What exactly does the gap settings tab control? I know that by using "distance" when ball nosing and increasing the distance under "gap size" can keep the ball nose from lifting up. What, if...

Sure enough, all the options I have been searching for were right there. I guess I just never "expanded" the "Linking" tab to see the entry and exit tools. Wow this makes life much easier. Thanks...

i'm using x5. I am going to mess around with the entry and exit and see if I can get it to do what I need it to do. I must have overlooked that tab. Thank you for point me in the right direction...

Ok, once i get my BP series 1 Boss 5 running, (z axis won't move and spindle will not turn on) of which I am trying to do as much research as I can to fix this, I was looking into buying a Behind the...

The big red button is not on or anything. It never came on at any time but ut does work, at least when i hit e stop. that is why I am not 100% sure I limited out... Maybe a power feed motor went tits...

I was able to crank z up by hand with the machine off by spinning the dial at the bottom of the servo. When I got close to the top I flipped the machine on to see if I could bring it up the rest of...

I just got an old bridgeport series 1 CNC up and running, revived it from the dead (had been sitting over 10 years). I was playing with the axis and everything was working great. I think I moved Z a...

I looked in my controller and there is no tape reader to be found. Now what can I do? Upgrade memory?

Dang, that is what I was worried about. Thank you Bill for the help. Now, my next question is, where can I get a behind the tape reader? And would it be better to just upgrade my memory. Has anyone...

I still can not get this thing to drip feed. Now I am trying with Mastercam X editor and am having no luck. I know I have baud rate and parity right because I can input the program to the control...

is there any easy way to shut off the ATC so that I can manually input tools and run the machine until I can get the tech out?

thank you for the help underthetire, I really appreciate it. Calling the tech in the morning.
