Hi,
Yeah sorry about over sized picture in my first post. It was just a screenshot so didn't think it would be so big. I'll see if I can edit it.
Nonsense, the file was only 150k or so, that's fine.
It appears to me that you have two new pieces of software on the go.....do yourself a favour and drop one of them UNTIL
you have the other one sorted out.
Fusion is good but like ALL CAM programs they take a lot of learning. In this case for instance Fusion is producing code
which is not ideal for Mach and yet here you are on the Mach forum trying to sort it out. Ditch Fusion until you have
Mach4 sorted and doing its thing. THEN look at CAM options.
I would recommend NFS Mill Wizard ($75). It is a very simple way to generate conforming Gcode and allows you to do
a very wide range of tasks on your mill. How many times have you thought 'all I need to do is surface that piece
of material'. A very simple job. You don't need a full-blown CAM program to do it, a simple Wizard like MillWizard
can do it for you in minutes.
Download a copy and experiment with it, if you are not putting together files of three, four or more operations chained
together within half an hour......give up CNC and take up knitting!
I think I need to watch a few tutorials before I get to far ahead.
Hey, tutorials are good, but standing at your machine generating simple but conforming Gcode with a Wizard and then
having that Gcode cut material as you intended is
VASTLY MORE VALUABLE THAN ANY TUTORIAL.Craig
