    4th Axis Probing Macro Issues

    That variable is to change the direction of angle adjustment. Renishaw doesn’t know which direction on every machine is positive rotation. That switch will change the output. Sounds like you need to change #4 = 1 to #4 = -1

    mastercam tool staging in posted programs

    What post are you using? But generally this handled in the control definition. I open the machine definition>then control definition.> make changes save control def.> then save machine def.> as a habit I re select the machine definition in the part file after I make changes.

    WHERE DO YOU HIRE PEOPLE ??

    I’m not asking you to advertise. Ask yourself are you being competitive with other shops around you. When people say they can’t hire anybody, 80% of the time I’d say it’s because of salary.

    So a .375 hole was undersize by .0025? Your expecting a lot out of a tool room mill. Slow down your feed and take a spring pass. Maybe even 2 spring passes.
