Re: UCCNC & Rotary Control

Hello Ted,

I don't think that we have a standard UCCNC rotary post processor, could you please post up the post processor that you are using so that we can check it out? We should be able to let you know whether it should be working.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Mark.

Re: terms used in post processors

Hello lappa. Your forum profile mentions that you are running a Grbl based machine tool. If this is the machine that you are looking for a post processor for, the standard Grbl mm and Grbl inch post processors are probably the ones best suited for your machine tool. Those post processors do contain ...

Re: Crude segments to circles how to make one entity and smooth?

Hello, Instead of importing a DXF file, it might be better to import the .SKP file directly into VCarve. On the SketchUp import form, under the "Create Circles / Arcs" section, check the "Create circles for polygons" option, VCarve should replace the straight line approximations with circles constru...

Re: Arbitrary circles on Snapmaker

I have been using the trial version of Vcarve and the post processor embedded in the software and I am getting the circles as well. The only file I can actually save the tool path or Gcode for is the Avalon sample file. I like the program and how it works but can't afford to spend $500 CAD to see i...

Re: Inside Corner Radius Mis-Match

Hello, Are you seeing the same result within the 3D toolpath preview window? As Adrian has mentioned, if you are seeing arbitrarily sized radii in the corners your problem is most likely due to the constant velocity settings of Mach4. The following document may help. The document was written for Mac...

Re: router feed pausing at corners

Hello JP. There are no G4 dwell commands within the code, so there is nothing in the code that is telling the machine to pause at the corners. As Martin mentioned, it might be best to have a chat with your machine tool supplier and ask if anything can be done to speed up execution of the code. Possi...

Re: Group object loose layer assignment

Hello, =the layer color assignment goes away until you ungroup them. The layer color assignment does not change as such, when you group a number of vectors, those vectors are moved to the layer that is the active layer at the time that you create the group. For as long as the group exists, the vecto...

Re: 2 Toolpaths - Inside and Outside

Steven is quite right, I should probably have closed the vector.
Please find the attached.

I hope that this helps.

Re: 2 Toolpaths - Inside and Outside

Hello FoothillFurniture,

The Vector validator is your friend.
If you run this, you will see that your outer vector overlaps itself.
If you rectify the problem with the vector, the toolpath should work as you expect.

I hope that this helps.

Cheers,

Mark.
