Enter Board Thickness

[abrackett]

I am running a project with board dimensions 28" long 14.5" wide and .723 thick. When starting it ask me to enter board thickness when I try to enter .723 it will not take it. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

On your virtual board where you use the board size put .723 thickness.

I did enter .723 as board thickness when setting up the project

I downloaded a inches to decimal chart and it's on my wall in front of me, I know the decimal to inches on the main factions from the 1.0 to the 16th's by memory but have to refer to the chart for the 32nd's & 64th's that is where calipers come in...

yes, it takes fractions

no, it doesn't need to 'be' in multiples of 1/128", but it will round the number to a multiple of 1/128".

In older builds, sometimes when entering digits, adding the decimal and deleting it doesn't properly 'remember' that you can add the decimal again. Exiting the prompt and going back always fixes the problem.

I am out of ideas. It should work. Can you post the mpc?

The only place it is saved is on the flash card anymore... it has been there for 5 years...actually was the project I was working on when my machine had MANY catastrophic failures... And I cn not figure out how to get it off the card

[waynedazey]

figured it out I believe... the set screw on the quick change adapter has broken through the quick change chuck and is potruding out by 1/16 from side of quick change chuck....

Try .725 inches.

Each time I enter .725 it defaults to .727 also when trying to enter in machine when prompted for board thickness I try to enter 0.723 it just gives me 723 instead of .723 also I I try to measure board thickness with machine it does the same thing prompts me to enter board thickness and when I try to enter 0.723 it gives me 723 with no decimal
