I am having trouble with tools being understood by control. I have anilam series-m M/L control mastercam runs it just fine, but I cannot get good programs from bobcad. I have other cnc's but this machine has faceplate and 4-jaw chuck as well as collet and 2-3-6 jaw chucks with it, I only use it for parts that are hard or to odd hold. I am tring to run a alum. casting with 8 x 11.75 rectangular grate on chuck end and threaded nipple with locating shoulder on other. The thread is 3.375 8-tpi od. There is approx. .100 per side stock and thread is 2.5 long with .125 neck before going out to 4.250 shoulder .125 wide rest left as cast. The ID is as cast 2.375, last time I made a bull nose center to hold threaded end and left 1 inch ramp on space on center.
tool 1 was 80 degree diamond
tool2 was 55 degree diamond
tool 3 was profile / groove .062 wide insert
tool 4 60 degree top lock threading
tools on backside mounted right side up {except threading it runs upside down in holder}
