Curious as to what others are doing to keep the fine dust out of your PC and the CNC control boxes. Without a filter on the Avid CNC control boxes, the electronics will coat out with fine dust. I...
All,
I am cutting Cumaru which is a hard exotic almost as hard as Ipe. Cutting on a CNC at a feed rate of 60 IPM with a cut depth of 0.1”. Using an Amana 1/4” down cut spiral bit with the...
Not a bad idea. I ended up mounting rare earth magnets in my spoilboard and holding down the plastic sheet with fender washers. Used an 1/8" downcut bit. Worked reasonably well. Probably the best...
Local area craftsmen are working together to machine face shields out of 30 thou thick PETG. This will be the clear plastic visor. Need any insight on getting this thin stock with my CNC. Vee bit?...
Just tried a totally separate file generated in Vcarve Pro and it executed fine, so I assume it must be something in the original code?
No obvious error messages. Gantry just stops and the...
Yes, still shows as licensed to me.
Not sure, I will check. What does that mean? Used it yesterday without incident, so not sure what changed??
Not sure what is happening here, but I am running a simple inlay code from Vcarve Pro. Part way through the run, the CNC shuts down. Same place every time. CNC Router Parts Pro4848. Does not...
Bingo. The post processor was set to mm. Not sure how that got changed as I don't recall changing it to mm. So, you can design anything in one set of units, but the key is to select the same post...
So, how does that work? In the job set up in Vcarve, I have chosen inches for this job and that is what it shows, both in the set up and in the cursor x/y coordinates. Where is it getting changed...
You are on to something. See below.

Appears to be .5" in VCarve and 0 in Mach 3, as best I can tell. I am very much a toddler when it comes to understanding Mach 3. I appreciate your inputs.

Thanks for the input. When I zero out the Z, and jog up, readings go positive. I had used the CNC for several hours Monday without issue. I had this problem once before right after I bought the...
Hey all,
I am having an issue with my Pro4848. I load a program from Vcarve Pro 9.5, ref all home, zero out x y and z and hit start in Mach 3. Z travel immediately goes to upper limits. Even...
Thanks for the thoughts. The grid pattern is 104 holes on 96mm centers. The hole diameters are 20.1 mm. I use two of these holes as the reference holes, bored into my spoil board. I am using my...
All,
I have CNCRP Pro4848. I am using VCarve 9.5 and Mach 3. I am making some replacement 3' x 5' Festool MFT table tops from 3/4" MDF. Basically, the design consists of a series of holes on a...
All,
Just made my first two parts on my CNCRP Pro4848. I used the V-Carve files for the brush strip and the main shoe from their website. To my dismay, the hole patterns do not line up. The...
Thanks! Steep learning curve, but making progress.:)
All,
I am totally new to this CNC Router forum. While a long time woodworker, I am on a very steep learning curve for the hardware and software aspects of the CNC world. I bought a CRP Pro4848...
