    Re: Switching to Mastercam

    I just wanted feedback from someone that has went from SC to MC; at this point, I doubt the owner will pony up for a replacement after investing in SC unless there's some sort of buy out.

    Re: Switching to Mastercam

    I was checking to see if you had a follow-up to this; we use surfcam and had some interest in switching to MC. I have a hard time walking away from the money we've spent on SC, but others in the shop...

    Re: Arrow1000 Z Axis grid failure

    maver1ck,

    I went back and pulled the align switch off to give it a good cleaning and check; I did it in place before. It seems to be smooth; put it back on, made sure it was lined up with the dog,...

    Re: Arrow1000 Z Axis grid failure

    I checked the bearings, I get about .008" of movement; the movement is in the annular bearings. Coupling looks good, it's the vee groove type. Switches look aligned and those and the dogs are tight....

    Re: Arrow1000 Z Axis grid failure

    Re: Hawk 200 spindle pulley

    yes, it is a problem. You are correct, if we can't change the parameter, and the tech we use says we can't, it looks like that's the plan. Its a 14MM HTD type belt with the round tooth. I just have...
