CamBam help (General usage) / I need help with this file.

« on: September 02, 2025, 03:04:25 am »

Trying to drill 98 holes in  a delrin block for some dremel tools. Here is the first few lines of code I'm getting :

( Made using CamBam - http://www.cambam.co.uk )
( Dremel Tool Block 9/1/2025 10:14:06 PM )
( Post processor: Default )
( T0 : 0.125 )
G20 G90 G64 G40
G0 Z0.1
( T0 : 0.125 )
T0 M6
( Drill1 )
G17
M3 S10000
G0 X0.375 Y0.375
G98
G83 X0.375 Y0.375 Z-0.6 Q0.1 R0.1 F5.0
G83 X0.75 Z-0.6
G83 X1.125 Z-0.6
G83 X1.5 Z-0.6
G83 X1.875 Z-0.6
G83 X2.25 Z-0.6

I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I know I'm missing something.

CamBam help (General usage) / Changing pocket dimensions

« on: June 21, 2023, 14:05:12 pm »

I created a pocket1 a circle. The pocket was a little too small. So I increased the diameter by .100" .  It will not generate a new tool path.

I've changed other parameters and got a new tool path.

So do I need to create new mop and enter all parameters manually?

I tried copy & paste, that didn't work either.

So just changing primitive ID's is not allowed either?

CamBam help (General usage) / nc drill file won't run

« on: December 01, 2021, 22:02:31 pm »

This file is to spot drill 4 positions but stops at line 11. I changed  G83 To G81 and removed to Q, and still won't run. I even hand coded in Note pad using G81,  and neither file  run on CAMotics.

I've created lots of drill file and never had a problem like this.

 A previous drill  file with 8 holes works fine.

CamBam help (General usage) / Cutting out parts

« on: November 24, 2021, 17:03:28 pm »

When  I create a profile to cut out a part, the cutter changes sides. Does the same when I create an inside profile. How do you make it stay on track.

Hello all,

I wish to thank Steve and David for trying to help me get signed up on this forum. I started this topic because I'm still unable to post a reply to any topic on the form anywhere, but as you can see I can start a new topic We'll see where it goes from here thanks again.
