General Mach Discussion / Mach3 settings with WJ200 hitachi drive parameters

« on: September 28, 2016, 05:14:00 PM »

Hi
My Hitachi X200 vfd just went up in smoke, been working great for years, was using Mach3 to control the VFD thru modbus. Just changed out the Hitachi drive to the new WJ200 series. Now I can not get the setup to work. Does anyone have the settings to use in Mach3 for WJ200? Plus I also need the brain file, and the parameters for setting up the WJ200 Hitachi drive

LazyCam (Beta) / Cutting holes in AL sheet metal

« on: January 01, 2014, 08:17:32 PM »

New at this, I'm cutting 2" holes in AL sheet metal, but the holes come out instead 2.125". The tool bit has a diameter of .125", my guess is that lazycam is using the center of the bit for the cutting path. Is there some type of setup in lazycam to use the outside of the bit in the cutting path?

General Mach Discussion / problem s in machining 2" hole

« on: January 01, 2014, 12:29:13 PM »

I'm cutting out 2" holes in AL sheet metal, the problem is the holes come out 2.125". I'm using a .125 bit, so I think the program is using the center of the bit for the cutting path. I'm very new at this, so any help would be nice. I was wondering if the is some type of setup in mach3 or lazycam that I missed, as I really don't want to change the hole size in the program to 1.875" to cut a 2" hole.
