Re: tool offset
i looked around and could not find the wizards for circular pockets etc. cam bam is a little non intuitive so it takes a few minutes remembering the tool chain process. i would love to use the mach4

Re: tool offset
There are wizards in the Mach4 set that do circular pockets, rectangular pockets and 'dog bone' or link pockets. The wizards also save a job file, so you could create the job file with one size tool,

I have emailed you a zip that has the source and the exe. Depending on your email server it may not allow you to receive something with an exe in it. John

Re: tool offset
thaniks, i think cambam does similar things but is quite old and maybe i should try what you use. a zip file would be good.

Re: tool offset
Sorry but I have no idea regarding Mach wizards. It is tricky unless you are 90-degree arcs and I usually make mistakes when doing such manually.

Re: tool offset
I haven't done D slots yet but I do have circular arcs. Either IJ or Radius mode G-Code is generated. The code is written in Pascal via Lazarus IDE which means write once, compile anywhere. The

Re: tool offset
they are all in IJK format, will it be too much trouble? easier to start over? does there happen to be a converter from IJK to R, ha ha? probably should just look for a wizard and do it over again.

Re: tool offset
Are your arcs defined in R or IJK format? If they are in radius mode it should be as simple as changing the radius. With IJK it is a little more complicated. See

Re: tool offset
i am trying to be lazy at least for initial testing. my code is a mess developed over time. i also wrote it a long time ago using various tools and do not remember how they work but certainly can

Re: tool offset
Read the description for G41/G42 carefully since there are leadin/out requirements related to cutter diameter. If you were not previously using cutter compensation it is doubtful if your CAM follows

Re: Mach License Help
I reached out via the machsupport website. I purchased direct in 2010. I'm not big into just dumping on a companies name.

Re: Mach License Help
John, thanks for the reply. I work with technology daily, and sometimes just want a solution that works on my own machines... so I don't have to work with technology. That's what Mach3 provided me. I

Re: Mach License Help
Let me be very clear... the problem is *NOT IN ANY WAY PMDX!* The 411 is sitting in the bag, brand new, and I only mentioned the PMDX because I was planning on buying Mach 4 to use with the 411. I
Re: Mach License Help
I did some similar research. Not because I lost my license as it's normally in use on a CNC router, not a milling machine, but just for interest sake. I created a dual boot PC with WIN-XP and LinuxCNC

Re: Mach License Help
PMDX Support is really good! I've got both a PMDX-125 and a PMDX-126 and perfectly happy with them and their support. However I suspect the PMDX-411 doesn't work with LinuxCNC which is a real shame.

Re: Mach License Help
Steve, I am surprised you responded. I purchased Mach4 as soon as it was available and your controller since we had spoken at a show. It sort of ran but kept failing in the middle of a long program. I

It¡¯s hard to believe you got poor customer service from PMDX. I have used their products for many years and they have always been helpful and courteous. Sent: Saturday, May 8, 2021 8:32 PM To:
