    F^<k'd Up Parts Pictures Thread

    Just setting myself up for what is inevitable...

    I hope to see pictures and read stories of failures, and how you fixed the problem.

    A picture of the Good and Bad part please.

    ill be the first

    setup an op to drill 4 holes, set my r plane and z clearance correctly but learned that in gibbscam when you drill 4 holes as a group, it wont use the z clearance plane correctly. fixed it by doing each hole on its own, 4 extra mouse clicks so not too bad....broke a carbide drill and this is the damage it did...what waste of $45ish

    I believe a G99 vs G98 affect the retract height. At least it does on my machine.

    its a bug in either gibbscam or in my post processor. i already submited a ticket on the issue so hopefully its a post issue and they can fix it...either way not a big deal to just click the hole one by one and do the op.
