  1. Re: CNC 6040 - X-Axis stutters and Jitters when moving x-, x+ is fine

    To me that sounds like a bearing that is running really ruff in the negative direction. What are they using for bearings?

    Re: Mach3 Cutter radius compensation

    I've never used a tool changer. In the event that I do I'll keep this in mind. Thanks for this. Would it be possible for you to explain the use of T0 a bit further?

    Re: Mach3 Cutter radius compensation

    I lost track, I started getting busy with a change in product and R&D went a little crazy.



    That’s not what I found to be. This is how I interpret the wear offset to work in Mach3. In Tool...

    Re: Mach3 Cutter radius compensation

    I'll be going out to the shop today at some point, It's a couple of miles from where I live, and test this on my router. If it works as well as my testing at home seems to show it does, I won't be...

    Re: Mach3 Cutter radius compensation

    AHH! I figured it out. You can enter the tool diameter in the DRO but it's not a very well documented procedure as far as I can tell and isn't straight forward at all. So I've been testing this for...

    Mach3 Cutter radius compensation

    Is it possible to create G-code using a generic size cutter, say a .375 then after loading the code into Mach3 use the DRO pictured here to compensate for a cutter size of say .342. If it is possible...
  7. Re: CamBam not generating proper dimensional code.

    Good to know about the negative clearance that could come in rather handy at times. I have some Mach3 questions that I'll be asking in a day or two in an appropriate spot. Perhaps you'll be able to...
  8. Re: CamBam not generating proper dimensional code.

    UUGH! not what I expected. So now I just played around with the rough and finish step over and get it. It all makes sense now, I put garbage in and got garbage out. SO I WAS DOING SOMETHING stupid....
  9. Re: CamBam not generating proper dimensional code.

    Here are the Zipped art files and the code. It's got to be something I'm doing, like a setting or an offset table that I haven't figured out yet. Also, FYI I have re-tuned the motors on both the X...
  10. Re: CamBam not generating proper dimensional code.

    No it's a 3/8" bit and it's specified in the tool table as a 3/8" End Mill and 3/8" is specified as the tool diameter. Here's the tell though, when I generate the code using BobCam the code is...
  11. CamBam not generating proper dimensional code.

    So I use CamBam for one reason, I can generate holding tabs. Recently I came up with a project that for me is rare. I have to hold a fairly tight tolerance on a circle and a rectangle. That said,...
