Thanks for the updates... I installed the new version. The simulation worked perfect, I had my V-carve tool set as tool # 10. Looks like this solved the problem.

Thanks Guys

I have 12.7mm Dia X 60 degree Vcarve cutter, I am using Ver. 2.1.0.121 of QuickCam2D Vcarve and ver. 5.61.0.670 of VRMilling. When I try to run a simulation in VR Milling or the 2D/3D Simulation, the tool does not show and I receive errors such as catastrophic error or exceeds limits. When I run the...

I want to purchase a couple of new collets for my Compact 1000Pro, What is the correct collet size? Is it a ER 32?

I am getting ready to install VRMilling on a network the uses Windows 7. What is the file path in Windows 7 that is the equivalent to the Windows XP filepath C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Denford. I want to make the allsets.mof file so that all users can read and write to it. ...

There was no resistance when we checked the orange and black wires. The orange wire goes into the motor and the black goes to the break. So I am pretty sure ithe problem is with the orange or the motor. I have attached a pic.

There is no resistance on the black to orange. I am guessing that means one of these wires is broke.

When I had the brake removed and tried to jog it ... the Z made some erratic moves….so at least it moved.

I assume this means that it is not the brake and that it is faulty wiring or a bad motor. Is that correct?

The brake is now removed. We are going to test the Z axis to se if it works without the brake.

Then he is going to use a ohm meter to check for an open curcuit.

If we narrow it down to the motor what information do we need to order a new motor?

We switched the X and the Z and still did not work. We are going to try the break and see what happens.

The X and y axis move! The Z doesn't are saying that I should them check the Brake?

I have MicroRouter Compact, Ser # 40047118, Export # 400471, Date May 2004, running VRMilling 2.25. The Z axis doesn't move. The X and Y will home but the Z does not move. When I try to home the Z axis, the motor does make a humming noise, also the position display does move it gets bigger Exp.1,2,3...

Here is a guitar designed by one of my students in Pro/Desktop. He used QuickCam Pro to create the machining strategies. The attached document shows different stages of the guitar. Notice that the prototype was machined in pink insulation foam before he cut into the alder blank. He also did a small ...

These are the messages that I get when downloading and trying to extract the VRMilling program.

The file starts to download, but completes in about 15 seconds. The zip folder is downloaded to my computer, when I open it ... I get an error message that says the zipped file is invalid or corrupted. All the machines that I have tried this on are using Norton Anti-Virus. That could be the problem....

I have tried downloading the file on 3 different machines and with NO success. I also tried downloading ALL of the other files in the software downloads area and they ALL WORKED! I called another person here in Montana to have him try it and he had no success. Steve ... you said you were able to dow...

Is anyone else having trouble downloading this file? Every time I try to download and extract it ... I get an error message zipped folder is invalid or corrupted.

Can anyone help?

I resent the pictures, hopefully they go through this time.

One of my customers uses his router in a middle school. They machine 40-50 cars every quarter. The machine is running full time. He was having trouble with keeping the machine clean. The small vacuam attachment just wasn't doing the job. The machine filling up with wood chips and cause problems with...

I have had the same problem on 2 Compact 1000's - both less that 3 month old. I checked all the wires on the back of the control pot and jiggled them around. This worked on both machines. The contacts must vibrate close together during machining.

This is a network issue. I ran into the same problem, after several days of work was able to resolve it. The All Users folder needs to be writable - this is where data that must remain the same is held eg, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Denford When logged in as a user do the f...
