Re: Squaring up Axis

I recently moved my machine and have been trying to figure out a way to square it up. While I have read your post I am not able to envision what is being done. Would you have some pictures that would show what you are doing?

Thanks,

CarveOne,

Re: Creating a 3D Model

Thanks for the help. I am still learning what Aspire can do. I was able to figure out how to create it in AutoCAD. Now to watch some of the videos on 2 sided machining, at least I think I saw one on it.
