Chris R. You requested that I e-mail an example of the .cad and .nc files that are producing the seemingly and unintended z-plunges during eqid. offset routines so you could determine the source of...

Thanks to both of you for such an in depth and quick reply. I really did not consider the "slickness" of the material as relates to fixturing, good points to consider. My only experience with...

Anyone with experience cutting UHMWPE. Speeds and feeds info would be appreciated before I gum up or burn up carbide. I will be outside profiling a part and performing .75" deep pocketing. ...

Well..I am a Catholic but I won't hold it against Don;)!!!

When I purchased V.22 I was informed that 4th axis machining/indexing was not available. What I did not realize was that 4th axis indexing was available in V.21!!! Why eliminate this from v.22??? ...

Cool, anything worth having is worth waiting for.

If an appropriate users manual (all inclusive!! for example download Alibre design's manual to see how ti should be done) the the vidoes would be superfluos. I find that the videos are good for...

Thanks for the replies.
It punches deep "pot hole" at random areas..deep enough to more than ruin the part. I will send a copy of the .cad and the .nc file to bcad support to see if it is an unseen...

While using equidistant offset to 3-d profile parts G-code is inserted during the post (HAASTM.mlpst) that causes the z-axis to occaisionally plunge (as if a spot drill was called for) in random...

DJN, I have a TM-1 and it suits my needs extremely well as I do mainly one-off parts or short run (less than 50 parts). The open construction of the TM provides increased versatility over a VMC. ...

We are waiting..Any word on the patch release date..anyone??..Bueller?...Bueller?......Bueller????

I appreciate you listening.

Also, it would be nice if the dialogue box which opens screen left when a function is selected opens "on top" so I don't have to enlarge it's window to see all the...

How about including a REAL operator's manual, not the brief user's guide that you have now which only covers a few wxamples of basic operations. Make it all inclusive and cover in detail each...

HSM- I agree that one must take the time to learn the program thoroughly in order to get the most out of it. But.....I have purchased the video training series which are ok for the basics but how am...

Thanks to all those whom replied. I think I understand eq. off. now.

I would like to see an option in the pocket setup to ramp down into successive z-depths rather returning to the start point...

Bobcad V.22/ haastm1 post/--- When performing a pocketing operation, machining from center out in multiple step, at the end of each step the z-axis is commanded to rapid to the R plane (.1 " above...

Thanks all. Tech support recommended increasing virtual memory which I did and it appears that the problem is solved. So far with about one hour run time in cad and cam side it has not locked up...

Thanks for the reply. I e-mailed tech support but I am afraid that the solution may be as you suggest or wait for an update that may or may not be any better!

I presume you mean ditching the Vista OS altogether, or am I missing something? When I purchased this laptop I preferred to get XP (I dislike Vista for reasons far beyond my troubles with BC) but...

Not yet, but I will. I just wanted to see if others are experiencing the same issues. So far the software generates good code without any tweaking prior to executing on my Haas mill. I wish that...

When sold this software the long winded salesman assured me that it would operate fine with Windows Vista. It seems that I have to save my work every 10 or so operations because the program...
