Thanks, I'll try that
Can you do conditional execution but not in a subroutine in PathPilot? I'm trying to do this:
IF [#5400 EQ 516] G52 X1.2129 Y-1.0493 Z0.4972 (Position Tool #516)
IF [#5400 EQ 502] G52 X1.0592...
I can do it for you. Please share your fusion tool library in csv format.
Saunder's NYC CNC website has a page on threadmilling. It has links to videos and spreadsheets to help with calculations:

I figured it out. The DIP switches on the driver board were on the wrong setting..
I have a 6" superspacer (P/N 34123) 4th axis. When it's rotating slowly, it's losing steps. I think stepper motors have less power when moving in partial-step increments. Any ideas how to remedy...

Thanks. I'll check it out
Can you share your Pi Pico program?
They said they were doing some maintenance. It's working now.
Quality seems very good. Runout is similar to the Tormach holders.
I've had good luck with icarbide.com and prices are great. My orders are delivered pretty quickly, I believe they have a warehouse in California. I think they are on vacation until March 25th. ...
When I use the ETS to set my tool length, after it touches off, the Z axis retracts all the way up to the limit switch (or just shy of the limit switch). Is there a way to have Z only retract to the...
I have a Dynabrade filter/regulator/lubricator combo on my compressed air line going to my power draw bar. The power draw bar doesn't use much air. Even when no air is being used, the oiler makes a...
Even if the contacts are corroded, it should still show as open when the probe tip is moved. I removed the top section where the 4 screws are, but I can't figure out how to take it apart any further.
I have an Acu-rite KT-3D edge finder I got from my father's shop as he was getting rid of everything. I would like to use it on a CNC router (ShopBot). The way the router works for touching off is...
Peter, what version of Mint is PathPilot shipping with? I upgraded to PP v2.x when it came out a few years ago and it's on Mint Rosa v17.3. Latest Mint is Cinnamon v20.
I renamed the file pointercal.xinput so Pathpilot wouldn't use it. Then I started PathPilot, it asked me if I wanted to calibrate my touchscreen. I answered no and the touchscreen works fine now. ...
I found a file called pointercal.xinput
The contents are:
xinput set-int-prop "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController" "Evdev Axis Calibration" 32 1466 1321 2299 1270
xinput set-int-prop "eGalax Inc....
Are you talking about Preferences on the Planar monitor's menu or the Mint O/S? I couldn't find anything like this in either place. I'm not familiar with an xinput file. What is that?
I ordered a new touchscreen, it's a 15" cocar. It has the same problem as my Planar - when I touch it the cursor goes to a completely different part of the screen. I did notice something...
I did a test using the adaptive clearing toolpath, it worked great.
Thanks for the info. No, I'm not going to plunge into the material at the corner, I still need to tweak the toolpath a bit.
I haven't machined 304 stainless before. I know it can work harden, so I have to make sure I don't take light cuts. My stock is 0.09" thick plate. I need to cut out a few pieces that are about 1"...
I'm looking for suggestions on measuring runout on new toolholders that I buy. There are several source of runout. You have the spindle, TTS holder, the ER collet, the ER nut and the end mill. I...
I'm brand new to EZCAD3. I see the file extension is .ez3. I've never used EZCAD2, but I think the file extension is ezd. I have some ezd test grid files I downloaded from JeffryJ's YouTube video...
I figured it out. I need to open EZCAD using "Run as Administrator" option. Now if I change something in the configuration screen, it's saved.
In EZCad 3 I'm trying to set the calibration file location. I hit F3, then in the calibration section I go to File and navigate to the NinePointCor.cor calibration file. The I close the dialog box. ...
ok, thanks.
I have a 60 gallon 5 HP US General air compressor. It has a 2 to 3/4 reducing bushing for the output air. I'd like to change this to 2 to 1" bushing. Does anyone know how hard these are to remove?
