Re: Machining Pocket Screws
Forrest, maybe stupid question but do I need to include the quotation marks on the name "pocketscrew"?

Re: Machining Pocket Screws
Forrest, Thanks for the reply. We outline with a 3/8 tool so I set up a second 3/8 tool to do the pocketscrew. I have it checked for rout/dado, drill, interpolate, and pocket. I think I did as told by going to Operation List in CN and there is the option to name a tool operation and I entered "...

Machining Pocket Screws
All, Tried our first pocket screw joinery on a small test cabinet. It did not make the pockets. It drilled the 1/8" hole for the step and it drilled, retracted to above the surface and then angled out to what should have been a pocket but it was in space above the sheet. It never made the actua...

Re: Version 6.0 Build 11
Am getting "data execution prevention" which stops download and shuts down computer. I successfully loaded this once and after "verifying" license, it killed my whole computer and went to safe mode. Suggestions?

Re: Offset at end of tenon
brad,
we use a 3/8 compression tool to outline. The dado is done by either the same tool or a 1/4" straight tool or a 3/16 straight cutter, depending on the "width" of the tenon. The material is 3/4 plywood with actual thickness of 0.726" on average.

Re: Offset at end of tenon
Before you all respond it is in my tool diameters, I measured them and they are correct to within 0.003 or so.

Offset at end of tenon
We machine for others and one of my customers is having an issue that I don't see on our stuff. Any idea why he is seeing this? I think it might be related to the fit and depth clearance he specifies. We set ours at 0.015 and his is 0.040. We have tried to get him to reduce this because we think it ...

Re: Hinge Hole
JNR,
Thanks! I thought it was some pocket setting. So do you think we made it too small or too big? I think we need to go bigger. Agree?

Hinge Hole
Today's quiz: Any idea what setting we have changed to make our hinge hole come out like this instead of an empty pocket?

Re: Problem during tool length opp
Before you estopped, did you take speed dial to 0? head will traverse but not go down if speed variable is on 0. Just wondering if you are like me and sometimes can't see the forest in the middle of the trees.

Best method for us is to download the update to the computer and then make absolutely certain that you run as administrator.

Re: Flip op miscutting
Problem resolved. Issue was ours, not Thermwood! Ever feel like choking your help??? Here is what I sent to Joe at Thermwood outlining the solution. One big lesson is to re-verify the G52 locations if you ever get a C marker error and have to reset the axis. I am convinced that is the start of this ...

Re: Flip op miscutting
Daniel, Flip Ops are the absolute worst and we avoid them like the plague. Any program we write has no flip ops. Unfortunately we didn't write this one but machine has done it before just a week ago. Wil, I checked G52L this morning and all are dead on within 0.004. Outline tool is correct and diame...

Re: Flip op miscutting
Wil, thanks a ton. New day, new perspective. My plan is to verify my fixture offset by locating a sheet and then going to G52L1 and see if I am correct. Then I am going to (I think) find that X axis is out by 1/2 of 1/8" probably from the C marker reset we had to do. Correct my offset in contro...
