Thank you for your information.

Am I right to say that we can ignore those area that we can't reach and we would not need to unscrew any parts to lubricate it?

This is the kind of question that my local teachers and lab assistants like to ask.

Hi, Bradders.

I have this doc. I am looking for Maintenance Guide as for Authorised Router Motor Service Station. My closest one should be Denford direct, as I am in Singapore.

I am providing support for Singapore customer.

Hi,

Is there a maintenance guide for Compact 1000? I have being milling for almost a 1000 cars. Only did general vaccum and lubricant.


Anything that we need to take note? Anything that we need to take a part to clean, in order to prolong the machine life?

Thank you.

Hi,

Can anyone explain how come I see smoke from my R-Type Block?

I am using 4 flutes ball nose milling bit at stepover 15% with 23000rpm. What is wrong? With 2 flutes, it is fine.

Hi, Steve.

Thank you for your information. I will inform my users.

BTW, I am from Singapore.

Hi, Denford Admin.

Point Taken. Thank you.

Hi, Denford Admin.

Your advice is really helpful. F1 really work here. I am looking for information about commend in the .FNC.

BTW, how can we reduce the .FNC when we know that we want to start somewhere else, other than from the top?

I am impressed.

Does it work if I hit the E-Button? My new users always stuck, when they hit the E-Button.

With the new updated, for those user for older version VR Milling user, what should they do in order to upgrade their current software?

Do we need to uninstall and reinstall? Please advice.

Thank you, Denford Admin.

Hi, Bradders.

Now I know what I can work with the Custom Boundary Option. Thank you.

OMG!!

It is a wonderful idea. Now I need to find a block of wood to make that happen. lol..

Hi,

Did not see the update on the web site.

Hi, Steve.

Thank you for the information.

I will advice our users on that part.

Hi, Steve.

Thank you for your information.

But I understand that we need to pay extra on top of the milling machine as for the QuickCAM Pro, is that right?

Thank you, Steve and Denford Admin.

I will do a test on my first PC. I will feedback to the same post, if i have any positive information.
