Bandit Level III post processor needed for BobCad v28
I'm confused, there's an an-s near me for 1k USD. I thought nowadys you could retrofit anything. Am I wrong? I wasn't considering it cause of no toolchanger but now understand fadal made one for this machine although I am not sure what tool-thrower means. If you guys could tell me . . . . can an... -

Procurement of new customers
Hey there! Before the 80s you could put money made from scamming into a bank and get it back as if there was no shady activity. Nowadays you have to be part of a legal front and then you pretend you can be in business but you really are adding Tide to your activities. That way, your biz doesn't...- psient

Revisiting swishing noise in 2J vari-speed head
I posted an issue a couple of years ago regarding an intermittent 'swishing noise' while in the low range of my Bridgeport 2j vari-speed mill (c early 80s). The noise occurs across all speeds. As no clear solution was forthcoming I abandoned my quest. I have lived with this issue without...- psient

Adam: And to think when you're walking the sidewalks, fishing the lake, getting groceries nobody has any idea that your alter ego is Machinist Extraordinaire! Your post about answering questions on YT was very kind and considerate. Jon- psient

BOBCAD and my experience so far
Jason at Heidenhain tech support sent me a document/bulletin ostensibly provided with shipped replacement reader heads. Well I didn't receive it when my order was fulfilled. Upon inspection it details the consequences of mismount/nonalignment with close-up views and corresponding text. If I had... -

BOBCAD and my experience so far
I think I know what you are saying. However, my understanding is those pronged red clips are not just transit clips. The instructions and my tech support guy indicated that the clips keep the distance correct between the reader head and the internals of the scale. That is, since the reader head... -

BOBCAD and my experience so far
Thanks, I just had to use a slot saw with my mill. I was in a quandary about feeds and speeds so ended up on PM looking at what others did. It wasn't hard to find a solution. Slew coolant onto my DRO reader head and I had to replace it. :eek:Really sucked. Both the cost and the shitty... -

Hi All: I can't make Westec. I had to buy a USB 3.0 card for my 64bit CADCAM WS build in order to get functionality from the ASUS motherboard I purchased. Brand new out of the box with a voltage stepping issue. No way of buying ASUS' C2 revision. So I cannot use the on-board USB 3.0... -

BOBCAD and my experience so far
Sounds like I did the right thing by ignoring the disparaging comments. However, I haven't been able to start my new build. It looks like I should go ahead and install my copy on one of my older computers and then deactivate it and install on the new one. psient -

Mastercam X8
I scanned this thread and did not see a reference to college. I took a machining class 2 years ago along with a mastercam class. I used the latest version and received instruction using a Haas VMC with post processor for a solid semester. It was cheap, I met lots of folks at all different levels... -

Al spoke with me yesterday and for now I'm staying with V24. I still want the solidworks module. I need to pass that along to him. I wonder how much it'll cost me on top of the transfer. I've hit a snag with my 64bit CADCAM station. If you want I'll post what the components are. Here's a... -

BOBCAD and my experience so far
Thanks for the reply Al. Yes I definitely accede the above points. The only constructive criticism I have is that nobody asked me what I was doing this for. It would display unusual finesse if everyone in the culture was interested in the diversity of the people that choose to spend money with... -

As I am typing this . . . I am in the middle of transferring the license. I found out that I cannot have the software installed on my laptop and my computer in my office. I remember before we had chips in the computer that could ID us, many software companies would let you have a copy on 2...
