It works well enough most of the time. The biggest issues is the PC used in the controls; it's getting a bit unreliable due to the age and finding direct replacement of the parts isn't always easy...

I have a Smithy 622, which is also based on the KX3. Page 34 of the manual (link below) shows a blown up view of the head assembly. Might give you a few ideas on possible disassembly. There is...

I use 99% isopropyl on mine and it seems to work quite well on aluminum, but I admittedly have not tried a ton of other options. The no residue to clean up is a very nice aspect though.

It's a switching power supply from Automation Technologies (KL-350-48). I haven't noticed anything else that I would attribute to EMI, this has really been the only quirk in the system.

My G540 seems to have developed a very strange glitch. When I first turn it on, even with no parallel cable and no steppers, it will occasionally go immediately to fault (probably about 3/4 of the...

Not really a quality issue on the parts, more an annoyance trying to refine things. I was trying to speed up my feed rate and was more concerned about the inability of the arc slowdown settings not...

Is the vcarve routine in V26 not capable of generating arc moves? It has radio buttons for arc moves in the posting menu when setting up the vcarving and a setting for arc slowdown in speeds and...

My converted X2 made circles that looked very similar to those when I first setup backlash compensation. Hoss has a video that goes over the settings for backlash compensation, the part that made a...

I REALLY appreciate the help jrmach. I followed the steps you tried with the cleanup and arc fit of the original file, and it came out great. Found a few minor features that needed tweaking to come...

Polyline editing can turn a spline into a polyline to join segments. It also significantly multiplies the number of entities doing so.

I appreciate the help.

I'm not surprised on the entity count, the drawing was done with a ton of short polyline and spline segments joined together. Vectorizing it will replace an approximated...

I haven't tried to do one using a vectorized picture - does that sometimes give better results than the original CAD files?

I've got a file that I drew in AutoCAD that I would like to v-carve on my router. I tried using the v-carve routine in BobCAD V26, but a large portion of the drawing is destroyed and the toolpath...
