General Mach Discussion / Re: bolt circle pattern problem

You may want to try the G16 method for bolt circles it will be as accurate as your machine is.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

General Mach Discussion / Re: Feeds and Speeds Milling Aluminium

« on: April 04, 2015, 05:22:45 PM »

You either need to speed UP the feedrate . The reason the bit is loading up is you are melting the aluminum and it sticks to the bit. Also you may want to consider a 2 flute or 1 flute bit.

There should be many feedrate calculators on the WEB (;-)

As long as you do NOT shut Mach3 down you can load and run as Many programs as you wish without resetting The Coord base (Machine Zero 0,0).

Same with Work Zero Unless you shut down Mach3 OR change it it remains the same.

There is an option in Mach3 to do that. It does a back and forth motion to be able to tuned a servo.

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: 5 axis kinematics coming soon !!!

OK are you running the sequence in Gcode or are you jogging ? I did not see anything that could not be done from Gcode programmed from a 3d CAM.

NOW if you can world point jog you may have kinematics if you cannot world point jog you do not have kinematics.

Just a thought, (;-) TP
