Thank you guys for the help, I do appreciate it. Those suggestion work fine if you're using the same font as he's using in that video, but if you want to use another custom font like 'Korataki' that...

Thanks for trying to help. I don't know who designed solidCAM, but you'd THINK they would KNOW that many people out here will want to use the software to do a lot of lettering work on different...

Stick fonts don't work, either. If I were to draw that font out with nothing but a stick line down the center of each part of the letter, there is no way to cut-extrude and solidCAM won't let me mill...

I've tried everything I can think of to get SolidCAM to do what I want it to, and that is go right down the centerline of these letters (the font is Korataki) with a ball endmill and basically...

Sorry for not getting back to this thread yesterday - I was too busy busting taps ... LOL ... Not really - But I do believe I figured this mess out, and I was correct (as some of you were as well),...

Thanks for all the suggestions, I am taking notes :cheers:

Can you guys check out this video of my tap busting jamboree and see if you agree with the description I left below the video? I've ran...

I think I figured out how to renumber the lines using the G-Wizard editor :)

I really want to thank all of you for you input here, it is very much appreciated. I'm going to try a few things recommended in this thread and keep practicing with this TCTH and see what happens. I...

Is the post processor in the SolidCAM software or the Mach 3 software? Like I said, I'm fairly new to the CNC world, so I still have a LOT to learn :)

I have read a ton of threads all over the...

Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate everyone chiming in here and trying to help. Looks like this Tormach and the Mach 3 just don't like the G84 tapping cycle .... LOL

As some have...

I'm new to CNC machining; got myself a Tormach II PCNC 1100 and Solidworks and SolidCAM to work with. When I generate G-Code in SolidCAM for a G84 Tapping Cycle, there is no dwell time in the code as...

Thanks for the input Jess. I've been checking out the Tormach pretty hard over the last day or so and it looks like a real nice machine.

10K is what I'm looking to stay close to on the initial...

I will check out the Tormachs tomorrow; thanks for your suggestion :)

Hello all, I'm new here; been lurking a few days reading as much as possible without making my head explode from all the info on this site :)

I'm looking to buy my first table top CNC machine, but...
