Thank you for the info!
My Camsoft program supports the DMC 2143 motion controller. I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge about using the DMC 4143 as a direct replacement. I have the Pro 15.9 version of Camsoft and would...
I sent my information via. e-mail, I hope you get it! If you do not have the files for this board is it possible for the user to configure the software themselves to accept different boards.
Can I customize Camsoft to work with control boards other than the Galil boards already set in the program? I have a machine with an old motion control board and I would like to run my Camsoft...
I have a punch press that could run your part. Please contact me if your interested.
I own version 20, it works ok for the most part. I have been watching the new versions since and am glad that I haven't upgraded. I just got a call from a salesmen that told me V22 was dumped. After...
I tried it and it was the worst money that I ever spent. You can do a search on the web and find tons of people that have had a bad experience with these guy's.
The custom tooling market does exist, I was once offered a position to design custom tooling for a local company. I did not take the position, so I can't say just how much demand there actually is. I...
That's a very broad question. I think you need to refine it a little. In other words, what particular aspect of the market are you interested in.
I used them back in 2003. It was a total waste of money. They've been badgering my lately to come back. I told them, if they let me pay by the jobs I received I would come back. They didn't like that...
ezpcb,
Here in the US I have seen alot my material cost double from last year. Are you seeing the same over there?
I'm sure that there are many shops who would look at this guy's parts. He made a very broad statement.

I would love to see this part, because I don't believe this story! I have a small manufacturing company and some of the prices I come across from American suppliers are extremely cheap. In fact, many...
Did the latest update fix the major problems with V22?
Are most of the people with major complaints now satisfied?
Business is still very slow for me, so the upgrade expence is not justifiable. I...
Hello Polymath,
Thanks for the explaination! PM sent.
The print calls fractional dims. +-.005 It doesn't say anything for the 3plc decimal. I agree this print needs work!!!!!!!!
[QUOTE=Karl_T;470540] In general the Galil PCI 18x0 cards are the best.
That's the one I was planning on, Thanks!

Thank you for your help. I setup my system with XP. I won't know for awhile how well it will work, I still need my control board. Any suggestions on a board?
I'm getting ready to build a new system for my Camsoft machine. I have several options for operating systems. I'm wondering which system works the best with Camsoft? Any suggestions would be...
I built a blast furnace from a 16 gal. steel drum. I lined it with clay approx. 3 in. thick. It used charcoal for fuel, I could melt anything I wanted to and it was relatively safe. You must use...
I just want stability and reliable code. I have an old DOS cam program that I use over my Bobcad Ver. 20 simply because I know the code will be correct. I'm not even going to bother telling the story...
Hello Scott,
Thanks for your responce. I'm asking these questions for my own research and do not wish to degrade any particular product. I have a Camsoft Pro version that I have not installed yet....
Have the basic features changed on the latest version of Camsoft Pro from previous such as Ver.15? Do you still have to go up levels to get features like roughing and simulate?
Poppabear10,
How would you compare Mach 3 to other programs such as Camsoft? I've looked at Mach 3 and just from what I've seen it seems to be more of a hobby system. I've been thinking of trying...
I don't have ver. 22, I only went to 20. I do understand what your saying now. When I use ver. 20, I only rough within approx. .02-.03 then I do a profile finish cut. I wouldn't be surprised if the...
Are you copying a molded component?
I have not used that feature, I just write canned cycles for threads. I'm not sure I understand your second question.
I don't know if this will help, I use the theoretical center of the tool cutting face for my tool path.
I've never seen the E Machine Shop before. Has anyone here compared them to their own machine shop prices to see how they compare? If so, what were you're results including lead time?
