Hey, I just spotted this thread.

Your 20x20 'box' is really just a single flat surface. PShape expects a solid to have volume. So because your box is not connected to enough other surfaces to...

I'm currently working as a freelance (cad designer). I've been CNC'ing over 20 years (up to 7 axis under manual programming), CAD/CAM'ing since 1998 (mostly powershape & powermill).
I've been 3d...

The reason I asked is that I could probably be the cheapest consultant you could wish for as I'd kill for some seven axis & robot machining experience :)

I think it's common knowlegde that powermill is among the high-end leaders. Horses for courses and all that. By concidence I was watching some vids on Delcam.tv today;

I've seen them come into new jobs and be perceived as not very capable because they can't or won't use such systems and they'd rather take longer over writing code that could have one tiny human...

Ok, now I see what you're doing. At least with tracking the machine positions during execution of an nc program.

Here's my thoughts..

I don't see how a close wrong point could be mistaken for...

Hi Mark,

Hi,

I've been using a TM2 for some time.

Keep you cutter dia's small. Geof is right about their limited torque, I refer to mine as a Toy Room mill. I wouldn't recommend going over 2" really. ...

This sounds like a mis-match of reverse engineering and inspection, each has it's own requirements / tools & software..

(Please answer the questions if you want any more help, I need to understand...
