  1. Oh hey Ajmer, Havent heard from u in a while.....Its a 9 pin with a 9 pin/usb converter. It used to work, but now its not working and ive tried many different things. Im not sure if its settings on the computer or if its the usb converter cable itself....Im getting a 9pin pci card tomorrow, so i can just hook it up directly. ill see how that goes...
  2. Still having this issue. I was wondering wut other programs r there to post to the xxxxor. Windnc seems very old and there is no support for it...I would like to use something more up to date.
  3. Yah....Its just not connecting to the xxxxor properly...I got a brand new cable serial cable. I have a converter cable to USB, which ive had for a while and it was working b4. The light is still lit on the USB converter, so I dont know what seems to be the problem...
  4. Hey, Im running mastercam X2 MR2 and everything seems to be working fine with that. I Use WinDnc 5.1 to post my stuff to the xxxxor. It was working fine, but then now when i open Windnc, it says "detecting CNC device", then it gets past that...It freezes at "Scanning Remote Directory (Programs)". After about 10 seconds, a windows pops up saying "transmission Error"...I've tried replacing the cable and restarting both the PC and the xxxxOR, but nothing it working....Please help asap. I need to cut out a couple of sinks:P

  8. Im doing some engraving, but trying to figure out how to slow the feed speed, when the tol is going down into the piece. I know theres a way, but i cant figure out how. I seem to have forgotten how to do it...Thanks in advance
  9. Actually....I fixed the problem, but now i just want to know how to slow the tool when it go down everytime. Im doing it manually right now, but its annoying...I know theres a way, but not sure. Thanks...
  10. Im trying to engrave, but wherever the bit come down and goes up, there is a bigger engrave right at that spot. It doesnt look right. Its like the bit goes deeper at those sections and its on all fo them. I was just wondering what the plunge rate is and if thats what i need to adjust...Please help, thanks
  11. I jus got this program from the emastercam.com downloads. I was jus wondering how to define the surface feed and the flutes. I just want to know if i got it right. Thanks....Also, if there is another software that does this, that would be great to know as well...I apreciate it
  12. Anybody that uses a xxxxor...I jus did a fresh install on a new computer and i have a posting program called WinDNC. I dont know how to set it up...Anybody with the same program or a better one, Please let me know....Thanks
  13. Bah, i didnt get much from that link. Im not very good with GCode, so i cant figure it out. Im gettin better, but not good enough to understand stuff like that...So if anybody could do it for me and send me the file back, then that would be awsome too....Any help is appreciated, so thanks john...
  14. Its jus a bunch of straight lines...Rectangular shape. NO splines....Jus regular lines
  15. Im cuttin 1 1/4" thick manmade material called Aosta. Its very hard and doesnt chip easy. I cut it fine, but the finished product is lumpy. If u run your hands along the side after the polish, it feels bumpy a little. Also, if u look at it in the light, theres light scratches going along the toolpath, but u cant feel them.
  16. Well, im sure is the same thing as smoothing the sides....I do that first B4 i polish it anyways. I need a good base B4 i polish..

  18. Im usin mastercam X2. When i post multiple toolpaths (4 for example), it used to post all in one program, but jus recently for some reason when post, its post the first 3, then it posts the last one in a different file....I dont know why? PLease help...thanx
  19. I jus got a 7 piece set of GDI polishing tools for 1.25" thick material. When i use these tools, the finish is not as smooth as it should be.
