Any pictures of your set up on the machine?

yes I remembered that other wise the backside pocketing would be off . It may be that when using the cam I clicked on the circle edge and not center I'm not sure you can see it in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLyOWczx1DQ
if not I'll take a pic when I do the other side or a trailer frame I'm going to set up . It's basically a fence that I can bolt the stock to .This trailer frame set might take a few days + igot to get more plate for the othe side

For drilling, I draw points to generate the code .

Looking good!! And everyone thinks that running a CNC mill or lathe is just push the go button and everything comes out OK Slowing down the feedrate is not that bad of a thing to do. Recommended feeds and speeds are not all what they are cracked up to be!!!

thanks Lynn , tell me about it I tried to tell my wife that now she gets it , I just never spent so much time at the puter then the machine I cut the recomended feed down by 30% seems to work well I just worked up the next op for those trailer frames with the other frame in it 12 hrs I'm thinking I need to find a water jet guy for the basic profiles

Steve , as I promised also this time I decided to use a bigger EM and crank the feed up also the spindle much better time







more tomorrow
