Re: Easy Spiral Cut
Jim, Looks good. Wish I could test; too cold. Thanks for your efforts. Andy Thanks, I think it is a cool gadget, I like the G-Code reference page I added in the Header and Footer menus. I did notice that; nice... Some of the GCODE you have on line 1 are not referenced on that page (e.g, G49 G90 G17...

Re: New Top
That t-track looks different. What brand is it?
Kinda looks like extruded 8020 or something like that.
Thanks,
Andy

Re: *** New *** Easy Box Maker Gadget *** New ***
Looks good. I did notice something missing (No. Flutes). It wasn't there in V1.5 either. Seems like low impact to getting results. Thanks for the update.

Re: *** New *** Easy Box Maker Gadget *** New ***
Happy to see results whether good or bad! Seeing Results helps us in providing better gadget performance. The Milling Defaults are a starting point which should be fairly close to a usable fit for the box being created. The Gadget User can adjust any of these settings as necessary for the creation ...

Re: *** New *** Easy Box Maker Gadget *** New ***
Here is some pics of my first box. The only changes I made were to material size. Left all of the default tolerances for fingers and dados as installed to get a baseline what I should do next. Tolerances need to be adjusted as they are too tight for my CNC. This worked well. Thanks.

All of my spindle speeds (gadget v1.5) are 0 rpm. I checked my DB they are my preferred speeds.

Re: *** New *** Easy Box Maker Gadget *** New ***
This look great! In the milling defaults section there are a number of tolerances for clearances etc. There isn't one for cut depth tolerance. correct? If so, my default zero position is the machine bed. So, I don't really need to the additional 20 thou depth added and would like to adjust that. Fut...

Re: Easy Tray Maker Gadget
Jim, See the error below. This happened when I used a dado clearing bit the same size as the dado bit (in error). When I tried to "X" out the clearing bit I get this error. However, I can edit the dado clearing bit tand he gadget creates the tool paths as expected. EasyTrayError.png Thanks, Andy

Re: Experience in Aluminum
https://www.nyccnc.com/super-glue-fixturing/ is a good primer for using super glue. I adapted to my setup since I didn't have a vice to start.
