Sat Jul 11, 2009 7:46 pm Machine Not Available, but part is definitely machineable
Hi,
I am new to eMachineShop. Great concept. I am porting a part over to the eMachineShop CAD which I've made before, but it says there are no machines. It is basically an 8mm shaft with some operations done on it. What am I doing wrong in the software?
nvm, i found the answer re: no support for 4-axis. since the shaft has both circumferential slots and flat slots, not supported. will see about designing around this.

The next release should resolve this. For now, when using the Revolve feature, use Comments To Machinist for non-revolved lines.

thanks. in addition to the upcoming software upgrades, are you also saying emachineshop also has 4-axis milling capability?

It depends on what you are trying to do - we can usually do what you need via Comments To Machinist.
