Any Video Tutorials covering different Surfacing basics?

Such as providing clues?

 

There may have been puzzling "instructions" in the box that the
Etch-A-Sketch came in ...

 

They got you a smaller broom or a new mop & bucket

 

They don't want to pay an added $30,000 for a year's
worth of videos & games for you to whine about while you
waste time & make scrap?

 

No more free demo disks? LOL ...

 

Usually takes them about 60 days to catch on IIRC.

 

IOW Evasion ... as usual.

 

A set of values input by the CNC machine's operator. CAD/CAM & CAM
systems can say which ones to use (& turn them on & off) but not the values
of the data in their registers/offsets.

He has local CAD, CAD/CAM or CAM graphics user tools (such as work
coordinate or machine coordinate systems) confused with
CNC machine fixture offsets.

Confusion probably comes from two diferent uses by some or
multiple vendors of "work coordinate". He's utterly clueless,
as usual. Not an actual user of much & it always shows in the end.

 

Not in any way your fault and you had a valid
question/issue, within limits.
You seem to be an interested student & it seems that
your school may have taken the "canned videos are cheaper than
instructors that know" approach. Plus, there is always niche
knowledge & "Call the free demonstrator".

But I'd hate to listen to 2,000 hours of videos at 30 words
per minute when I can read much faster just for some basics ...
Does having an actual system to use have much to do with this?
With one you can test & see, videos may otherwise just be
"academic" for those without access to a degree. Perhaps
better than nothing in some cases but ... those cases probably
all assume that there *will* be a system later. Or can be
considered as introductions to basic concepts? That's good too,
IF you later use such. Else you wasted your time & money perhaps ..
though education is probably always good .... and jb badly needs some.

 

Your trolling your own statement Cliff, that's not what Jon wrote and
posted and you know it.

??
Feel free to explain what fixture offsets really are and
why you need user NAMED CAM-system-side coordinate

He has no clues. Think about it.
Did you miss a lot of his posts?

 

Jon never said what you attribute to him, you made it up and your now
trolling your own statement not something Jon actually wrote.

Already covered in alt.machines.cnc where it belongs.

Let me rephrase that *slightly* for more clarity:
"He has local CAD, CAD/CAM or CAM graphics user tools (such as local
CAD work coordinate or CAM-side machining coordinate systems)
confused with CNC machine tool fixture offsets."

HTH

 

What might that be?

I read about all of his priceless posts I think. Have you?

Tried telling him that?
But he still seems clueless.

Sig ...

 

Erika,

Don't feel bad. There is nothing any of us can do to stop cliff and jon from
replying to our threads. You asked a perfectly good question and got some
fine answers. Tough luck about the not-so-fine answers, but that's what
happens here on the bad days.
