Ok... Just so people know after a lot of phone calls and web research I have found that Liberty Hardwoods (St Louis, MO) and Cherokee Wood Products (Upland, CA) both sell the double-sided UV Coated...

The company we got it from was Cedar Creek, they had the UV coating done in Texas somewhere. Texas won't coat the wood unless we do a semi load ($30,000) which we are not ready to afford yet. So we...

Hey, so I am here asking for some help. Our wood distributor (Cedar Creek) just informed us they are no longer going to be carrying the wood we use in daily manufacturing, great news right? Yeah not....

Working: I Finally got it working, turns out the Dnc program I was using "WDNC95" was bad.
I am now using MultiCam Suite 4 Download Link Below, Its all setup and running I am using Vectric Aspire...

Update: I built a HPGL 3D post processor that works with aspire witch fixed the overlapping models, The problem I am having now is
that at a random repeatable (per file) point the head drives to...

Wow, two amazing Replies. Don't take this short reply as anything less than what it is, an very humble appreciation for all the help being offered. Its just 7am (WAY too early for me) and I have to...

Hmm, from the sound of it, I may want to just use a drop-in retrofit. I heard MachMotion was good, and they are local so I was considering a retrofit from them but they are somewhat expensive and for...

Was thinking about that as well, but I have no idea how to do this or where TO get it... I also heard upgrading the firmware might work but again, same boat. I did find that I was using the wrong...

When I last had dialogue with them I made inquiry into their HPGL post processor and was informed it works great, I opted out of expressing my complaints as I then assumed user error, but at the...

Initial point for those who want it short and sweet
I have an older (1996) CNC that only supports HPGL. The software I am using is Vectric Aspire. The CNC has issues cutting the hpgl that Aspire is...

Had a local print shop print it, they printed it on normal paper, gloss smeared due to their printer, the matte looked good so we tried to laminate it and put it the wrong way through the lamination...

Built it, printed it, replaced my cover. Looks great =D
If you need the PSD, send me a PM. It's 500mb...

It's VERY large (6966x5832) and if printed, it needs to be 10.75" by 9"

To he owner of this post and anyone else who cares.
I am making a CNC/Multicam Wiki. May eventually have info on how to help with stuff like this

Multicam Guides
will end up buying a full site...

Thanks for the suggestion. It ended up being the sensors were off. Lined them up and it's working great

I have an older 7x10 Multicam SF machine, I use a round-over/cut combo bit to leave smooth edges while cutting. I cut half way through on one side, flip the wood over then finish the cut on the other...

Got everything working so far.

For anyone else reading this, my settings I am using are

1/4" V-Carve bit. 1600rpm, 250ipm, 100 plunge.
1/8 Straight bit. 1600rom, 100imp, 30 plunge.
I am...

Tons of great information louieatienza. Thanks for the chipload information
Had one question I was not able to find out information about though.

Still wondering about the spindle speed though....

Multiple passes I guess. I told the people who sold me the bits I was going to be cutting 3/4" Baltic Birch and they said the 57-240 should be fine.
I had planned on multiple passes anyways,...

Hmm, it's amazing what variations of google search queries can result in if you stick with it
these links have been wonderfully helpful answering these questions, at least some of them.
...

So, long story short, I have a recently acquired two CNC's. More or less just thrown in my lap.
I am 90% sure everything is ready for use except for the bit settings, which I know are quite...

Doubt anyone is near me, but I am going to be getting two 1998 Multicam CNC's later this week. One SF series, and one CSG series. They were at a price I could not pass up. Was wondering if anyone is...

I am buying a 1998 Multicam CSG. From the tech I am thinking he said it does not support GCode.. He said it supported some kind of H code. I am pretty sure this is what he said, something about 2D,...
