What is the maximum size when importing a dxf file?
How do I scale a dxf file to fit the billet and have about a 1/2" on each side?

Good Day, I have a customer who has called in to say that VAC is not being supplied to the machine. She has "opened up the box"(converter) and found a blue wire that is disconnected. Is there any way to get the schematics for this machine? Can you tell me what the blue wire is for? where it goes or ...

Attached is a pdf file showing how to set the Y offset for the Denford Co2 Car fixture.

More photos to finish up the conversion.

There is a Word Document at the end with some Hints and Tips for using the Denford Co2 Car Fixture.

Here are some photos that show how to convert the fixture.

How do I convert the Denford Co2 Car Fixture from F1 car blanks to Dragster Blanks?

Microrouter Oct. 2001 VR Milling v2 We are having problems with the X-axis on the Microrouter. When the machine is jogged the X-axis moves very smoothly, but when running a file the X-axis stutters and moves very roughly, like it is jammed or stalling. The machine has always worked smoothly, this is...

LatheCAM v1.11a At this time, I am using the Lathe CAM Design to generate the CNC code for the lathes. This seems to work OK. I do have to play with the file name extensions a bit. The Designer software creates an "LCD" file. Choosing the "generate G-code" option creates the "FNC" file and the VRTur...

The new computers only have USB ports.
Is it possible to install a PCI card with a serial port into the computer so that the computer can use the serial cable to connect to the machine?

Thanks

That is the board that we adjusted the Min. speed with. But we only found a single (blue) potentiometer on that board.

Should we check again for another pot?

We were able to locate and adjust the minimum pot so that 250 RPM on the PC corresponded to 250 RPM on the spindle. However, we could not locate the Max Speed pot. Which board is this located on? We think from your wording that it is on the Spindle Drive board, but we're not sure which board this is...

TRIAC PC 1992 VR MILLING V2.31 When trying to interpolate a G02 or G03 circle cut at very low feed rates, 5 inches per minute or lower, the machine looses the part datum.

We are running a 1992 vintage TRIAC PC 3-axis machine that, in general, we are quite happy with. Our students have been learning a great deal and the system has been quite reliable for many years. However, we recently measured the spindle speed with a non-contact tachometer and found the actual spee...

Here are some helpful ideas for using the Denford Co2 Car fixture. Offsets for the Denford Co2 Fixture X __________ Cutter is centered over the back (left) edge of the block.

Should the "split block" be loose on the pin shaft?
The "nose block" moves left/right in the V-block, is it suppose to?
The left side of the car is a bit higher than the right, how do I get it even?
Is there a way to check the offsets?
