Haven't used any of my machines in a while, but when I did, I used to use CNC Simulator from here: http://cncsimulator.info/download
It's been updated since I last used it. I believe that it is...
I just tried to attach the .PDF file, but at 73 megs it's too big.
Oh, Looks like this link is still good:

Hey Morgan,
Yeah the Ahha control definitely has some oddities. Let's see if I can remember a few... It is radius mode only. X coordinates are negative if you use a front tool post. Most (if...
Yeah, the .nc file and some information on what the lathe is doing wrong. Are any of the moves what you expect?
Ha! Well, that answers my post question. :)
Do you have a sample program that you've tried to run? We'll figure it out.
Oh, I think you might want to take a look here before we do anything. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-post-processor-forum/prolight-intelitek-3000-cnc-lathe-post/m-p/6433901/highlight/true#M10373...
Does this look like the manual for your controller? http://www.intelitekdownloads.com/Manuals/CNC/Obsolete/proLIGHT_3000_WIN_Manual.pdf

The post processors in Fusion 360 are written in javascript and very easy to modify. My CNC lathe uses an AhHa controller that has quite a few unconventional gcodes but I was able to easily make it...

Hi,
Hopefully you've been able to resolve this issue by now. If not, I would recommend that perhaps you try using something like the "Turret" value in the tool library to specify front or back...
I only glanced at the video, but someone posted on the Facebook group either yesterday or today about how they patched their Z axis way cover after a few holes were burnt through it. I think they...

Yeah, guess I should have mentioned that. And the caveat - Unless you're one of those MAC people...
Looking at the tormach.cps, there is only one place where the M998 is added.
Do a search for "writeBlock(mFormat.format(998));" and either delete it or put "//" in front of it to comment it out....
I know experience with this particular lathe may be somewhat rare, so can someone at least confirm my belief that there is usually a nut or some sort of retainer on the back side of the spindle?

Dan,
If you go to the Pocket NC YouTube channel where they take you step by step on how to cut the impeller with Fusion 360, you can see that they are clearly just doing 3D + indexing of the part....
I've been working on replacing the electronics on this little D&M 5 lathe and converting over to Mach 3.
There's a bit of play and a slight "crunchiness" when turning the spindle so I'd like to...
The 3000H is the larger of the two. The 3000 is the bench top model. The stand is part of the 3000H.
Looks like the 3000 weighs about 550 lbs whereas the 3000H is over 1000.

I don't believe you'll find references to any G code, M code, or any codes within the CAM tool. The post processor is responsible for turning the CAM operations into code for whatever particular...
So actually you get a warning if you leave the WCS set to 0, you probably just don't see it because it's just a warning and it get's deleted. Not sure how this works on the Mac, but on a PC if you...
Actually, those plans were from back before Tormach offered any other options... :) When I bought my mill back in 2005 Tormach didn't have any type of stand for sale. The only thing Greg had to...
I thought that bottom left part looked familiar... Maybe I'm spending a little too much time on the Fusion 360 forum. :)

HA! I read this, looked to the left and saw your avatar, and immediately recognized THE BEARD! :) After having watched your Sparkfun New Product videos for years, it's good to see you back on...
Ok... looking at the BobCad website I see that they do support rough turn, finish turn, and grooving canned cycles. So perhaps it will output RECTANGLE and NOTCH cycles...
Dave
So from what I see in my manual, the canned cycles that the Dyna control supports are THREAD, DRILL, RECTANGLE, TRIANGLE, ARC 1, ARC 2, NOTCH, and CHAMFER (?).
I would be extremely surprised if...
Even for just holding the fogbuster nozzle like you were discussing here??
According to the 3000 manual, the recommended spindle speed was 800 / lead (in mm). So for a 12 tpi thread the spindle speed should be 800 / 2.11666 or 377 rpm?
According to the 3000H manual...
