Hi,

We got an error that the battery on the main board was dead, so today I drove to our local outlet and bought the battery replacement kit, and installed it, but it looks like the machine needs...

Oh, I guess you are right, I guess I thought it was gouging it, and in the simulator it does look to be gouging the top a little but maybe that is just the resolution of the simulator.

Thank you...

Thanks for your reply.

This should be easier to see with the stepover spaced out, it has the tool tip following the contour as it should, but as it gets close to the top, it changes to a chamfer...

Hi,

I am trying to make a toolpath for a part and I am hitting a snag. The original part, I can't post, so I made a similar part to portray the concept. The part has a pocket, with radius in...

Hi,

You are right, machining was no problem. I ended up getting a Haas mini mill (was cheaper than sending to mold shop as a long term investment), and just machined it myself, (granted there...

Thank You!

Hi all,

I am just curious as I am planning my cnc retro fit of my harbor freight lathe. Do the major cnc softwares like EMC, Mach 3 etc.. require spindle encoder feedback and a VFD do to a...

This worked great, thanks for your help. Shrink fit is so much better than other options, the concentricity is perfect and the the tool is very rigid. All of the end mills I was using would either...

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try

Hello,

For a project I am working on I needed to get a few specialty tools from OSG to machine hardened tool steel. To hold the tools I got a 6mm shrink fit tool holder from osg, without knowing...

Hello,

I added a mill recently to our facility to make prototype injection mold dies and I am attempting a task to modify an existing mold, of hardened tool steel (A2) to 60HRC. In order to make...

Thanks I figured it out! Now I have been just messing around with simple arduino sketches to make the motors do different things. I am hoping to use grbl, but I can't figure out how to install the...

Hi all,

I have a nema 425oz/in stepper that I have already successfully controlled with the cnc-usb controller. I would now like to try to control it with an arduino uno board. Does anyone know...

I finally got it to work, I have no idea what was wrong before because I basically got it to work by the same method that wasn't working lol. Anyway, thanks everyone for your help I really...

Wish I could, unfortunately it is pretty proprietary stuff. I'll figure it out eventually.

I am actually running into another problem, so I have the both the stock and part in separate layers, I think the stitching to surfaces worked. When I go to to "select solid model" in stock wizard...

That is so awesome that opens up so many new capabilities for me especially what I am trying to do right now. Thanks so much for all of your help that was extremely generous. I got it to work now,...

Hi could I bother for a little more help in getting this to work? I was up until about 4am last night trying to figure it out lol.

I am just not sure how to get the two parts into layers. So I...

That is a great idea, thanks a lot! I will give that a try.

Hi all,

I am trying make a modification into an existing piece of material with complex geometry. I have a cad file for both the existing part, and a separate cad file for the part with the...

Thanks, yeah I usually do a quick test in MDI and go to my G54 X0.0 Y0.0 coords, and 0.1 in Z, before I run my actual program. In this case, everything checked out, but when I ran the program the EM...

Hey BurrMan, thanks for taking the time to look at that. I knew this learning curve, starting out as a noob would not be easy, but it is worth it. I am thinking the EM might have slipped in the...

Here hopefully this .rar attached correctly, wouldn't let me upload .bbcd

Unfortunately, the probing is working correctly. That would be an easy fix. All other dimensions are correct, indicating that the probing was successful and work/tool offsets are correct, the only...

Hi All,

Thanks for your help, I was able to make double sided programs, using the separate post saving method. Been gone all week taking the Haas mill classes. I am running into a problem, I ran...

Wow that is great thanks so much! Yeah, I would add a stop command, but for some reason I can't open the g-code editor, when I right click edit on the post nothing happens. I would contact bobcad...

I do have one concern though, when I submit this to my machine, what protocol does bobcad take to stop the program, so I can flip it over in the vise. I don't see anything in the code showing the...

Hi,

Thanks a lot was able to get it to work!

Hi All,

I have been doing all my G-code by hand for my new Haas mill, and I just picked up a copy BobCAD yesterday, because I would rather bang my head against a wall then write G-code by hand :p....

Hi Everyone,

I recently got a new Haas Super Mini Mill for in-house prototyping, and it is amazing! I am familiar with cnc milling, but I don't know much about cutting fluid. My first instinct...
