Hi All.

I regularly run rotary axis programs, and have never taken the time to understand the actual feed rate commands. This bit me lately as I would post out code and input feed rate of 100ipm...

Hello,
My 2002 Mori Seiki CL2000 is down and needs a control panel. Would you consider selling 1 of your units? If I can't find a working unit I need a complete upgrade and it is very costly. ...

Hi All,
Been a while since I posted here, but I googled my I/O problem and found many others that were finding help here. I have this lathe that is fairly new to me. It came home and ran for a few...

I have a bostomatic SPC II control. My machine is older, but it is not ancient. They were built to last and that they did. Mine only has 11K hours on it. It will hold .0002. Anyways, what has...

My criticism is not based on a rant or some fictitious thing. If I would have been thoroughly pleased with the product I would have posted on my satisfaction. The facts are the facts, and I have...

Well as Paul Harvey might say, I thought I would let folks know the "Rest of the Story" on my BCC 2007 purchase. After a long wait, alot of phone calls back and forth BCC can not produce a good post...

Did you ditch Dolphin CAD? Good to hear from you.

Back to BobCAD.... I am really excited as I have found a stream of work for my machine. I still haven't gotten a post or heard from anyone yet. It is past the 2 week marker now. I am getting...

Its a bostomatic Post. For an SPC II control. Is that what you are asking for? It has been two weeks, and I am anxious, so I called yesterday. Vince looked into it for me and said it would...

The issue he is probably having, is regarding his bad attitude towards the software. He is not alone, but his statement is probably not the best way to deal with his feelings. I have been...

When is the official release of the newest version of BradCad? hehe

The seminars haven't started and all of your other training is $100/ hour. I wouldn't be asking this question here if I had a couple of grand to spend on training. I don't have that kind of money. ...

This is my first cam package. I use MasterCam V8 at work, so I have some experience with CAM. I also have trained in Solid Works and use it ocassionally. I watched most of sorin's videos but they...

In my humble opinion, your best bet will be with a corncob. You can probably peg out the spindle and take a deep cut and then up your travel speed until you are uncomfortable, then just a bit more. ...

Congratulations on trying something new. Many people are afraid to do this and do the same thing over and over again. 5HP is plenty to get lots of work done, but the machine rigidity is the other...

The SFM sounds way low for aluminum. All of the running capabilities are dependent on the machine and set-up. If you have more RPMs and coolant then Crank up the RPMs and down the chipload I would...

Thanks! that did it!!! I guess I didn't get to the incremental part. Now my new layer with info is correctly opened. Thanks for the speedy reply.
-Greg:)

I read the tutorials on Layers and I am still having trouble getting my drawing from the current layer copied to a new layer. I am just doing a line drawing and then I edit it for different cutting...

What you have is the same as on my bostomatic 312 mill. Most of the holders specifically for this machine were made by Universal Engineering. It is a standard 40 taper. The tool taper portion of...

Thanks for the in-depth advice. I will go with hurco when this machine makes me enough money to buy one. I am up and running now!!! I put in my first few lines of code last night. As far as I know...

Yee Ha!
I have power to the Mill. The spindle turned on but yet to have any table motion. The fans are running on the west amp so I think it is up too. On the control I get a "external feed hold"...

We use the ER 16 collets on our cnc machines for sizes up to 3/8" and 1 inch series acura flex collets after that. We still use R8 Collets in all of our manual mills. I think most of the ER collets...

The control had lost its executive... I reloaded the tape and it fired up. :cheers: The machine didn't move or anything else come on I guess due to an error. The screen displays an error: Vel....

Hi again,

I was going to let you guys know that I figured out how to reconfigure the west amp drive transformer also. I also found my trouble with a tripped overload and now my control powers up...

The machine was working fine when it went to auction. I imagine that if I had 460volts it would be making chips. I believe I am dealing with the 230-460 conversion issues. What does the 24v power...

Update... I spent the better part of the day setting up my phase converter, and reconfiguring the machine for 230V. I rewired the hyd. pump and coolant pump for 230 and set up two internal...

Here is a link to the description of a buck boost transformer.

Hope this helps.
-Greg Beaman

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe a buck boost transformer might fix your input voltage problem. I read that they are designed to boost or "buck" down input voltages from the incoming line...

I did a further investigation on voltages to the different motors. The spindle only says 230 volts on its i.d. tag so I assume that it is wired 230 volts. The hydraulics motor says 230/460 on the...
