is some one could tell me where i could find any picture about 4 by 6 inch and with setup in meshcam and with is the best tool size and shape is the best to...
Sorry for the delay in my reply. I just looked through my code and realized that plunge_rate_move never got implemented. The plunge rate speed in respected...
The best way to do it quickly would be to post the roughing pass separately with a modified post processor config to change the variable names. I could add a...
I've actually been working on a custom version of MeshCAM for a potential reseller that will require the reroughing option you mention. If it ends up moving...
Robert, From reading this list I am sure that there are at least a few other people really like to fine tune as many parameters as possible. Maybe a compromise...
Robert, Is there any plan in the future works for 4 axis code?( Like you don't have enough going on right. ) Ken Ferrell -- No virus found in this outgoing...
Ken, You'll find a list here that tells you what is being worked on. And indeed, 4 axis machining is one of them. http://www.grzsoftware.com/todo.php ... ...
Robert, I've been playing with the bitmap feature with less than great success. Being lazy I haven't yet tested it with small images but a job came along ...
Hi Bob, I will be watching your software with much interest. I have done tons of jewelry via bmp and jpeg using Artcam. Since leaving the company I worked for...
What am I doing wrong, I am trying to work out the g-code for a hydrogen cell lid that has 86 slots in it which come out just great as long as I made the...

It sounds to me that a 2.5D program would do a faster job of that than Meshcam. Sheetcam is one I use for simple stuff. However, Are you using the waterline...
You can find a free utility called STL_UTIL at this site that can convert from .stl to .dxf assuming you used .stl to get into Meshcam. It will also convert...
Could someone please explain how this feature works, and provide an example of when to use it. Also what does Max surface angle do, and is it related to...
Hello all, Been awhile since I've been around. To much outside work to play around with my newly found much loved hobby. But I am into building another larger...
I need to start running one of my Taig mills with Mach 2/3, partly because I think it would be good, and partly because so many of my customers ask me Mach...
Hi Nick, I just started upgrading my Taig to CNC, and am testing Mach 2/3 right now. I got a used eMachines (about a year and a half old). According to the...
I understand that you can't do truely vertical walls with MeshCAM. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this. I have a square pocket where I need truely vertical...
Dave, For the few times when I really need vertical walls I use a waterline path after the raster path. Set min angle to 89 and use a straight end mill. Jeff ...
I running Mach3 on an old Dell laptop with a P3 750MHz CPU. I had to jump through the hoops outlined in the Mach3 group to make a laptop work well, but not...
... Dave, what I would do is to make a 2D drawing of the pocket, on the same coordinates of your 3D drawing, then generate the pocket in Sheetcam. Splice this...
Thanks for the great answers everyone, and I just realized that I asked this on the meshcam, rather than the Mach2 group (my kids are destroying my brain!) ...
Robert; Any idea if the annilam m will run on an annilam 11 we have one at school and I'm trying my damndest to get it tried out, but all we have is weired...
I'd like to be a more involved Meshcam user, but things have been too busy here to use it much without a real job to do....well, that dropped on my lap the...
Hi Ken, I have an anilam 1100 and it runs meshcam very well. I use the minumum g code post in meshcam and save the file as .M to a floppy . e mail me and ill...
