This is the new machine definition from the newest tutorial video, it is named different but it is the same definition.

in order for the M998 to work the axis' must be referenced
see the attached.

the best way, is to make sure that you have referenced all the axis prior to starting your program. then the m998 at the end of the opp will return the z axis to the tool change position.

Remember not to use parentheses in the tool description

Danny it was a bug available online for only 10 hours or so. Everything is fixed and the ads won't appear in the purchased versions but only in Free and Trial? The new version is 7.1.5.45786

This message normally occurs when a face is picked for a curve instead of a edge, or for some reason the A axis has a value assigned to it. This can be checked by clicking on the setup icon (the...

Remember that "Safe Distance" is incremental, that is to say that it will bring the cutter down at a incremental distance to the last known surface. "Safe Level" is absolute, so a safe level of .05"...

Dave, the 2D geometry function in SprutCAM can help you with this. Check out my video called SprutCAM 2D lines available here CAD & CAM Video | Tormach | We provide personal small CNC machines, CNC...

Ollie, the first rule of SprutCAM is not to download the versions directly from SprutCAM, especially do not download the night builds. These versions are in no way stable, and undergo daily changes....

Mcphill, never fear the dongle will always be near. However I am investigating the reliability of the dongles we are currently using, and may need to switch it. I like using the dongles, and it makes...

I think you guys may be on to something, and I am looking into changing the dongle software that we are using. While it may be true that most companies are using the software that you cited Magnum (I...

Hello guys, this seems to be a version specific problem, I was able to open the project that some of you sent me with the latest release available on the Tormach FTP site. If you need the FTP site...

Please post or send your .stc file [email protected]. I will check out the issue and pass it on to SprutCAM if I cannot fix it.

You also want to make sure that there is no value in the diameter section of the Mach3 tool table for any of your tools. Then if you forget and keep radius compensation on, there will be no value for...

Christian, the best way that I have found to do this, is to use the 2D Geometry function. Turn the geometry model off, and then choose a line or a point. Then click on the corner of your workpiece...

David, unfortunately SprutCAM's default for 2D Contouring is to have radius compensation checked. If you watch this video on altering the XML file you will be able to change this default.

Larry, good question. You would take a first pass at a depth of -.0625. Then with a separate 2D contouring op take a second pass with a top level set to -.0625 but the safe level would remain the...

Here is a video I made to address this issue

Well, welcome to the wonderful world of CNC machining. Theres not a CAM software out there that won't require some good ole' G-code editing form time to time. I have used $30,000 CAM systems that...

You can also extrude them as fixtures. There is another way of doing this. Instead of 2D contouring use "Jet Cutting" . You can add bridges in this operation, however you will have to add a Z depth...
