    CAD to sheet layout - any tools out there?

    I'm curious if anyone knows of any "cheap" (hobbyist cheap) tools for taking a CAD model and laying out the individual parts/components on sheet stock (plywood, mdf, etc.)? I have a Fusion 360 model...

  3. Re: G-code telling machine to go to "home" instead of custom zero point (Fusion 360 C

    Also, I think you need to zero out the back lash values before you test, otherwise the existing values are in effect during testing.

    Re: CRP4848 - My first machine

    I'm not sure what is the core of this plywood. It's probably not red oak since I bought it at Home Depot. So far it's a quality piece of wood. I haven't found any voids and after cutting the...

    The PMDX 126 along with the PMDX 107 spindle controller and ESS is my favorite combo. So much of the configuration just works the first time.

    Re: Alibre to Dolphin PM3D export plug in

    I have done the same and it works fine. The only advantage the plug in would have is eliminating the export step, which would be useful.
