Hi Adz, I'm sorry I'm being a bit slow; I'm returning to my wood carvings having been away from it for so long. Using 2 roughing tools is something I'd never even considered but it makes good sense. How to call up another tool I'm not sure how to do unless we modify the code manually?? I'm using Mac...

Cheers Martin, I'm using Mach4 so I can change the feed rate on the fly, but I don't thing I can change the plunge rate. Unless anyone knows different with Mach4.

Thanks for the reply, Randal. Thats good info.
I could halt at the tool change and use the editor to change the plunge rate in my code and the carry on as normal yes / no ?

I could use some help with my latest piece which is still running after 3 hours. It's an oval shaped bowl 600 x 250 with horses mapped to the surface of the bowl. Total depth of cut is 20mm 2 tools are being used, 6mm roughing 2 flute 2mm stepover and 150inches/minute plunge rate 5 inches/minute fin...

Whatever happened to 'Map object to shape? I'm sure I've used that command in the past. Basically, I've created an oval vector, then created a shape from it and gave it depth and angle. All is well, I got a nice dish. Now I import my model (stl) and I want it to map to the contours of the dish. I've...

Thanks guys, I did it.

Hi Martin, stranger, good to hear from you.

Can anyone spot where I have gone wrong.

The area encircled in red has not been cut. I dont want that lump sticking up there.
My model is 2mm below the surface I'm using a 6mm 2 fluted roughing tool and I'm selectin Model boundary.
Help please.

Cheers Spyder

Thanks for the reply, I should have selected Mach3 ATC Arcs MM. that works for me.

Cheers

George.

I use Aspire 10.515 My installed post processor won't allow me to save all toolpaths to one file because the PP does not allow for Tool changing. I'm selecting Mach 2/3 Arc MM TXT I'm running Mach4 on my router. After all these years where have I gone wrong. I'm forgotten something somewhere. Or I'm...

Thanks, I did. But the world is full of knowledge. It has no boundaries.

I wonder if anyone can help. I'm using a Chinese spindle motor on my Router it's rated at 8amps 400Hz 220V 2pole 24,000RPM, I'm using the Mitsubishi FR-D720 inverter and I seem to have screwed up the parameter settings. I need settings 1 to 10 and any others that may be important. Thanks in advance ...

Many thanks Steve & Adrian
