Hi
it seems we are the only ones as i had zero response to my request above :)
I managed to sell it all and am now retired though.
I am looking to clear out my CNC building supplies - i am not building anymore as retiring.
I have a seriously large amount of pneumatics stuff, electrical cabinet building stuff, PSU's, switches,...
Very nice, that Z drive is the way i should have gone, about as tight as it can get i reckon.
Cube looks good too. ;)
It should work, lots of ways to do this.
Watch out for backlash in the quill rack/pinion, might not be an issue but good to remember.
Its probably the best way ;)
The larger dimension is approximately 40.6mm and the smaller 37.4mm
These were taken from my motor mount plate cad file but i may have filed them to fit later on so i cant be 100% certain the are...
Thanks PM,
the code is a lot more voluminous for adaptive etc so that does make some sense, Mach3 has got "look ahead" as standard but usually only set for something like 20 lines, i've upped...
Thanks, some interesting variations there but ultimately the process time is identical to mine - about 20 minutes :)
Will make notes.
Can you elaborate on that please:)
Its unimportant on this part but in future.......
Interesting stuff, i guess there is also non-cut traverse time to consider with adaptive or HSM, slotting does not really have any, its just plunge/ramp and cut.
A few years ago, I was a manual...
I think we have arrived :)
The part in question was originally planned as mostly 3d-adaptive etc, it worked well (finally) but took about 45 minutes to run ( i only have a Bridgeport with 4000rpm)...
Hiya,
I can see that coming :(
Sort of leaves me up sh1t creek really.
One of things that is worrying me is.....who says it will still be $300/year when all the new ideas and bugs are fixed by beta testing it on us free-users??
I could maybe just about do the UK...
Never knew that, thanks - i never mill wood :)
Thanks,
I did something right then :) - I have a "master" library which only defines the tool & holder etc then ones for steel and aluminium, didn't go as far as finish and rough though.
I'll...
Thats what my tests this evening show me too.
I Have been using a calculator called HSMAdvisor, its pretty good but it seems little point in saving the data with the tool as each recipe seems to...
Just a quickie - the tool table.
Really easy to get in a mess i think here so i want to get it good from the off.
If i enter a spindle speed of say 4000rpm and a chip load of say 0.0254mm for a...
Thanks for that,
from never having used combine to making exactly the part i did yesterday took about 10mins and one google !
Very useful tool i think.
Brilliant, well spotted.
I must have messed it up with my skewed sketch origination ;)
Another one for the note pad.
Thanks.
Ok, thanks, in the end i went a different way and went back to sketch, only extruded in one direction instead of symmetrical :)
Anyway, before i start tearing out whats left of my hair - if i want...
Here we go,
1st side and 2nd side :)
Now i need to learn how to slice the model in two to create a half-model to machine a nice fixture to locate a semi finished part so i can machine the...
Update - the part from hell actually cut :)
In fact it cut pretty well considering the stock too small and on the last cuts all that was holding it in the vise was a web of metal 1.5mm thick -...
I always prefer G53 i think, there was a reason but i cant recall what it was now.
Else-If sounds ok.
Here you go, post attached below :)
The generic mach3 post worked here too, but as my M3 post was altered, i would not want to try it.
I doubt they would add the code as it is specific to my controller - a CS-LABS CSMIO-IP/A unit...
Yes that was the fix, before, it was configured as a drill.
Its a universal tool so i have left both version in the library.
Will try and get the part on the mill tomorrow, finally ;)
Its the tool.
I had selected a spotting drill and used it as a chamfer mill - this has been done in other apps but i guess Fusion is smart enough to fault-out if you try and tell it move a drill...
The error in the log is
"Error: Failed to invoke function 'onSection'."
No idea why.
The post was edited some time ago by Fusion support to alter the code for rigid tapping on my mill, I...
One that i have been using since i started - Mach3Mill IIRC
Just about ready to bin this part and give up!!
After days and days of messing with paths and strategies, dropping features i wanted etc, I finally get a recipe that might actually work, no...
