I think I remember reading an old post by a user rsdi? stating u need to change the network ip address to something like 10.10.10.1.

You need to make 2 chains, inner and outer profiles. Select the outside chain, create a pocket feature(from 2d mill bar), under one of the tabs there's a box to pick the island(pick inner chain). If...

Our shop has a TF25 lathe that is getting slbus errors on bootup. They used to be able to shut it down an restart and it would be good to go, now its stuck. Any help on where to start looking would...

I bought a series 2 5-6 years ago for 5500. Non Atc/pdb. Came w/ a bunch of holders,vise,stand. I'd say you'd be in the 8-9k but if u start higher u can always go down.

Check your parallel port cable and/or re seat the mesa card inside the pc.

If your cutter is not exactly .500 that would...

Google "craftycnc"

Reseat all your ribbon cable connections, make sure you don't have a bent pin on the parallel port bulkhead connector. Mine was loose once and it acted the same way.

You can break up ea tool as a separate sub program if needed
