hi guys
this is my first post and i have only had my taig cnc mill for a few months so i am very new to this type of machining, I am running Supercam on it at the moment through a mircoproto stepper drive unit but Supercam is a bit limiting so I was wondering if any one has tried Tahlcam on theirs or what are you guys using to run yours any help would be appreciated and here are a few pics of what we have done so far

thanx john huxham

John,
I am not very familiar with Supercam. I believe Supercam is a program that uses G-code programs to control the axis movement on your cnc machine using step and direction signals.

Supercam would be compared to programs like Turbocnc, Master5 and Mach1.

Tahlcam is a CAM program that will generate the G-code that those programs use. Tahlcam works inside Autocad and is a great tool for converting your drawing to G-code.

Bill.

Hi cncer's

What version of Autocad does Tahlcam work with

Thanks Ray

TahlCAM works in AutoCAD2000 and soon in 2004.

Reading the TahlCAM site, I get the impression that tool paths can be generated from a solid drawn in ACAD. Is that true?

Also, can a tool path be generated from a 3D Mesh in ACAD2000?

Thanks.
