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...
I've been using MeshCAM Pre2.0 Build Number 2349 for a little over a month now and am quite pleased with it except for one thing: The inflexibility of the...
I know some friends already who have met a few nice honeys off of this kind of stuff (here is the place they use: http://www.wematchem.info/pvcl , but what...

Robert, I know is going to be an extra burden, but I think it's time some filters were put on the membership of the group to filter out this trash. Don...
Met my fiance here! hehe. Thought I should share it with any other guys who are worried about ending up alone like I was. Check it out...

I have a paid commercial license for MeshCAM. I have V1.18 which works fine. I downloaded MeshCAM 2 build 2349 and installed it. When I run it, it says it is...
I agree with your summary of the problem with supports. The main mistake I made was to make the align top and bottm work against the stock top and bottom- not...
Hi Robert and Happy New Year, I've been reading about "plunge roughing" or "drill roughing" as it is sometimes called. It is supposedly of most use on...
I've had a couple of requests for this and I'd be willing to try it if I had more input for people. 1) How many people are interested? 2) Does anyone have any...
I would'nt mind as long as the toolpath does'nt get longer to machine; I use to set a "coarser" value for the roughting. I wonder what are you looking for...
Simplicity is the goal. I'm adding some new toolpath stuff but I don't want the dialog to be any more complicated than it is now. Any suggestions in that...
Please, don't make TOO simple; do keep options available... So far, I'm happy with the current toolpath dialogs. I'm wore kinda waithing for new feature such...
To my thinking, plunge roughing would be a nice fast way of removing material, but I think it would complicate things quite a bit. By removing a bunch of round...
Robert, I too vote for all the bells and whistles possible. Maybe bury the fancy (but optional parameters) one screen level deeper... a radio box to use ...
I also don't see plunge roughing helping me much either. I also make molds and 'air cutting' is mostly my problem. I could script something up to remove the...
Having the ability to run multiple "smart" roughing passes would be really nice. Switch to a small bit and ignore cleared areas. And yes I do sometimes hand...
