Thats not upto me. I think he is waiting to see how things go, before he invest anymore money. I'm using the PRO version of 26 by the way not standard.

Thanks for taking the time to post the video...

Can't thank you guys enough. I was almost ready to toss my PC through the window. Now I can concentrate just on the machine strategy and tooling.

I really appreciate all your help jrmach. I just got in and will try again tomorrow, been a long day. Time for a cold beer and to relax for a while.

Its all one wire along the side so I'm guessing it has to be broken or added to in order to close the loop.
I have to go out now but I appreciate the help, I'm just getting frustrated, for something...

Wow BC is really counter intuitive. Whats the point of even having a "select geometry" option if it ignores it? The video I linked to thats all he is doing selecting the part of the piece he wants...

I'm using v26 and am having a helluva a time trying to select boundaries. I want to do this part in sections and I followed videos on boundary selection but BC seems to be ignoring what I select. For...

Well that did it, it works without the G43's.

Thanks for all your help Gerry.

We did at an earlier date suspect it might be tool compensation and did follow a tutorial on how to do that in mach but we didn't follow through with it. The only way you could use tool comp...

Yep i did follow your advice from your earlier post and installed the older version so we are now using 3.043.062. I tried first with the original macros that came with your screenset and then with...

Ok. We tried a simple zero and it would not work the first 3 or 4 times then all of a sudden it does, however it gave a soft limit warnning (z axis). Do you think the chinese motion board is the...

I was looking at this one.

UC300ETH-5LPT ethernet motion controller for Mach3

I'm guessing, judging by the amount of views, this is the one you're talking about.

Well it works, manily. Every once in a while it seems to glitch. We actually wrote down our step by step procedure to eliminate procedure as a cause. I could tell when the value was wrong after doing...

Thanks RCaffin and Machine head 57.

ger21 sent me some new scripts to try, I will also check all the things you mention when I'm back in the shop today. I do know for sure that we are set for tool...

Thanks ger21

email sent.

We are using a chinese controller, AKZ250 by leafboy.
Leafboy77 - Mach3 Usb Motion Card (AKZ250)

Is their a known issue with that particular controller? We were working on this for a couple of...

What could be a possible cause of the z-axis cutting about 2 times its programed depth. We zero the z with a puck touch plate 0.625" thick.

The axis is properly calibrated, we've used the machine...

Thanks SBC for the help.

I'm building just a simple (or I thought simple) jig table. All it is, is a x=31.75" and Y= 48.375" piece of mdf with 3/8" diameter holes at 4x4 spacing, its just so we can use dowels and clamps to...

We are making a jig for the table now. We ran into a hiccup on the tool change so we just bought the screenset 2010 from a forum member here. Even the first strategy z-level rough was giving better...

Whats the question?

I know my questions may seem ameteurish to you but we all started somewhere. I'm not a machinist, I'm trained in Electronic Engineering, the last time I used a CNC...

I'm trying to use the existing tools we have. The smallest is 0.125", thats why it's there. I tried to go with a larger radius on the fillets but BC was pretty inconsistent in what it...

I'm using v26 PRO. I've been playing with the wireframe, I select the bottom wireframe (geometry) and it ignores it. I tried some different tooling and it's coming out not to bad now but still...

I am making a mold it has a contoured bottom (hills and valleys). I'm able to clean out the bulk of mold fine using a z-level rough and two planar strategies. The problem I'm having is cleanning the...

Thanks Al.

Hi Al

I can't open your file it says it was saved with a newer version. I'm using v26.

Awsome Al thank you.

He wants it all raised for now it's a prototype so he wants to try the text and image in various places and sizes to see what looks best.

Hi Al

I sent you the logo. I also sent you pictures of the part so you can see what I'm trying to do. I haven't joined your FB yet but I will.
I appreciate all the videos you put up, they have...

Hi Al

We are running Pro with Bobart.

I asked my employer if I could attach it, and he said no. I can send it to your *webinar email if thats ok with you? Subject logo.

I'm sure it's...

Thanks BurrMan

I'm new to BobCad a couple of weeks of use.

What I'm trying to do is put a company logo on a part, he wants it raised not carved into the part. The part is completed and has a...

Thanks AL. I was at that webinar actually.

Unfourtanetly that isn't really helping me. Is there any reason in v26 as to why I wouldn't be able to project an imported and vectorisied image on to a...
