Hello fellow Novakon owners,
I was hoping to see if any of you had incurred a problem similar to mine. I am setting up my Pulsar with stepper motors in Mach3. I was performing some test cuts to verify the mill capability after measuring/adjusting steps per pulse and backlash. My current feature I am trying to machine is 1" circle, 3" circle and 1" box with a .25" endmill. I performed to axis calibrations with a 4" gauge block and the circles are uniform when cut. My machined results are .020" smaller than the dimension I wanted. The error doesn't scale from the 1" to the 3" circle (same .020 error on 1" and on 3" circle). I think I am just missing something simple... I'm almost there! My cam software is VisualMill. I didn't have this problem with my converted G0704 so this error is new to me. Any thoughts of what I should look at? I thought I went over everything but obviously I'm missing something! Thanks in advance for your help.
Dustin
