I have tried to use the Print Screen method to put the image in MSPaint but that doesent work at all for me. Is there another way to post an image from BobCad? Thanks in advance.

Will do no problem.

Everything works fine now since the update. Thanks for all the help. I have drawn a few different ones out and havent gotten exactly the look I am after yet, but the practice is helping me get more...

Thanks for the demonstration Burrman. I was able to model one like you have done. I wasent able to use the boolean union since I dont think that my software has it. I moved the rotate point 1" in...

Man BurrMan your good. I am getting an unexpected format error when I try to open the extracted file in BobCad. I really want to try out what you have done to get the idea. You made it look...

I am trying to do my first 3d shape with bobcad v22. Basically its going to be half of a pumpkin. I have made some basic shapes with the arc coordinates and then cross sectioned the surface but it...

One thing that I found to help alot is make sure the leadscrew isnt binding up. You may have to slot the holes in the mount on the right end of the machine. While I was messing with mine I also...

Yeah the C6 can be a pain. This is my 2nd board. The first one blew all the lands off the board under the RJ45 plug. I got the thing to work a couple days ago then when I tried messing with it...

I am working on getting my CNC4PC C6 card to work still and have gotten it to run wide open all the time until I hit the e-stop. I did some voltage checking and my readings are opposite of what...

I used Hoss' idea of bending a acrylic cover for the motors so the coolant and chips will run off of the covers and not the motors. Pretty easy to do he shows a video on his site. The bottoms are...

Larry you have a PM

Im in Winston Salem.

3" 3-jaw scroll, 5" 3-jaw scroll, 5" 4-jaw independent. Hardly ever use the 3" it just came with it. Unless I have to make alot of pieces that dont need to be extrememly accurate I just leave the...

I have 1 for my x2 it blew up for some reason and I sent it back to Arturo to check it and he just sent me a new one. I still havent got it to produce voltage from the output to send to the motor. ...

Look on www.mini-lathe.com and www.littlemachineshop.com they have articles on threading with the mini lathes. Its not that hard, and you need to learn to do it sometime anyway, because there will...

Looks good Hoss, its nice to have everything all in one place and neat, especially if you have to troubleshoot anything. Tracing wires through a squirrels nest is fun.

I used Roton on mine also they are a bit of a challange. I ground the corners off some and ground a small groove to allow the nut to sit flat. It was alot of grinding and fitting to get it to work....

Yeah there the new pilot point. I had some other pilot points in the past and didnt care for them really but with the exception of these twisting up they seem to work pretty good. Its a shame to...

I myself would cut the threads with a threading tool while it was chucked up. The outside of my screws were fairly hard and the inside was better but still tough. A die would probibly be fine on...

Cobalt on the blister pack. I dont even bother with HSS with all the crappy Stainless I have to drill with the cordless. I'll have to see if I can get a pic to show the twist in the shank vs. a new...

While you have the brushes out look inside at the Commutator that the brushes ride on. Sometimes they can get glazed up and make a motor act up. Also check the springs on the brushes sometimes the...

Check out Shars or Discount Machine tool on Ebay. Sometimes you can get a 2 inch head shank and bars for under $40. I have a 2" head for mine and agree with Hoss its about perfect in size. Any...

:cheers: Congrats Hoss. I have made several clicks on this post like many others. This is the post to show all of the people that say "those little mills like that are junk you cant do anything...

I done the same thing on mine, I changed the diameter a little so I could quit hitting the other handles. Feels quite different than the cheap plastic cranks doesent it? It takes a little cutting...

Just a little heads up maybe, either they really suck now or all I bought were from a bad run. At work most of my drilling is in Stainless. I dont mind using the Dewalt and other cobalt bits from...

I have had some problems with the smaller ti coated drills galling the chips to the bit. In fact almost every time vs. almost never with a bright bit. Some say not to use ti coated on alum. some...

Havent tried the hotkey myself actually. I'll look and see what happens. That was what was given to me off of the mach groups site.

Bone stock mill? High or low range? When it kicks is there any chips built up on the bit, whether packed in the flutes or on the lands themself? Is the bit coated, bright, black, makes a...

Email from me also.
