--- Quote from: bogstandard on March 25, 2009, 05:47:08 PM ---That was quick John. Now I have the destructions, I will give it a dose of looking at in the morning. At the moment it definitely looks promising. I have already :poke: the suppliers, and they don't do any extra change gears for this lathe. So it looks like I need to purchase a few gear cutters. Bogs --- End quote --- The imperial version gets a whole 'nother set of change gears, can you lean on them for a set of those? Maybe a US supplier? |

4 gigs memory, 700 gig hard drive (spread across 4, size of drive C, 120 gig), so I don't see that as being a problem. It would most probably be a lot cheaper knocking up extra gears myself. Is yours an Imp machine? Bogs |
| John Hill:
Yep, should be no problem with that configuration, what stage were you at when it karked? Did it load the values into the big window? What was the very last thing you did? No, I have the same change gears as you but I added in the ones listed in the American Grizzly manual for the same machine. If that program works for you at least you should be able to decide just what gears to make. |
| John Hill:
One more thing, did it make a file called 'All Ratios.dat'? |
| bogstandard:
I have the program on my desktop. Run it. Click 'load' About 10 secs later it comes up with the memory error. No folder is generated. John |
