Thanks. I am in Los Angeles

speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for acrylic, wood and aluminum.

also, does anyone know where to get acrylic blanks for machining. I am also looking for that machinist foam stuff. I don't know what they are called

it's part of this

Here is a photo of something that I had bobcad make a code for. It has lines cut into it that aren't supposed to be there. I'm using a flat end mill. Should I use more or less stepover distance. The bit is 3/16.

I'm cutting styrene foam-then maybe wood or aluminum

How would I add spindle spped to this code for vr mill for a micromill ns 2000? I made the code in bobcad % G00X0.Y0.Z1.5 X-0.0152Y-0.0043 G01Z0.0625F20. X4.8682F40. Y0.0557 X-0.0152 Y0.1157 X4.8682 Y0.1757 X4.073 X4.0721 X4.0497Z0.0803 X4.0446Z0.0831 X4.0389Z0.0854 X3.9871Z0.1014 X3.9571Z0.1096 X3....

i was wondering who makes the controler for Denford micromill 2000NS so I know what type of post processor to use in bobcam when creating G code. does it use some sort of FANUC?

SO, GENERALLY, I SHOULD MANUALLY JOG THE MACHINE TO PART ZERO AND DEFINE THAT LOCATION AS THE OFFSET WITH EACH NEW MILLING JOB THAT IS GOING TO BE DONE. I.E. WITH EACH NEW BILLET THAT IS GOING TO BE PLACED ON THE MACHINE.

THANKS.

i MADE THIS CNC CODE IN MILL CAM. WHEN I RUN IT IN VRMILL 2 WITH A MICROMILL 200NS, IT GETS TO THE LINE WHERE IT SAYS Z.08 (ABOUT 12 LINES DOWN) THERE IS AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS IT MOOVE EXCEEDS LIMITS. WHAT IS WRONG? G20 [BILLET X2.5 Y2.5 Z.125 [EDGEMOVE X0 Y0 [TOOLDEF T1 D.1875 [TOOLDEF T2 D.12...

it works!!!!! thanks.

so, i uninstalled, then reinstalled vrmill 2. it dosen't say that machine can't be found or isn't turned on. it now says emergency stop is on. also, if i try to press any axis in the window, it says driver not installed. is this getting better?

Easy upgrader says: firmware 5216

serial number - it shows a lot of U
connection ok on COM$ Nextmove ST-RS232 only

The cable that I'm using is the Lindly cable(came with machine) that has 25 pins connected to the machine, and 9 pins connected to the computer through a Dynex brand USB PDA/SERIAL ADAPTER http://reviews.bestbuy.com/3545/7135664/dynex-16-usb-pda-serial-adapter-cable-reviews/reviews.htm Yes. the comp...

what's a node? is that found in the device manager?

I TRIED EASY UPGRADER. IT SAYS MY MACHINE IS CURRENT, BUT VR MILL 2 STILL CAN'T FIND IT. SHOULD I JUST INSTALL ONE OF THESE?

MY COMPUTER IS A HEWLETT PACKARD XP FROM 2006

I have it set for a micromill 2000NS. That is what is on the side of the box. In the "communication" section it is set at COM port 3 and control type 0. Is there more settings?

Yes, I'm using a a USB to RS232 converter. It shows up in the device manager under ports ( not Usb) it's adress is COM 4. I don't see a way to change it to a lower adress number. Is there a way to hook the machine up using Mach 3 ? also, when I plug the machine in, it auto matically is turned on. th...
