I bought Design Expert in 2011. I really liked the program. I would frequently use it in conjunction with Rhino. However, when 3DS purchased it several years ago, I saw the writing on the wall as 3DS...

Hi Folks,

Is Machintek AKA George still around on this forum?

Thanks,

Many Thanks to Dickeybird!! I wasn't thinking in DOS mode. He jarred my noggin' with the old 8 character naming protocol. After renaming one of the programs within the 8 character limitation and in...

Hi Andrew,

I did try to change the file extension from .nc to .T but nothing changed. I also tried to do that in WordPad on the Win98 machine connected to the MAX thinking that maybe re-saving it...

Another user just posted a similar question about his recently acquired MAXNC mill. I'm putting up a new post as I don't want to hijack his original post.

I'm trying to change out the motor and spindle bushings on one of my Series II NC machines this weekend. I've bolted up the spring collar to the bottom plate under the motor, removed the circlip from...

Hi,

Of course, it always happens at the end of a project with one last series of parts to make. One of my Bridgeport Series II NC's S/N T313 (I have two of them S/N T313 and T1344) was having a...

Hi,

We recently purchased some Bridgeport Series II NC Machines with 4HP heads (6000 pounders, not the 2000 pound original BP variety) that have been converted to Mach3 with steppers. While we...

Greetings,

I have been experiencing difficulties and admittedly, some frustration using DeskCNC to create some of my parts that were designed with Rhino. As a control, I took several .stl's that I...
