Rob,
Thanks, your second option seems to do the trick.
V30 .Have a part drawn and want to duplicate it in my second vise as a G55 location. Can someone explain what needs to be done in BC? And not have it pull the tools twice.

Is there a way in either the post processor or in the software to tell the machine where to park...
Brians worked great. I made one from his plans and installed it on my VKM4 years ago. Turned on and off automaticly as it was supposed to. I used about 5-7 PSI.
Really nice 3 axis VK4 also known as a VKM4. 30"x, 15"y 5.75 Z in CNC mode. 12 x 54 table. An additional 6" Z if using the quill handle. The table also moves up/ down 15" like a bridgeport. 7 HP 3...

Don't forget to add a spindle speed after the spindle direction.
Which of these machines can be powered by single phase? P6, VM15, VM16
Alright guy's, been doing quite a bit more machining with the VKM4. Getting the hang of it.
Question- Most of my machining is of Cast alum. Facing, pocketing and profiling. Like to take .25 deep...
ZZZZ,
I have SLS CNC 6.3147
Is there a easy way to get a newer version? That supports subroutines and more functions?
You are correct with that part, but that only works for the first row, I want the second row to be overlapping in the x and y direction by 1/2 a hole and also for anymore rows.
How do I make it.

Guy's,
Want to make a conversational program to do engine turning on alum panels to use in our project vehicle.
Tried doing a drill cycle, .750 tool, 40 wide and 1 row with .375 spacing. Second...
Just a update on me and my Milltronics. Use it all the time in both converstional and with programs made using Bobcad/cam.
I want to thank all of you for the help given me since I started this....
Why do you have a .250 hole for a 1/4-20 thread?

Sounds like you got a DEAL!
I also have a VK4 but with Cent 6
That is a tall machine to put in a garage. Are you sure it will fit?
I started using Bobcad. It works and I am still learning....
Thanks for that ZZZZZ.
Today, played with it a bit more. Made the program only 73K and it did the same thing. Changed the program again to only 14K and the program loads and runs. Changed again to...

It's great to hear of success stories like this.
What firmware did you have?
Which one does the control have now?
At the end of January, went to Milltronics and took their SLS Conversational control class. It was very good to help me learn to use my machine better. Took my 14 year old boy to it also.
When I got...
Thanks.
I hear ya on the manual tool changes. Trying to limit how many I do.
So on a 9/32 hole a 3/16 center drill sufficient?
Can you show me a example of a "center drill"? Do you mean like what is used on a lath to center the tailstock nose into?
