Just want to provide an update. While I’m not 100% certain, I did figure out there were some settings in the Tool Table that might’ve been causing my problems. I have since cleared the table (&...

Jim,

Yes I measured and the bits were fine. That would make sense if my circle cuts for OD were off too. However I’m only struggling with ID cuts.

Thank you for the response. I was also trying to mill some .875 holes with a .250 milling bit and had to tweak the settings to say my bit diameter was .241 in order to get the proper diameter. This...

Ok this one really has me confused! My Series 1 has an issue with milling the inner diameter of any circles. I’ve tried conversational, pocketing, profiling both conventional and climb milling and...

That would be great! I’m looking for gcode that shows tool length offset as now that seems to be my stumbling block. Thank you in advance!

On a side note, may I ask what Cad Cam package you are working with? I’ve been using BobCAD and recently having problems with my post. I’m looking for other sample posts on this machine to see what...

Congratulations! I know that feeling as I was really bumming about the monitor and it doesn’t seem like there is much documentation on EZ Vision to fall back on. Glad it worked out.

As a matter of fact I did fix it. The CMOS battery was dead and the BIOS got screwed up. It’s a very simple fix if you’re not afraid to take things apart. There’s a bunch of short Phillips screws...

Ahhhhhh! Now I think I got it. I was trying to figure out a way to align the part once it’s flipped. It doesn’t matter if I drop the part into the fixture after it’s been machined and run the tool...

Jim, I like MDF and bit idea. If I make a mirror image into a fixiplaye, how do I make sure it’s positioned perfectly? I can reference and origin off a bolt hole but not sure about the rotation of...

Thanks for the reply. Yes this is a one-off and the material is the correct thickness. I can follow your logic but can’t figure how to set my origin of the part perfectly, since none of the geometry...

Yes, that's what I'm referring too. I want to use a corner rounding end mill to add rounded edges in the pockets and outside edges.

First off, let me state clearly that I am a hobbiest. I am fortunate to have a Series 1 Bridgeport with EZ Vision. I have recently purchased BobCad and took my first 3-day class this week. Having...

I'm a hobbyist with a nice BP Series 1 with EZ Vision. Turned it on this week and the screen is screwed up. I've opened up the pendent and checked for loose connections, etc. I do not know how to...

First off I want to say thank you to all that have been contributing to this site. I have been a quiet stalker for a year or so as I was deciding whether or not to get into the game. I'm happy to...
