Seems samba (the service which lets Linux PCs show up in Windows network) isn't set up or running. Should be in the user manual how to set it up. I'm not near my machine, or even at home, so I can't...

It kind of says in the error message what you need to do...
The file dmrc in the user's home directory has the wrong permissions.
What you need to do, is get to a command line (can't remember how...

What did you use for the linear bearings for lubrication? Did you use grease or did you add them to the oiler system? I'm currently installing linear bearings to both X- and Y-axes on my mill (Z done...

You're talking about using rotary encoders connected to the motors or screws and tapping into those pulses? If so, you wouldn't be able to detect backlash, as those encoders wouldn't detect movements...

You forget one thing (I think, without looking at AliExpress), you need to add 25% VAT on top of the paid price (purchase price plus shipping) and possible brokerage fee on top of that again. Last...

MT2 is not ideal, but the price is not too bad, I think. Depends a bit what you want to use it for. Looks like he has a MT2-ER25 collet holder. I think MT2 is too small to use TTS system.

Seems...

Hi, all.

I didn't find any other more suitable sub-forum to put this in... :)

I have made Hoss' 3-stage air cylinder, except I made it a 4-stage cylinder, to use on my WMD25 (same as...

I was using PayPal for billing, so this wouldn't be the problem in my case. This time it was Autodesk screwing up. But to their defence, Austin from their customer support came through and I now have...

They actually came back with, after speaking with a supervisor, a link for a new early adopter license, except the link wasn't a proper link. Hopefully that gets fixed. I tried to send an email to...

Unless Autodesk screws up your billing and the license expires... My license should have been billed towards the end of November, but when I checked, PayPal had not been billed and it said my early...

I take it you have a caliper? Use that. Should give you at least 150mm/6" of travel for better measurements. Or a stack of (decent) 1-2-3 blocks and a dial test indicator.

The reason it cuts out the part upside down is because you have set the machine to do that... :-) The movements should reference the tool, not the table, so a X+ should move the tool to the right,...

Mener det ikke er noe som må modifiseres, men siden gib er på den ene siden slik at det tar større plass, vil den bli flyttet litt til venstre (tror jeg det var) og ikke stå helt i midten lenger. Det...

G0704 er vel mer lik BF20 (litt svakere motor, ellers lik), men nyere BF25, og i hvertfall nyere PM-25, er ikke like. De har Z-aksen stående oppå basen istedenfor at den er festet bakpå basen, slik...

Har allerede ordnet to ekstra hull/bolter for festet av hodet og ekstra spacer. Brukte T-muttere, som jeg måtte slipe litt på et par hjørner slik at de passet, og gjengestenger (samme som til clamp...

Jeg ville også gått for BF25 over de to andre. Jeg har også en BF25 (kjøpt hos gasolin.no) og bygget den om til CNC.

Vet ikke helt om jeg stoler helt på at Globaltools har veldig peiling på det...

There was a technical drawing in the link just below the pictures of the Z-axis ball nut bracket.

If you have a technical school nearby, check if you can get them to do the milling for you. That's what I did when I installed linear bearings on the Z-axis of my BF25 (Weiss WMD25).

My wish would be to be able to select which way to cut when doing chamfers, either towards the chuck or towards the face of the part. As it is now, it only cuts towards the face of the part.

They have metric threading in conversational, as already mentioned. You just have to do MDI G20 or G21 to change between imperial and metric. As far as I've found, you can't get imperial threads in...

Using positive numbers for DOC, will give the correct result. The problem is it is quite confusing when the text possibly only talks about stock diameter, but is right above the graphics for DOC,...

Normally, I would agree with you, if it wasn't for the fact that it states in the GUI to use negative numbers to work on the negative side of the workpiece. I think I'll fire off an email to Tormach...

Hi, all.

I'm running PP (currently 2.5.1) on a converted benchtop lathe with a QCTP. I've noticed a couple of "issues" with conversational programming. I don't know if it's just me or someone else...

I have used PP with my converted Weiss WM290 (same as PM1127-VF-LB). I haven't run it much in CNC mode yet, it's mostly been run manually using the Shuttle controller. I also did come...

Here are the updated images for OutCenter, OutCenterHor and OutCenterVert, which shows where it is best to position the probe before starting the cycle.

Br,

Good, but when you start with struct and pointers, it starts to throw me. I can sort of follow it after looking it over a few times, but I'm not sure I can expand it much. You still had the inversed...

Took some time to make an adapter for my new probe. It came with 3/8" shank (TTS version was $80 more expensive). I was going for a shrink fit, but it ended up with a superglue fit... :)



Which...

Thanks.


Good call! Sometimes the most obvious things are the hardest to see... :) Your change in the MoveDirection routine will cause it to print that the distance to move is mm, even if the...

There is no movement in GetStockSize, so shouldn't be any other error checking than if there is a problem getting the values from the screen.


Fixed


Agree. It's getting a bit unwieldy, but...

Hi, Tom.

In a previous post, you mentioned it wasn't quite kosher to use void when returning a value. I guess I should have used int MoveNorth(double distance) instead of void MoveNorth(double...
