Any help would be great. The mill has been out of service for about 6 months, but now I need it.
Thanks
Matt

I should start by saying I'm not a real machinist, I just play one on TV.
Having said that, It looks to me like the end mill flexing. I was having the same problem on one of my projects.
How much...

Yes, I have the programming manual.

Thanks

Thanks, I'll do that monday
Matt

Both are cnc...sort of.
The mill I use everyday is 1998 HH Roberts bed mill with a retrofit Anilam 3300mk, with auto oil and coolent. It can handle about a 1MB program.

The other mill is a YCM...

I have V22 and a mill that "speaks" conversational. Can someone help me edit the post processor to write the drill code for me. Until now I have been writing it myself. But thats getting old fast....

Hi John.
I already have the boot disks, do I need something else?
Thanks again
Matt

Tell me about it. I have built more tools than parts.....so far...

Thanks, I got it going yesterday, But I will keep his contact info.
Matt

I'll do that, .....just one question, how do I do that?:rainfro:

I have been very happy with the support for V22. Its been working great for months now. I still get the occational "required application unavalible" then it shuts down. But its not a big problem, I...

Sure
In the post editor (predator) , just highlight the code after the Z+ lines and hit delete. Be careful to go back look at the code to make sure you done crash a tool. You may want to add a Rapid...

Thanks
I started out to build a better cylinder head for a briggs OHV race engine. Who knew it would turn into a part time job.

Its working out great for me. I bought the equipment to use for my own engine work. Lately I've had to put my projects aside to fill the orders and all the equipment is now a tax deduction.

I deleted all the other post files, so now it defaults to it. :) not the correct way, but it worked.

Bobcad will look at the bottom of the part, raise up the amount specified in the "stock remaining" box, then each z level will be above that point by the amount specified in the "depth of cut" in the...

Available? Its on your computer already. you just have to convince them to unlock it.$$$ They emailed me a code and presto I was a pro.:rainfro:

Using the blank option only removes the tool path from the screen.
For the profile have it to leave 0.00 on the sides and put 0 for the radius of the finish tool. You will have to select the...

I have an Anilam 3300mk on a 1998 HH Roberts bed mill. After months of trouble free service I am getting a "Z lag error" when I try to home the mill. If I try to move the bed I get the same error for...

Thanks. I will wait until I have the part where I want it, then create the contours.
Thanks again
Matt

After I finished drawing a part, I translated it over to x axis, and saved it. Later, I deleted one of the contours and it disappeared, but the underlying geometry moved back to its location before I...

Ok, I'll give it a try.
What type of geometry are you finishing? (a surface, 3d geomotry, etc..)
How smooth do you need it to be. I have found that when the mill is trimmed correctly, and I have a...

Should I have to shut down and reboot? If I do this with other prorgams, I get a prompt to select which program to open it with.
Oh well, I'll just do it the correct way from now on. Thanks for the...

:rainfro:If I try to open a bobcad file, and Bobcad is not already open, it will not open. I have to reboot to get it to work at all. Is this normal?

I have started predrilling at the plunge locations when possible. I think they are considering adding this feature in the next version/update.

in a nutshell....you cant with V22.

I'll use the menu instead of the tool bar and see what happens.
Thanks

I have a NIVIDA graphics card, would another type work better. I do get the unexpected shut down from time to time with the warning "resource unavalible"

I am. I use V22 pro and it does everything I want it to do.

I'm a beginner at this and don't know what a jet mill or 1018CR is. Wish I could help further. I think what I said about the feeds is correct. With a .25-4 flute carbide bit in aluminum I would...
