Hi Gerry - Yes, the "Mach3Version3.043.exe" Mach3 installer file currently posted (contains v3.043.062 +" Win10 1803 patch") is the correct binary. If folks have already patched their Mach3 install,...
Quick update; The lastest Mach3 download from Artsoft, v3.043.062, posted on their site contains the fix for Win 10 64bit 1803 (and beyond)! > http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates...
All,
For your awareness, we have a provisional patch posted over on our "CNC Router Parts" forum that resolves the issue preventing Mach3 from successfully initializing on the Windows 10 64bit...
Like many in the CNC community, we and our customers have been affected by the Windows 10 (64bit), version 1803 update issue that leaves the Mach3 application unable to completely load (after profile...
In case folks haven't seen it, we recently updated our reference spoilboard project for large format machines (still configurable for custom sizes from 2' x 2' benchtop machines to 5' x 10' and...
The Plug-and-Play controllers use stand-alone digital motor drivers and the DIY (NEMA 23) kits use a integrated multi-driver package that incorporate the drivers and some IO to simplify DIY wiring...
All - For those of you building one of our machines (or considering) here is our latest PRO Build Series video covering our Plug-and-Play CNC Electronics (NEMA 34, NEMA 23), and the 2.2kW Plug and...
All - I thought I'd share our latest sample project here. Let us know if you have any questions or suggestions!
This was done using VCarve Pro however, equally applicable to VCarve and Aspire. ...
Wow, that is awesome! The beveled armrest cutaway is great. If you don't mind I'm going to send our local luthier club a link to these pictures.
Great point - and reminds me of a PSA regarding...
In terms of learning content. I'd recommend checking out;
1) the official Fusion 360 Learning Page Learn Fusion 360 in 60 Minutes | 3D CAD/CAM Modeling Tutorials There has been a significant...
Hi Daniellyall,
Thanks for the feedback. Rule 1, as you call it, is a good tip, however is intended as a suggestion for parametric designs - less relevant to direct-model designs as most our...
Hi David,
I agree with TwoWheelMike - though I'll make a few additional points;
1) VCarve CAM auto-nesting of parts and sheet setup is very good (for example - Fusion doesn't have...
Hi David,
Yes, It is difficult to gauge the "workflow transition costs" versus the promise of new features, user experience, pricing models, and capabilities. I think sometimes CAD tools are...
In parallel with Gerry's suggestion - Sounds like Cory gave you some things to try. Let us know how you get on!

Thanks! Yes - we had a blast too. It was great seeing people design their own custom 3D car, watch it get machined, and build & race it all within 30minutes. CNC - the original (and still...
Great point, well put.
-Nathan
I'd say more or less it does - Fit-curve-to-selected-vectors is essentially Vectric's analog to Fusion's smoothing feature in this context. It is a different workflow and involves a bit more upfront...
Hi Everyone - We've posted a video that I thought I'd share here too.
It is essentially our "Toolpath Tolerance PSA" for improving the speeds (doubling in the case of our simple sample project)...
Hi - We haven't found cups/pockets in the table for the Benchtop PRO feet to be necessary in our experience, however it certainly couldn't hurt if you feel motivated to create small locating pockets....
Other than the friction lock features you mentioned - that looks really good! Yeah, the lower frame should be big enough that you can support a fairly wide range of router/spindle sized upper frames...
Hi - You should be able to change then MagnetDiameter parameter to .5 and do a press-pull on the faces of the magnet retaining features of the upper frame to remove those features. Attached is a...
Hi,
You can download the Fusion design file pre-programmed for the CNC Router Part's 2.2kW Spindle from our Thingiverse project here --> Parametric_CRP_Dust_Shoe_v1.1.80mm_CRP_3HP_Spindle.F3D

Workin,
Our profile linear rails are cut and deburred on one end (the norm for linear rails), and precision ground on the other end specifically for making a clean and precise splice when...
Kosh - Good find/call on G28 - For future reference / others benefit I'll add that there is a "CNCRouterParts" POST in Fusion 360 you can use that will have defaults (such as G28 disabled) and a...
Hi Mokra,
That is a great question, we would suggest that you try to square the base to within about 1/16" when measuring diagonally. Using homing switches will allow you to auto square the gantry...
In the video clip I referenced - that was 120 IPM @ .125" DUC.
-Nathan
awerby has good advice. Keeping the tool and material cool is the key - though some tools have a higher/more forgiving range of acceptable feeds & speeds.
We've used the Freud Up-Cut Spiral 1/4"...
Thanks! We are glad you liked it. -Nathan
Thank you! Some responses below.
Sure, it is best practice to make sure the touch plate sits as flush as possible on the surface you are sensing. Compressed air works great.
