kCDW

[Damon Nabors]

I was curious if anyone has run any KCDW files on there machine since the introduction of KCDW. Is there anything out of the ordinary that you have to do or is it similar to loading an ecab file and running it?

Thanks for the info.

Damon,

In the kCDW software you assign a tool name to an operation. I'm alittle fuzzy on how to do that because I do not have access to kCDW. In control nesting however, in the tooling section, you have to assign the same tool name to the tool you intend to use for that operation. Once you load a kCDW file you would go into tooling and then you can get a list of the tool names in the job. You can then copy and paste these names into the tool name fields in each operation. The online manual on the Thermwood website explains this better than what I can. the link below will take you there. Look under the section "tooling" and then in "operation tool(s) setup". Hope this helps.

Thanks Daniel, I was just curious if any one has actually cut a program yet and how well it turned out. I have a shop that approached me about cutting parts for him. He is thinking about purchasing Kcdw and asked if I could cut the parts, I didn't think there would be a problem but I just wanted to do my homework before I commit.

Thanks for you help
