Andre I have already had a quote from Anne which is fine All I was trying to do was run the processor or put it through the motion before I commited my money. ...
Jim, The procedure for installing a later version is very straightforward if the current version has the same major release number. You have Vs 9.1.1007 so the...
Andre, OK I will do that, Have you read further on my problem with the postprocessor or should i try the new version first (Maybe that would be better) unless...
Steve, I have tried it now and it appears to work. Obviously it wont save the processed file but In the past it used to show you at the bottom of the drawing...
Hi I am trying to set up a pp for turbocnc. I do the cam part in radius, but when I post it the program is written in diameter. The post I am using is below. ...
If memory serves me right remove the section. AXES: YSCALE 2 END: But Steve B will tell you that Diameter mode is better anyway as WYSIWYG on the DRO's and...
... I think there may be something else too, no time to look this morning, will have a look tonight. ... Absolutely. Much better in Diameter mode ... Ditto <G>...
... That post may have had faulty K parameters anyway for arcs in Diameter mode - It should have been #K = { (($YCEN/2) -$OLDY):YARC } For radius it's...
-Thanks Steve I am going to upgrade to mach3, waiting for the "back to school" specials on a comp. I have been running the lathe on turbo for several years and...
... I think I'm correct in saying I was the first person to use a lathe with Mach <G>. Was early Mach2 at the time, Art developed Mach3 turn from that with a...
How do I define a Woodruff type cutter for he CAM module. I have tried drawing it in CAD specifing the type, dia etc. and defining contours but all I get it a...
Hello Ted, When you have drawn the tool to the correct size, you need to create a contour of the shape, when you do this the datum point must be on the centre...
... Easiest is ignore the shank and just define an end mill 12.7mm diameter with a cut depth of 3mm. You may need to experiment with the contours and job types...

The option tab on milling a contour that disables the tool retract at the end of cut when unchecked does not seem to work consistantly. On the example I am...
As a PS I am also finding the code getting a retract inserted part way round a contour (a different example of a small hole than above)but not at the end of...
This is out of sequence but this sounds like the same problem as the next message where the start and end points of the contour are not coincident. ATB Andre ...
This is most probably caused by overlaps in the original geometry, if you zoom in close enough you will see the problem. The overlap causes a change of...
