I can't seem to get a boring bar to work, how do I setup a boring bar in tool setup to bore the face of a shaft. I don't see a boring tool path.
any help would be very helpful

You just need the correct pot.
Don
You can add a switch to the drive along with a pot to control speed.
Don
I'm not sure but one of the buttons should scroll thur hz, rpm, amps.
Don
60 X Hz = rpm
60 X 300 = 18000 RPM
60 X 400 + 24000 RPM
you should be putting out 18000 RPM. Hope this helps

I am having trouble getting Mach3 to do a profile cut using Dolfincam. I get a Radius end of arc differs from radius start. I'm using the T_Mach3DCSS post processor. I'm cutting a ball on the end of...
I use a Nextengine scanner which works very well but takes a lot longer.
Just wondering what your trying to scan and what results are you getting. I wonder if they are using the sensor from the old xbox kenect or maybe the new one from the xbox one which is much better...
It would be a Rhino shape. I want to put a head on the top of a rocker and want to take out a section to match the top post. The head would be make of a different wood then the back post.
Thanks for...
I want to import a STL file into Rhino and use a solid to divide it but not having any luck. Is there a file type other than the native Rhino file that will work.
Thanks

I finally ask for a refund and they were very quick to issue it to me. I do think they need to improve their shipping and customer support as I could never get a firm answer from anyone.
Ok, doesn't look good. they have a lot of complaints on their facebook page.
Thanks
Don
If your thinking of buying a cubify 3d scanner don't. I ordered one 10 days ago and they keep telling me new ship dates. Today they sent me a email saying they didn't know when it would ship. I...
Looks good John as always.

I like that idea, I have one router which I made with v-wheels that works well and a shopbot PRT that has a rounded rail that I don't like as much. I had to machine the v rails on my mill and that...
Nice machine, is the rails for v wheels or did you use bearings. I have a prt shopbot converted to Mach and using the same drives. I didn't think it would run as good as it does. Again nice machine...

Thanks Lex, I see it and have the ability to check that box now. Are the parameters shown on page 99 basiclly offsets for when the block rotates to rezero the work piece.
I'll play around with it...
On page 99 of the tutorial it shows a setup page. I can not find that page using the instruction listed. in the program in part parameters it has two check boxed and "use rotational-axis tilt option...
I was going to build a tilt table for my indexer. I think I have the idea of how it works but it's far from a true 5 axis. It doesn't do simultaneous axis machining. I use Deskproto for all my rotary...
I love using Deskproto but don't think it will let you do 5 axis using mach3. If so I'm missing something. Hopefully the next version will. Also the pop up messages should be a little clearer....
What?

Thanks, everything works great using the digital operator. It sounds like it could be the pd071 setting. I can adjust the speed with the pot but it never goes above 50hz and my max is 120hz. I'm...
I'm trying to setup mine with a remote speed control. I'm using a 10k pot but can't get it to do better than half speed. What am I doing wrong?
