Sheeit, call me "jb".... I don't know how to manually contour either!!!!!

I'll send you the material.

On The way.

Silly me....

I forgot I'm the only asshole around here without cadcam.... :) More incentive to get some, I spose.

You need to have a loop so your cutter comes off the part loops around before cutting the next side for edge crispness. lol

I think there's a 15 year old version of millwrite still laying around where I work. Theyv'e since upgraded but the old versions are still laying around. Then there's old versions of autocad laying around, version 12 or 13 I think. All paid for but obsolete. So you go into autocad...draw your contour, save it as a dxf file. then you go into millwrite and import the dxf file as a custom font. Then simply place your new font letter A (your contour) where you want it. Add a G41 etc.. to the beginning and offset the width of your cutter at the machine with cutter comp..

You want free cadcam...say the word man, we'll build a system.

some/skimmed

M96 leaves burrs and takes more cut time with its being more variable tool engagement.

M97 uses a rounded path, no burrs--shorter path and constant engagement take your pick........

Eventually, you might ( given a cad cam system several years ago you might have figured it out already ) understand how this might effect two different scenario where you want to use cutter comp where one cutter has a bottom radi and the other one doesnt.

Wanna spend another coupla years being viewed as a dum fa king here then go head and continue with your obstinate insitance on spreadshhets and what not

could you repost this in English?

From Wiki: Grok is a word invented by science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein, first used in the 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land.

To grok (pronounced /'gr?k/) is to share the same reality or line of thinking with another physical or conceptual entity. In Heinlein's view of quantum theory, grokking is the intermingling of intelligence that necessarily affects both the observer and the observed.

In Stranger, a character defines "grok" as:

" Grok means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed-to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science-and it means as little to us (because of our Earthly assumptions) as color means to a blind man. "

The Oxford English Dictionary defines grok as "to understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with" and "to empathize or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment." Other forms of the word include "groks" (present third person singular), "grokked" (past participle) and "grokking" (present participle).

In an ideological context, a grokked concept becomes part of the person who contributes to its evolution by improving the doctrine, perpetuating the myth, espousing the belief, adding detail to the social plan, refining the idea or proofing the theory.

Note closely the Oxford English Dict. ref. :)

Note also the participles. :) :)

Idnat some s*it, to *invent* a word, and it winds up in Oxford?

Ahh, this is the SVL we know and love. You threw me for a loop with your civil and kind reply in the retention knob thread. I thought mebbe your handle had been hijacked or sumpn.

Well, the inneresting thing in the above missive was that you can just as easily calc out the corner walk-around, as you can the discrete linear tool path.

oh ok, I never spent time focused on fiction on any denomination, science fiction included. I especially don't speak jb fiction.

What else would you expect from a lying, slimeball like Kriss Hogg?
