    Re: So, I bought a big cnc router....

    I didn't order the router, I didn't spec it out or get to see it run ever. The company that I bought it from hadn't ever seen it run either. It was a new router table that they had imported for...

  13. Re: Nc studio z axis auto tool setting and more

    thanks for the help. The look ahead was set at 50. So you are probably correct about the servo tuning. I will head back to the shop and see if I can get that to make a difference
