  1. I do a bit of woodworking. I build guitars. Here is a photo album of two I built at San Diego City College on their Fadals. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumList?u=4035064
  2. Don't feel bad. My nickname in school was "Crash" The best one I did was writing a program by hand and forgetting to turn the spindle on. I pushed a 3/8 drill right through a 1" block of aluminum. It was after that incident I figured out that a good slide hold technique beat the prayer method every time.
  3. Wow thanks for the tips guys. Exactly what I was looking for.
  4. I am sure this has been covered before, but here goes again! I am looking to put a new system together. Whats the ultimate system for Mcam? I am curious what direction to go in regards to the processor and video card. Thanks in advance!
  5. WTP that looks great thanks! Crazy Ron, I think I'll try that out and see if I can pull it off. Sounds like fun. Thats a way I never thought of Thanks!
  6. Winnie, The bottom of the pocket finish is not a concern. I am just trying to get a pocket on a radiused surface that has a radiused bottom. I thought I would try it as projecting a pocket onto a surface instead of projecting a toolpath onto a cylinder. The depth is fine, I think what I will do is a contour toolpath on the geometry to get the perimiter of the pocket and the use finish project to rough it out. Thanks so much for the help and responce! -Ian-
  7. Still doing it. When I loaded it up it flashed a quick message about fixing it. I had to regen. Here are the "not square" corners. http://www.lilypix.com/photos/data/e4da3b7.../931_p28545.jpg
  8. Hi Winnie, Sorry I am on the west coast. I posted that around 5am lol! Headed to check it now thanks!!!
  9. Hello everyone, I am having a heck of a time projecting a pocket onto a simple radiused surface. I am unable to get square corners and also unable to get my depth of cut set properly. I have tried everything I can think of and can not seem to get the depth right. I uploaeded the file. it is called : PROJECTPKT.MC9 I also included the STL file for verification. Itis called : PROJECTPKTSTL Thanks in advance!
  10. Thanks Jimmy. I used a combination of loft and coons
  11. Thanks! Check out the guitar I made at San Diego City College. I won 2nd place Mcams wildest part last year with this project. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumList?u=4035064
  12. Jimmy I'd love to see the geometry used to create those surfaces. Any chance of getting a peek?
  13. Been working 3 jobs to afford to live in San Diego with no hope for ever owning a home here. Seriously thinking about re-locating.
