We use Path Pilot.
I talked to Tormach. They suggested using pin 5, EN, as it's state changes from a floating voltage to ground when the spindle motor is running.

Dave quick question, how do I turn on output 3? Not sure I understand this correctly so would appreciate some clarification.

Thank you to all who have responded.
My plan is already to use a Numatics version of the valve as Dave described I have 3 laying around here. I knew about the 24 volt power in the box I also have a...

Recently added a PCNC440 to our machines with a Tormach PDB. As you may know the control button for this version of the PDB is a pneumatic push button valve. Not electrical as on the 1100. I would...

Gary, good post.....Also my exact same experience. The ATC has some parts that simply are prone to wear. The unfortunate part is you find this out at the expensive of ruined cutters and tools and...

Remember the age old machinists singy song, "304 it's a whore, 303 it's for me"...says it all.

Has anyone had any issues with a Windows 10 upgrade with how it works with SprutCAM. Any information you have will be useful. Also let me know if it went well. Thanks for you input.

I did a search and didn't see any threads about issues SprutCam and Windows 10 upgrade may have. I would be interested if you had any issues or if everything when well. Thanks in advance.

This is the key function which proves you got it right or not.

Anyway everything worked out fine.

I completed the project and actually wasn't that much work. Certainly far less then starting over. About half of the operations had to be re-associated which the feature on the part. It appeared the...

Ok got it figured out. Deleted the existing part and got the new reloaded. About half of the operation built when I press run so now will just need to re-pick the edges, surfaces, etc.
Should be ok...

Ok so I can't seem to delete the existing model. Nothing deletes when I click on the Red X for delete. Its says nothing selected but when I select the part with the mouse the red X goes grey and not...

I'm embarrassed, I didn't see your post and it was right there if front of me and the man upstairs as they say. Thanks I would delete this whole thread if I could. :)

I have an existing program which is fairly complex. I now have to make a revision to the part model. Does any one have a procedure/instructions or know of a tutorial that explains how to do this. In...

In my application I machine bars of aluminum, 200 of them at a time. Each bar generates 3 completed parts. They are machined in special vise jaws on side 1. I machine all of them and then change the...

Thanks for your most speedy response :)

The reason I asked is that the laptop I wanted to use doesn't have an internal DVD drive. I use a USB drive to load but then disconnect it when not in use....

I know this is an old thread but I have a question.
I have a copy of the SW Veterans Student version coming. On the website it states a DVD drive is required. Does this mean the SW disk has to be...

Thanks, I understand what you are doing and that is the current way I do 2 sides however looking for a new way and a faster way. I think TurboSteps idea is what I was looking for.

All,
If...

Thanks TurboStep, I think you understood the question, and I will investigate your advice. I Like! I'll let you know how I make out.

Mike,
Thanks for your comment and I also do the same as you on all my products now, however I must not have made myself clear. I want to know if I can export the finished results, from the first...

I have SC8.
Question, I have a part that gets eventually machined on 2 sides. I write a program that machines the first side complete. I then would like to take the results of that first program,...

Got my Skimpy installed and works. I will have it on a timer to run at night then when it turns off an air pump will turn on and run to aerate the coolant.

Steve, if you don't mind me asking, what is your vise you have in your picture, please?

Yes I agree, nice setup, very clean, looks good.

Per your quote above what are your thoughts/plans for the tank and pump?

Ever wonder why the UUS Iowa with its 16" guns was so big? Because it needed to be to have 16" guns. 10 pounds of crap is about all that can fit in a 10 pound crap bag.
Lots of fun to dream but...

I agree +1. I think its termed "marketing" :)

Steve, any chance you can share a picture of your setup?

Thanks all,
Rory I have a picture of your setup, it got me thinking.
Steve hadn't thought of the timer, interesting

Anyone have experience using the Skimpy 6" skimmer?
