I tried replying form my yahoo email adress, and it repliued into a wrong group (weird) Anyway I think it'll be better to integrate a function 'Unify Normals'...
... Gerry, sometimes that is true. But, really roughing is to get most material out of the way so the finish pass can do it's job. However, with a steep...
Which photos cannot be seen? Where is there a red X? I had the same thought about the supports- I'd prefer it to be in CAD as well. Unfortunately DeskProto...
Fit-to-window fits to the stock with the assumption that the area covered by the stock is the area of interest. I had the same thought about the default stock...
Right mow the overall length is used only as a place holder and for the user to remember the tool better. Eventually it can be used to find the collisions...
I apologize for the delay getting back to everyone lately. I just quit my job earlier in the week to start a new company with a friend of mine. I hope to...
Sorry about that question about the photos! I meant on this forum, I can't see the photos not in your program. Sorry again about the poor communications on my...
perhaps this is in the works, but would it be possible to estimate the milling time? Since all you'd have to do it find out the length of each line/polyline ...
When I put my plunge rate at 2 and my feed rate at 5 on a part. It would only plunge on the first downwards movement, however since I had supports (in my...
In a sense, it's not actually plunging, it's following the surface of the model, which happens to have a vertical wall. You could use waterline which should do...
It's on the todo list when I get done with the rest of v2. It's been requested by a number of people by now so it'll probably only be a matter of time. Robert...
I just uploaded V2 build 1831 to www.grzsoftware.com/v2dl.php . It incorporates a number of bug fixes to the last release including the following: - Made...
... Wow, you've been busy, Robert! All the changes you've made work as advertised. I don't remember seeing the "flip normals" menu item before this build but...
Well since you put it that way, I know it is following a surface. Although actually the surface was over and it was just clearing stock. It was in the roughing...
I typically use a 60 or 50 degree conical or v-bit with a .025 tip radius/flat. In running samples in MeshCam, I was looking to keep my stepover resolution...
... I second that. I don't really need the v-toolright now, who knows, maybe later, but IGES and STEP would be a great addition, although I can export STLs ...
Hi, I been working with build 1831 and have the following bugs, comments, and observations. 1. The depth of cut is still not agreeing with the max depth ...
Rob, Have you tried a sample milling? I've been using a 15 degree included vee bit (max diameter 1.5mm ) with a tip flat around .1mm, step over .05mm. Version...
How are you guys using the v-cutter that field is grayed out. Does this only work on the full verison? ... included ... over .05mm. ... haven't ... gouging ...
Yes, I have cut two of my stl meshes in MeshCam in my evaluation against the currently owned MillWizard. The files in MeshCam were coming out 50% larger for...
Rob, I have been using the beta version2, currently 1831. Robert keeps up grading and posts here where to download the most recent version. To specify a vee...
I added a tapered endmill option in the V2 previews. They're available at http://www.grzsoftware.com/v2dl.php . You can simulate a vee-bit by using an endmil...
Correct- the taper is each side, or half the included angle. When I get a chance I'll add a propper vee tool option. Mixed units will work fine. All output...
On a long enough timeline I'd like to add a good feedrate optimization system but that will be pretty far down on the list give the huge ammount of work it...
