I have a post processor I used to use at my previous employment. We used Virtual Gibbs, and I saved the post processor. Can somebody explain how a post processor is written? If I have this one we used on Virtual Gibbs, can it be modified to work with cambam, cut2d or any other cam programs...

JW thanks for all the info! I did type in diy cnc, and it is too much info for me. It would be nice to have a recommended from somebody website, that I don't have to read for 6 months.:confused: I will call cnc4pc and get their advise. Thanks again Dennis

Ron, Cut2D looks like exactly what I need, actually all three programs look like they will work. Do you have one that seems easier and more user friendly to use?? I emailed Cut2D and Sheetcam to see if they have a post processor written for the MX2. Another question.... I have another MX2...

Thanks, That gives me a place to start looking and calling.

I have never tried to put a dxf file into the controller. I will try it. I am not it a hurry, but thanks.

Does anyone know a place I could start..........ACAD is the main cad program I draw with. I would like to know if there is a conversion program out there that will convert the DXF file to a CAM file? The place I worked at for years, we used virtual gibbs, but I can't afford that! Just wondering...

hey guys, Is there a place you can purchase these hobbs? or will I have to make my own? This looks like the easiest way to make gears that I have seen, but I can't find anywhere that makes the hobb, so I don't have to worry about making it myself. Thanks

I'm not seeing the valve timing difference. with the 4 lobes exactly 90 degrees apart, they should open cylinders every 20 degrees.?? I think it was the guy on 5bears that made his master rod compensated, but he used steel instead of aluminum for more strength. maybe it was somebody else...

Thanks Steve, I know it runs good.......I've seen quite a few on you tube. I was just being curious if anyone held a timing light on all the other cylinders to see where they were at. Dennis

Does anyone know how far off the timing would be in degrees on the slave rods if the spacing in not corrected on this engine? Also is there anywhere we can find what the correct hole positions would be to hit TDC every 40 degrees? Just curious Thanks Nice job Terry!! The pictures you gave us...

I don't think he is out of line for the price. The castings are very good quality. The picture I posted is the castings. There are a lot of steam, and gas engine casting kits out there that cost more.

Keystone Pattern just emailed me and said they can sell the castings for $300. Email Abe at ........keypat (at) mymts.net Thanks Dennis

I paid $60 for my prints a few years ago. Not sure how much Keystone Pattern is going to charge for castings. You will have to email them and ask. This is an engine that was very popular with builders in the Strictly I.C. magazine. When Les passed away you couldn't buy the castings anymore...

I just got my set in the mail today. They are very detailed. Abe really did a great job! The original castings were all solid, lots of machining had to be done. These even have detail on the inside.

Ok everyone. John Chenery emailed me and said he will sell the prints for the Gypsy. His email address is .... johnc- (at) msn.com Then you can contact Abe at Keystone Pattern....keypat (at) mymts.net and he is making the castings. Good Luck

Thanks lantain, I tried johnc-(at)msn(dot)com is that what you meant? Dennis

Still looking for John Chenery's email address or phone number. Can anyone help me out here? I don't think he would want me giving copy's of the blueprints to everyone. Thanks

I will post the price when I find out. I'm waiting for the foundry to call me back. Thanks

here is one I found by just doing a search on google

Hi I was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying Gypsy castings? I had a set made for myself and the foundry has more made. I bought the prints from John Chenery about 4 years ago, and he said he will sell the prints but not the castings. I have tried to email John again, but he...
