I was thinking it was in/sec and not in/min like most machines use. I didn't know if that was standard or not on multicam machines.

What is your contour type set to under cut parameters? Set it to 2D and make sure Depth Cuts is off, that should make a single pass at depth.

The feed rate in the program above can not be in in/min. A feed rate of 11.66 in/min would take over 2 minutes to cut a 6x6 square, that is insanely slow. The program I pasted above is with a 2fl....

Our company had an Multicam MG305 router that was sold off a while ago. We now have a new machine and I am trying to convert the programs over to the new machine. My issue I am having is that the...

The company I worked for had 2 of the 4x8 models, and my current company has a 5x10 on the way. All 3 axis have ball screws, no rack and pinion. We had a 10hp spindle on the 2 I used, had no power...

I pm'ed him the link to the install files you sent me, I know they work cause I am running it still on my PC. I don't remember if there was anything special I had to do. You will have to contact...

I would try a new install file. My copy of version 21 that the engine guy sent me runs fine on windows 10.

Got it installed and seems to run fine on win10 Pro 64 bit.

I really like the old style Bobcad when I want a program to go specific moves in order. I use V28 for harder stuff like pockets and 3D...

If you don't want it to drop past a certain point then use the depth options and set a bottom of job depth, this will make it so the tool path will not go below that distance.

I'm looking for the install files for version 21 as well. I have V20 on my current PC, but I just got a new one, and V20 won't run on windows 10, but V21 does. V21 was the last version that used...

I have the V20 ones installed on my computer I can send you, I think V20 and V21 were pretty much the same back then.

Does anyone have the OI-TD manuals they can send me?

also, every time I try to use the 35 degree tool (1/64 nose radius) the program crashes!

I have a lathe part where I want to rough out with 2 different tools. So I do my first pass with a 80 deg diamond tool no problem, but then I do a second roughing pass and it won't allow me to...

Actually it kind of does matter to some people. Why should I have to go thru the hassle of having to create a support ticket to get the latest updates to the software. The guy above Dlaery had to...

Did you see where I posted "I don't think you can get any downloads from their site anymore."

I don't think you can get any downloads from their site anymore. I have V28 with support subscription and I had to request the link from support. When I click on the software support buttons I get...

I have a question related to this. I have my default post processor set for my milling machine, but is it possible to set one for a lathe as well? When I go under "CAM Defaults > Current settings >...

I would do it as seprate 2D tool paths like The Engine Guy said. Exporting the edges and using 2D on flat bottom pockets and profiles is way easier to get working then doing 3D tool paths.

I believe the standard only has 2D tool paths (and maybe a few basic 3D ones) and the pro has all the 3D tool paths. They used to have a really nice chart on the website that listed the differences,...

Thanks RAF.

I am using V28 (I updated to the latest build to view dialsc's file.

I ended up using the z level finish tool path to rough it out, then used the 3D wire-frame tool path you...

Dialsc, I can't open your file, my Bobcad crashes every time I try to open it. Are you using V28?

I can't see many companies being to thrilled about going to a cloud based storage system for the many reasons that people outlined above. My company has our customer service & order entry software...

I have a part that I have to machine a 1/2" wide groove with a ball mill, but it goes from 0.25" deep to 0.75" deep along the path (See attached part file). I used a z level rough and that seems to...

I did have the wrong post selected....

Here is the code with system compensation set "On without Collision Detection"

The code above was with the System comp on without collision detection, below it with system comp off

Bobcad gives me the same...

It seems to be always around 0.01" small no matter what diameter I turn. That's why I am wondering if it's a comp error or something I am doing that it's not offsetting off the part slightly to...

So I'm still getting the wrong diameter when I do lathe programs. I usually end up being around 0.010" to small when I run the part. Below is the code I did for a 2" diameter part I programmed. As...

So how would you program cutting that knurl?

I did the trial version of HSMworks, and while we decided to stay with Bobcad for our cam package I use the HSMworks NC editor for it's back plotting. While it's only 2D I like it better then the...
