General Mach Discussion / Is there an easy method?

« on: November 05, 2012, 12:13:59 PM »

I am trying to put a .5" radius on a piece of wood to make a jig for clamping an upcoming job to.  Basically, I will be receiving pre-pressed plies that have a concave that runs through out the whole piece, which is constant the whole length, and is a .5" radius.  My plan for the jig is to take this sub-flooring that has been pressed and glued, and round the edges off, making a .5" radial convex (leave the center high and take the edges down).  I own Aspire, but can't figure out an easy method to achieve this like in SolidWorks.  I wasn't sure if there was a wizard somewhere, that was capable of this from within Mach3

General Mach Discussion / Another newb, another issue...

Ok, I've looked through the videos and read through the manual (skimmed - but I'm pretty technical), got past the estop, then came the home the limit switches all showing activation. Now, no indicators tripped, try to goto home and I get a message saying that I need to "ref all". I do and values start changing in the axis window, meanwhile nothing happens. I have also noticed that when I try to jog(tab to access jog control) all I have is a mpg thing with a feed rate that can't be changed. I can't figure out how to change the jog mode from mpg. I'm using a brand new ez-router that was tested with the computer and software. So much for being able to load a file and hit start lol
