save it until you need help on something you've never tried before!
That's $105 worth of extra value. - Priority Support (24 mo) now
comes with 2 hours of online training, which can also be used to pay for
contract programming or even Widget design! That's $210 worth of extra
value. New Widgets coming out all the time- Even if your support ran out, please just send an email and we can send you newer widgets that identify themselves better (leaving helpful notes) and that include more accurate descriptions.
- OD pipe threads now supported with a new widget. - There's a new drilling widget that allows you to set changing depths of cuts AND EVEN changing RPMs while the tool gets deeper into the material.
- Milling widget teaches you how to mill a round without spiraling ALL the way from center. - HighSpeedRect will ask for pilot hole diameter, so it wastes less time by spiraling less where material is already gone. - Cam widget supports simple spiral or constant acceleration.
Spiffy new Lathe Widget Use
your Y-axis lathe to deburr large cross-holes. This new Widget
calculates the chamfering sines and cosines to drop the tool exactly
where you need it. Then it outputs %XYZ blocks (not plotable) to move
the tool along a 3D path without spinning in C at all. Cleans up big
burrs amazingly well!
Did you know? RS-232 comms can be networked from your programming PC out to your communications PC Call
us for help setting this up. You can use network cable instead of RS-232 cable, which works reliably only
up to about a hundred feet.
Spiffy new Mill Widget Are you tired of doing the math to calculate extra xmins and xmaxes for over-sized material? We've got you covered. If you own Mill v5, then just give us a call and we can copy it over and show you how it works!
Say goodbye to activation codes... Supported customers (who have a zero balance owed) can request a new version that only needs codes when moving to a new PC!!
Say hello to quick g-code printouts WITH PICTURES Under File | Print, you can now find an option to print g-code (without going to Codeshark or WinLauncher or Notepad), plus you can also print the toolsheet at the top of page 1. As with other printing inside G-ZERO, you get a graphic (last saved) of your part!
