Looks to be more than 10 years since anyone posted in Arkansas. Everyone give up or move away?
I am on Bull Shoals Lake and should complete my current build by end of January. Hopefully, the 4th and...

I used to work on these (back in the day...)
Just because they don't have a "port" on the outside, does not mean you can't plug one in yourself. The Jack's are still present on the board. Any old pc...

Have not seen any option (for a reasonable price...), to just plug and play...
I have taken several machines like this and modified the LPT connection for use with Mach3.
Is not too difficult. They...

Sorry but not much video documentation out there... I can only explain the "goal" and that your table should have values that you can readily understand (or an experienced user would understand)

right click the surrounding window (not an icon, but in the blank area...)
Should get a drop down menu

As most machines use zero "0" by default, you should not need to set t1 to zero.
To answer your question, your "method" will work if you are using tool 1, to define part zero.
It is the wrong way...

Thanks jrmach.
Must be why it seems like the same plan with a new name...
We purchased multi axis product, thus updates/upgrades were part of the premium support plan.

Then, they changed the...

jrmach, please help me understand the difference between this offer and the "old" service plan...
I read every line (even expanded every question/answer. It sounds to me like the same service plan...

Hopefully you have the option to export in IGES format.
Bob plays much nicer about keeping layers and solids in this format.

Bonus...
Copy/paste places entity in exact same location/position/orientation ;)

Copy the geometry you want to keep. Paste and save in new window/file. The new file will not contain any of the history.
It is also much faster than deleting 400 other entities...

Was hoping someone with V27 would chime in to help you...

Blank all layers except "neck cutout"
Choose Mill pocket
Select the neck pocket profile
For depth selection, you should be able to...

As I stated in the PM, I do not think I drew this particular model.
I think I downloaded it (perhaps from GrabCad). I could not find any indication in the folder, of where the original came from. I...

62 Strat complete in V25

120 degrees F. (48 degrees C.) is considered scalding and can damage human tissue...

So you can feel burning (uncomfortably hot), and still be well below motor damage temperature.

The problem is most likely due to BobCAM rounding the radius to a 3 digit value. IE a .125 ballnose, gets rounded from 0.0625, to .063 (hence larger than half diameter). I had the problem also and...

This was the point that really irked me. We purchased multiple seats of V25 multi axis pro + multiple seats for the lathe, and 2 seats for Solidworks. We also paid for 2 years of premium support....

Did you get control yet?

Did the XML file solve the problem?

Not quite... There is no "stop" command issued... Code as written, assumes ATC and will not "stop"... You will need a stop or pause command (M00/M01) if changing tool manually. I would also advise...

Agree with mmoe. Doesn't sound like a bob bug.

As far as confirmed bugs, is more like a used car purchase... As is where is.

DO NOT EVER ASSUME IN MACHINING!

Bob (most CAM), does not "learn. It must be guided or limited. One thing is certain. Bob "thinks" it is doing what you want....

You probably are missing a...

Damn horse just won't wake up.




Many in this world consider a ponzi scheme, stealing. This is backasswards (or bobasswards), but in effect the same same crap.

Even though your controller is old by todays standards, you should be measuring your tool length before running...
The controller has a tool database and you must populate it with corresponding...

LOL?
They removed the link to the V26 updates also

Now you said something that requires a driver.
You will need drivers to make the USB conversion.

The Mach3 setup should remain the same, but it will not look for a USB port.
You will need to...

I can not remember the last time I was in so far over my head.

BobCam will open drawing files and output (post) G-code files. Mach3 will open G-code files and output signal (control), thru your...

Should not need a device driver. Install Mach3, configure and tune.
Here is a somewhat helpful translation page to help you set it up
