Thanks. I shall see if i can get my hands on it somewhere around here.

Meanwhile, i found som examples in the mastercam-folder, so i tried it out.
But i can't get it to look like in the tutorial...

Ok thanks for the reply.
What book would you recommend?

Hi guys!

I have recently started planning a 4:th axis for my mill. I am thinking about simply adding a small lathe chuck to my table, so that the workpiece is parallel with the X axis.

However...

Thanks a lot! That was exactly what is was looking for :)

Hello guys.
I have a (hopefully) simple question about Helix entry in pocket toolpaths.
As you can see the helix is off-center so the endmill has to travel trough full width of material when moving...

Ok thanks for your replys, i will play around with it some more.

Thanks, i have played around a bit with that file, however it doesn't "touch off" the Z (is that even possible to do simply with g-code?), and also it doesn't seem to be possible to probe while the...

Hello.
I recently started using EMC2 and it seems really neat. However i'm a bit confused about the probing part.

I read about "Z-axis touch plate" for Mach3 and that seems like a really neat...

Wow, i hadn't noticed it was a V7 post, now after running the post conversion it works great! :)
Thanks a lot for your help!

I'm using Mastercam X (10.0.12.2)

I'll try to look trough the Control definition settings and see if i spot something, but i don't even know what to look for honestly :) thanks for your help.

Ok, here it is.

Hi.
Where can i add this? Can i edit the postprocessor-file directly or how do i do it?

I removed line numbering in the settings so now i only have to remove the multiple Z-commands, however in...

Hi.
I have let it download completely and then hit play, same problem. I'll try to record the sound from it somehow and post it for you, if i can figure out how to do that :)

EDIT: I extracted...

Thank you, another great video :)

Ps. Is it just me or does anyone else have problems with the sound in these videos?
I don't know how to describe it but it sounds like there is some speeded up...

That video was great cadcam, first time i understood how to do pockets from 3D-models :)

Do you happen to have any other videos out there or is it just this one so far?
Looking forward to more...

Ah, too bad :(
Could you recommend any other application that would do what i want?

Thanks.

Hello, i'm trying to vectorize a JPG-image and convert it to DXF so i can engrave it.
However i don't get any results.

The first image is what it looks like after tracing bitmap in Inkscape,...

I have the exact same question, wonder why they are gone :confused:

I got the second problem fixed by reading a bit about how G2/G3 works, i then added lead in and lead out to the pocket (wich i should have done anyway) so that one is fixed.

However the first...

Hello.

I'm using Mastercam X2 and EMC2 v2.1.6 using the EMCMPFAN postprocessor in Mastercam.
Overall the g-code works fine but a couple of things i have to edit every time, wich becomes a bit...

cadcam> Thanks! That's exactly what i was looking for :) could you please tell me how you did it?
I tried drawing a rectangle, solid extrude (cut body), and then adding a contour toolpath. But it...

Hello.
I'm currently trying to learn Mastercam and i have a question :)

How can i machine out the part i have painted in black in the picture?
The piece is 10 millimeters thick and the "pocket"...

Ok now i'm beginning to get something.
Switched to half step and lowered the current to 1Amp = 650rpm and much smoother running.
I can go up to about 700rpm but then i can stop the motor with my...

JRoque> The motors doesn't have any load currently. They are just sitting on my desk :)
Yes, the inductance is pretty high :( too bad I didn't think of that when i bought them.. it's my first time...

Hello.
Yes I have played around with acceleration a bit and at this moment 333rpm is the fastest i can get without any tendency to stall.
If I increase it to 350rpm it starts stalling now and...

Hello guys!
I just assembled the electronics for my under construction CNC mill, however i'm having trouble getting any speed out of the motors.

Driver is a simple circuit based on L297 and L298,...

Thanks, i googled around a bit and read about vref, this is what i came up with:

Schematic: http://i20.tinypic.com/2emdkx0.png
PCB: http://i23.tinypic.com/28lg9c8.png

This allows me to adjust...

Ok, thanks.

Another question, i'm trying to run a small motor from a printer (don't have any other specifications for it other than "10 ohms", unfortunatley), and it get REALLY hot just after a...

I'm sorry, i don't understand what you mean, i'm not good at reading schematics :) what does it do?

I just found the problem (embarassing) if you look at my schematic OUT1, BOOT1 and OUT2, BOOT2 are the wrong way around on the motor outputs, so i switched them and now it seems to work :) thanks a...
