Hi, I'm pretty new to TurboCNC also but I'm pretty comfortable with code. My first project attempt was a file handle shape that would be very similar idea to...
Hi there, I have a small mill that has been converted to CNC using TurboCNC to run it. Recently I have made a few parts that haven't turned out very well....
Hi, Warren: It could be the software, then again, it might not be. Just for funsies - try setting your X and Y backlash settings in TurboCNC both to zero and...
Hi there, Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I didn't even know TCNC had backlash compensation, so it has always been set to zero on all axes. Any other ...
You need to set the backlash to match your machine. That could be part of why you are having problems. If the software is not aware of the backlash, your...
May I suggest another point. If the signal generation is not ajusted correctly (from HI to LOW, or vice-versa - depends on your driver), you probably loose one...
If your cutting circles try not to use the R parameter with G03,G04. I'm just guessing this is what your doing. This is a problem common to computers in...
Hi Dave, I know you mentioned already about dropping the ALT+KEY on the jog screen, but before I forget I thought I'd request the following: ALT+E Could you...
Got my buddies TCNC bridgeport back online yesterday, and am looking to write some generic code for it. Does anyone have any "conversational" type code for...
Yep, that's a great bit of code. I want the GCode to do the asking though. Here's some code I use on the lathe, it prompts, then cuts. I have other programs...
How about a Polygon Toolpath program ... there are a couple things to note, Z depth is fixed, and the program has a manual stop before each depth change ...
