I would post on the CandCNC forum on yahoo. Tom checks that one alot more than the other forums. I have one of his systems, excellent support.

Keith,

Start you line then hold the shift key and right click the mouse. This should bring up the Osnap defaults. Pick perpendicular from the list. Doing this will make perpendicular the default...

In Sheetcam use the job report button. It is right next to the run post processor button. This will give you a detailed report.

I would recommend looking for a used Hypertherm. I bought a used 1000 for $1,200 with a machine and hand torch. Talk to your local welding repair facility, thats how I found mine. I was getting parts...

Thanks

I'm using Autocad 2011 and need to restore a file. When I change the .bak extension to .dwg and try to open the file, I get an Autocad Message that says:Drawing file is not valid. Any suggestions?...

I did find a place to bend them. The final price was $18.50 each with shipping included. I think this was a fair price. Curious to see what what others would charge for the parts?

No,the tolerances don't need to be that tight. Just did a rough drawing. The updated specs are below. I looked for a supplier online, but I didn't have any luck. I can change the size if there is a...

I'm quoting a job for a customer and need some parts rolled. What type of machine is needed to make the part included on the PDF?

I'm wanting to make a jumper wire with a alligator clamp to go from my ground clamp to my steel. I was wanting to know if anybody knew what size was needed. I have a 1000.

Thanks

Jim,

I spoke to the tech line and it was alot less painless and cheaper than I thought it was going to be. I believe it is the fan that needs to be replaced. I wish other companies I dealt with...

I was changing out the consumables on the machine torch and had a problem. The red fault lite is flashing and the power on is green and flashing. When I turn the power switch off, the lites...

Thanks,

I have a machine torch on my 1000 and I'm looking for a part. I looked on the website but couldn't find any manual. I need the gray adapter that mounts to the black tube in the housing. Its 1-3/8" in...

I'm looking @ a Bantam pneumatic press brake. Its 4' long with 12 ton capacity. I'm not looking to bend real heavy stuff. I was curious if anybody has had any experience with these press brakes?

When I try to text explode the text under text aligned it won't explode it. Is there a setting that I need to change. Also does the dwgtool let you create text along an arc.

I was curious does anyone have any suggestions for creating text along an arc. I've done it in MasterCam but I don't have access to this any more. I was wanting to know if there are any addons for...

I was wanting to know if there was any add on for AutoCad to make machinable text. I'm using AutoCad 2008. Right now I have to do the design AutoCad and the text in Vectric. Not a big deal, but was...

I told him to move the target blocks because I watched a tech from Multicam do this. He worked for Multicam and this is what he said to do. They have slots in them for a reason.

The one I run has a stepper system so I don't know if its the same. On ours you have aluminum blocks with slots, we unplug our motors and move the gantryto where the homing switches begin to be lit...

These routers are built like tanks. I've programmed and ran one for about six years now and they will cut about anything. Good luck on them having any schematics. They weren't very good at...

I think I pretty much figured out my problems. I need to do some work on my Z axis. The plate my router is mounted to has some flex. This has been a interesting journey. Just when I thought I had...

Yes thats my machine and yse the pinion is spring loaded. Its changed since those pictures. I think I figured out my corner to corner square problem. I had to adjust one of my home switches on the x...

I'm having a problem with my router. I have ran test parts and this is what they come out looking like. The square is 4"x4" outer and 2"x2" inner. The inner corners are not the same. Corner to corner...

I did go ahead and buy it. It had been mainly used for cutting 10 and 12 ga. I got kind of lucky on this one. I was talking to a guy at a welder repair place and he told me about it. I figured that...

I have a chance to buy a used 1000 with mechanical torch and hand held for $1,200. I've read alot about the 45, is it that much better than the 1000. I plan on mainly cutting 1/4" or less. Any...
