  1. Re: Canadian Can Cam CNC Routers--looking for opinions

    Hey Brian - I really like this machine. As I said the only thing that is a negative is the fit and finish. It's hard to lubricate because the covers aren't easily removed and the grease fittings are...
  2. Re: Canadian Can Cam CNC Routers--looking for opinions

    Haven't used the machine a whole lot but I am still pretty impressed with it. The fit and finish aren't super high end but frankly it does not affect anything. It's still rock solid and customer...

    Re: Exporting of feed rate and spindle speed?

    yes, it was actually sent to me by the manufacturer. I've got an e-mail off to him as well. He mentioned to check Vcarve for any setting that may have to be tweaked. Funny thing is if I export to...

    Exporting of feed rate and spindle speed?

    I used to have a CNC Shark Pro and recently purchased a new machine. Now this is probably a post processor issue but is there somewhere in Vcarve, or CUT 3d for that matter, that you have to specify...

    Re: HELP !! Tilt back Guitar neck with VCarve Pro

    Why not just do it at the CNC level? Setup your fixtures to have markings to zero out multiple times to cut individual pieces of the neck. I just purchased a new CNC machine and I can set multiple...

    Re: Feeds and speeds - ad nauseum ;-)

    It's a CAN CAM Minitron d23m - 24"x36" - 2.2 kW - 3hp spindle. Thanks Gerry I'm not too concerned about the finish of the wood after machining. I'd be more concerned about longevity of the bits. ...

    Feeds and speeds - ad nauseum ;-)

    Hey guys, I'm new here, somewhat. I just purchased a new CNC machine. It has a water cooled spindle and now I do all my rpms in my software, which is Vectric Vcarve and Cut3d. My current dilemma...

    OK - So I finally figured out what was going on and it was quite simple once I figured it out.

    I really like modeling in Rhino. So the next thing will be the neck. I assume I will have to figure...

    No - it has to be straight, is supposed to be straight. I'm not sure what happened there. Will start over and see how it goes.

    Yeah - that is the plan - figure it all out. I, thought, I was...

    Thanks Burrman - that completely clears it up. I really appreciate the video. I guess I'm a little dense!:D I have no idea how I ended up with that small curvature. It "should" be a straight line...

    Thanks Burrman - I had to re-read your post a couple of times. When you look straight down at the fret board, Plan View, it is made up of 4 straight lines. There is no curve on the top and bottom...

    Thanks Jeff - I tried exploding and joining it back again and it did not fix the problem?? Weird. I was spoiled by autocad, I guess. If the solid was made it was a solid. You cannot explode a...
