Re: Older Version Of Vectric Vcarve Desktop
You should be able to import the tool database from C:\ProgramData\Vectric\VCarve Desktop\V11.0\ToolDatabase (I'm assuming that is the name of the directory for VCarve Desktop). I have VCarve Pro so the subdirectory name is "VCarve Pro". Otherwise: Look in the C:\ProgramData\Vectric\VCarve Desktop\V...

Re: "Sanding" finished carvings
I bought the same type that you got off amazon. Because I needed something quickly for a job and my other mops were worn out. They work OK. A bit stiff and wear out quickly. My favorite mops are from Klingspor. They sell mandrels and cut sheets in a kit. After that you can buy replacement cut sheets...

Re: 2hp watercooled Spindle
Pull the return hose out of the bucket and put it in another bucket. Start the pump. If it spews' water with some force its working and flowing through the spindle. The spindle will get pretty hot quickly without the water flowing through it. I don't have shark but I replace the water and antifreeze...

Re: Celtic design coasters
Drawbacks of ipe: here . Kills thickness planer and jointer knives in only a few passes. Yep. It’s hard on tools but cuts beautifully. You don’t want to breath the dust because as many African hardwoods it absorbs silica from the water moving through the sand. That’s why it’s almost waterproof. I w...

Celtic design coasters
Three Celtic symbols and a Bristol Bear for my son in law. Made from IPE. Great wood to make coasters out of. Cuts like metal not much touch up. Almost waterproof. Coated with paste wax on top.

Re: 4th axis rotation
Ok, i have a simple question and hopefully a simple answer. Why is it so difficult to find the G or M codes to edit my .tap file to repeat a toolpath? Ive searched message boards, forums, etc etc for the proper gcodes to no avail. I've run test cuts using M99, 98 and 97 commands to no avail. I want...

Re: 4th axis rotation
no So, if the ending point of one toolpath is not in the same angular orientation as the start of that toolpath then executing: "[N]G91" "[N]A90" "[N]G90" will not guarantee that the start of the next toolpath is 90 degrees to the start of the previous toolpath? Would the post processor then need t...

Re: 4th axis rotation
How would the stock angle change? On my machine it stays perpendicular with every rotation. If you were working with square stock the first position would need to be perpendicular to the bit. I do this all the time. I use a magnetic level to assure the bit is perpendicular to the stock if it is squa...
