I just got my new Tormach 770 all set up about three weeks ago. The CAM software that came with this package has got me loosing hair
prematurely. It will be a while before I dare run parts using that confusing software.
Just to get a little practice in while waiting for my tooling package to arrive, I wanted to tryout this NewFangled Wizard thing.
I made my first small pile of metal shavings this morning but, that's all I was able to do. I wanted to shave .1" off of a small block of aluminum
just so I can say I've made some chips.
My machine was referenced, my part was referenced and all the information fields in the "Plane" wizard was filled in appropriately but, when I ran
the part my end mill was cutting fifty-percent part and fifty-percent air.
I tried running the part with all the same information in the numbers fields but, with the "Starting Points" changed. The tool path that were being
generated were still cutting just as much air as it was aluminum.
Can someone give me a clue as to what I may be doing wrong?
Incidentally, I did use the "Search" feature to try to find the answer I'm looking for. No sense bugging folks with the same old questions but, No Luck finding the answer. And also; I forgot to mention the I DID push the enter button when I entered my numbers.
Thanks for your help.
