    I/O Board M Code Help

    older robodrill with modern toolpaths?

    Hi all, Looking at older early 2000's robodrills and other smallish vmc's. I have been running small production on a borrowed Haas TM1p with a 6k spindle and am looking to bring things in house for prototypes and small production runs up to about 1200 parts. Mostly aluminum, some chromoly and...

    SolidWorks Coordinate system issues

    Ive seen this issue when the graphics card is working overtime. Do you have anything else running? Half of all the issues I see with selecting edges or surfaces in Solidworks are due to me running youtube, email, 3 browsers, and 12 assembly files open.
