Thanks for your replies BAMCNC and Mike. Well I have to confess Mike you nailed it. I went back and took a long hard look at centre alignments a few days ago, and they were off by, guess what...2.5...

Hellllooo! Any clues...anyone? If not..... NASA R&D here I come. :rolleyes:

Hi all,
Firstly apologies if I am posting to the wrong forum, but I couldn't locate a more suitable discussion page as my problem may be program initiated or machine, however I feel it's more setup...

A follow-up to the above.

Darebee's response above got me thinking a bit more. To me, I thought, it would make sense for Mecsoft to allow the programmer to choose his/her preference of rotation,...

Thanks Darebee. And all this damn time I've taken it as being 'positional'. Now THAT explains are few weird things. :tired:

Cheers

Hi Guys,
I am about to ask a question which may seem basic to most I'm sure, however just for clarification purposes, here goes.

When setting up the Axis Table Rotation for 4th axis operation,...

It's something I've been working on for about 20 months now and these are the molds that I'm currently making. So I'd prefer not to show anything at this stage. Bit of a 'world' first actually.
I'd...

@scrapper400

No problems. I hope you have success and my experience is a help to you and others. I've been happily machining for the last 2 days without any further Gremlins getting in the way. :D

:D Pardon me if I pat myself on the back, but I solved this problem. Only took me 3 days. :tired:

To view the solution go to:

Eu...friggin...reka! I mean really.....Eureka!

For those who might stumble down the same path as I, to save you countless hours of frustration and rooting around...here is the answer, the resolve,...

@victorfga

Thanks for your worthwhile suggestion. I have tried to do as you recommended eg rotating the surfaces 90 each then machining as required. The problem there is, the final MOp run will be...

Good call. I've spent hours on Youtube previously but hadn't anything like you describe. Can you throw me a name or a link to help with my search???

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Guys,
(Firstly..apologies, I had this post originally located in Artcam. Not being able to re-locate the Thread, I have duplicated it here. Hope I don't cause any strife for doing so.)

Well I...

:( Yeah wish it was that easy. But sadly (having tried all that), the result comes out the same. The opposite or rather opposing side to that being shown in the simulation gets machined in the...

:tired: Well that was a short lived celebration!

Unfortunately what I thought was a solution, turned out to be just another brick wall.

When I ran the new G-Code in Mach 3, upon reaching the...

:D Problem solved!

Having tried numerous MOp variations, to a point of confusion, applying -ve values to the Table Rotation Angle has set the correct tool paths in place. One would think that...

Again thanks for your assistance. If you get a moment I have now another issue I'm trying to resolve with this task which you may be able to enlighten me upon which I would welcome....

Hi Guys,
(Firstly apologies if this is the wrong Forum to be posting to, I couldn't locate a more appropriate one)

Well I am lost on this one! I have set up a 4 sided project (which I have done...

:o Problem solved...I think.
I reset WCS and re-aligned Part and Stock (which I'm sure I've already done???) in Rhinocam and noticed the part display jump about 2mm right of Y axis. (Measuring the...

Hi Guys,
I'm throwing my hand up here for help. You know, like a guy who is drowning and going down for the 3rd time. :)
I seem to have developed a problem (well I've never noticed before in 18...

Success! I solved the problem. I needed to expand the machinable area (set by curves) to avoid toll clashing with stock. My MOP was correct all...

Hi Guys,
Using Rhinocam Pro, I am trying to machine a rather basic rectangular piece (as shown) using my 4 axis setup.

I have setup up the MOP using 4th Axis Roughing to machine the top surface,...

Thanks guys for your input. I think you're both right on the money. That strategy had gone through my mind (very quickly) but looking for a fast fix avoiding extra work I was hoping in a way that I'd...

Hi Guys,
I have been visiting this forum for quite some time now (it's brilliant) and have finally plucked up the nerve (...well had to) to ask a 'probably lame' question in the hope that someone...

Hi. Sorry to burst your bubble hspalm, but it looks like an old model board revisited. I purchased the same 3 axis 'red' board' from China back in Dec 2009. A few months ago the blue ones appeared....

Hi all,
I've been registered for some months now and have found this Forum to be an ocean of information and expertise. I have a dilemma which I am hoping someone with more experience might be able...

Phil,
Thanks mate for your reply. All I can say is dah!. That's what it will be. I did mess about with the motor tuning early this morning, some 18 hours ago. It's now 12.45 am here in OZ and my...

Hi,
Apologies for asking what is probably a pretty lame question, but I am a newbie using Rhinocam.

My frustration is, when I post-process my finished part, in this case a simple block ready for...
