Thanks

I have downloaded the screen set. I really like the layout and the fact that most everything needed in on the first screen. I will be spending several hours this weekend running projects...

Marris,
Instead of purchasing or leasing a machine. Recruit some loyal fans to beta test on their machines. I have a machine (Chinese Exitech 0609) that I am considering converting the control unit....

Look at cncrouterparts.com They have a new system that looks very good and not alot of $$$$$.

Hope this helps

Nice work Bill. You should go to vectic forum and post there also. A good source for tips and tricks.

In NX5 there was a change to the assembly proceedures. My best advice is spend 30 minutes with UG Cast on assemblies. This will explain the new functionality and where everything is located.

xjdubber,
That is the same machine I have and it will be an ER-16 collet. The collet taper is 1/2" to accept ER16. 3/8" shank will be the largest bit you can use. Magnate and Onsrude make a decent...

Use offset face. Otherwise, UG will send you into sketcher because there are no valid sketch curves in the workarea.

The site came up yesterday and have already purchased. Can't wait for the DVD to show up and get started.

If you need to design as well as machine then UG is good choice, but still need Vericut. If you are just taking customer files and setting tool paths, then stick with MasterCam with a stand alone...

Randy,
First, offset your customers model to achieve the necessary clearances. Then, construct a solid block, then subtract. The result will be cavity which represents the thermoform tool needed....

Jim, email is [email protected] I have an older version SR23.

Phil,
I only use a laptop to run Mach3 and an Exitech 0609 CNC Router.
The laptop is a Compaq Presario running XP Pro. Absolutely no issues with 3.3 or 5.0 ttl logic levels. The parallel port is...

Switcher,
I believe the marble is 7/16 and the bit to use is 1/2.

Had a similar problem using vcarve and mach3. after scratching my head and wasting several boards, i figured it out. check your code for very small vectors. i.e. I was trying to cut a cirlce that was...

I use vista and mach3 with no problems. At first, there were issues with video and screen freezes. By enshuring the most current video driver is installed, problems went away. Now the big question...
