budman68,
I don't see any problems with anything (That I Load), Course I don't have your .dxf or .dwg file to try here. I see some improvement in how it loads into Mach Lathe,Much sharper image,and is better more formed then before. Lines are much clearer in the profile. If you want me to try it here, I would be more then Glad to. Thanks,    Hank S.

Hey Guy's,
Quiet in here! Got a question about the 3 fig's I attached. Just what causes the path to not get cut in the profile. Pullout,Stock Clear. Or the Depth of Cut. Been tring Many Profiles,and different config's and have come to a conclusion that all are the same as when posted with THIS, Tool, I Have Made For My Own Use, That clears all my Machine Clearence problems, One of which I am in the process of Extending  the carriage,and Handwheel, to acomadate the profile of the part I want to make. This size is what I want,and I have to make changes in the lathe to do this. What a PAIN, but then,It Look's good, and is worth the upgrade that I am doing. Art said " watch your profiles as there could be problems", and thus so. Not enough X clearence.  Just thought I would Share this info for anyone else that is going to find problem's in doing a One Off Profile. Thanks For Looking.    Thanks,   Hank S.

Hi Guy's,
Got a question,and don't know where to post it,but it contains a time simulator,that Mach Mill uses, to get an idea on how long the job is to run, for LT and Mach Lathe. I think it would be a good idea,but then again, I just was using Mach Lathe to do a sample cut,and waited,and waited, and then shut down the operation cause I had to do some other things. Did'nt think it would be that long. I try to time things in between other things, to get done,and it's a somewhat pain to plan ahead. Just thought i would mention it,if it was'nt too much a hastle to put ,either in Mach Lathe ,or LT, since it ends up in Mach lathe to do the part anyway. Anybody's Thoughts....  Thanks for Listening.     Thanks,    Hank S.       LT; This Is Great Stuff!

Art,
Having said that, We,You, US, still have to change the tool, to reposition on the back cut,in most operations. However the likely cutter,Insert,I would consider,is a triangle,not only can it cut left,right,center,also face, champher, countersink. It sounds Easy,and by No Means, it is going to be a challange. You still have to move the tool. SEE Attached and which one can do all the above. Arrows are tri tools.  Thanks,  Hank S.

RC
I am hopeful that I made some progress on finding my errors,and have re D/L'd stdcad,and seems to have solved most issues,still an intersecting thing going on and off,but most work well. I'll let you look at the attached and see for yourself. LOOKS GOOD1 I'm not right now worried about the tool,or path. One set at a time.  .DXF is there too.  Thanks,   Hank S.

Hey All,
Thanks for your help AGAIN! I just had to sit awhile and think about how I got a Good File to load,and what is keeping me from repeting it to others. I Still don't know,one setting works Good,another Not So. as you can see from the posted crops-. Did the same, but modified acouple areas at a time, and posted to LT to see if i did any Good. I spent All morning ,and thought i had Niped it in the bud,but .... I'm gunna give up on this for awhile, and not abandon it completly, just want to find out WHY one is drwan Good and another like CRAP. Heres the .dxf and don't be in too much of a hurry, when you get old, your legs grow together,eyes can't see like they used to,and hair is, well; need I say More. Asprin is for Kids, Jack is Much Better. SALUTE!. Thanks Guy's  Hank S.

Hi All,
I wish I had better news to tell,but after reading the PDF on what and whatnot to do, I guess I will read until I memorize it by heart,but still have problems. I snapped all lines to a new dwg.and come up with different errors. The file RC gave me works fine,and I trie dto extend the end,BASE and worked like it should,so I created the mate.ROOK and came up with errors. snapped lines,and edited layers,and joined lines,and whatever else I could thimk of,but here are the ones in question,and am going to leave it alone for a while as my head is STARTING to Hurt. LT does have tight tollerences, just not able to get things right now. I'll Play after a While. Thanks,   Hank S.

Chip,
Thanks for the heads up,thoughs are all the intersecting lines that are drawn by arc cord,and each has been curved by me by means of using the mouse to create the arc. HUH..I'll see if I can find a better way of doing the dwg's,and mybe stop all the headaches I'm having,I'm still going to contact apperson about his program though,and thanks so much. Do you know of anything i can do to try to correct this as I don't know where to begin. Hey; Lets see if Art can make a dxf'er for LT and the rest of the Mach Series, Mach will only read, Mach's dxf'er. HA! COLD DAY in !!    Thanks,   Hank S.
