    Meshcam ????

    Trying out Meshcam and so far nothing but problems. When g code is generated it puts the part 588 inches off the table. I'm using an stl file that is in mm , I tell it to use inches and it asks me if I want to scale it down to 4 inches ,which I say yes. I've tried everything but still puts part way off table. Called Meshcam for help 2 days ago with no response. No acceptable tutorials also. As of now I give it a big thumbs down. Maybe after I talk to owner of software I will change my mind as I like the fact that it will do 4th axis work if I could get far enough to try it??? If some knows the owner please have him return my call as you can tell I'm a little irritated

    Sounds like your not setting up your stock correctly, or your part within the stock.

    Have you emailed [email protected] ?

    Have you asked on the MeshCAM forum. Lots of helpful users there that should quickly get you straightened out.
