Hello all,
I have a 3-axis CNC router that's in a weird category for selling. It's technically a homebrew router, but it was built by an amazing professional machinist out of parts from a local CNC...

Hey that's brilliant, thanks!

I'm looking to cast a concrete tabletop with a particular pattern of deep, relatively wide grooves in the surface. The only cost effective material I know of in table-top sizes would be MDF, but it...

Hi all,
I'm doing a job that involves cutting fairly small details into/through cardboard. I'm using a normal 1/16th" carbide drill bit, and it absolutely chews up the top surface of the stock -...

Everybody, thanks for the advice. I ended up just using a pocket toolpath, which was able to detect my shapes well enough despite the lousy vector data. But even with the job cut, I'm gonna go back...

Duplicates! You know, I bet that's it. That would account for some other weirdness I've been running into as well.

Thanks a bunch!

I'm just trying to follow the contours. I'm trying to cut out all the little holes and then lift the finished piece, leaving a bunch of small shapes behind on the table.

I'm using a 16th inch...

Hi All,
I've got a vector file here with lots of tiny little areas to cut out - four thousand actually. I'm making a contour toolpath, and there's more than I can chain by just picking them one by...

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a plugin, macro, wizard, or any other extension to Mach3 that can alert me when a job needs my attention? Some of my jobs run for several hours and I can't watch the...

Even if it's not a performance issue, with all of the iterations this machine has been through since I first started using it for CNC, I think a good clean start will do it some good.

I'll head...

Wow, yeah - it looks like I've got some serious work ahead of me. I've been meaning to wipe the cnc PC for a while now, I guess this is as good an excuse as any. I'm running at the same specs as...

Neil, Thanks for the speedy reply.
I don't think it's a CPU issue. I can indeed run each axis smoothly at full speed (with shift down), and the g-rex takes most of the heavy lifting off of the PC...

Hi all,
I know that Constant Velocity settings are a huge topic, but I'm having a really basic problem...

Using the latest build of Mach3 (R3.042.020) with Art's G-100 plugin, I can't get CV to...
