Yesterday I was trying to use the somple thread wizard and it wouldnt even bring the tool into the part. I assumed I was putting a wrong value or something in, but now Im thinking there may be something else going on?
Anyway, one of the products I have been making over the last year on my manual althe and mill is some handlebar risers for motorcycles. They are the biggest reason I decided on getting this shoptask with cnc option.
Anyway, I went into a different wizard, for arc cutting on the face. I put in all my values but now its threading
Looking through the code it generated, it I and K values but no J.
right hand corner of the part is x1 z0. end of the part is x1 z-1
Arc is supposed to start/end at x0 z-.5 and x.8125 z0
Anyway, are the wizards working for anyone?
Can anyone tell me what this code is supposed to be doing?
