Hello everyone,

I am also waiting for this function, with others such as management of complete lathe tools (management of dials and radii) to make G41 and G42 radius corrections during turning.
...

Hi,

I am also in the same expectation. I should finish the first stage of my tour in a few weeks (no progress during the good weather period, and it is long this year ).
Planet CNC wants to be...

Absolutely.
The translations cause certain difficulties of understanding sometimes, see often :-)

Yes, but there is no possibility to display vertical and horizontal lines for example like the images below.
Displaying solid lines can improve approaches.

1) Something like the image below. Or have the possibility of making your own background.

2) Ok, I found it.

I just received the camera, the announced magnification ranges from 50 to 1600x. You will find a first test by holding the camera in your hand.
For information, the point displayed is about 0.2mm on...

Thank you for this encouragement,

It is true that Planet CNC is very attentive to our requests and I am sure we will be able to refine the turning part to get closer to professional CNC.

I go...

Hello everyone,

The lathe is progressing little at the moment. I almost finished the tailstock after making 2 parts (the alignment adjustment nut and the worm that drives the sheath). I'm waiting...

Hello,

At the start, I wanted to install on my lathe 1 wheel per axis. PlanetCNC should confirm it to us, but there is only one input for the pulses. so it becomes difficult to make every case to...

I noticed that a new version was online.
I switched to ZX cross. On the other hand, given that I have my X+ towards the back of the machine, the arrows are reversed, when I click on the down arrow,...

yes, I am on the latest version.
On the PC of the machines, everything is OK.
I go back to the test PC and everything is good without even putting the settings of the production PC back. It's the...

On my test PC, this has no effect.
I'm going to try later, on the PC that controls my machines.

No matter how hard I search, I can't find the ui3DToolpathShowToolOffset parameter.
How can we modify it?

Hello everyone,

The machine begins to make its first shavings. At the same time, I am moving forward on the adjustment of the tool gauges and the implementation of advances in mm/rev (which are...

OK, thanks, your answer helped me.

In fact I had only selected the lathe preset. With this preset, it is impossible to have the views perfectly oriented. On the other hand, by selecting the normal...

Good evening,

The display of the machine in 3D can annoy me a little. For the moment, I do not display it.
Most of my parts will be small in size, so just a display of the toolpaths will be more...

Stunning,

As very often, you are very responsive :-).

For the question mentioned just before on the possibility of correctly orienting the ZX view, one could imagine shortcuts to go from one...

Goodnight all,

The lathe begins to operate. For my problem of slow Z and X axis speed, it was because the servo motors were stalled at 10000 pulses per revolution, which required a frequency of...

Yes, I know, you have to understand my question in the following sense:
Does Planet CNC accept to modify the configuration of the cross to display axes other than XY or UV in a future version? ZX...

Sorry, Lathe Mode :-).

So no possible display of the jog cross? Even if we don't use the notion of G17, G18 and G19 planes, the cross could be configurable in the settings, right?

Hi there,

The mechanical part is, so to speak, finished. There will no longer be the realization of a spacer to put the turret at center height.
I therefore mounted the electrical plate on the...

Good evening,

Ok thank you for the answer. I hope you didn't take my question the wrong way.
I didn't know that the changelog.txt file had this information at the end of the text. Now I would...

Goodnight all,

Does my last question bother PlanetCNCN so much? Is there anything planned to improve the use of MK3 on the management of lathe tools?
Would it be possible for you to answer on the...

Ok, I'm waiting for your tutorial. If however it gives me too much work, I would simply install an MPG.

In the meantime, I'm waiting for connectors and a chain of cables to complete the electrical...

Hi there,

The CN tower project is nearing completion. The mechanical part is almost finished, I'm starting to work on the electrical cabinet and some functions.
If some of you are interested, I...

Good evening,

thank you for your responsiveness (as so often).

I will test it soon :-).

I have a post about building a lathe, I will soon be done with the mechanical part, I only have one...

I found the origin of the crash.

When you open a program containing G41-G42 calls and containing radius smaller than those possible for the tool declared in the tool table, the software crashes...

Hi there,

At least since the last 12/08 version, TNG crashes directly when opening a file if it contains ray correction calls with elements that are not tangent to each other.
Copying content...

Hi,

Is it normal, since the latest versions of TNG, that the playback of MIDI files is much too fast?
Is there any setting or is it a TNG bug?

best regards

Hi there,

The question may seem silly to you, but this is the first time I have used servo motors.
For this lathe, I want it to be 3-axis. I would therefore like to drive the spindle servomotors...
