Next time don't tell them that you crashed the machine unless of course you really messed things up. It will save you $600.00. That is what the warranty is for. IMO

I had a very good friend that use to sell FADALs thru a company in Idaho called MACH3CNC. Last year he seems to have dropped off the planet. I have called both mobile and home only to find the...

I was told that SurfCAM did not work with Windows 7 x64. We are using SurfCAM Velocity 4 on a XP Pro x64 Intel i5, 8.0 Gb RAM machine with no problems at all. The x64 is for SolidWorks as stated by...

Try importing the TechDb instead. Be sure that you do not have SolidWorks running when doing this.

CAMWorks is still in the R&D phase. There is so many items that are not right. We have been telling GT about issues but they never seem to look at them. It is very sad. Mine will not save tool...

BY not "working" what do you mean? Is the pump motor starting? If so, is the motor turning the correct direction? If the motor is turning the wrong direction then your power is phased wrong. I...

We finally were able to install SW2009 and CW2009 x64. So far so good. As for the new site.. It looks nice. The user forum is way messed up though.

The Haas post is uploaded here. This is for a VF-2 and was made with CW 2008-08. You will notice it was compiled in October of 2008. If you require any changes, please contact me. I make no...

Steve,
I will send this to you on Monday if I remember.

Have you tried to insert the line of code using the controls' built in "canned" program? Is this the first time you have received this error?

You probably need to replace the G53 with G49.

You do not need a solid part to have CAMWorks work. I use just sketches all the time. You may need to create seperate sketches for each of the individual profiles though.

Just use open...

It really does not matter what your intended use(s) are. The machine still draws a certain amount of current when starting and stopping. I would expect based on our 4020 10K machine that at 208V,...

Sounds like you need to get a current version of SolidWorks. You will not be able to open any native SolidWorks files created in SW after the current version you have. The only way around this is...

You basically need any program that will convert a raster image to a vector image. As stated above Corel has a program. We use an Adobe program. Be forwarned that the process in most cases is not...

Is FADAL going to be represented at Westec? I received my packet and did not see them listed in the exhibitors list. Does anyone have any insight as to the direction that FADAL is going? I have...

If you provide me with your email address I will send you the ms.dll file. It is located in the CamWorks root directory. One note, I do not know if mine will work with your configuration as I am...

A little more information would be helpful. What OS are you using? What versions of SolidWorks and CW are you using? What SP's for both?

My guess is that unknown to you, Microsoft did an...

I think that he said that he did not have ridgid tap!

Use a Bore-Bore command with out a dwell at the end.

First off, has the university environment changed that much since I was in Engineering School? I mean, that really sucks for a prof to say here is a project you must complete and by the way, we will...

Steve,
I replied to your PM.

I have a 2001 REMANUFACTURED FADAL VMC 3016 that needs to leave to make room for a new HAAS. This is a basic machine.

Umbrella type tool changer.
10K air/oil spindle.
4th axis wired.

Let...

We have delt with the same problems. We warm our spindles for at least an hour prior to running long programs.

103 degrees F seems normal. Our Fadal service rep. always told us "warm to the...

I know that Fadals, depending on the vintage, have a very hard time with helical interpolation.

Scott,
Let me know which source file you need. I have most of the files going way back. Maybe I could get you one that is close and you can modify. It may not be the money but it sure is the...

You can download CamWorks software at www.teksoft.com, username: CWUSER, Password: coolstuff.

IMO your VAR is a POS for not supplying you with the necessary information you need to get the job done. You purchased the software from them and you probably have yearly maintenance agreements you...

It is so easy even a caveman can.... Yeah right. One does have to understand GT's 'program language' to work on the posts. If VisuallMill is easy and working for you, I would suggest that you stay...
