I was buying a few South Bend Parts from "latheman" or Ted several years ago and it looks like my info is way out of date. Does anyone have any current info on him. Is he still selling a few parts or...
Thanks for the info. I did get that code (30) a couple of times over a few hours of cutting. The old hypertherm 1650 I never had problems with moisture. Things are the same now as they were then, but...
I've recently had to upgrade my plasma power unit from a 1650 to the new 105 unit.. The electrodes and nozzles seem to be warring differently than my old unit.. I've had a few misfires for one reason...
It seems that my controller software and machine setup is a little different than yours. My key switches on the controller were already unlocked like yours and when I install both door keys in the...
I don't know about the locks on the controller.... I'll have to check that out tomorrow and report back to you on what I found out..
Thank you for the replies and the time.

Meaning that they aren't all the way pushed into the door safety switch or something... What year model you have....?
thanks for the reply.

I've been around machines all my life. 60 years old.... I'm the owner, single employee, operator, janitor, book keeper of my own little business.
I have a new Hass TM-3P machine, and I have a...
Update.....
I complained to the power company late yesterday and they had a service tech come by last night and check things out. Naturally they don't leave a note to tell whether the service...
I've been trouble free for a very long time with my cnc plasma set-up until a few days ago.
I had a lost arc during a contour and had to restart the arc and program to finish the part. Changed the...
That is true, but wonder if it says that it's not closed...? And there are a lot of segments, curves, arcs..... The only way I know is to brake it all apart.... explode, and start forming a polyline...
Make sure the "materials" are setup correctly in MC. Alum has almost twice the speeds and feeds of steel..... and steel has almost twice the speeds and feeds of stainless.....
That is one I've overlooked for sure. Never seen it or even heard of it. I've learned not to have the problem from the use of good drawing habits and the correct use of O-Snaps.. Paid my dues that's...
It is a front cover or a timing cover to a V-8 engine. You have much inventor experience?
thanks, Aj
Called all these guys today....
VXB only has a select few sizes... Mainly the #2 size..
cadcamcadcam only one size the #2
BUT Superior Bearing Co.... That was a good find. They have all sizes,...
I have a couple of projects working and they all need Vee Wheels. I've recently ordered some through a bearing house and they ordered them from Bishop Wiscarver... That's what not to do.... they were...
I've made some progress. Paying my dues and learning Inventor. It's a time consuming project for me to draw. Re-drew several times and I think I may have it this time...
I have a few modifications...
I need a little advice. I have a project to draw. It's a timing cover to the front of an engine. Mostly Odd shaped.
I've all the bolt hole centers and hole sizes plotted using my milling machine,...
The chairs look great. I like your attention to detail !! I can tell you like to stay busy.... Where did you come by that tubing roller.. Home made or a production piece?
Thanks, I had total brain fade... Been using the plasma stuff from CandCNC and just totally forgot. Haven't worked on my mill for a good while and just dropped the ball I guess you could say... As...
Hello,
I'm running mach .043.066 with the standard screen set 1024 for my milling machine. I've been trying to figure out how to slow down the jog speed rate. The older version I was running some...

I'd like to look at the graph in mach but need all the info. What is the steps per....?? It takes all three variables to take a look at where you're at...

If there is a mistake to be made, I've done it that's for sure and still have some around the corner I'm sure. If a guy is going to work, he's going to screw up sooner or later....
With the plasma...
Two switches on the right are just limit switches to limit the travel of the ball screw and bellows. I only want to streatch the bellows just so far for them to live. Programming mistakes are easy so...
Last two....
Here the rest of the photos....
My machine has changed over the years as I live and learn about the process. I've been using a Rutex "automatic" THC with proximity sensors to find the metal for the past few years, and now I want to...
I'd follow Cheeta's lead on the problem. Sounds like you are loosing steps for one reason or another. You mentioned that the steps per in/mm are the same for both motors, make sure that the...
I never could figure it out... I didn't have the problem on another computer that had inventor installed so it wasn't the drawing...
I did a "repair install" and the problem went away.
Just one...
Using Inventor 2011
I've got something going on I can't seem to figure out.
During the assembly of two parts I can apply "mate" constraints and the parts don't update when picked. The "show...
