Hi all am painstakingly trying to produce my first piece of 5 axis cnc code using the great you tube tutorial for the sphere, what a blow out. The first...
Hi Clive, Try to use the YAGG program to catch the nc generated code. Launch yagg.exe and then "Post Process Toolpath" from cnc toolkit, with the "Script...

Hi Clive, In order to assist it would be helpful to know at what point in the process you are encountering problems... "what a blow out" just isn't informative...
... Hi Ok this is as i understand it, im using the video tutorial "CNC-Toolkit_5.avi" seems to me to be a well executed piece of instruction, and i follow...
Hi one more item im not clear on in the parallel splines menu the setting for radius is? cutter radius , cutter nose radius , or something else. Clive...
Hi, It seems that you are getting most of the way there, differences in the toolkit interface seem to be your main problem... Toolkit 3.xx is a little...
Thanks have moved further along now will set the radius value in parallel spline to zero This may have caused me trouble Had an error message re the spline...
Have got some code out but code seems to be just fixed in z axis it traces the parallel splines perhaps I need to select the object instead of the projected...
Hi There, good.. you are making progress.... I think you may have selected the parallel rather than the projected spline when you pressed make toolpath... or...
That's worked out well got good 3d path however it was all in one swallow is it possible to come down in regular passes Clive Sent from my BlackBerry®...
Sounds as though you have selected the (default) single pass cut. Increase the number of passes to reflect what you wish each cut to be (total depth=10mm,...

Move the spline you are trying to cut up in Z 10 mm, or set cut depth to -10mm. Sounds like you have it set to cut to "0". ... [Non-text portions of this...

New here first post. Awesome program, just starting to learn gmax and cnc toolkit. Wanted to check if anyone has used Meshlab http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/...
I use meshlab often. It is very robust and can export in a variety of formats. I highly recommend it. Also 3d exporter http://web.t-online.hu/karpo/ is great...
