I just posted a new test release of the zmap-free parallel finishing. Details can be found at http://www.grzsoftware.com/news/2007/08/04/test-release/ . ...
Robert, I am concerned with the speed of 6512. I ran a file (27 meg ring in mm) the other day with no over sample, .0025 tolerance... under a minute including...
Can you send me the stl and tell me what tool and stepover you used? There are several parameters that need to be tuned and I'm not sure I've made the right...
Robert, Here is the model (raw and zipped) and screen shots of the details. I'm not even sure that I am happy with the design (enough to cut and cast though) ...
Hi Robert! I've just been testing out the latest (greatest) 6512 in HDU for small project. So far so good. It's been a moment since I've used MeshCAM but I'm...
Hi I am trying to use the 2 side- machining but can't get it to work I keep getting an error message when I define the stock; nothing I try seems to work does...
From: "csirocnc" <paul.rusconi@...> ... Hi Paul, the stock size needs to be part size + (2 x cutter diameter) + (2 x perimeter frame width) as a minimum....
Hello all: I've done a fair bit of research on this discussion group, and cannot find any previous in-depth discourse that satisfies my questions...yet. I'm...
Bob, In the files section of this group in JeffD are 4 posts which I use which handle tool changes. They might not be elegant (or even error free, they are...

Hello all: I've finally come to realization that the software programs we use to simulate the milling processes are only as good as the information we enter...
Bob, I'm not privy to Roberts interpretation but here is what works for me... 1. Over all length = kind of just like it sounds, the measure of the tool bit...
Jeff - Thanks for your reply. Your item 3. got cut off short on my end. Reads, "...if a tapered bit then the " Sorry for my hardheadednes here, I'm still not...
Bob and Jeff, please allow me to jump in here. Well, you can't stop me now anyway! :-) Neither Meshcam or Cutviewer deal with anything other than the envelope...
Thanks, Randy. What you've provided tells me a lot. I've been so hung up on entering ever small dimension. From what you've said I should only be concerned...
Bob, Sorry about the missing end of #3. Flute diameter is a really important part of tapered tools, I went on to talk about tapper and forgot to finish #3 ... ...

Sorry for the delay- I've been travelling for the past few days. I even survived a level 8 typhoon. I think Randy gives a good summary about the current state...
I haven't been following the message listings to much lately, so I hope I am not repeating anything that's already been posted, though I tried searching thru...

Thanks for the heads up. My credit card expired and I didn't realize it. My web host sent me a warning about my paypal expiring and put the wrong customer...
I haven't been paying much attention to the digests lately so my apologies if I'm beating the proverbial deceased equine here... What's the latest on the...
I wanted to do more with scripting but I've been spending all of my time on the new toolpath code. I didn't anticipate how long this would take. 1) I need to...
The shank diameter does have a meaning for collision detection. Endmills less that .125" are usually only available with a .125" shaft and they don't have very...
Another suggestion (as if you need it;-). In the past I have asked for a way to save the settings used when generating the tool path, i.e.; rotation, stock...
Hi, I was just wondering about two things, roughing and slices. I know that when you are choosing the options to generate a toolpath, there is a option for a...
What am I doing wrong? The files I come up with need to be started .035 lower than zero. In other words the first pass starts at Z0.000, runs the pass cutting...
