I am running the stock one from cncdepot he made for mach 3. When I bought the router mach 4 was still iffy on compatibility, but now I think its time to upgrade. Mach 3 has been working ok, but I...
I noticed the Avid has recently stopped selling mach3 and added mach4 as a replacement. Has anyone on here switched over? Im also trying to research using my atc with it but nothing has come up yet,...
Just wanted to report back that the machine seems to be running just fine now. The jerkiness is gone, evidently it was the drive spindles. CNCRP/Avid sent me a new set no questions asked once I...
If anyone ever has a doubt on ordering from cnc routerparts/avid cnc........dont. Sent an email to them with a link to this thread and had parts being shipped to me 1/2 hour later. Ahren and Dan took...
I was planning to get a call in to them tomorrow to see what was up. Now I can pass along all thats been tried and suggested, should make getting a solution simple. Over the years I have learned my...
The spindle is shaking, when going in the y direction. In the video I was running at 10,000rpm and 250ipm.
I did a little more digging and trying to eliminate a few things.
1.I started by...
Huge thank you for all the help guys. Looking forward to making this machine what it should be. Headed to the shop to do a little R&D and report back. Im planning to go through the r&p drives to see...
I haven't used my machine much, (this is my 2nd job/hobby) but I have been using 1/4" compression and down cuts bits so far and they seemed to cut ok. The only other machines I have been around were...
Here are a few pics of my tramming setup and measurements. The 4 pictures are going clockwise around a circle without moving the spindle or adjusting anything. The last pic is of the 10"circle that...
Not sure how this will work, but here is a link to a video of the router running the file.

I understand now. I unplugged the cables and moved the gantry back and forth. You can feel a notchiness in the y axis movement, but I can also feel the same thing in the x direction as well. Both...
I can run the file again with the spindle off (cutter removed) and report back. I have a video of it cutting but cant get it to upload here. Dropbox link I guess?
Here are a few pics of the surface after running a small fly cut file. The ridges are all when cutting in the y direction, the x direction there is no problem. You can feel the gantry shake like its...
I do have the latest Vcarve. I did think about just buying the pre maid files for either ebay or vectric, they are cheap enough. The 3d aspect is a little fascinating to me, I also like the idea of...
I can understand that. Its a CNCRP Pro 5x10 with a CNC Depot ATC spindle purchased in October of last year. I will try and get some video of it tomorrow doing the same surfacing routine.
With Aspire I dont think there is a penalty at all for skipping a few years, you just decide when the upgrade to the current version is worth $400. I was saying if you wanted to stay up to date all...
I just received an email from Carveco. The annual maintenance/upgrade cost is $1600, if you want it. The perpetual license included in the beginning is permanent. Im leaning to Aspire right now...
I have finally gotten a chance to go through my router and refine a few things. I was running a 2 3/8" spoilboard surface cutter and it cuts just fine going on the x axis, but on the y axis is...
With the costs so close its hard to decide. I have read that artcam is the more powerful program but aspire is simpler to use. But I have read that either program will do more than most people would...
I am thinking of either adding Carveco or upgrading my vcarve pro to Aspire. I have a small cabinet shop and use Mozaik (excellent software) along with vcarve for the oddball stuff. The upgrade to...
I was using the edge finder that cncrp sells to find the corner of my spoilboard. Then once at 0,0 in the software I would switch to machine coordinates. I was entering those numbers into the g28...
I have been playing with setting my g28 to the front left corner of my spoilboard so that when I home the machine it would give me a consistent 0,0 location for sheet goods. It doesnt seem to...
If anyone can give me some ideas on this please help me. I am running mach 3 on my cncrp pro with an ATC. When I give the m6 command to change tools the tool offset is not applied to the tool. Even...
