I Was Very Impressed With Demo,having Run Powermill,visualmill Etc I Was A Credic,is 4 Axis In Works? Also It Would Be Great To Have Arc Fitting In G17 X And Y It Helps In High Speed Machining,with Old Machines.i Would Love To See Rest Machine Like One Cnc ,great Interfase But Not Nice Price

patrick71100,

Joakim is programming something in relation to 4th axis now. I don't know what all is going to be covered in it. The other items you would need to email him directly.
Mike

Thanks Termite,
I Juess We Dont Need Arc Fitting With Modern Control I Ran Demo Program
At 300ipm With Madcam(i Use Mach3,g-rex,rutex On My Kneemill)it Held About 250ipm Average With Some Accel And Decell Continous Contouring 1st Rough 3 Axis It Puts Out Some Nice Paths

Patrick do me a favor. When testing Madcam compare it to other cams you may have used in the past and see if the files are smaller? Mine seem to be.

Mike

Termite,
In The Future I Will I Think You Are Right The Madcam Programs I Noticed Watching Graphics They Seem To Have Minimal Rapids {stay In Stock More-especially With Roughing Using Rectangle Option}i Also Noticed Paths Are Usually Output To 3 Decimal Points Powermill And Visualmill Seemed To Be
4 Decimal Points My Mach3 Didnt Like Visualmill Programs It Would Output
2 Lines Of Identical Information And Mach Would Flash Errors And I Would Have To Manually Edit[ie N005x2y3 N006x2y3]and That Was A Lot Of Work ,what Control Are You Running?
Thanks Patrick

I run Mach2 but am about to move to Mach3. I have just a few more tests to run and then to actually run a part test.

I wasn't talking about the decimal position but the actual # on lines output. I have several gcode files made in Mastercam, tons made in Bobcad 17 and a few now in Madcam. I have actually duplicated some of the programs in Mastercam using Madcam and it seems the same part on a 4 index 4th axis program is considerably shorter in the # on lines than the Mastercam programs. I was just curious if you had noticed that? You comment about more time in the part seems to indicate that as well.

Mike
