1.....5000 x 12 = 6000??!?!!??
5000 x 12 = $60,000.00

2.....it is called "spellcheck" please use it. Otherwize you look pretty dumb.

I was fascinated! What a letdown! No conclusion!?!!

What happened? Did cameraguy get a license? Did he have to sue? Is deepgroove respondng? Does Artsoft acknowledge?

You have stated that you want to do all of your coding by hand, that you want to use a microcontroller and not use Mach 3, that you want to set up a 4th axis using a SERVO (of all things).

I...

I live in Agassiz BC near Chilliwack/Hope. I am the proud owner of a brand new Taig/Microproto Systems CNC milling machine. Mach 3 and Lazy Cam.

I have been trying to draw using G-Max which is a...

Yes! And it had nothing to say about whether this was a good system or a good company to do business with. It was just an offer to sell one NOT an apprasal.

Can't you tell the difference?

Why has nobody mentioned Microproto Systems? They are the ONLY official Taig CNC conversion (You do not void your Taig 2 year warranty). I bought mine 4-5 months ago the COMPLETE system was shipped...

Overall working accuracy should exceed .0005 in with a properly adjusted Taig. You will experience MUCH greater variations due to tool deflection than you will from backlash. DUDE you can even CLIMB...

And I meant to say you REALLY do not need to use the old backlash techniques unless your machine needs to be repaired!

Ah VMC not VNC. I have seen (not done myself) Mach3 turn used to run a Taig in VMC mode. But I have not done much of anything other than buy the system and get it set-up at this point.

I went...

Thank you christinandavid. I have learned something.

When you say VNC machining do you mean from a firewalled server? Otherwise I have no idea what that is. If it is a typo and you meant CNC I am even more confused when you say there is no support for...

That is the crux of it here. Funky material.

Lighter passes (depth) heavier passes (overlap)

Load the side more and the end less. Of course you are "drilling". Every time you send your cutters face farther into the material. Reduce that but...

"in 6061 T6 with a two flute 1/16" stub mill I can feed at 11 IPM with 0.035" cuts with very good results; For stainless you'll want to use a 4-flute bit, possibly TiLAN coated and feed at perhaps...

Wow colour the noob surprized! My little taig is 5.5x12x6! With a max z hight of 9".

Should be no problem at all 

I am not there yet but I am well on the way to having that 5000 member forum..........

I have TWICE the time and number of plans that you put into your site and I don't even try to make advertising money out of it. It has always been free and will always be free and BECAUSE I AM NOT...

I am IMPRESSED! Not only with your great work and design but the philosophy of keeping it as simple as possible for...well not beginners but I suspect this project (with your plans and some forum...

Thanks again! Once you mentioned holding the left mouse button down on the snap button it all became clear! It's the only button down there that acts that way.
...

Thanks for the guidance and especially for the effort you have put into this project of yours. And I am sorry for calling you "David" in my first post. You usually just go by yohudi. I have also...

sorry removed post because I want to think about my question some more.

Hi I am not the original poster but could I ask you to re-state your reccomendations in slightly less technical language? As stated in my last post I get the general idea but I am not completely sure...

1...that's only slightly longer than I would expect it to take. Slower in IPM.

2...Ohkhay different materials cut differently. This may be the best you can do with this particular material.
...

I can not believe no one has mentioned CNC4free.org the system developed here is an INTEGRATED package that does more than any $5000 software bundle.

GMAX is Autodesk and with the CNC toolkit...

1...How long did it take to get to the point you are at in the pictures? Rememer it's cut deeper AND slower NOT just deeper.
2...All i have ever heard tells me that the Taig is a superior machine...

What is making you think that you need to use other tooling? Is it the "grooves" in the workpiece?

I have the exact same Taig micro mill that you have. I ordered mine from Microproto Systems. I...
