the algorithms used in the machine control use a format as shown in the diagram, where (0) degrees is at the 3 "o" clock position and (+)value degrees produce an anticlockwise motion.

That is a small number of components. If you have ever seen the Humbrol Chocolate money box on sale in argos. the mold for that is made of Aluminium and it has made in excess of 1,000,000 mouldings...

Not quite sure what you are asking here. Is it an aluminium part that you want to make in plastic or is it a protective box for your aluminium or is it a die casting mould you require. Or is it a...

I once made a large Aluminium mould for a 4ft long frame the air escaping from the corners produced so much heat escaping, the aluminium melted at the corners which had to be replaced with steel...

Looking at a pic of your machine it appears the spindle is in the Y axis, I am unfamiliar with this type of machine but maybe you are working in the XZ plane(G18) and therefor the plane needs to be...

It appears DMS uk is different to what you can obtain in USA.we can obtain products from the USA so I would Imagine If you ask they can get you parts from the UK....

Ball bushes can be found in the online DMS Cat in section 5 page 14.
at least thats what Im getting here in the UK.

I presume from the prog that this is a lathe. I am not familiar with lathes but if you have a drawing of the part you are machining and also a bit more of your programme I might be able to help. ive...

sounds like the end points are out somewhere post your programme

My own suggestion would be to abandon the project altogether and not add to the growing knife problem.

Allow for one or the other component to be slack until you have shots off the mould then adjust the sizes till you get the fit you require

It also makes sense to specify the machine the control and also put a few punctuation marks in sentences. Some of the posts are a joke we ought to start a new forum with all the worst examples...
