After installation of my Indexer, I was a big trouble making some toolpath in Artcam... I studied a lot almost all the threads on Artcam Forum but i was lost in all that readings.. I decided to try on my indexer to get some hands-on experience...I modelled egg type of thing in 3D studiomax and imported it into Artcam..Here i unwrapped it and projected some grapes onto it...Thanks God so far so good.. Now i generated toolpath in Artcam and after various tries i was able to make some Gcodes... I let the Gcode in NCPLOT for simulation and my eyes found it good ( But later i found that my Gcode is not correct)..I installed the 3" round mango wood to the indexer chuck and centered and aligned it... Then i ran the gcode in the air to check the behavior of my Z-axis..I zeroed the Z-axis tool on top of the workpiece and then ran the code.. My Z-axis retract 3mm and then plunge into the workpiece start cutting...After an hour, I found the problem in my rough cut and stopped the machine.. If machine was not stopped the cutter cut the whole model at the end and workpiece fallen...I removed the work piece incomplete.. I was happy that some how i managed to cut the part on my indexer.. I made this semi-finished model into a show piece stand, that later sold in Funfair for about 15 US dollars..I studied more about the functionality and draw back of my procedure and my next project will show that how much i succeeded in my efforts....
How amazing is that i was born after millions of years ... and that I will never born again..This is my last life.. In this universe , at this time I EXIST... I am not a dust now but Soon i will be.... Life is too short and lot of things to do...
May Allah forgives us for the sins we committed....
