  1. Mike, a good percentage of my milling tools are "custom", if you look at the help files you are instructed to only have arcs or lines, and have it as undefined, you also need to define the dia correctly for it to visually verify. I use these tools for rough profiling screw compressors, and have found no problems with the profile/shape they produce ( i rough the profile to around .5/.6mm from finished), and have found no problem with the shape produced. I verify and save the STL file and use this to compare against a designed shape
  2. as crazy millman says, if the geometry is not 100% then verify does not work properly, i have the same problem with just one of my tools, and can find no reason for it, every other custom tool is perfect

  4. James, i think ? you are talking about transforming your entities using a plane other than top, if so click the plane button at the bottom of the screen, pick your plane for rotation/transform and work from there
  5. Go to system config and tab to start/exit, your choice of editor is selected at the bottom of the pafe
  6. Grind a flat rake on the cutting edge of the drill (standard practice when drilling any plastic) this will give excellent surface finish and hold tolerances very well
  7. Mick, yup our maintenace dept have one, and found to be invaluble, on all our horizontals (glf`s and mitsui mills) also used on our WFL millturn.
