Is there any facility in your software to calcualte feed and speeds for tools?
I find this feature
very helpful.
I have four different commercial cam softwares and one is not very good and one
is much
more expensive but somewhat limiting in areas where I feel I should have
complete control.
I ran your test code and sure enough when G64 is modal the way you program it
will cut the
corner. A couple of things to keep in mind when programming g code.
Always retract some distance above the material before doing a lateral move. I
usually use
.25 above the material as a safe Z height.
Oops, didn't pay attention to what you said. The power button still won't
work; you must shutdown from within the os - either by clicking the shutdown
icon or menu item on the screen, or with 'shutdown -h now' on the command
line.

Hi John,
Regarding calculating feed and speeds for tools, we do not have this feature at
the moment, but it is planned.
Good question about the video’s, I will add that facility.
Do you own an EMC2 controlled machine?

Cutting Al is absolutely a can of worms.
Okay, I got the idea the original question was about some hard work
material.
But, if it is Al, then there are a bunch of things you can do. Taking
light cuts
with high feedrates has always been very helpful. You want to keep from

Yeah, I know about those! But, those numbers were for mild tool steel.
For aluminum,
the strategy is a bit different.

(capability wise)As you can see it start as low as $495.
I have an old version of Bobcad/CAM, Ver. 16.1 I am not a fan, but it

Yeah, I got bitten by going the 'bob' route too. Never again!
What I like are what http://www.vectric.com/ have to offer and their prices
are good compared to the ease of use and number of features they have.
They have a trial software download to test run it first which is nice.
