Vectric Customer

Thanks both for the quick replies.

I am thinking of purchasing a Sainsmart Genmitsu PROVerXL 4030 CNC Router.
I have Vectric VCarve Desktop.
Looking through the list of Post Processors I cant find any reference to Sainsmart products.

Can anyone suggest what Post Processor I could use with the 4030 please.

Thanks - Martin.

Adrian, Thanks for the quick reply. I am using the Desktop version so I guess that is why I cant get the HTML file. Bit disappointing as I would have expected this feature to be available in all versions of the software. Certainly not worth the £240 odd cost to upgrade to Pro as I don't need any oth...

In the recent newsletter Beki's top tip is to print the job setup form to get an HTML document containing the material setup and toolpaths, but I cannot see how to do this. I click on the job setup form as it says in the newsletter but don't see any way of generating the HTML form so that I can prin...

Been looking into Post Processor files. Specifically the "Stepcraft_UCCNC_Arcs_mm.pp" file, as I have a Stepcraft machine. The contents of this file are below - +================================================ + + Stepcraft (UCCNC Controller) + Vectric machine output configuration file + +=========...

Got round to testing this and it works.
The spindle turns on with the first M03 in the .txt file and then turns off with the M30 which is on the last but one line.

So all solved.

@Adrian, Thanks for the quick reply. Will take a look at the guide as you suggest. I have done some further searching through a .txt file from a project that has two simple toolpaths. In the file is an M06 then the tool id, then an M03 , then the first toolpath name, then then it runs the toolpath. ...

I have a Stepcraft D420 machine with the UCCNC controller. I have recently bought a relay to turn the spindle power on/off under control of the Stepcraft machine. As I understand it GCode command M03 should turn the spindle on clockwise and command M05 should turn it off again. I have checked the .t...

Adrian, I have the Desktop version, explains why I cant find the job summary, no gear icon next to the save toolpaths icon. Maybe Vectric would consider adding my suggestion as an extra tab at the bottom of the drawing page next to the Drawing and Layers tabs. If it opened a new page (like the layer...

Adrian,
Thanks for the quick and comprehensive reply.

Sounds like the job summary sheet is what I am looking for, but so far I have not found it.
Can you direct me as to how I access it (I have looked at all the menu options, program icons and also combed through the help files but no luck).

Martin.

New user here, just getting the hang of Cut2D with a Stepcraft D420. On the Drawing view, at the bottom of the left hand side there is a summary of the job dimensions. I would find it useful if there was also a summary of each toolpath in the project, showing the tool used and the cut depth. At the ...
