Can any one tell me the best way to "program" left and right handed lathe tool bits? What i need to do is turn with the right hand tool, then to switch to a...
steve, you could do the move and then reset the global coordinates to the position before the offset move you just made with the G92 command: something like...
Thanks Doug, talk about a fast reply.......... ... _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile...
hey guys, I agree. I check dougs site every so often to see if there are any updated patches for cncpro and find very little. Looks like the spark is out. I...
Also storage in the lower sections with locking drawers. This unit would probably not adapt as well to casters because of the narrowing cross section at the...
Was super busy and couldn't post to the group but the "This will show 30 to 40 different" post seemed to have a virus attached. Since there haven't been any...
I bought a converted Bridgeport several months ago with the modified Gecko drives and running CNC Pro. It currently has the two original cabinets. One has a...
Has anyone used one of the breakout boards that is offered by campbell designs http://www.campbelldesigns.com/breakout_board.htm It looks like a really nice...
Sounds like the guy split the power supply up and stuck the filter caps in with the stepper amps. I think the Geckos are fairly bullet-proof as far as noise...
Help !!! I tend to have large g code files (a few megs typical) and am looking for a DOS based editor which won't choke on this size file. Getting tired of ...
The large coil for the power supply is VERY large. Around 12" in diameter so the box will be quite a bit larger than yours. As for server/steppers I'm not...
... You want the best MS-DOS ever, Jeff? Assuming you're running Win98, take the emergency boot floppy and boot your target PC with it. Then format /u /s on...
Hi Randy Close, but not perfect. A quick test in a DOS window shows that it will only edit the first 64K lines. A disk wipe and new DOS version seems a little...
I've been testing a DOS editor, Setedit. It's free and seems to do large files, not sure what the max is but I've tested with a 4 meg file and it seemed to...
It is a first class board, worth far more than its price. I have two of them. Bill Campbell's service to his customers is also beyond belief. You can't go...
Hi Jeff, I bought Qedit for DOS years ago. A very tiny program with lots of features. I am still using it for CNC. John ... looking for a ... of ... must be a ...
Hi Al Downloaded, installed, and configured to replace edit.com. Seems to do the trick, have to see if any wierdnesses arise. Thanks Jeff ... Jeff Demand ...
Hi Jeff, Hope the editor works out for you. I'm currently using Vector Cam for generating my G code but find I need something better for 3D work and I see on...
Hi Al, I'm quite satisfied with StlWork2. It does what it is supposed to do and doesn't often 'surprise' me. The handling of the edges of the working envelope...
Hi Jeff, I found the documentation for VectorCam not quite what I would like to see either although it was enough to let me stumble through most of it. I did ...
I just moved my Gecko based CNC Sherline mill from the spare room out into the shop, and now nothing works right. At first I hooked it up to a brand new...
Raymond, Are they steppers or servos? If servos, check your encoder connector. No encoder feedback will make it take off. If steppers, check your step /...
Thanks Mariss, I'm using your G201's, and all the lines are no more crossed than they have ever been when they worked. In fact, on the new control, I thought ...
Raymond, I re-read your original post. Seeing as how your drives are steppers, the "go like a bat out of hell" says your problem may be with the PC. Something...
Morning all! Is there some way in the program of cncpro where the A axis(4th or rotary table) recognizes that 360 degrees is 0 degrees or in other words...
Hello Mark, there is a solution for your problem, at the end of your program you can use G92 . Use it like this : g01x10y15z0a360 g92a0 (this will set a to...
