Hi Ijhammo
.
No problems, hopefully it helped.
.
I haven't yet used the 4th axis functions, mainly due to my 4th axis being a rotary table and tail stock, which I have yet to attach a stepper motor to, but I still intend to do this when I can get the time.
.
I've not looked at MeshCAM, but will do, as apart from maybe SolidCAM/iMachining there seem to be quirks and limitations to many CAM packages. It probably worth me adding a few more of these from Deskproto:
Ramping can be missed if there is not room on the 1st operation to fit the slope in (broken a few single flute tips due to this).
Having to calculate every tool path again when you load a file up rather than the software actually saving it internally is a bit of a faff (time consuming) especially when doing small DoC, step-over, high-res for say finishing passes.
Tool does not return to x/y zero - just raises to safe height.
On 3D finishing passes (especially using ball nose for some reason) there seems to be a lot of unnecessary plunges on outside curves etc. - that maybe something I have done in the parameters however.
.
Cheers
.
