I just uploaded a PDF version of the help file to the files section of this group. I haven't spent any time formatting it for PDF so the help file tool I use...
Thanks, Looks like the help will do fine. ... From: meshcam@yahoogroups.com [mailto:meshcam@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Robert Grzesek Sent: Thursday, August...
I just got the Taig 2019 ER-CR with 430 oz stepper motors. I was wondering what feedrates would be good for an 1/8" square end mill working on grey PVC or...
Thanks Robert. However I can't open or download the file :( Is anyone else having this problem?? Victor ... section of ... help ... isn't ... packaging ... the...
If you are planning on machining pvc, you are going to need a combination of high feed rates, and slow cutter speeds. If you try to route pvc, with your...
I'm having a problem with Meshcam. Think I have pretty much exhausted the manual and playing around. I have a part a 2.5" long and about 3/4" wide. My zero is...
I know this one... ;-) Select the "CAM" menu, then select "Set Program Zero". Click on the "W" button in the XY Offset compass coordinate cluster, and the...
Thanks Paul. The problem is that in my version of Meshcam under the CAM menu, there is only Define Stock, Set Max Depth, Set Retract Height, and Generate...
Go to http://www.grzsoftware.com/v2dl.php and get one of the V2 work-in-progress releases. The older one is more stanble but the newer one has more bug...
Fixed the problem. Had to go to V2 and I have that option now. Thanks! Scott Meyer http://www.penpride.com http://www.onlyonecreations.com Creating artistic...
I created an .stl file in Acad. It is essentially three pie shapes that are cut out of a perfect cylinder. MeshcamV2 demo cut the periphery as a series of...
MeshCam doesn't do arcs. I have found that to get smooth arcs the stl has to be exported with a high triangulation setting. Sorry I don't know the exact...
Hi, I am new to CAM and MeshCAM, and I was wondering if it is feasible to attempt to mill a part that is slightly too large for the travel of my mill. What I...
I think it should be possible, the real killer is going to be "reposition the stock". You are also going to have to have tram dead on. If you are off at all...
Cheers and thanks for the link :) I had intended to build some sort of precision clamping and repositioning system - probably with just two fixed positions...
You don't have to put the centre of rotation at the middle X of the part. Graham's third solurion is also VERY good, not that any of us really need an excuse...
I think I must have had too much coffee and not enough sleep today - sure enough, I cranked out my table to max X and Y and there is room to rotate a...
Hi, I have been trying to mill using a roughing and finishing pass, and the results are not what I've been expecting! Either the roughing pass is way too slow,...
Does nobody have a clue about this? I have been playing with the various settings in MeshCAM's G-code generation, and I now have things which simulate fine,...

If you have a verification tool like Cut Mill you can quickly see what your end part will look like. This lets you change stepover and quickly see if you can...
... Yes, that is what I do. I set the oversampling so that, together with the finishing stepover, the zmap resolution is .001" (e.g. .010" finishing stepover...
Hi all. Using Meshcam is it only possible to machine from the top down? or is it possible to machine up one side, change the B axis angle then down the other...
Although you may be able to come up with a way to achieve something like that it would be very difficult. Also, MeshCAM cannot calculate the offset of a...
