We were poking fun at the 128 bit statement. 64 bit operating systems were developed in part to allow addressing beyond 4GB without memory extensions.

The limit of addressable memory imposed by a...

Sheesh, I'm soldering as fast as I can. Only 2.9999 trillion connections left to solder!

Joe

Good luck with that.

It seems obvious to me that you just want to yell from the top of your soapbox, and I hate to spoil your fun, but I have heard of people getting a refund from Alibre.

I routinely read posts on CNC forums about mid to high end CAM packages (Gibbs, MasterCAM, NX among others) that are purported to come with working posts. It is not unusual to end up costing the end...

Nevermind, I figured it out.

Bad spindle resolver or resolver wiring.

My understanding is if you let your maintenance lapse, when your current license expires, you will be issued a permanent license. Have not had to figure out what is involved in getting this permanent...

*Disclaimer* I have also posted this on the Mecsoft user forum

I have a part, visualize something like a piece of 1.5" angle iron with 1/4" thick walls. a few inches long. I want to rough it out...

I visited this thread because I thought it was for Alibre SOCKS to complete my Alibre shirt, pant, and hat fanboi ensemble.

Man was I disappointed!

Joe

Me too! I am working on building a 128 bit computer, hand wiring the connections. I only have 3 trillion wires left to run!

Joe

The answer is that the CNC control you use is completely independent of the CAM software you use.
The key is refining a post processor for the CAM software so that it will output the NC code in the...

If you need help, send me a sample part file along with some code it has posted with markups showing what needs changed (and what post you used to create the "bad" NC code).

Rereading your...

It's not difficult to customize a post in VM (AlibreCAM).
Using an existing post that is close, identify the areas where the code does not match the syntax your controller wants.
Alter that region...

Perhaps they misrepresent the capabilities of the nearly useless CAM that is included for FREE with AD Expert, but you are not really in a position to judge the efficacy of their paid CAM product. If...

Actually NTFS (the default file system on Windows NT) uses TTS.
It hotfixes the drive when it detects bad clusters, moving the data from failing allocation units, then reading the written data...

You can't base an opinion of AlibreCAM on the free super limited version included with AD Expert.

For $1000 (or less if you can make a deal) AlibreCAM Standard (like its sibling products Visual...

Sketch a 2D profile.
Extrude it.
To change the profile (section) of the extrusion, select the sketch in the design tree then click the sketch button on the top of the right edge toolbar, or right...

Sounds like the Z axis servo drive.
When my X axis drive went it did the same thing.
Of course I could just reverse the X and Y connections to verify the problem followed the drive, since they are...

Last night I resolved another nuisance.

The 2 axis DRO I have on my lather is based on the 3 axis mill DRO.

As such, it has an X, Y, and Z display and function buttons.

On the lathe, the...

Several of the tools pictered were small straight shank collet holders (ER16?) held in what looked to be solid (set screw) HSK toolholders. Strange setup for such a high dollar operation.

Stuffed = crapped out = BROKEN

If yoy have a Bridgeport with Heidenhain control, why are you posting in the Cincinnati forum?

Joe

I bought it on their eBay store.

Joe

Lucky... no. Prepared because we put in a 200 amp service back when my wife decided we needed a 4 seasons sunroom (that I never use).
I ran a 100A subpanel out to my detached heated garage, which is...

Yes I bought mine from DROPros.
Not sure who else carries the Electronica system.
They shipped my product quickly, and when I had a question, I was able to get someone on the phone without a...

How you making out Pete?

It looks like a good deal, but without the model number of the machine it's hard to know for sure.

I picked up a used BF30 for squaring up stock and secondary ops (for...

The Electronica systems are made in India and are top notch. They come with nice extruded shields and enough brackets to mount on practically anything. The scale and reader head are rated IP67 and...

I believe that the acquisition of Alibre by a larger company at least increases the likelihood that they'll be around for a while.

You won't find a more capable product even at several times the...
