Re: V12 for Mac Silicon, please?
I don't recall intimating that the two were linked because they are not. And I do agree that it's just a different business model.relayerbob wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 4:52 pm
The subscription model has essentially nothing to do with the cross platform apps themselves, that's just a business model that these companies have chosen

Re: V12 for Mac Silicon, please?
Thanks, Edward, for chiming in from "the horse's mouth". I truly appreciate that there is an end goal to be supportive of being more OS independent, even if the ultimate time frame is long term.

Re: V12 for Mac Silicon, please?
I always find it interesting that we regularly see Mac users wanting Windows apps ported over to Apple equipment. Rarely do I see the opposite. Not sure what Apple does these days, but back in the day when I was developing, Arrogant Apple made it clear that no apps would run on their equipment unle...

Re: V12 for Mac Silicon, please?
But Vectric apps are not the only ones that Mac'ers have asked for, eventually all Microsoft apps went to browser based "subscription" offerings, as did Adobe, and a few other cad/cam solutions (that get removed when mentioned on this platform). All of these can only be accessed by subscription. Th...

Re: V12 for Mac Silicon, please?
Bootcamp does not exist on Apple Silicon Macs. Bootcamp relied upon the Intel architecture of the previous generations of Macs. Currently, the only way to run Windows on MacOS with Apple Silicon is via virtualization, such as with Parallels and the ARM version of Windows. (which is now thankfully su...

Re: Dash collection for a rotary indexer
Dust/chip collection from any form of lathe, including the ornamental indexer that is mounted on a CNC machine is a tough row to hoe. So in most cases, a two stage collector with a floor sweep plus a broom is pretty much what ends up being the solution. (never use a floor sweep with a single stage c...

Re: Vectric products for OSX and Linux?
VCarve 9.519 runs just fine on a mac using a VirtualBox Windows XP VM and that's good enough for me. V11, V10 also runs great on MacOS in a Windows VM in Parallels. Win10 is more stable for me than Win11 for this particular purpose. I suspect the same technique can be used for folks who favor Linux...

Re: STL Handling in Aspire vs Fusion
I'm with Ted on this. Different applications do things different ways...pick the one you prefer for sure. I'd still cut a dimensional sign like that as a set of 2D toolpaths regardless of the software used to create the vectors because that insures that the edges stay crisp -- that's something that ...

Re: Aspire Box Gadget
Along the lines of what 'Thinker mentioned, these interlocking CNC cut box setups are best for plywood constructions as there is no weak grain pattern. There are also voids due to the dogbone/relief cuts in the corners.

Re: PVC for spoil board
Sounds like a good plan, Leo. Perhaps some blocking material clamped down will help curtail the sliding on the slicker surface. So many different ways to "calm the beast"!!

Re: PVC for spoil board
Leo, the oak will certainly be durable because it's harder than MDF, but like any "spoil" surface, it's still going to get eaten away by your tooling when said tooling gets below the workpiece which is pretty inevitable. So you'll likely still need to resurface it at about the same rate as any other...

Re: PVC for spoil board
What "brand" the PVC sheet is will be material to how much it expands and contracts, but yes, that's more in length and width than thickness. It's the nature of the product. A close friend and general contractor abandoned one brand of PVC product because of the call-backs when it contracted and expa...

Re: PVC for spoil board
While PVC may not have issues with moisture, it's not stable dimensionally with temperature changes. That's one reason why folks opt for phenolic as an alternative to MDF for a machine bed . But you still need to use some something disposable for your actual spoilboard. PVC would be uber expensive f...
