Need Help! Coordinated Motion C#
I am attempting to create Coordinated code. Using the StraightFeed(double feedrate, double x, double y, double z, double a, double b, double c, int sequence_number, int ID) method, but it is failing to give any motion.is there information on how send the StraightFeed via the _Controller.WriteLine method, like the job cmd below ? _Controller.WriteLine(String.Format("Jog{0}={1}", _ID, _JogVelocity * _JogPercent * _CPU));Where can i find any information on what string commands to send and the responses.Thanks,

RDWorks exporting .rd with wrong dimensions?
I have a Redsail x700 that I am attempting to use with RDWorks. I drew an array of 1/4" squares spaced 1/8" apart. I save to UDisk, load into the laser, and it cuts 7/16 squares spaced at 7/32. The scale is perfectly larger. I can't seem to find any settings on either the laser or RDWorks that indicates what could be causing this. What should I do to troubleshoot this?

Need Help! Want to force post to generate R instead of I,J
I'm having trouble with BOBCAD generating a G2 or G3 inputting I0 and J0 in code lines. I have a Haas VF2 Using BC V24. The program is small engraving with intricate moves. I'm guessing I can make a change in the post, but don't know what line. I have given 1st few lines of code if that would help to understand my problem. The problem line has been separated out. This is just a sample section, there are hundreds more lines with I0, J0. Thanks for the help

New Machine Build Wood Lathe build
Hello everyone,
I plan to build a lathe for wood. I must say that I am almost totally new to CNC arena and the whole engineering in fact. I am a Political Science graduate, that's why; but I believe I can realize my plan with some help.
Though I have not finished it I want to show you the unfinished draw for the machine. I wonder what you think about the rails being vertical instead of horizontal; because when I observe existing lathes almost all of them make the two rails through which the saddle for the lathe tool and the tailstock move. So, I wonder if you think this is a good or bad idea. The reason why they might be vertical is that it would throw the dust away instead of making a pile on the machine. What do you think?
The whole lenght of it is 210 cm, the rails are 180 cm, the width is 60 cm and the height is 130 cm.
Attached is its unfinished drawing.

Problem Emcotronic T1 Control (Need Help )
Hello everyone.
Is there anyone who could help me with Emcotronic t1 cnc control.
I have solved this RS-232 problem and machine works now, but i like to ask help with tool measurements.
I have set parameters that machine should be able to take measurements with scratching trial workpiece with known dimensions.
I would like to know prosedure how to take care of this measuring??

Fagor 8025T Gang Type CNC Lathe,Spindle VFD Retrofit.
We just got a CNC Lathe Gang Type with Fagor 8025T control.
The machine requires 440v 3 phase. My plan was to set it up on one phase power 220v, adding a VFD.
I opened this thread because I searched a lot of info on here and the other forums. I did not found much what I needed.
I will post all the information about my progress to make this CNC Lathe work. Its a fine piece of machinery.
The lathe is functional with control powering up and there are many programs from previous owner.
I can home, jog the x and z axis also after setting up the VFD, I can start the spindle with M3,M4 command from the controller.
We made a coolant tank with a 115v motor pump from KBC Tools connected in the cabinet and I can use M8 and M9 and its working.
Also I made a small program to run for x axis. It will run back and forth with no issues.

Now I can post the problems I have so far.
1-I can not get the tachometer on screen to read the spindle RPM. When I input S500 M3 the spindle starts but always at the maximum speed (which is set for 3500 RPM).I checked
the spindle encoder, analog 0-10v connected on VFD...looks ok.(I know I am missing something).
2-I have a following error on z axis (about 0.025" to 0.0057") which make the z axis inoperable. I can home, jog but when I run a program with z , the controller just sit in there looking for the position.I don't want to touch the z servo pots for gain yet. Could be from the parameters or something else????.
3-this will be a little ahead of the game but will be nice to fix the treading (encoder on the spindle),also to make work M19 and Indexing if possible.
I am a CAD/CAM educated with millwright skills, but here looks like I am stuck, so a little help will be welcome from you guys....I will really appreciated it.

Divide work offset in half?
I've been searching for days now and can't seem to find it. How do I divide work offset by 2 to find the center? I can find all kinds of posts saying that pathpilot can do it, but they are all why can't XYZ software divide by 2 like pathpilot does. walking over to my toolbox for a calculator seems dumb for such a trivial thing that it should be able to do and to top it off I just ruined a part by typing it in wrong. Thanks

1720 questions
I recently picked up a 1720 xmtc machine manufactured in 1991. It came with the set of threading gears and some tooling.
Do these machines have power feed? My lever does not appear where it does in the owners manual.
I plan on using the machine manually some before i invest in the cnc conversion, auto feed and threading manually would make things nice for the time being.
Also I have researched but without sucess. Does anyone of a thread showing how to service/pack bearings on the spindle?

Need Help! GMT Standard or premium 6" vise?
I just bought a 1100 and curious what vise would be best or even if it matter at all. Budget is in mind and more so looking at if the extra $200 is worth the premium price tag. There is also the question of using having 2 4" vises instead of one 6". Parts I'll be making is mostly job shop for now but will eventually come out with my own stuff.

Meldas 330M E10 error
I've found out that "prosiz" parameter in "option 2" must to be set properly.
according to my options list it must to be = 3, it means 64k or 32K, but I get no E10 "memory over" alarm if set it = 0 only. Got formatting passed with "format complete" message. BUT I see 6k of memory area only.
On CPU PCB MC111 I see 4 256k x 8 chips.
Any suggestions?

Surface speed for cast aluminum?
The surface speed charts that I am reviewing seem to differ on surface speed recommendations for cast aluminum plate. I know not all cast aluminum is the same, but Im looking for a good middle of the road suggestion. Ive seen one recommend as low as 80 SFM which seems far too low. Others are closer to 300.

Problem Rotary around Z fusion360
Anyone used the rotary around the Z axis with fusion 360 and pathpilot? I'm trying to make a part that is a hair more than the Y axis travel but for the life of me can't get it to rotate the part. Not sure if it is a Fusion problem or a problem with the post as the simulator rotates the tool not the part on 4th axis moves. One problem I have is if I set the post option to around Z it outputs the rotary as C axis and path pilot doesn't know what to do with that. Best I have come up with so far is to make 2 different setups and then manually add the A axis 180 deg move. I started looking at other posts for different machines but they only A axis options on the ones I opened and gave me same results. When changing the tool orientation doing the same cut it starts 180 from the first one that is kinda pointing me to a post issue I think???
