    Why do people dislike BobCad

    When I first started working where I am now, it was all they had. It's fine but very unstable when things get more complicated. And as far as using it for cad it's super buggy. Random stuff just stops working after awhile. I still use it for really simple stuff beacuse it is fairly quick for...

    1018 replacement for fittings?

    I can get them to work and it is cnc. the issue is just it's pretty whiney about stuff and I'll come back sometimes to them starting to get ugly. Machine is running pretty much by just by itself all day and I'm trying to minimize baby sitting

    1018 replacement for fittings?

    G199 r value not consistent

    I'm trying to grab on some wrench flats I was cutting and i can't get more than a few parts with out it drifting so far to a different spot it kills the part trying to push over the corners. No idea what's going on and I've played with it for too long

    Best way to watch for the bar running out?
