  1. Re: How does water cut things but it is so soft. Mohs question.

    You don't want this particular dummy trying to explain the math.
  2. Re: How does water cut things but it is so soft. Mohs question.

    Becasue the water is carrying contaminates. It's not entirely the water doing the work. The minerals it carries, its abilitiy to be a solvent and the forces created as it flows over or around...

    Re: Tormach 1100MX vs SYIL X7 2020

    I was more directing you there to physically be around one and perhaps see it under power at least somewhere close that didn't require a plane ride.

    Re: Tormach 1100MX vs SYIL X7 2020

    Well I would say you could stop by and run mine but that's a plane ride to Georgia. You might want to contact the person from the Ebay add. That machine is listed to be at least within your state....

    Re: Tormach 1100MX vs SYIL X7 2020

    I have the slightly older front U shaped set up. I know the X7-20 got a redesign. I don't have any issues with it that are not of my own making. The tank is on wheels and they are adjustable to level...

    Re: Tormach 1100MX vs SYIL X7 2020

    I believe everything currently is build to order with a few machines around because orders got canceled. I don't think they have any large amount of standard offering machines sitting around. There...
  9. Re: Lead-in/out from Fusion360 causing issues on VMC15XT

    Contour cuts have a setting for pass extension and or overlap. Remember that the path is calculated from the center point of the tool. The tool is round so when the center of the tool reaches the end...

    Re: X axis is off center

    I'm not in this argument. I use a fixed jaw location most of the time at the bottom of the stock. I do certainly get the argument for working from the top for ease of readability on the machine as...

    Start at 6:25 in the time line. I don't particularly like their method of doing so but it does work.

    Re: X axis is off center

    No you won't work from the same corner. You select it as your WCS and then probe to find the center of the material. Path Pilot has probing cycles for that.

    If everything is calibrated correctly...

    Re: X axis is off center

    No..working from a corner is fine as long what you do is consistent. Some times I work from a corner some times I go to the center it just depends on what I am doing. You should always tell Fusion...

    Is the rough size of the stock in the vise that size that you have told Fusion that it is? In the file you sent me the you have told Fusion the stock is 4.1 inches wide...

    Re: X axis is off center

    First question about the probe. Have you checked the runout of the probe. It needs to run fairly concentric to the centerline of the spindle.

    Re: X axis is off center

    Ok...there is nothing "wrong" with what you have done in the setup and tool paths. You are picking up the Left rear corner of the stock and the tool paths are calculated from there. Now I assume that...

    Well that would be an issue if the stock is not exactly the same size as your model. Unless the Stock origin point selected is on exactly the same plane as the model origin point you are selecting...

    Re: X axis is off center

    Heights aren't going to cause anything to be off center. Given that the work is happening from a fixed point IE the work coordinate then all the math is done from that point. If something is not...

    Re: X axis is off center

    That statement confuses me a bit. The stock top is the stock top. The model bottom should be the model bottom. I'd need to see what you are doing within the CAM software to see if it makes sense.

    Re: Tormach 1100MX vs SYIL X7 2020

    The spindle is a 1:1 belt driven set up. I'll have to go back through my research but the spindle cartridge is a third party item. I don't believe that Syil manufactures those in house. As long as...
