Make me a reasonable offer, worst I can say is no thanks :)
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Thank you,

Just in time for the holidays I'm selling my VCarve 6.5 so I can get a spindle.
As you can see from the screenshot it can be updated to 10.5 for $175 or upgraded to Aspire for $1300.
I'm the...
I hadn't heard of Mobilux but I will give it a try.
Thank you
Anyone? I did find my small Powermatic grease gun that I "think" will fit the Hiwin zerks.
Thank you,
dan
Hi,
What grease/lube would you recommend fort LG20's on a vertical Z? I'm in the US and machine wood, MDF so oil dripping would be a big proglem.
Thank you,

I finally figured out how to make my back surface into a curve and I exported that as an AI which worked for the cut out.
I'm surprised there isn't a DeskProto forum in the CAM section. I'm sure...
I re-made a project and forgot to check the woods thickness (I set Z from the top). On the original project, designed in Rhino, the thickness matched up well and the skin left was fine. This time...
That website is great, thank you.
And, thank you Andrew, it's always nice to have company people on the site.
Dan
So it's based on saves, exports and time. Anything else?
Thanks
Dan
Thanks Gerry. I was burned by an "eval" software a while ago so I'm leery.
Dan
How does the evaluation work? It says you can save 25 times. What is considered saving? Is opening and closing the program a "save"? I would like to run the tutorial, but don't want to blow...
? As someone who was considering Alibre I'm bothered by what you're saying. Can you give some specifics? Downgraded software? What's the big deal about the license enforcement? The Maintenance...
Thank you for the info Gerry, Andrew and mcphill.
Andrew, I'm pretty unsure which software to go with but yours seems to be recommended a lot. I'm pretty comfortable with VCarve so I'm leaning...
So, Deskproto creates 3D and Mach3 will execute?
Too bad Vectric doesn't do this, I guess I will have to add Deskproto to my VCarve.
Thanks,
Dan
This is a typo, right? :
e.g. G68 A12 B25 R45 causes the coordinate system to be rotated by 45 degrees about
the point Z=12, Y=25
It should be, X=12, right?
Thanks,
dan
Thank you, I will take a look at it.

Is there a way to cant the settings? For example, if you have a piece to cut out of a sheet, but the layout in Mach is wrong for the sheet good you have available. Instead of re-aligning the sheet...
Sorry for the confusion, Henrik. It was 2AM here and I had a brain fart.
I understand what you're saying about connecting the DC negatives of the two PS. I will do that.
Thank you,
Dan
Thank you for the reply, I've read the G540 manual, but my setup isn't like theirs. My 12v PS is running on it's own AC input so I'm not understanding why I'd run a wire between it and the 48v...
I picked up one of the Tyco relays ( http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?CMP=ILC-1c127onlinecatalog&sku=17M3058 ). I went with the 12v since I have it available - it's running two of...
Very nice of you to do this. I'm new to CNC but once I get the basics figured out I'll have to try the 3D stuff out (and the 3D software since VCarve won't do it).
Thanks,
Dan
Can someone help me find a thread/post on squaring everything up (gantry, axises, router, limit and homing switches)?
Thank you,
Dan
Here's a Hall Effect sensor http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/948857-ic-hall-effect-sw-mp-92ua-us5881lua.html
Folks are using them for limit and homing switches.
Dan
Peter,
I'm interested in the Gecko Chiller but I see it's out of stock. Any idea when you'll have more?
Thank you,
Dan
That's a beauty Bob. Eye candy is nice, but performance is all that matters and all of Joe's Hybrid models seem to perform really well.
Dan
Thanks Gerry, I think I'm going to upgrade it just in case. Funny how much more powerful computers are in just a few years.
Thanks,
Dan
That is what I want to hear! I'm really looking forward to adding CNC designs into projects to begin with and expanding from there.
Dan
Good tip on the power saving mode, I bet forgetting that gets old quick ;) I'm surprised at how little RAM the machine has but that'll be a really cheap upgrade. Good info on transfering between...
3 different opinions from the forum? Heck, I have more voices than that in my head ;)
I'd still feel better if things were different, but I'll probably go with Joe's. I'm hoping that the backlog...
