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,

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

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
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.

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
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.
