You might want to try E bay..There are alot of old stock new stuff and there is several manufactures on there Just be picky as there is tons of them..If I see something that looks interesting, I just put it into my "watch list" to look at later..then keep looking through the main search results You ...

As you can see with this drawing...A start depth of .1 drops the red male piece in by .1 And then the .2 flat depth is above the top surface of the white female piece... So your only getting a .1 of contact on the angle edges.. And cutting a female pocket of .3 leaves a gap of .2 inches..so your was...

I did those numbers of yours and the male piece only dropped into the female piece by .1 Those numbers of yours work but there is only .1 inch of area that the male and female touch each other on the angled edge leaving a .2 open pocket between the 2 pieces When I did my numbers..it definitely went ...

Hi All!! I have been studying the inlay technique trying to wrap my pee brain around how it all works.. What I have been trying to do is this...0.300 for the pocket female piece...Have the male piece drop into the pocket, .250 deep..leaving a .050 at the bottom for the extra glue to be.. I would put...

at what line is it stopping at??

also if you are using the standard mach mill setup..down on the bottom left of the program run screen is a window that has "status"-------------- (the dashes represent a window)..when Mach freezes,does that window say anything??

Hi Tony..sorry for such a delay in responding..vacation time for me ,just got back.. To be honest,I do not know what I need in regards to G code or how to run a plasma machine..I have been reading as much as I can on cnczone on this subject..I can draw the parts in autocad and import them to vcarve ...

Hi Tony..thanks for the reply..I use the profile toolpath alot for the type of cnc work that I do..drawing model airplanes in autocad and then cutting out the parts using profile toolpath to cut them all out..I am building another table for plasma cutting and I just thought that this profile feature...

I just thought that with the profile toolpath that you are 90 percent of the way there towards completion of a g code to run..maybe this might be something to add to the next version of v carve to make it even more versatile of a program..I have the trial of other software already loaded..looking it...

Could this be done using the profile toolpath?? I know that using a plasma cutter is a bit more complex in regards to torch height,good arc and the like..I use mach 3 and it has the tools to run a plasma,but the g code to turn the torch on and off..that is were i stumble..the height of the torch wou...

Just use a smaller diameter bit or just trick the program and tell it that it is a .247 diameter bit..just input .247 for the size of the bit under the specs of the bit.. After looking at the crv,I see that you did that already..also with the bit being sized at the .240 that you put in you will get ...

All right then..Thank you Brian..I have been using the profile tool path to cut out parts for model airplanes and doll houses and the .010 that I have set for the line width would not effect this type of cutting much if it did see the 010 width..I was concern if it did see it for more precise cuttin...

Hi everyone..If I draw a part in autocad and want VCP to cut it using the profile tool path function with the cutting bit set to the outside of the line..If the line was draw with a width in autocad... .010 will VCP see this width and make the part the wrong size?? do i need to set the line width in...

My Aunt makes minature doll houses and I thought I would try to make a kitchen sink and counter top in about 1/12th scale for her The sink was the hard part..first I made the design in Autocad 2000..then set up the 2 sided cut in Cut3d...Roughed with a 1/4 endmill and finished with a 1/8 ball The co...

I used a .050 end mill at 15 inch feed rate and about a 20% step over..It took about 15 minutes on each side...
