Finally got time to play in my shop with the G04 dwell command, just a note for others I found the "X" for time function didn't work for my machine, I found my CNC required a "P" representing pause. ...

Ah good to know! Hmmm, life is best with options! : )

Perfect dharmic, I like the one step solution. I am using Mach 3 so I'll dig around and find that setting, many thanks!

Fantastic Mmpie, many thanks, this will be a big help!

Loving my X4-800L CNC, I have a question, does anyone know if there is a G-Code to tell the CNC to let the spindle reach full speed before progressing to the next step? I often find it starts...

Hi andyup1, I agree with Burrman, if your machine is wanting to cut outside your bed area I wonder you have homed your machine. This task needs to be done to tell the machine where its boundaries...

I also like to set my X,Y,Z zeros then regen the view in Mach 3. Next I jog around my work piece watching the Mach 3 screen and keeping an eye on my work piece to see the outer limits of where my cut...

Fantastic Lomax! I too purchased the X4-800L. I've had mine now for a year and have absolutely loved it! It's a great little machine! Enjoy!

Hello all, I wanted to take a moment to review and talk about an amazing iPad CAD/CAM app that allows you to create G-Code directly on your iPad. I am not affiliated with the app creator, and I am...

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience Blaat with your X4 800L machine. You must of got a dud as I am thrilled with my X4 800L CNC from Omio. I had none of the problems that your machine had...

For any of those who purchased the newer Orange box Omio CNC setups you may find some of this manual helpful. It was posted on another thread but I thought I would include it here....

Many thanks Dharmic! I'll give that a try!

Here's a quick question. Does anyone know how to turn off the Wireless control handle that Omio provides with there machines? So far I have been removing the batteries from it once I'm done to save...

Looks like the same seller as my earlier post with a volume discount. Good price!

I noticed that Lee Valley is offering 1/8" down cut bits for dremels, I assume they are fine for CNC routers. Not sure on the OAL, but here's a link Mini Downcut Spiral Bits - Lee Valley Tools

Not the same brand but I did find this 1/8" downcut with an 1/8" shank on EBay. Seems deccent quality! https://www.ebay.ca/itm/151926815022. I should add that the seller said it would work fine for...

I built one of these for my table saw work and will be using it with my CNC. J. Phil Thien's Cyclone Separator Lid w/ the Thien Cyclone Separator Baffle It works extremely well and all that lands...

Hi Streken, are you referring to the Z height setting tool? If so I agree Omio's documentation is not correct. First input the script for the setting tool to the auto tool zero button as per there...

My only thought other than the customization that Dharmic has mentioned is the ability to change a file at the machine. I like to air cut above the work piece to get an idea what my feed and speeds...

Many thanks dharmic for all your help. I did check Omio's specs and they say the machine has a mechanical resolution of 0.0025mm/step, so it does look like I'm in the ball park. I will keep...

Ok sleep is overrated and I was excited to run out in the shop and try this! What I found is I could get down to a reliable Z axis movement of 0.003, when I attempted 0.002 I found that I only saw...

Ok, got it! I may not get to it for a couple of days as I'm back to work but I appreciate the help and will let you know what I learn! Many thanks!

Cool to hear of your laser addition. My wife has pondered buying a laser, but I guess it would always be possible to add one to the current system. Would love to see it up and running when you get...

Hmmmm ok looks like I've got some researching to do! :)

Interesting! I'm so new to CNC's that I don't know how I would investigate a resolution problem? Any advice, I can look into it?

Many thanks to dharmic who gave me the confidence that I was inputting the offset in the correct spot! I did a little more experimenting this evening and have solved my problem. It appears that for...

Thanks dharmic!, yeah that's where I got it to stick as well, very odd that it won't go to 0.000. At first I thought maybe the 0.012 was a feature because that's the exact value it goes to each...

Hello Omio CNC owners, I have just joined the forum and recently purchased my first CNC an Omio X4-800L CNC. I have everything setup and running and am happy with my purchase but have one problem I...

Hi I'm Peter from Canada. I have recently added a CNC to my workshop to add a new tool for my precision woodworking. I look forward to learning from everyone here and happy to add a new hobby to...
