Can I pre-enter the machine, tool and material data before I go to the shop to tap-test?

Yes, you can.

1. You do not need to have the dongle inserted to do this.

2. Open MillMax and look up the machine, toolholder, tool and material.

3. Click File > New to automatically save save the file.

4. To retrieve file, open MillMax and click on Open Dashboard Folder button

5. The first file shown will be the last file saved. The file name will include the machine and the MSC numbers for the toolholder and cutter.

6. Click on the file name to open and conduct the tap-test.

7. When completed the file will be saved with a new name.

8. Be sure to delete the old file.

UPDATE: We now have SimpleMill that allows you to enter the minimum data and still generate a usable Dashboard.  You can reopen and edit this file as more data becomes available: https://mli.supportbee.io/2770-millmax-support-center/6000-new-features/19920-new-features-july-2023
