The width of the line doesn't change much based on zoom level. I'll check the toolpath tab next week when I'm back in the shop.
Thank you

I had a computer issue & had to reinstall Mach 4 for my Avid CNC Pro router, everything works fine now but the preview on the right is very hard to see, the lines that show my part, the current X-Y...
i purchased a used Hermes beveler, I cannot find a model number anywhere, it's older but looks exactly like the Gravograph E6. I need to find a manual if possible so I know how to adjust it, figure...
I'm in the process of buying a non working Vanguard 3400, I own a signshop and I'm planning on getting it back up & running to do ADA Signs. I currently have Signlab pro, Vectric Aspire, Mach 4. ...
I want to have between .5" to 1" standoff. The sandstone is not smooth, it is basically a large sandstone boulder / rock so I don't think the 3m VHB would hold by itself. I'm not familiar with the...
Ok o. Narrowing down my selection. I'm down to either a 90 watt 2'x3' work area with a 3000 chiller (they dont have any 5000 or 5200 in stock) Automation Technologies with actual people in Chicago...
I know the reason there is a price difference. If it was my main business I'd have a trotec but to use it to laser my name on the back of my cnc jobs & cut recipes in my cutting boards I think a...
I'm looking to spend about 5k for a 60 - 90 watt laser. I'm not spending 10k on a machine I'm not sure I'll even use much.
I dont want to spend that much
I'm new to lasers and I'm looking at 2 different companies.
Automation technologies Inc. and G-WEIKE.
G-WEIKE seems like they use high quality components & my contact has been very helpful. ...

I just noticed this occurring on a job I just finished. I routed a total of 6 signs all had this type of finish on the edges.
Material is kiln dried Maple.
Bit is a new Onsrud 40-112...
That looks great I use a Kent CNC but I'd be interested in getting one of the top pieces to help hold my flexible hose in place.

It seems like having them screwed down ever 18 - 24" helps straighten out the bows if they arent straight but that's a good idea also
Thank you, there was only 8 screws total in the 3 longer signs and 6 in the shorter USA sign and placement was easy, I placed them in the outside margins and just left the centers "hang" free. Yes...
Looks great so far. I'm curious why dont you like the use of magnets?
So I have a pro 4896 with a custom vacuum table with t-slots running around the outside plus through the center of both axis.
I do a lot of routing on rough cut slabs that are typically around...
Davis thank you. I purchased Aspire last fall. Unless they have a competitors trade in like sign software mfg do, I'm probably going to stick with Aspire.
I think part of the residential vs business address charge is because typically businesses are located along major highways or in industrial parks more often than residential addresses. If they have...
I'm not saying UPS is right to charge what they charge or not but the shipping company can and do charge what they want.
I was going to order a couple 40-112 1/4" Onsrud down cut bits and my...
The machine has been great, so far no cons at all. I'm running the full CNCRP nema electronics package with the CNCRP Spindle. If you have any specific questions just ask.
I have a pro4896 and I live in (Clarion County) in Western Pa if you are interested in coming up to look at it.
The least expensive shielded wire I was able to find was from CNC ROUTER PARTS they have them listed with their kits but I'm sure you could purchase them separately. I used to have an old diy table...
I have a customer that wants me to route out his logo and blind mount it onto a large stone (I think it is sandstone because it was sandblasted at one time). What I've came up with is cnc riuting 2...
Mainly wood, some pine & hemlock but mostly hard woods (oak, cherry, maple & walnut) and some PVC & Acrylic.
What I'd like a laser for is to engrave my logo on the back of products that I route.
Thanks
This is very interesting. What wattage laser is everyone using? How does a 7w diode laser compare to a co2 laser? I thought someone posted something about doing a 150watt upgrade is this a joke or...
It's just a v carve job it could be almost anything V-CARVE, V-CARVE PRO, ASPIRE, EN-GRAVE, ENGRAVELAB etc. The blue background on the proof looks like a Vectric program but all the programs that...
That's awesome it looks as though it has a pneumaticly controlled dust shoe to allow tool change & different sized bits
Gerry, that sounds awesome are you able to post any photos?
