    Re: Remove extra pass

    I tweaked both the air segment and the stepover to get it where it is now. I was able to get the face feature to work but setting the number of passes manually. The issue is the face feature doesnt...

  9. Re: Does any one knows how to change defaultl settings in CamWorks

    The TechDB is where most of you default setting. If you already have the operation made you can change it under the optimize tab. I use this similar to a copy(save) and paste(load).

    I had this same issue. My plan was to modify the Mach III post but UPG wouldn't open it. I messed around with a few other and just making a change in UPG made them so they wouldn't open again. The...
  11. Re: UCCNC PROBE G31 NOT WORKING MOST OF THE TIME

    Everything else is working correct and the probe function is messing up without any wires being use. What type of wiring issue do you think could cause this?
  12. Re: UCCNC PROBE G31 NOT WORKING MOST OF THE TIME

    Sorry for the poor description. It all made sense in my head, lol. What I meant to say was when it is malfunctioning the lights don't flash. That is to say I don't think it is getting a false...
  13. Re: UCCNC PROBE G31 NOT WORKING MOST OF THE TIME

    The probe works fine when you trip it manually or if the machine desides to move. You can see both the light on the ub1 change and on the diagnostic page.

    I made sure when I call the g31 the ...
  14. Re: UCCNC PROBE G31 NOT WORKING MOST OF THE TIME

    I just downloaded uccnc a couple weeks ago. I am guessing it is the latest version. Sorry, not near the mill right now.

    I was calling it through the single line on the main screen or using the...
  15. UCCNC PROBE G31 NOT WORKING MOST OF THE TIME

    When I call g31 for the probe the system will either not move at all or work perfectly. I thought it might be a loose connection or interference but I had it do a long move and tapped on the probe,...

    If I put 5VDC on AH1 won't AO1 be AC?
  18. Help with UB1 Spindle Control for PM 30MV

    The UCCNC UB1 already have a PWM, can I use that to get 0-5VDC? Is there a way to bypass the AnaSpeed circuit? There is no AC voltage. All I have is the 24VDC and 5VDC from the UB1 and 5VDC from the...

    Just what I had sitting on the shelf. As long as you are greasing at regular interval anything with moly in it will be good enough. At Least that is my opinion.

    One the MV30 I was able to get away with changing to 90 degree zerk fitting. Only thing I had to do was remove some material for clearance for the Y.

  21. Re: started my cnc conversion for Precision Matthews PM-25MV Mill

  22. Re: started my cnc conversion for Precision Matthews PM-25MV Mill

    What I did for an estimate on for the 30MV was take my hardest material to cut, SS 304 for me, and guessed at my the toughest cut. I used https://fswizard.com/www/ to get some rough numbers and if...

  25. Re: started my cnc conversion for Precision Matthews PM-25MV Mill

    The clearpath motor are only 4lbs and less than 4" long. I don't think a counter weight is required. If something was needed I would just shift the workpiece closer to the side with the motor on it...

    How was the quality on your PM25? I am in the middle of my conversion on the 30MV. The biggest issue was when I moved any of the axis before I tore it down there was a horrible grinding noise from...
