Hi @Colin Hart, check your retract heights - are you hitting the Z axis limit switch as your machine moves into position? This seems to be what...
Hi @Colin Hart, I ran your G code on Mach 4 simulator and it appeared to behave as expected - Mach 4 didn't handle arcs very neatly and eventually...
Compared to, say, purpleheart, oak is not particularly hard on cutters. I can't comment on HSS cutters value for money - haven't seen any on sale...
Also profile of cutting edge is different for various materials - what works best in a hard material is unlikely to work well in a soft one -...
Hmmm... You're paying £14.75 for a bit capable of machining aluminium or brass. I'm paying £1.78 for a bit that will be fine cutting plywood....
I will be interested to see where you set your stock origin - your Z starts rather high and goes down to -6. Alex.
I'll have a look at that tomorrow. I have a Fusion account and I'll post details tomorrow also - if I can't solve your problem then I might learn...
It was Aberfeldy 12 year old. Alex
PS if you are lucky @sharmstr (being 7ish hours behind us) may have solved your problem before I wake up (midday usually) Alex :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:
Post your G code and your Fusion file - its a bit late and I have just finished the bottle of single malt my sons bought me for Christmas (mean...
Is the Z axis still alive (can you jog it?) Alex.
Yep, I am not familiar with V-carve, but looking at your two pictures the toolpath is centred on the outline of your parts. Alex.
Many thanks @sharmstr I was indeed deluded about the meaning of absolute co-ordinates - I suspect the common error of confusing WCS and machine...
I'm using "Silverline" router bits from Toolstation - they are definitely at the "value" end of the market. Screwfix don't do anything as cheap -...
Hi @Colin Hart, I've been using the Oozenest Fusion 360 post processor for a few weeks now with no problems albeit with only one toolpath at a...
PS did you solve your guitar problems? I am certainly not the person to pontificate about G code, knowing very little about it, but I thought your...
Thanks @sharmstr, I was about to suggest that, but went off to experiment with my machine. @Colin Hart - @hobdayd has found a solution in the duet...
Very true @Colin Hart, your second screen shot - in the machine control section - is where it is in mine. If you are concerned you could try...
Hi guys, - a couple of points: It's not a good idea to solder wires to crimp connectors (or to "tin" wires in screw connectors) - the wire/solder...
Hi @G-Wizard, I suggest gently pulling on the stepper motor and limit switch wires at the connectors before attaching them to anything. At the...
