Hey TazzyDean, do you no where to purchase encoder motor cables for the x,y and z axis? Mine are going bad and Gerber distributors want $398 per cable. I appreciate any help on this.

Vacuum chucks are available for the small part sizes that you are needing to machine on your CNC router. A channel seal is used to contain the vacuum to the shape of the part. If interested, send machine size details and part details -

Can someone give a step by step instructions on how to run Enroute 3-d software on the Sabre 408 router. I know how to design thangs..i just don't understand how to get the g-code into the router... Note: My Enroute software is in my design computer, The router has its own computer.. What software or driver do i need in the router computer???? Thanks Dennis [email protected]
Hej Ping!
Äger själv en Gerber Sabre 408 sedan många år.
Gör i regel orginal i illustrator som jag öppnar i Composer som därefter skickas till Artpath. I artpath fixar jag jag med verktygsinställningar etc.
Sedan skickas den filen till en spooler som "snackar med fräsen"
Detta funkar kanon!
Nu till min fråga:
Jag vill nu fräsa 3D och har därför införskaffat: Artcam2007 build 151
Hur gör jag nu för att artcam ska "snacka med fräsen"
Några tips och ideér.

Hi Nick
There should be a program called ArtSpool loaded on your computer. That seems to work reasonably well. There are limitations though. It will use wherever you start as 0,0 so you need to manually move your machine to the Home position before you start machining. It also will not allow a tool change within the program so you need to run a separate program for each tool bit.

Thank´s for your post.
Art spool I have but when I try to launch it I get a error message.
The return home 0,0 is a thing I had in ArtPath before I´m used to that...
OK if i get Art spool to work, do you have a clue what way to get the files in to the comport? Can I use gerbers spool?
Regards Nicklas
Hi Nick
What error do you get?
What communication protocols are you using?
Dropout
Hi
Artspool is now working (version is 1.3)
I load a file made in Art Cam pro 2008 build151
The file is a .ger file
Artspool asks: File transfer will commence after this message. Is the machine ready?
The router is on in X0 Yo home.
Yes
Then artspool: "Unable to establish communication with machine"
The communication settings in artspool:
Machine: Sabre 408
Protocol: Gerber
Serialport: Com1
Baud rate: ? 2400
Data bits, Parity, Stop bits and flow control cant be changed
Any ideas?
Best regards Nick
Hi Nick
I checked my machine this morning, com1, 9600, 8, E, 1, N. Everything worked fine. I didn't have to set anything up on the Gerber at all.

Baud Rate changed and it works!
Thank´s a lot

Gerber makes a good machine. I worked a shop about 15 years ago that ran one. I never ran it but the guys that did thought it was great. A few years ago I purchased a router for my company and we considered the gerber sabre but we got a great deal on another brand. I have heard that Gerber has great tech support also.
