I'm just so tired of trying to find a way to get a relatively accurate solution worked out. I know it mostly comes down to getting a machine with good repeatability and then dialing it in with dial...

Yeah I dig it's impossible compared to the manual method, of course. It's a small machine, 130 mm z travel only. It only uses 1/8 inch shaft tools. Usually quite small tools, I use tools a quarter...

Hm. Z containment? Never heard of it. I can check it out.

I did talk to bobcadcam tech support as I used that too for a while and they said they couldn't do what I wanted without creating extra...

Smart idea to change the pulley, I hadn't thought of that. Sounds like the most practical solution to me.

Sorry re what I said about spindle motors, I thought that was how it was, I need to brush...

I have wanted this quite a number of times over the years, but not least because even with the laborious creation of geometry, there are still serious problems with some of the toolpaths that I have...

No, this won't work at all. The motor used in a spindle which the vfd can control is totally different. It's a synchronous motor. It spins at the speed of the frequency sent to it. That's why they...
