Thanks for the reply. Again - a very nice job. Looks like it would be a very nice machine for PCB routing.

Thank you very much!!!

Very nice job. A few questions - which DaVinci printer did you use? What material? Can you say a few words about the 3D printer settings?

I would gladly measure one if there was one nearby.

Thanks for the input. I had looked that up, but that version uses the old style 45 degree rail. I am using the newer 20mm Hiwin style rail that is used on the more recent Pro design.

The carriage bearings on each rail on the x and y axis are spaced apart from each other. I am interested in the distance, from the outer end of one truck to outer end of the other truck on the same...

Any of the large machines would be fine. I am building 5'4" x 5'4".

Don't see any dimensions there....

I am using some CNCROUTERPARTS stuff, but my frame is 45 series rather than 40 series extrusion. I am interested in the outer end to outer end truck spacing on the standard Pro parts. For both the...

I have looked at plywood - I found sources up to 24' in one direction, but not greater than 5' in the other. I realize I can scarf material together, but wonder if there is a source of some usable...

I appreciate Mike's reply, but it turned out to be bigger and more expensive that he remembered. So I am still looking for an alternative.

I have an air bearing spindle that needs a drive - up to 2kHz to get the full 125k rpm. I have a 1kHz VFD, but cannot seem to find anything with higher frequency to run my 3amp peak, ~1/3hp spindle....

I have an air bearing spindle that goes to 125k rpm with a 2kHz drive - 220V, ~3a, 3ph. I have a 1kHz drive that will work but I am looking for a drive that goes to 2kHz at a hopefully reasonable...

I did use cut and paste, but I had no idea there were restrictions on using it. Is cut and paste generally unsafe in Partmaster?

Anyone home?

Thanks for your efforts - it is nice to have someone make suggestions. I think the difference between my case and yours is this - the holes in question are all inside a shallow countersink...

Are you using VM or VM for SW?

Andy-
Thanks for your comment. The operation I am trying to set up is a drilling operation. My choices are 1-drill poiints/circles or 2-holes in a flat area. I have tried both without much...

I am using VM for SW. I designed a simple pattern for a Tee nut. It consists of a through hole, two counter-bores and 4 drilled holes for the tangs. I then repeated this structure using the linear...

Have you been able to reproduce the problem?
Bruce

OK, I am using VM for SW and I did find the option to solve the problem in the program itself, rather than the post.

I will add one more data point. I use a dongle on two different machines. One is a 32bit WXP machine and the other is a 64bit W7 machine. They both exhibit the same behavior on this file.

This is my first attempt to attach the file - I hope it worked. If not, I will try again.

How do I turn on helical interpolation in the post processor? This will save a ton of code. A friend suggested doing it, so I know it can be done.

Here are three links to the simulation output from the my file. It has 4 form driven drill and tap operations on a grid. The first two use a larger mill and the second two a smaller end mill. Each...

First, let me ask if I have the most recent version of 10 - mine is 10.0.1006. My problem is that when I do a sequence of 4 Drill&Tap grid operations, CAM becomes confused and holes end up in the...

I have a logic analyzer, not the necessary Fanuc controlled machine tool. My Kitamura has incremental encoders. It is my only Fanuc machine. We need to find a willing someone with a...

My guess is the only way we are going to discover the command sequence that references an absolute encoder is to attach a logic analyzer to a machine that has an absolute encoder and reference it. I...

So if I understand you correctly, the procedure for resetting zero after a battery failure is as follows: Reference zero as I described above and leave the axis in that position. Then set...

On my Kitamura, I have the incremental encoders equivalent to the absolute encoder Jon is testing. When I reference them, the machine drives the axis to a switch and then continues driving to the...
