I spent an hour on the phone with support yesterday. I wanted them to show me how to create a tool within BobCAD, all the poor kid did was clik around, and say..."I know there's a way...if I could only remember..." Needless to say, he never remembered.( I think tech support knows as much as I do about BobCAD...and less about machining) If someone could tell me how to do this.....I'd start machining...and quit talking so much...
I make mainly square , buttress, and acme threads for oil rig applications. eg
the square threads are using a grooving insert, and not that difficult to figure.
My main hang up, is that BobCAD does all of its figuring based on a pointed insert, and I can not figure out how to cut the threads like I need. I've been jacking with it for two days.... The geometry option within the tools area only says "CERAMIC" ...wouldn't that be insert composition....NOT GEOMETRY???...Please help
