Are there any updates to the turning?
Not been able to successfully get G76 or G96 working from BobCAM V4. I believe G96 does not work in Mach 3. Not sure about G76 but if you want I can send you my edited lathe post processor to try?
Hi All
Just got a call relating to updating to V5 for SolidWorks
Just wondering what updates were made to the turning side in V28.
Thanks in advance.
I wont be purchasing SolidWorks 2015 or any new Office software or MS Operating systems beyond Win 10 as they are/will all (be) subscription based. The cloud drew the line for me.
Sounds like a beta. Weird it was released and V5 isn't out till Q1 2016

Normally using solidworks the fusion CAD is pretty much the same. One thing I don't like is not being able to rotate the part using the scroll wheel button. Need to spend a bit more time on the CAM...
Here is a copy of the edited Mach 3 Mill post I use which is ATC compatible.
Yes. Looks good. I didn't think it could do face grooving but it can. You just have to make a tool for the job. Will be trying it more this week. I want a system that do face grooving and boring well...
I will have to wait till Jan/Feb for V5 for SW. Generally is there many diffrences between V27 and 28. I bet that stock bug will be in V5 lol.

I would weigh up how much you use it. I think the forum is the best support for free. You get the software install it and use it. Not really sure what support do for you. You can report bugs and it...
I have a Mach 3 post for an ATC if you need?
So I repeated the crash test per the instructions and surely enough CRASH CRASH CRASH. No crash on BobCAM V4.
Upgraded the PC to 16GB ram today and tested the edit function with no crashes.
I must get more RAM for the PC and see if that cures it. Both computers have the same software build and OS and settings. Only diff is 8GB
I was using the second seat in the workshop today and first part crash at Edit Setup on the workshop PC. I hadn't realized that it was a common problem. I tend to create most of the CAD and toolpaths...
So I have 2 seats of BobCAM V4 Pro Mill/Lathe
One has the Machine Sim Pro Option and its is all setup and works fine.
When I take a model and open on the other PC and try to sim the problem as...
It is strange. I have 2 seats of V4. One rarely crashes and the other consistently crashes SolidWorks when editing the stock or machine setup.
I have started learning Fusion 360 in parallel with using BobCAM for SolidWorks as with the new support system I doubt I will be able to afford the upgrade (pending actual pricing review)
Have not...
No luck with the finish for the bore face.
Added a point to the back for the cutoff position - Worked
I have always felt the turning CAM in BobCAD has lagged behind the milling. This is a...
Having some problems trying to create some turning toolpaths:
1. Boring finish run doesn't seem to finish the face surface?
2. Want to cut down to the 6mm diameter and I have tried groove and...
I downloaded the trial and have to say very impressed. I would stick with SW for CAD but to be fair the CAM side is neat and package is free. Thought it couldn't do face grooving but it can. Could be...
In terms of CAM capabilities. Fusion seems to now support turning. Is there advantages of one over the other. I currently use V4 Mill Pro/Lathe
Just wondering what are the advantages of BobCAM over Fusion 360
Reinstalled V4 via a repair install tool and all seems good. Phew lol.!!!!!!
As in the title
V2 V3 and V4 were installed on the computer.
I removed V2 however when I open SolidWorks BobCAM is no longer there as a addin?
Anyone have any ideas?
Hi All
Has anyone upgraded to Win 10. Is there nay risk of using BobCAM with W10?
As the title suggests with V28 out is there a V5 on route?
Not sure if there is any new features I would need except tabbing in 2D milling of profiles but improvements to the lathe side would be...
Hi. I have spent some time editing a Mill ATC and Lathe ATC post for Mach 3. I would be happy to share with you. Not sure its what you need but you can try out if you like.
Def wrong forum for your post.
I would suggest checking out Centroid CNC
CENTROID CNC control features, USB port for USB storage device, large color lcd and color path graphics with cutter comp...
