Title: Anyone have a small 2.5D file I can run?
Post by: Fastest1 on October 20, 2013, 12:23:59 PM

I have always wanted to cut something with the Z in constant movement. Most if not all of my limited experience has been 2D? where the Z plunges a ramps to specific depth, pockets or profiles and then repeats til the depth of cut is satisfied. This is cool enough however I would like to see all axis moving simultaneously just for the thrill, eventually I will learn how to do it myself.

I run a G0704 and have a few 1/8"-3/8" end mills, spot drills, chamfering tools etc. Not trying to make anything large just enjoy the movement.

Thanks for any and all help.

What your asking for is 3D..... 2.5D is

Sam, Thanks.

   I have been confused on 2, 2.5 & 3D differences since I started this hobby.

  Sam, I love the FDR quote! My grandfather (a very successful business owner) always use to tell me "the early bird gets the worm" (mostly because I had a hard time waking up at 5-6 as a kid). I would reply back "the early worm gets eaten by the bird", he would get so mad!

  Funny now.
