Hello,
Another thing that is worth mentioning, I feel limited by Onecnc mill express not having the ability to draw solids. I do not feel that I would use some of the more complicated "mold"...

Dave,
I believe I spoke too soon, I did not know that your control has geometry offsets... So your control has a page with Geometry and Wear offsets, and also a work coordinate shift? In that...

Hello,
I'm sure many are passing your topic by because this is a very loaded question! :) many a CNC thread war has been started with a question like yours....

Dave,
My 6T control does not have the capability to change how the wear offsets are called in, but your control may. I do not have geometry or work offsets, so I have to set the G50 at each...

Dave,

Not to pee in your Wheeties, but a Dremel might not really have enough balls to do any serious routing. For what you are doing, I think the best thing to do would be to cut blanks with a...

Ok,
Thanks again for the help! I had looked at the 4140HT, and I believe that also gives a very nice surface finish compaired to the 10XX series steels? A local shop that I buy small pieces of...

"so when you watch the guys on OCC with the big huge HAAS system, they use the computer to draw the rough pattern, then program the rest manually?"

No, they design and program in CAD/CAM...

Yo,
Unless the program is really long and complex and larger than the memory than the machine, the computer is just for designing, making the code, and sending it to the machine. I would...

Dave,
Thanks for the link, unfortunately they only sell that drill in 12 packs... I ordered a 135 cobalt Cleveland drill, and a backup just in case.....

Hello,

Mottor,
For the Ikegai AX20 with 6T-A control, an M12 command will cause the next tool change to happen in reverse of the normal direction. Insert them as need before your tool call "T0101"...
