Re: unimat 3d model project

Re: unimat 3d model project
I had trouble with CAD models I was sending out until I discovered a setting in my CAD which defines the units used. (The range runs from ?ngstroms to Parsecs, which seems a bit ridiculous.)

Re: unimat 3d model project
Thanks! I¡¯m not sure¡ the distance from the top of the arch that sits on the way bar to the center of the quill hole (vertical distance) should be the center height of a Unimat. That is 36mm.

Re: unimat 3d model project
