v 11
Just got V11, Any way to get it to open previous jobs? Also, texture tool path doesn't show anything about various textures.

V Carve 10 + does not have wrapped job set up
Hi, In yesterdays effort to do a wrapped name on a pen blank, V Carve 10 did not have that feature in the gadgets. Had to revert back to VC9. Any way I can get that to 10 ? Norm

Re: rotary work
The problem was the direction tab for the A axis. The machine was moved a couple times and some how that setting got changed.
Thanks every one for all the hints and tips. I'm 78 and still learning. Or should I say, re-learning.

Re: rotary work
You are absolutely correct ! Now that has been resolved, another wrinkle has popped up. The job is machining as a mirror image.

rotary work
Hi Guys and Gals, I haven't done rotary work on my machine for a few years. So now I'm missing some detail as to how that works with Mach 3. I've made sure I was using G code arc inch and I have input the A radius value on the machine. I can't get the A (rotary) part to work, the machine still wants...

Re: Dome creating giant slash
I have had that issue. The fix was to ground the spindle body to the z axis. That machine was mostly wood construction. I have since built a new machine all out of metal and found I had to ground it also. Norm

Re: latest fluting work
Hi Guy's, Here are some hints as to how I come up with these designs. After array a single line, curved or otherwise, cut into quarters, delete all but 1 quadrant and flip until all quadrants are full. Sometimes I join connecting lines sometimes not. You'll find that in choosing all vectors, the flu...

Yes you can. Bar top epoxy makes it level.

Re: Feed Rate
when cutting wood, I will change the feed values in Mach 3 and play with spindle rpm to find the best cutting for that particular piece of wood. Unlike something like Corian which has a consistent density, wood varies all over, with the grain, against the grain, a knot area. A few inches per minute ...

counter weight for spindle
Hi Guys and Gals: I built a new machine just because I wanted to, all metal structure this time. The spindle weighs in at 15 plus pounds plus the mounting plate and slides for the z drive. I found a gas strut to be the best bet to unload the z drive from all that weight. Now it doesn't have to work ...

Re: Need help engraving on aluminum sheet
When machining aluminum, lubrication is key. also, the allow used can mean success or failure. 6061 aluminum machines nice.
