my 2001 ch250 is getting some vibration on x axis when cold, seems to go away after 30ish minutes. changed bearings on x axis last year after hearing some clunking. size and finish is holding fine....

slow movement is fine. i'll check out the microstepping if i can find it and see where it's at.

retrofitted a 5 x 10 plasma table that was built by fast cut and ran dynatorch software. belt drive machine, was having issues with motors and dynatorch so went with fabcut/flash-cut set up. old...

is there a way to drip feed programs to my Daewoo. service guy said it can be done with tape mode but i don't have that option? i'm using Cadem NC lite for sending programs back and forth but am...

marked the base and pallet at zero to try and see what's going on. when i rotate and bring back to zero the line is out and table is not square. looked closer at pallet change and when new pallet...

so new problem today. started machining a part yesterday. noticed that table was off a couple of degrees cutting a taper over the 12" length i was cutting, around .06" difference from front to...

Have a new to me 1997 daewoo and trying to set tool offset on Daewoo. When I go to offset page I get a ‘data’ column to input info about tool, guessing this is tool length? I hit soft key and...

Been at this for a while now and can't seem to get this. I used al's toolpath and part ran good. now i'm trying to toolpath the small undercut at the next angle/side of the part. i'm trying to use...

reason number 2 is why i did it the way i did it. Thanks for the advice. Time to do some practicing with these surfaces.

have it a bit closer but still not perfect. saw a bobcad after dark video where the toolpath just goes back and forth along the part profile... that's the thing i wanted to do but cant seem to get...

i have it now so that its surfacing the area i want, but now the toolpath is going above the part as well?? and below the area i want it to machine. how do i stop it from doing this??

i've got another part I can't get. I have the corners of the part that i'd like to surface. i took the advice of a few people on here and upgraded to 3axis pro but still not seeing an efficient way...

just did it with the 3/8 x .02 rad tool, on the computer anyway. went to .5207! perfect. the small rad at the bottom will be fine. hope to be able to try it out monday on the real part. i'll keep...

thanks for all the help. had a rush job come up so hoping to get back to this on wednesday. i'll likely be asking for more help!

cheers

maybe i'll look into the mill pro...

the only tool i can get the .52 is with the .5 ballnose

i changed tool to .5 diameter with .03 radius and the z went to -.4426. wondering why when i change tool the z changes? do i need to pick geometry again?

the planer is the one only going to .4864

re posted and got the .5205. i changed the tool to a .375 with .02 rad for finishing. that only takes it to the .4864... When i extend the bottom i need to move it half the diameter of the tool?? ...

i just posted the toolpath out. z is going to Z-0.4864, closer to what i need but wondering how what i need to do to get it to the -.5207 that i need?

That toolpath looks like it should work, thanks! how do we make that boundary larger? Also a bit confused on the geometry selection. i had one of the Bobcad techs walk thru a different part and...

have another job i cant seem to get my toolpath to the bottom of the profile. i am wanting to surface machine three angles on my part. i only have mill level one, so the advanced surfacing options...

when i choose advanced z level finish it gives me a z level rough and z level finish option, among others.

maybe i need an upgrade?

i dont have that option...

the only place i see to extend is on the parameters page. no matter what I change the 'bottom of part' number to it only goes to around z-.9 ish. I kept changing the value of Z and around -.9 the...

i dont see the 3d extends? i found the box to check for part of tool to use, seemed to help a bit.

Need the part soon. I can machine it with my angle plate, just was hoping to use the software to make setup easier. I'd like to get it done tomorrow but can wait till tuesday.

thanks for the surface tips, i have the side extended now. I cant seem to get the toolpath to the bottom of my surface now. no matter how far i set the "bottom of job" i can't get it to go to the...

here's the step file

this work??
