WOODKNACK 06-25-2003, 10:29 AM Thats funny. My machine is cutting 1 inch square. Jennifer 06-25-2003, 10:31 AM Are you using a 1/2" tool? WOODKNACK 06-25-2003, 10:33 AM Now Im wondering about my machine setup?? I am using 1/2-20 threaded rod and am microstepping at 1/8. My stepper are 400 or .09 deg. maybe I dont have that setup right? WOODKNACK 06-25-2003, 10:35 AM actually I have a 1/16 end mill bit in it! Jennifer 06-25-2003, 10:37 AM If I were to cut that with a 1/2" tool, in the direction you're going I'd need a G42 in the beginning, otherwise I'd get a 1" square. WOODKNACK 06-25-2003, 10:38 AM Ya i can see that if you are using a 1/2 tool but I am only using a 1/6 or .0625 end mill but. something is not setup right. Jennifer 06-25-2003, 10:51 AM I'm at a loss...I've had that sort of thing happen, but it was simply due to offsets being entered wrong. WOODKNACK 06-25-2003, 11:05 AM I figured it out!!! I had my axes setup with the wrong numer. it was set up for a 200 stepper motor not a 400. was set for 0.00003125 changed it to 0.00001562 I am NOW getting a 2 inch square! Jennifer 06-25-2003, 11:09 AM Glad to hear it! :D CAMmando 06-25-2003, 12:31 PM I am not getting a 2 inch square! Hope you mean NOW :D WOODKNACK 06-25-2003, 12:39 PM :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :wee: :wee: :banana: |
