Just a suggestion- Edit the Meshcam ".con" file you post with (use Notepad or Wordpad), change the file extension line to ".tap". Quickest way I've found . ...
Or just rename the .nc file to have a .tap extension. Andy Wander Verrex Corporation ... From: Bob Gray [mailto:rbgray@...] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004...
First I would like to thank all who responded to the above, Jerry, you hit the nail right on the head, yes I need help in learning to draw a 3D solid drawing...
Like I said before, tell me what you want to model, and I'll tell you how to go about it. There are a few different ways to model with solids. Gerry ... ...
Thank you Gerry,I will take a look at tutorials, I notice in 2000 cad there are some samples like cone, sphere, and about five other shapes in draw dropdown,...
Ed, a better place for this discussion would be the CNCZONE, on the AutoCAD section. It's a little off topic here. And, I happen to be the moderator at the...
Hello Gerry, firstly I would like to thank you for the web sites you posted, I actually did my first 3D solid drawing in a tutorial by Ellen Finkelstein titled...
Looking at the photos section I see the vertical lines cut in the parts being made. My results are the same. Also the cowboy and young boy photos came out...
Hi Trent, The picture of the cowboy was done with a 1/8" ball end mill. I forget what the step over was. It would have looked even better using a 1/16 ball...
... 1/16 and .005? Must have taken awhile. How does one run the machine for that long and offer the product at a low enough price to sell it? Thanks for the...
Trent, The cowboy picture was an 8"x10" and took about an hour and 10 minutes to do. The young boy is 4"x4" and took about 30 minutes. Both were done in the...
An hour or so is doable. I'm ordering some smaller bits today. I wonder how deep one can cut with a smaller bit on one pass. Would the horizontal force...
Trent, I'm feel sure you could tweek the drawing and the program to get the time down to a reasonable level. Depends a lot on your machine, machine software,...
Oh Yea, Actually I was in the back row, played the trombone. Good one though. ... From: "trent2530" <TrentJordan25@...> To: <meshcam@yahoogroups.com>...
I have purchased meshcam and used it on several projects. So i think i know of what i speak. What Meshcam needs desperatly is the ability to skip steps that...
You've probably read here about my intention to have the waterline code only cut the verticals and the parallel code only cut the flats. This requires a...
I know you guys are wrapped up in your DIY-CNC machines and all. But I only see 5 folders with photos of work or toolpath captures. So far I've only used...

Hi Neil, What machine do you have? You build it or buy it? I have a 12x24 "Cheap CNC" that I modified which I do most of my cutting on because I have an...
Thanks Trent, Right now I'm working on the clock. It is 3x3x6 inches. I think I'm going to put the Red Raiders logo on the top then finish it with Formby's....
Yea, I always thought you guys looked cool and tough. Added the Red Raider in the photo section. Will have a picture of the completed carving tomorrow. Marv...
