Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Mill Wizard rectangular pocket size
« on: August 15, 2013, 03:53:56 PM »
I have just been cutting some pockets with the  mill wizard, they were 14.4mm x 22mm. i was initially using a 6mm 4 flute  end mill but the ramp down was making them look like a capital D. I was rushing so just changed to a 3mm 4 flute end mill. This rectified the shape but the pockets were undersize by about 1.5 mm. In order to get a pocket of the correct size I had to enter a tool of 1.5mm diameter into the wizard while actually using a 3mm, it was almost as though the wizard was calculating based on the radius rather than diameter. 
Anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

Just notice I got the terminology wrong. I am refering to the Machine Max Settings in  the config menu. It asks for Max Spindle Speed, Max Feed Rate and Max Plunge Rate.

Spindle speed I have, Just need to know if the Max Feed Rate and Max Plunge Rate are in Feet per Inch and if they refer to feedrate or rapids

Newfangled Mill Wizard / Machine limits and Z Ramp
« on: July 15, 2013, 02:35:07 PM »
I am just starting to use the Mill Wizard on my converted Emco PC Mill 50 and have a couple of questions.

The original manual for the machine states, "Max Feed Force up to 500 mm per minute and Operating Feed/Rapid Feed up to 750 mm per minute". So firstly is the machine limit max, based on the max feed force or Operating Feed/Rapid Feed? Secondly is this entered as mm per minute or Feet per Minute?

In Cutting strategies, what is the difference between Z Step and ramp in Z ?
