If this is at the start of a job have you checked the Z safe/clearance height set in your cam software compared to the available amount of...
I surface the lower board only when I need to use it (I'm a model maker so 90% of my jobs are 6 mm thick or less). I attach the top board (which...
Yes - you just take the top layer off if you need more height. For my magazine rack project I even had to machine a pocket in the lower layer to...
When you reply to this thread there is a button next to the post reply one to upload a file. Click on that, find the file and click on it. Alex.
The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. Alex.
Did you set a flat depth? The depth the tool will cut into the material will be controlled by the distance between the edges of your text in an...
You are getting a bit confused about words (jargon). In Vectric, when you start a new job you set where the reference point is going to be. You...
In your cam software (what are you using?) you set the origin of your workpiece. If you tell it front/left/bottom (ie where the spoilboard is) you...

As requested, pic of it in situ. [ATTACH] Now I just need to work out a way to hold card and self adhesive vinyl down flat. Alex.
The reason that the Duet prompts you to re-boot after you change the config.g file is that the changes won't take effect unless you re-boot - it...
I wasn't suggesting changing the config.g file - leave that set for cnc. Run a macro after the Duet has booted up to write new configuration...
As the Duet uses G-code for everything (all G and M codes - no $ settings) I can see no reason why you couldn't have the config.g file set up the...
I needed the ability to cut card and self-adhesive vinyl with a knife, so I got one of these - [ATTACH] £5.62 on E-bay with 15 knives. Then I...
You probably need to have a read of the Duet g-code wiki - the section on M452 in particular.(Gcode). I was hoping @Rob Atha would pick up on this...
@Rob Atha may be in a position to help with those questions. Alex.
Yes, I'm sure Solidcam will have a grbl post processor. Alex.
I don't know solidcam, so may not be able to give exact advice, but the post processor you use has to match the language of your controller - what...
What controller do you have. What cam software are you using, and what post processor are you using with it? The error code is telling you that...
Did you ever try it with ONLY the USB lead (no power supply) - long shot, but might rule out faulty power supply. Alex.
