    Question Sherline CNC Mill & Vectric Aspire

    I want to try the aspire 4.0 from vectric to do some wrapping jobs and I don't want to waist my trial period in figuring out the following:

    For Sherline CNC Mill with 4th axis placed on the x-axis base, in other words the stock material will be parallel to x-axis. for this setup, am I wrapping the x values on the y axis or wrapping the y values on x axis?

    I can't answer your question, but the trial period is indefinite with Vectric products. The catch is that you can only create g-code for the provided samples.

    I believe BobCad and CamBam both have wrapping features too.
