And I'll get all three ATC spindles running before June. MUST!!!!
In case anyone's still wondering - I did trace it down to a short in the wiring. I couldn't actually find the short, but I did find that shorting one of the 3 wires (didn't write down which one...
For those playing along at home - I'm pretty sure it's a bum wire.
Yesterday, the machine ran for about 10 or so hours grand total and had about 6 or so reset events. One time when I was...
Hey Ger,
The limit and home switches are the same, I'll have to check if I can disable them. That is slightly scary as I have had things go wrong, lost steps and had the limit switches save my...
After years and years of running with no problems, I started having random reset issues.
I've already checked all the usual suspects - electrical noise, loose connections etc. but still can't...
Ok, so I don't have an answer to my exact question but a suggestion that was given to me is to just set up the tool as a boring bar with the single offset that I have and use it like that.
E.g.:...
Yea, I got the advice from a well known YouTube machinist. The idea is to accurately clock the end mill such that one of the face cutting edges is used as a boring bar. The process would be to...
Using RapidTurn, I'd like to use an end mill as both a drill and a boring bar to make some plastic bushings. First, I should state I'm new to CNC turning, been running CNC routers for years and would...
Got a return call from tech support - haven't had a chance to try it yet but, he says a G0Y0 move should do what I'm after. I was testing with conversational which does not output a Y move.
Hope...
Anyone have any luck using the Y-offsets in PathPilot with the RapidTurn?
I'm new to the RapidTurn and I'm trying to get the Y-offset which is available in the offsets page offset table tab to...

Selling a barely used Little Machine Shop 7x16 Mini lathe that's been converted to CNC. This is a Turn Key package and...
I'm not in front of my controller but, I think if you change a value and hit apply, it will revert to whatever it was before. You have to change a value, hit ENTER, then hit apply. You can change...
You can find them at the start of this thread: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/uccnc-control-software/258242-uccnc-macro-sharing.html
Find the performance meter widget in win 7 (can't remember where to find it) and check your CPU utilization. I had an older machine and it was pegged when running UCCNC and I was getting comm...
Hi Jon,
If I remember correctly, the macro should work even with the fixed plate lower than Z-zero. What the macro does is store the difference between Z0 and the fixed plate in the axis C DRO. ...
Your max linear and corner error are set too high. Drop it down to .001" and see how it comes out.
I've had the same problem on an older machine with the UC100. Increasing the buffer size helped but I ended up buying a core duo machine which fixed it entirely. Use task manager or whatever it is...

In the upper right corner it reads "A free 1-year startup license is also available for hobbyists, enthusiasts, makers, and emerging...
Went to the Fusion 360 seminar last night and came away quite impressed. Although the CAD portion of isn't as fully developed as SolidWorks for certain things (e.g. configurations) many of the tools...
My post must have seemed like it came from left field - I clicked the wrong thread when I posted :P

Thanks Louie. I have to find the video because now that I'm thinking harder, I don't remember if he said "work on your models" or "view your models" or "access your models" or what. I'll ask for...
Oh...and yes, it is tight! I can do a 4" heel but if my stock is even a little taller than 4", I can't clear it!
I'm with you on this one Louie, I spent over $7k (list was $9k but I'm a very good negotiator ;) )for my CAD and CAM software about 5 years ago as well and I'm petrified of a cloud based solution and...
I actually checked out a video earlier today about transitioning from SolidWorks to Fusion and in the video, the guy says something like "before you ask, let's get this out of the way right away that...
The reason everyone is recommending Fusion these days is because it's a bundle of both 3D modeling software and HSM works CAM software. For the low low price of nothing, you get it all and can play...
Nice looking neck ;)
I was talking to Ger on the phone today and he told me about this thread. That is one of my necks cut on my raptor. It has about 5.5" clearance (6" to the extrusions but...
I just uploaded it here in case anyone else needs it. As I said, I can't remember what changes I made but they were very minor compared to mach 3. In fact, it may have been just some stuff in the...
Most of the red lines are insignificant. I modified my Mach 3 PP a bit to output for UCCNC. I can't remember the exact mods I did but I'd be happy to share if you're interested.
