Ok, I just drew the same profile at home and ran the toolpath with the correct orientation and it cut just fine. I did the exact same thing at work and it gets real screwy.. The one thing I might...

OK it must be something I'm doing wrong, I have selected the right orientation for boring and even selected the correct tooling from the tool list, When I Machine my part it is following the external...

No that only orientates the turning operation, example if your carriage is on a slant bed of one in a conventional position in front of the operator, it has other uses but does not determine offsets...

I have ver 23 with the lathe package, Under the cam tree I have every turning option there is but nothing defining boring work. I have found the tool selection that has ID tooling but when I select...

Great information guys, I will check that out today. I selected a feature for each pocket. The Z move was a feed move as well as the reposition across the mold face.
Where do you get a list of the...

No The rapid plane is set to .1 all the other tooling moves used it well, even the finish mill made the retract plane in the pocket it was machining, The only move at Z-0-was the move between...

Actually the mold is not complete, but for all practical purposes it is, I had one scare, when the finish tool moved from one pocket to the next, it did so at Z0, I fortunately touched it off on a...

Very good point, Personally I don't understand why you wouldn't use a good water soluble coolant in the first place. Spray misters work well for that if your in a situation where flood coolant is not...

Spray mister's They work for any medium and keep chips cleared as well.

Someone posted a link to the site that offers a spring loaded pinion setup, I'm having trouble locating it. Is the post still in this thread? (Just my opinion on collective error in one direction...

Up date: After going through an uninstall of both editor programs and reinstalling them my verify problem has been solved, However when I open up predator virtual editor I don't get a NEW command...

Could you direct me to a place I can get more information on that type of system? I'm currently running a Bett's 148" swing 96' between centers with two carriages under CNC control, The Monkey tail...

I'm at work now, 32 bit XP and still no verify also the predator editor is in demo mode even though the license says it's licensed through bob cad.

Thank you so much! It's the little things that count the most aint it!!!!
I was on the bob cad site looking for an update to the V23. Where do you go to find them?
I am running Vista 64 bit....

manual machinist deal with backlash on a move by move basis. Loading your axis is the only was to deal with it. Rack an pinion is a gear to gear mesh that will by design have backlash, loss of...

Yes it's the licensed version. I just got it last week. I had to reinstall it once already, but it's up and running fine. Well all but that part. I didn't buy support, Does this fall under that? To...

I have completed a mold program, Roughing and finishing, The problem is when I try to verify it tells me no data to verify, I have reselected the stock geometry several different ways, Edited the...

Have you changed how vista runs the program under the properties menu? Right click on the icon and go the compatibility, click on disable desktop composition, and click on run as admin. Do this after...

delete the icon and go to the program folder, look for the bobcamv23 exe file, right click on send to desktop as shortcut, If your running vista be sure to set the properties up like you did when...

I got the manual as an add on, I upgraded V22 mill to V23 pro that has the

g28 normally with an axis called on my machines, but when your home position is 30" away sometimes that's not always a good option. I don't have problems with tool change positions.
