What cutters were used in the fish? Was it V carved or follow the line?

I have been using Eagle and PCBgcode for several years and just had a upgrade for Jave to 1.8. PCBgcode now errors that it needs Jave 1.7. Is there anything that I can do?
Grandpa Jay

I found the problem. I had to enter a value of about 300 in the debounce on the general config page. Cheep limit switches.
Jay

I am finally getting around to setting the machine up properly. In the past Ref All Home just zeroed the DRO's. Which was fine, being from the old school before computer control of any kind. I...

207914I have this Nativity from somewhere in the past.

I use a font called ISO, it is a single line font but has a lot of Z up and down.

Not in Raleigh but close, Fuquay Varina. Home made 14 x 24 just for fun. Experimenting with inlay.

I have downloaded DotG, but can not get to any of the help information. How did you get the image into the program?
Grandpa Jay

Thank you very much.
If I would do what it says instead of what I think that it said it would be better. I'm not getting old, grandma died at 97, I still have 25 years to go.

Grandpa Jay

I have followed all the directions that I can find and it still does not work.

Ports and Pins, OEM 1&2, Port 1, Pins 11 & 13, (Start & Stop).
Above results same if manual or automatic.

On...

Thank You
For now I will just redo the part. It's not a complicated part.

Is it possible to make miner changes to the drawing and have cambam update the saved cb file with the new dxf?
Grandpa Jay

I like it. What are you using to control the servo? More information would be appreciated.
Thanks
Grandpa Jay

Thanks, I knew that? It's hell getting old.
Jay

Some how I lost the fine jog. When I push the key I get continues jog not the step as set. This happens in all directions. The Shift key has no effect. It is probibly a setting that I changed,...

It looks like both options work very well. If the DXF layers all have the same 0,0 then use the toolpath visibility. If the layers are at differnt locations on the DXF then use the Set machining...

Thank You, I will give this a try.
Grandpa Jay

I have a puzzle that is in three layers. When I use layer two I am not able to hide the toolpaths from layer one. When I get to layer three the view is quite cluttered with all the toolpaths. I am...

So it is not setting 0,0,0 for that machining operation.
Thank You
Grandpa Jay

When I enter a Start Point for Part 2 it does not transfer to Mach3.
Help will be appreciated.
Thank You
Grandpa Jay

That would be neat, but it's a little beyound the capabilities of my JGRO maachine.
Grandpa Jay

Thank You again. I scaled the original by 0.08 in AutoCad whitch brings the total set length down to just over 9 inches. I offset the tooth profile in CamBam by .004". CamBam generated the Gcode...

If you scale them all the same, it should work.
Grandpa Jay

Yes, I have Mach3. Also AutoCad and CamBam. The problem that I see is the tool path off set by the beam radius of 0.05mm. That makes the dxf touth thicker and the gullet thinner. AutoCad will not...

Thank you gentleman for all the files. Now the fun begins. First I have to get into Inch. Then try to figure out the amount of offset, or would that just be a small scale factor?

Do you have the dxf files for the three gears shown in the picture? I would love to try them on my CNC mill.
Grandpa Jay

I think that I found it. You can not climb cut Engrave.
Jay

This is weard. When I open CamBam and draw a rectangle, do a profile op and generate tool path, I get convintional direction. If I then change only the style to climb cut, it works. The little...
