Re: Post processor from Fusion 360
Sorry for the ghosting on this. It was a combination of me getting delayed, and the forum being spotty with reply notifications. My experience on phpBB forums is that notifications can sometime be wonky. I said earlier that there are no "official" thermwood posts. In fact they do have a 5 ...

Re: Post processor from Fusion 360
There is no official F360 post processor. The 2 that I found done by users are pretty close but could be better.

Post processor from Fusion 360
I'm messing around with Fusion 360 and particularly the post processor. I found a couple that were made by individuals but I'm wondering if there is an "official" post processor? One hurdle is that I cannot add a G91 in front of certain paths. I can do it manually, but since I'm not experi...

Cycloid drive maintenance
I reads the manual on replacing the grease, but want to clarify things before opening things up. It says to put a grease fitting into the fill port, then open the drain port. Inject grease into the fill port, then stop when the grease comes out of the drain port. Plug it then run the motor (it says ...

Autolube settings
2019 Model 67 My autolube seems like it never worked quite right. My 1999 machine would have obvious oil residue on the rails and lead screw. Specifically, the Y rails and lead screw seem dry to me. I can adjust the "drip" and the feed pressure to the point that I see the mist coming off t...

Re: Problem with rotary helix programming with hand held
Ok, I finally got some time on the machine to test some things further. When I went through the sequence again, and the helix axis disappeared, I learned that even though it disappears the programming sequence does in fact work. I think what threw me is that the axis number disappeared and the blink...

Re: Ice Qube not working
Yippee! It was just the fuse. Don't know why I didn't check that first - it was clearly labeled. Thanks for you help

Programmable router speed test during cutting
I'd like to hone in on some router speeds for different programs. If the router is in "program" mode you can't adjust with the speed pot. If the router is in "manual" then the router speed is not displayed. Any way to get that speed number? The workaround I'm using now is just to...

Re: Output an image to popup with AFL
So how would that work? What I want is for the image to be attached to the specific program. So when the operator hits the start button the image pops up on the screen, and then he will have to hit the start again to continue on with the program. Just sort of a double check on things.

Output an image to popup with AFL
With the latest control software... Using the "Window On" and "Window Off" and the "Print" command with the AFL (advanced function language), how would one have an image "print" in the popup window? Or, is there another way to do this? When starting a program,...
