struggling for room so might have to get rid of the CNC Bridgeport

Just send it over here when you get a moment.

Send the packing case and I will get it on its way

I hear that Tyvek material is pretty strong, do you think Fed Ex would have a problem with a "mill-in-a-bag?

Threading is working flawlessly here. Actuall threaded 900 pieces today and yesterday, 48 TPI. My best run yet.

We need video!

Great looking Beaver pics, Hood, looks like a wiring nightmare to someone like me -

Be sure to let us know if you get some video of her showing off her Beaver skills -

What a great looking toy, that, no doubt will be fun.

Looks like something out of the Jetsons.

Art,
I get a green line across the top of the profile in addition to the one that follows the profile.
Just ignore for now?

Rich Art mentioned that some posts ago:

Hi:

 I think I have this one caught. See if this works better..

( The green line in the end toolpath is unused, its just a diagnotic for me to see how far off the part is the tip
safety zone..

Just reinstalled Mach 3 and all is well -

Rich, the reason I didn't include a file was because as I mentioned in my post, it was happening to all files, not just newly generated. Somehow must have done something to the program although I've made no changes to it since the last updat of LTurn. That's why I was confused as to why this didn't work today just after I updated LTurn this afternoon.

Art, thank you, I was running (happily until now) 3.041 but I'm downloading the latest lockdown now.

Thanks again to all of you-

Hi Hank,

Thanks for checking. I'm guessing if it's not happening to you, it's on my end here.

I'll have to look into it some more and thanks for looking -

Art  and all,

I have a new issue with posting to Mach 3 Turn now so please check it on your end.

It seems all my past Gcode files and new files that I've made today have an error when trying to run them in Mach3 Turn.

Below are a series of screen shots with the first one with the error on line 1 dialog box.

After I click the ok button the second box comes up (erroronline2budman2).

After that is closed, the macro window opens (erroronline2budman3).

After closing that, I just click "Run" again and it runs normally.

Now I'm not a Gcode guy but when I delete the "S3000" in the code (shown in pic named "erroronline2budman4"), then I don't get any issues. Has something changed in LTurn to cause this? It seems more of a Mach 3 Turn issue but I haven't changed any settings in Mach 3 Turn at all.

Please have a look for me, ok?

Thanks,
Dave

I've yet to really see anything like a Shuttle Pro that can put up with chips and coolant.

Here's a website where a fella puts his shuttle pro into another pendant housing so maybe it can help you figure out a way to make a coolant/chip proof housing.

If you come up with anything, I'm sure some of us would like to hear it.
