I do not know how your Jacobs chuck is attached.

I believe F5 key will turn on the spindle.

skipping forward when using absolute mode. Just start a few lines before where you need to be. I usually find a spot prior to the last Z retract. ...

using inch measurements.

I'd start at 10,000 or 15,000 RPM. Move about 6 inches per minute, taking cut depths of about .005" Step over would be half the distance of the end mill.

That's a gantry style machine.

Careful on "the machine thought it went back up" That machine is just doing what you told it. With a new machine, and learning, it's always a good idea to do a dry...

I'll have to disagree with #2. Acrylic has a great tendency to channel the beam in a straight fashion. Adjust the focus correctly, and you can cut the acrylic with nice straight sides.

The...

There are many places you can get your plastics from, and save alot of money over what they would charge. If you are producing these things, in any volume, you should not buy your materials from the...

I'm making the assumption that the burr you are referring to, is on the side of the cut, and not the dross below the cut.

The size of that burr, is just a factor of your cut conditions. If you...

I do not need rotary style indexing. My laser works in a 50" x 50" area, and can reposition. This reposition, or indexing, allows use of standard material sheets of 48" x 96".

There are...

it looks promising, but I don't think it supports indexing. Something I need, maybe I can find a work around. Other then that, it's just what I was looking for. Thanks.

I've done a little searching, but I can't seem to find anything. Jetcam is one of the CAD/CAM nesting softwares out there. Available programs to use under windows, seem to be in the $5000 to $10000...

What is your time frame, I have a laser.

I have a W&S #4 model 1420 turret lathe, that I need to get a cross slide nut (7/8" double threaded).

No, I'm looking for a PDF of the manual or something like that.

Leo Greene's site has some more advanced tutorials, but his explanations are really good. ...

Just a way out guess here, but it sounds like something might not be 100% right with your parallel port. A expansion parallel port is not expensive to test this. The parallel ports on the...

have you downloaded EMC yet? you can run it right off of the disk without installing to the hard drive, so feel free to give it a try. If you've become used to Mach3, it's probably best to shell...
