We use PCD cutters for cutting stone they chip very quickly and you can't sharpen them yourselves they have to be sent away for re-lapping. Sometimes I have used a ground and polished lathe tool (parting off tool) held in a wooden handle to scrape the edges of Acrylic then after a quick wipe down wi...

In Aspire on your 1st computer go into File, Application Date folder, Post P, 05-wrapped,Mach, select all 4 PP files or any 1 copy, go into same folders on 2nd computer and paste, you then should be able to use selection from save toolpath.

Hi, The PP you need is one of the Mach2/3-wrapX2A ATC(inch)(*txt) or you might need to look for the one wrapY2A depending on how your 4th axis is oriented to, to find them when you have made a toolpath and you want to save it to use there is a drop down box. toolpaths.JPG Make sure if your running W...

“It´s unwise to pay too much, or to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money, but that is all. When you pay too little, you might lose a whole lot more, the respect that you crave, the understanding of the person you deal with. If you have to deal with a lowest bidder, it´s well...

Gary thanks for your help sorry for the delay getting back to this, turns out the problem was not with Mach3 as the rotary had been cutting great using CNC Wrapper but I reinstalled Mach3 same problem persisted A axis very very slow and could not get a working Y wrapped to A axis out of V10 even tri...

Thanks Gary,

Just tried this and I am getting very slow movement but it is moving now so thinking might have to increase the feed rates when I am on the rotary will try this next.

Is there a special PP for rotary in Aspire, this is my first time trying it with V 10.018, and is not working as I expected, Job setup is correct, preview is correct, save toolpath as G-code ATC mm or Mach2-3 ATC mm results in both tap files showing X,Y,Z, In the past I have always used cnc wrapper ...

Have a look here.

Many thanks go's to Scott for the images he let me have of the pond and the critters that live there a lot of which I never see here in th...

Hi Phil, As below: DOC.JPG DOC_1.JPG These are small 1.65mm thick by 10mm high cut out of alluminum I found if I do a raster cut at 22.5 degrees all 3 axis are working at the same time and I don't have any problems, I use the same cutter to cut the profile out as well. Just resize the stl to what yo...

Just a thought are you using a draft as I have seen this happen when I used it.

Phill

This is something I use quite a lot as my wife is Blind and always has a lot of projects and needs/uses for them, I have cut into hardwood, alluminum and brass plate with no problems, I made some brass light switch plates, and chess boards with braille on for her and her friends, I have a computer k...
