hey guys just seeing if anyone has the bit file for a 5i25-7i77-7i84 mesa
cards
I am about to retrofit a 5ton slant bed cnc lathe with that and need a bit
file to use
also I have never actually flashed a mesa card with a bit file so would
appreciate a quick run down of the process or any
Orient the part to zero using translation routines.

well, I got a lot of good information from this list, also where I was
"rebuilding" the mill and lathe.
(Phill Carter helped my out A LOT)
There are a bunch of utilities out on the web, that let's you drill
holes in patterns, make pockets in certain sizes/shapes etc.
Wonder if there is

Yes I already turned them down.
Currently running max velocity at 8m/min and 750mm/sec2 I think.
Which is way slower than it used to run.

This is potentially very easy with G72. You just need to create the
outer profile with G1, G2, G3 commands and the canned cycle does the
rest.

If learning is the goal. I think the route is to first hand-code the
g-code files. Then if you want to learn how to connect CAD models to
g-code you have no option but to get a CAD system that has native CAM for
lathes.Fusion360, Solidworks, and Inventor are options but OnShape and
FreeCAD
Hi Chris,
well, basically I just want to learn how to use them, by making some
things I actually have a use for. For now on the lathe, I am trying to
make a little shaft for a project.
Why use CNC? well, because I want to learnhow to use, do lathe work,
using CNC.
Well, I do/did build

I have recently been using rest machining to speed up some parts.
One part I was working on, the first article came off at just over 5 hours
run time. It had a lot of corers with 0.03" radius, so very small cutters
were needed.
Moving to larger cutters in the beginning for bulk material removal,
What are you doing with the Lathe that you need CNC? The answer to this
will determine what software you need.
As soon as you get into operations that are synchronized to the spindle
rotation, like threading you are in need of specialized lathe-specif CAM
software.On the other hand, if you

Are you confusing Inventor with Solidworks? Inventor is Autodesk's
flagship CAD system and does use HSMworks for CAM. Then later the older
version of HSM is moved over to Fusion 360.
Inventor is Autodesk's competitor to DS Solidworks.
They both seem to have two CAD products high and

Fusion CAM claims to, but I am frequently unconvinced by the results.

I believe Solidworks either purchased or partnered with CamWorks to create
Solidworks CAM.

The problem with all the lower end CAM's is that they don't support Rest
machining, which makes them fairly useless if you're machining steel.
DeskProto didn't either as far as I remember. Now it does, but don't know
how good it is.

HSMWorks started out as an add-on to Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor. Autodesk
purchased the company and integrated it into their Fusion 360, while at the
same time continued to sell it as a Solidworks add-on.
Solidworks CAM is their (Dassault Group) own product.

Both Fusion and Solidworks CAM seems to be basically HSMWorks.

I think the bottom line with FreeCAD is that is working fine if you need to
make one part and 3D print it. But it is not quite ready for complex
machine design or making parts with subtractive machine tools (lathes and
mills) But it covers maybe 90% of hobbyist use cases. This email list

Hi again,
Indeed it is pretty hard to use spindle load if is doesn't change thru
the corner. I suspect it does on smaller machines but that is not a
generalized solution.
Just for experimental purposes it might be interesting to decrease the
velocity thru a corner see if it helps. Lacking the
