Hi Mike,
You won't find any post processors for SC7 on the tormach web site because they don't officially support that version anymore. But I would hope they would reply to your inquiries soon and...
Sorry Step, you're trying to help and I'm being vague.
Good point on the "Reversed Arcs in Front Post" setting. When I saw the tool paths in the preview window in Mach3 Turn I thought it could be...
Yes I have. Some roughing ops seem to work but any finish ops go crazy in Mach3.
Thanks Step
Gerry
Thanks Bevin
I can select the "Lathe ZX" machine in SC.
I am thinking now that I must have the Tormach only version as the post processor list can only see the files with the .ppl extension....
Hello,
I converted my Grizzly lathe to CNC about 6 months ago and have been using the wizards that come with Mach 3 and NFS Turn wizards. They are ok but I have been wanting to use my copy of SC7...
Look at the "Offsets" tab on the left side... is that what you're looking for?
You probably already know but I think you can make your own touch plate to close a circuit or purchase a fancy one from...
Ahh, cool. Makes it much easier to explore the system.
Thanks,
Gerry

There is this wiki on how to reset monitor res. on linux using the terminal.
I found it through LinuxCNC documents page http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/pdf/LinuxCNC_Getting_Started.pdf

Thanks Mike!,

Glad you got ti working.
Reading about the eject problem when done installing the OS I went into the bios (F2 IRCC) and that gave me time to eject the disk normally then reboot again.
I need to...
Yes, it was my Tormach controller that had the issue with booting to the PP disk. Tormach said that with my controller part #31520 some customers were having issues.
Your welcome.
I think...
You need to make the Tormach disk an ISO image file on your hard drive then burn that as an image file to the new blank DVD. Not sure what a "windows mastered copy" is. Sounds like you are just...
If you know the dimensions from the center of the hole to your origin can't you probe the hole, move X and Y those dimensions and re-zero the DRO's?

I had the same problem, Tormach said I could try burning an image of their disk to a DVD+R blank disk (not DVD-RW). That worked for me. If it didn't work they said they had another disk they would...
Just to add to kstrauss's reply... go to the last two pages of this document http://www.tormach.com/uploads/921/SB0046_PathPilot_Release_Notes_0615C-pdf.html
That's the release notes document he is...
OK, so far I have discovered that it is in my tool table descriptions in SC7. For example I had a couple of 90 degree drill point EM's described with "90°" in the text. Deleted the "°" special...
Thanks for the additional replies fellas.
I'm finding that some of my old .nc files show OK and some don't.
I am going to dig in to it further based on your replies and samco's link to the previous...
Thanks for the quick reply MD.
I think I am doing it as you describe above?
Check out this movie I just made.
Pre-post update :o
I should've tried this before posting in the first place......
Hi,
I have SprutCam 7, when I load a SC7 NC program from USB into PathPilot the g code does not show in the "G-Code Preview" window on the "File" tab or in the "Recent Files/ Current File Display"...
Ordered PP and received the package today.
Installed OK except for a small glitch getting the controller to recognize the install disk as a bootable disk. Called Tormach and was asked if I had...
Did you purchase and install the PCI express card (PathPilot Upgrade Kit) from Tormach for your PP install?
Did you remove it for your re-install of MachOS and plug the parallel cable back into the...
My California Air Tools compressor started doing that to my 770 as well. Had a electrician friend look at my set up and he said the pressure switch on the compressor was failing, drawing more...
MD, Not sure if this is related but about a week and a half ago all my digital music was locked and it seemed to occur out of the blue. I would try to play some music thru Windows Media Player and...
I do.
Been a while but IIRC you need to install the original SC program from the disk (part #31729 and #31730. There is a trial version disk that is another part number) you got from Tormach (if...
If you are new to SW and to get you started go through the tutorials that come with SW. They are are really pretty good and get you sketching and extruding your own designs quite quickly :D
