Hi, I am finishing up rewriting a G-Code generating program for a particular part to utilize a rotary table and the A-axis of TC v3.X instead of using circular...
The tool offset in T-CNC has never been about tool-radius compensation. It was (version 3.X), and is (version 4) about tool LENGTH offset. There is no cutter...
Hi, I was trying V4 with a simple program and I wanted to get rid of a few chips on the part before letting it continue. So I pressed the esc key to stop...
Neil: Cutter radius compensation has not been implemented in V4.00. The way that offsets work in V4.00 is to shift the display coordinates. Display Position =...
Hi, Neil: If by "tool offset" you mean the radius compensation (G40,41, 42), TurboCNC does not yet implement these G-Codes. They're scheduled for Rel-4.1. It...
... Here is what I did. I sat the start and acceleration to a low value and then cranked up the max speed to the point that I started missing steps. I would...

Paulo: I can't say for sure that it will. We stopped testing TurboCNC in real mode back in February. It is something you need to be aware of. We did find a...
Tony Ok. You say a thing that I am curious about, real mode, turbocnc can run in protect mode? Paulo Paulo: I can't say for sure that it will. We stopped...
I have a 5mm pitch ballscrew on my z-axis, and I do not write my G-Code in metric units. This results in a 0.000123031" per step resolution with my 8X ...
HotFix 08/31 Posted: 04/09/01 Details: The rotary axis problems of display position not being updated properly in jog mode, and improper motion in all modes...
I thought it should work with the 12" monitor as well. But for some reason anything below 800x600 will not fill the screen. I have tried to adjust the ...
Dan: Version 4.00 maintains 3 sets of coordinates: - psQuant, the actual digitized position in mahine coordinates - psReal, the ideal position in mahine...
