Im playing around with importing gcode from cut3d into the cnctoolkit and i get the add knot error on import with all versions higher then 3.18. I see in a...
Hi Ken, The GCode input does indeed need fixed. I'll probably re-write it to handle Cut3D's standard GCode post processor export. Which post processor from...
Well cut3d has a ton of post processors as I sure you aware of. I've been using mach3 mm but I wasn't sure if perhaps the error with knots was with that ij...
Hi Rab, Everyone, Import of Cut3D or CamBam Toolpaths into 3DSMAX/gmax using the toolkit is NOT difficult... just need to stick to some fairly simple...

Rainnea, The new import worked quite well thanks, no more add knot errors! And thanks to Siwel for the Mach3 ATC MM post processor and patience tip. :) Ok so...
Hey Rab, I remember you sending me an email about this a bit ago. I am sorry I didn't get a chance to respond for awhile and I seem to have lost your email...

We're trying to get some of it webcast or at the very least videoed. I'll put together a webpage on it when I get home. Here's some links to the venue; ...
Hello, I've been trying to apply what I've been reading in the User Guide to a couple of my own projects, concentrating mostly on the rotary axis section. My...
Hi Denver, Either method would work, or project a helix spline. How did you make the models? Often it's better to make the splines directly..... Rab...
Hi Rab, Thanks for the response. I used blender to make the models. When you say it's often better to make the splines directly, are you talking about...
... Hi there, The helix finishing splines in the toolkit guide were made using the following method. 1. A Single helix spline was created in gmax such that...
... Hi Danny, Yes, that makes sense, I'll try it. I'm still working through the tutorial, but I looked ahead a bit and found where the single turn spiral was...
I think I finally grasp the basic process to create a toolpath for an indexer: 1. create a single line above, or a single helix around, the model 2. project...
Does the CNCtoolkit actually support 6 axis. I see on some of the pictures that a 6th is made. But the description of the toolkit talks about 5 axis. The...
Hi, Looking at your diagram it seems that there is a redundant axis - the rotary axis where the spindle attatches. The CNC Toolkit could support as many axes...
Hi, I've just taken a look at your screenshot and you need far more vertices than that. Another, better method would be; Draw a spline of your profile with...
Thanks Rab, I am not sure if it is redundant, does not that depend on what you want to accomplish on the wood. As I mentioned, the wood may (actually never is)...
See the bottom right image on this page; http://www.rainnea.com/cnc-toolkit/support.html This arrangement of axes provides the ability to cut your surface as ...
