Okay, smack me for replying to an old thread, but I found this thread really useful so I wanted to add something to it for others that may come across it. I am going to add a Harbor Freight Air...

They probably need to be edited. I had problems with them like that but started to edit them in Font Forge.

It's pretty, but when you're engraving on an AR15 Lower Receiver, it's likely for ATF markings which have to be at 0.003" depth or deeper. The spring loaded drag engraver isn't that deep.

So,...

EDIT: This post is going to be a bit long, but in it I will give you several options that you can try. Also, I take some considerable time to explain the problems I've ran into so I really hope...

Brad over at TacticalKeychains (IG and .com) created a video that (for me, did the trick) explaining how to set relative offsets for tools in PathPilot. The key to his method is that he has a tool...

Higher gauge, (smaller awg value) the better. Monoprice is a good place to start.
...

This exact compressor is on sale over at Home Depot for a little while longer. It's cheaper right now than I got it earlier this year when I had a major discount / coupon available. It's what I run...

Definitely. A wireless / wired network bridge will get a stronger connection. One with multiple external antennas, even better! (I've seen some bridges that don't have external antennas, so anyone...

Metal studs aren't a problem for wifi signals. However if there is a aluminum skin on the insulation or wire mesh, that could be blocking the signals.

There are still several ways to solve the...

I had problems with a crappy extension cable. (Length and gauge of wire makes a difference). I bought a higher gauge wire extension cable and my adapter worked great.

Not that you need to go...

If you have room to move the router, you can try getting it closer. If you can't move it much, you can try getting it higher. A slight change of a foot or two can make a big difference in some...

I'm really glad that they are being open about this. I understand it taking some time, but this is good of them to share! I was sitting on the info for a little while because it was easy to see...

I'm glad someone started a summary thread. I was going to when I started to mod mine, but someone did it first and that's great Johnh, is this something you might be interested in revising over...

I've played with it quite a bit. I like it. There is a bug that is fixed in the next release (from what I was told), basically: No spaces or underscores in the font filenames...so if you add a...

A rotation control for the Engraving Wizard would be nice. An input that takes positive or negative degrees (ClockWise / CounterClockWise respectively) relative to the chosen left, center, right...

I was having lots of trouble getting non-stock fonts to work. Going back and forth with Tormach Pathpilot folks a couple times they found the problem and will be releasing an update. I tested a...

If it fits it chips!

I did confirm with another person, also. They had to use a higher quality (thicker) USB Extension cable to get better reception. I ran my extension cable out of the cabinet, up and into the swing...

Just added them to that directory. I did try to resolve some errors in font forge. It's a font editing program.

Fonts can have all sorts of inconsistencies, so I expect your mileage may vary. I...

Praise for one person isn't a knock against the other. I've seen videos of what TKC was doing and also talked with him about it on several occasions. He jumped in and tried it before I did, I had...

Thanks, that would be fantastic. If they would let me, I'd gladly pay for the maintenance at least for a year... and very likely more. I think it is a good value if I can count on them for some...

I'm using the stepped soft jaws. That was the first part I made on mine. On the other hand, I'm going to take some well given advice (probably from you, if I recall) and relevel my mill stand so...

They refunded my money when I went to buy the maintenance. The previous PCNC owner said that it was under extended service agreement, Tormach investigated and said it wasn't. So, I would have been...

When I get to customizing my Pathpilot, I'll be sure to have a dual boot setup... one where I run the stock Pathpilot and the other where I run the custom one. So, if I run into problems on the...

Thanks, popspipes. I can find all sorts of fonts. I had a perception that the first 3 fonts I tried "didn't work"... on the second try I realized that there was some error condition that wasn't...

The first three fonts I tried didn't work, at all. I rebooted the controller and tried again. Still didn't work. Later on, I came back to it and tried again at a much larger size (0.22" if I...

I wish I had something valuable to add, but I'm VERY interested in this topic. I'd love to be able to input some custom data and have the software account for errors as best it can.

It's in the same place as 1.9.1. What browser are you using? Refreshing was good advice, but you could also clear cache and refresh if that didn't work.

Sorry for the late reply, but yes I have both models working. I have a good quality (thicker wire) USB extension cable running outside of the cabinet. After you plug it in, you have to use the...

Does anyone have any TTF fonts that they've added and used with PathPilot successfully that they would be willing to share and/or link to? I'm specifically interested in creating a thread where...
