Thanks tom sent you an email .

I want to drill a custom midplate and would like a dxf or mc9 file if anyone has one tried the search with no results thanks Guys . Dave.

Thanks very much I sent you an email.

I downloaded the pic but not sure how to convert it to a file i could use maybe you could help me thanks.

Is there away you can put it somewhere or modify to the size I need so i could use that . You have been very helpful thanks very much .

sure that is great I need it to fit 3.75" wide to the outside of the oval . did you make that or find that somewhere ? thanks very much.

Thanks not quite what im seeking Im only seeking the ford letters by themselves in a font form .

Is there anyplace I could download a version of this font the oval I can do but in the Ford name its kinda of in writing as im sure you know any help with a place to find fonts would be appreciated thanks .Mill 9 .I would just run a contour tool path with no cutter offset . Ive tried searching the forums before posting but cant find much info on where I can fonts .

mill man could you please elaborate a little more on what you did to define the tool and how you obtained the 60 deg angle for the cutter etc.. i can run in backplot but will not run in verify or if you could post a simple file in ftp it would be very much apprectiated with the steps you did etc... thanks very much .

I have never done this before so green at this. if i have a inside threading tool from my lathe lets say its .75" and i measure to the tip so it makes it lets say .9" for sake of discussion. what tool do i choose from list first of alltools. do i select a boring tool? what do i put in for degree angle etc.. or am i going about this all wrong? lets say i want to put a 3/4x16 thread on a solid bar and it will be an outside thread any hints would be very much appreciated thanks.lets say x and y are at centre and how do i get it to verify ?

thanks guys I did know about what you were saying so in essence without adding and extra tool path the feed cannont be changed on the final path . what i was trying to do was to see if feed on the same tool could be changed for finish pass lets say its eg tool #3 without adding a secondary finish pass i guess its not possible to change feed rate. I was wondering if there was somewhere in mcam to do this guess not thanks for your help guys.

I have found the problem i was having getting my tolerances closer to the finished size. I asked this question a cpl weeks ago and someone suggested slowing down feed on finish passes. Well i tried it and well its alot closer now when milling out a circle within a thou to thou and half im Happy with that tolerance. now my question is what is easiest way to make finish pass go slower without manually adjusting at the machine? lets say for example im milling a 2" circle in .5" aluminum. Im using a 3/8 endmill i do a few passes plunging down on subsequent passes leaving lets say around .06" for final finish pass at full depth keeping tool down. is there a way to change feed rate from lets say 25ipm to lets say 5ipm for final finish pass ? Thanks guys.

I will try cutting some circles this weekend and see if the slower feed rate helps. Im also gonna have a look at the jibs to see if a small adjustment would help. I know my machine is nothing like the machines most of you use but for the little stuff i do its ok but a little more accuracy would be nice.

This is a good post as i have a small 3 axis knee mill anilam and i notice when doing inside and outside circles they are usually off .005" to .010 with the outsides being closer to tolerance than the insides I use cutter comp computer . im not sure why my inside circles are slight off more than my outside circles though?Ps im new to this so bear with my ignorance pls i have tried new endmills and have had same problem and i know work is held steady i wonder if possibly the gibs may need adjusting though machine is in good shape but ive never adjusted the gibs . so if i use wear when programming my tool offsets do i put in a value for the X as opposed to the way my control works i just touch tool to top of part and enter z and x display position? in the past i have just changed values in xy stock to leave in mcam the alleviate this problem but that isnt teaching me anything. thanks guys.

Thanks for your courteous replies .
