Vectric Customer

Wow !, As always you are ALL just so helpful.
I can now make progress ( I hope)

All the Vectric Projects etc are set in Imperial measurements. Virtually all my cutters are Metric. If possible I want to avoid having 2 set of cutters (Metric and Imperial.) Question:- Can I just use the nearest Metric equivelant cutter. Or have I got to dig into the piggy bank, and purchase more ?...

Thank you both...My goodness everyone is SO helpful.
I was, and will continue to do as Martin suggests.

Adrian I have asked a number of questions in the past several months, and you are always there with a respions...Thank you.
Best wishes

The set up for sutting the Corian shows material as being .48 (it varies from sgheet to sheet !!0 They show Z as being inon the base and not on the top. This then creates provblems on tool changing. I can do it, but i...

I use a GX -6060 CNC I have had the machine for a little over a year, and have had no problems until now. It appears that the X and Y axis are both working fine. But the Z axis has gone mad. If I set it up so that everything is set up that zero is the bottom left corner. It starts correctly, but wit...

I am trying to engrave a nameplate in brass to put on a Rockinghorse comemerating it as a gift from a Grandmother to her Granddaughter for her Christening. The Finished item will be 70 x 50 (mm) x 3mm thick I have tried a couple of test pieces, but nothing appears to look like a "Professional Job" W...

I really do thank you ALL for your suggestions. My Z setting were correct in both Aspire, and in Mach ( I always zero Z using a cigarette paper. It seems my main problem was confusing seconds and minutes. Having sorted that out all sems to be working fine. No doubt I will be back with some future pr...

Yes you are all correct. I have now adjusted the speed to 500 per minute. Is that about right . I have not yet tested it. If not could someone give me a rate per minute. I am cutting either Acrylic or timber. mostklty Acrylic Z is definitely set at the top (Left hand) corner. Adrian not sure what yo...

I am new to Vectric, having moved from another well knoen Programme ( I gather I cannot mention names) I make Clocks, I have tried to copy the coded from the previous programme into Aspire, but am getting VERY odd results. For example: I am cutting arms for the Skeleton movement. This requires (a) a...

I use Mach 3, and on occasions my CNC will just stop/freeze. I am told that is is a problem that Mach 3 does not like othe Electric motors being used with it. I have a Henry, that I use to collect my cuttings. Most of the time it works just fine, BUT if I am going a lengthy job it is likely just to ...
