I would like to know also

I agree, I keep getting offers to buy back my V25 and upgrade to V27. I don't want to spend the money only to get an (obsolete?) old version and in a month or two a new better one is out

yes I was really hoping to see this also, just going to be another unanswered promise.

There is no Z movement in N05, at this point in your program the z axis should be at a point higher than your part Z zero
I don't use G53 so am a little rusty on its proper use.

On line N02...

Hi, Line N05 looks good to me, moving to the start coordinates at a safe Z level to clear any fixtureing and / or clamps, then picking up the tool length (N06) rapid to .2 above, then .1 above, (you...

Also, I'm confused about the difference between "Machine Compensation" and "System Compensation". Can anyone help me there?


Thanks

Hi guys, I am trying to learn, not start any problems. when I said "if your part zero is bottom of part, (which I use almost exclusively for my second/finish operations)" I meant where I work now is...

That is also totally unbelievable

I totally disagree with the above

In my experience G90 Z0 will take you to part zero, if your part zero is bottom of part, (which I use almost exclusively for my second/finish operations) and you...

mmoe, your replies are well thought out and I always learn from them, your patience in answering "dumb" questions from some of us that have trouble figuring out how to do things is appreciated. Happy...

Hello all, I am probably to late with a reply but I will anyway. One thing I noticed was the finish tool lead in was vertical, from my experience a vertical lead in is not the right way to go if you...

I must have misunderstood also, because it seemed incredibly harsh and unproductive to me also. The guy is new and just trying to learn

Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated

Big Chips, wow awesome!! I knew there had to be a easy (relatively) way to do this. It took me about 2 minutes to do your tweak, and it works just like I wanted. Thanks a lot.

bobcad guy,
not really. 12 to 25 programs a day, 6 days a week, 8 to 15 tools per program and then having to manually enter tool data in the comments section. It would be easier and more accurate...

Tony thank for your answer. I have been looking to do exactly that. It almost worked, but I have one issue that I would really appreciate if you could help with, the below example, copied from my...

No, it is one small part of a more complex part, it would have been pointless to explain the rest of the part as this is where my issue is. :bs:

Thanks for your answer, there it is.

But all I want to do is mill the dove tail .175 deep, on a six inch square, ie. X0 Y0, x6.0 y0, x6.0 y6.0, x0 y6.0, x0y0. at z-.175. I need to go into...

Hello all,
I"m having an issue I hope someone can help me with,
a) I need to mill a dovetail,
b) I made up a dovetail cutter and saved it to my "milling tool library",
c) I have the dovetail...

Any BobCad users from New Hampshire planning on going to the Nashua, NH (Manchester) - Training Seminar in July? 7-24 to 7-26 on v25.

I like this idea, I second this one

Nice work, these videos were well done, very informative. Also I can't believe you are willing to give your DXF files away, that is real generous. thanks.

I had the same problem when I first installed BBC on my computer. The simulations worked fine for a couple of days, probably because they were tiny. Once I tried to simulate a larger part program the...

I am having trouble understanding your definition of G54 and G55, To me G54 through G59 they are the standard machine G codes used to establish your part zero, ie, 4 part set-ups on one machine, part...

I have to change the GCode after the fact.

I have listened to episodes one and two, and thought they were pretty good. I have to agree with turmite, the background music is way too long, and too loud. As for the content, I found it...

Great tips on the two free sites, useful info. thanks for the heads up Switcher

Hello, New guy here. I am a cnc machinist, vmcs mostly. I do some programing, trouble shoot new programs, ect. I am always looking for useful knowledge, and hope I find some here, looks promising
