Personally its such an easy thing to do manually why bother with a cad system to do tapping?
All this is a super easy fix. For starters don't use the ultra snoopy windows 10. I use a dedicated laptop for Bobcad, all wifi is disabled, no internet connections, there is no need to have any...
Full 3D is kinda like 5D and really could not use cutter comp, because a lot of the cutting is done with a ball nose end mill. Unless things have been improved now with very high end software or...
I was also told mine for life with no maintenance fees. Unsupported and can't reload? I guess I need to call and ask for some permanent reloadable what ever for it then. Or call an attorney.
Why and how can an outfit sell a product for multi thousands of dollars, that will be useless in a year if you don't pay some high maintenance or license fee?
I would think that could not be...
The problem ends up being, lines that may look connected that are not. So extend 2 entities can be a fix as well as correcting for double lines, and reorganizing. I don't have the software open so...
I have seen price ranges but.
Have a Jet, Bridgeport clone and I curious what cost of the system and ball screws cost? Also how well do the stepper motors work? This seems like a nice retrofit...
And I redrew the line drawing 2 times and it still fails in planar.
I think it is the chain, but how to fix it? Just use line join or what? It looks fine when zooming on it.
I just wish the...
Many years ago I worked at a place that I think did it, I never paid too much attention to it then, we entered work offset info in the macro instead of the work offset page.
I've already got that I calculate against the set work offset. By dynamic I mean as the 4th axis is turning constantly updating the offset. I guess G54.2 does it so I'll dabble with that some time. ...
Or just change it after it posts.
So what is it showing in the cam tree? You will have to do the edit thing and select the folder where your post processor is located.
I really am not a fan of the control, especially the offsets pages, and all the stupid buttons, no quick and fast feed rate knobs, yeah I know about the MPG deal its just funky.
And just not a fan...
Where to find them?
So then you need something other than a straight lathe cad cam software.
So why is Bob Cad pushing this solid works deal? Maybe pushing is too harsh. I sure hope they don't stop their normal CAD CAM system. I can not warrant having any software that I have to pay a big...
I've done 4th axis, work offset macros, just curious if anyone has done dynamic work offset macro?
If you make a post processor from scratch or major copy and paste, then it becomes a .txt file, so how to make it into a .BCPST file?
1 So how much does it all cost?
2 Does solidworks come bundled with the bobcam?
3 If not then separate costs?
Yeah what you get used to. But the problem is pretty much everything is Fanuc like as far as G codes etc. If I remember Okuma does some weird thing with G90 that would really mess me up if I had to...
Tool change positions are not always at machine zero, machine zero meaning the actual home positions for the axis's.
The lit leds are saying it is at the zero set home position. Tool change zero...
I would like to know how you access and use that APC feature you mentioned.
How come Okuma has to be so different? I'm talking about the control and its use of G codes etc. And how many have retrofitted a Fanuc control on them?
So how much does it cost to purchase it? Is it yours when you buy it? Or is there a yearly license fee?
There should be a sticky that is constantly updated, at the beginning of this section that posts the price and conditions of all the various CAD CAM software packages.
It would be very helpful to...

I run an NHX-6300, so what is hiding in the windows software? I need access to probe calibration data, or possible grid shift to correct a y axis probe shift. Money is too tight for service calls....
The machine will not keep tract of the work offsets for the pallets. Its just like saying its suppose to keep tract of where you set G54 last week. When you put a pallet in you do your setup and your...
I would like a how to change and a list of parameters, like you get with the Fanuc parameter manual, that you don't get with a MORI.
I need to change the offset download so its in inches and not...
