Thanks all!

Hi All: I have the precision Matthews 728 converted to CNC with Acorn 4 with Clearpath Servo's. I have fitted the machine with a dual chain lift counter weight system. My question is, the weight of the counter weight. If the weight is equal to the head weight, can the inertia unbalance the servo loo...

Thanks for the response.

Z ref is the mill table. Then I have to keep the 2 offsets in sync.

Hi All: I have a Precision Matthews PM728 VT with acorn 4 system installed. All of my offsets are referenced to the mill table from a 123 block. I've installed a Saunders tooling plate 1" thick. I need to add some tools to my tooling library. Question is: Can I reference the added tools to the ...

I do have 11.5" of travel. The problem was ME setting the REF Z to the part height. I don't know where I got this idea. 1, My process was Set the REF Z to "0 home" 2, Measure all the tool offset. 3, Set part 0 X and Y. 4, Reset REF Z for part for part Z. I know, how stupid can you get...

Don't know how that happened. Fusion must have pulled that out of different library. The code posted does not show th whole block of code. It should read: (T1 D=0.125 CR=0. TAPER=118deg - ZMIN=-0.2 - center drill) (T10 D=2.75 CR=0. TAPER=45deg - ZMIN=-0.01 - face mill) N10 G90 G94 G17 N15 G20 N20 G2...

Any help appreciated!
