Thanks Steven. Always interested in information like that.

This all got me thinking.
Went to the shed and started up the router to check my settings.
Lo and behold I did not have that "Axis is rotary" checked.
That will certainly add to the list of reasons I did not see the issue.
Amazing. Just amazing. Another person with a non rotary rotary axis.

Re: UCCNC & Rotary Control

I must confess it surprises me that someone with your experience would just follow some keyboard expert. :) Don't remember when vectric included G93 ability but I think it would be after version 4 Mach3 had its own issues with rotary axis speeds too. I remember working with Art Fennerty to sort out...

Re: Forum Admins and Forum Top Responders

So there are folks on this forum that get discounts from Vectric for helping other out? Hmmmm ... Not sure about whether the top responders get anything. But back in the day, when I was beta testing for them, they were kind enough to upgrade the testers software. And there were a lot of testers, no...

Re: Forum Admins and Forum Top Responders

Hey Ted, as a revered Vectric Wizard, can you teach me how to avoid jumping to conclusions without analyzing the evidence? :lol: You betchya. I am not so sure about that "revered" stuff though. . . . . . this "wizard" just spent 2.5 days and $400 because some nitwit programmer (not a vectric person...

Re: UCCNC & Rotary Control

..... So it is possible that I have simply not been aware of this problem. For almost all my machining, the tool runs along the axis with just a small amount of rotation each pass. Vcarving on a cylinder is maybe the only time when the rotary velocity is even noticeable. I will be watching with int...

Re: UCCNC & Rotary Control

Isn't this just what it states in the Uccnc help file. Leave it unticked if wanting to use a controlled feedrate.. "Rotary axis: When this option is set then the axis is not calculated into the feedrate of the movement vector, but only the linear axis are calculated for the feedrate. The rotary axe...

Re: Collette Nut

I appreciate the feedback. Didn't take it as dissing. Wish I could afford a better machine but it does pretty much what I need it to do. Thanks again. Well, that is a pretty decent machine. I just rebuilt my old machine, essentially an Avid. I built it over ten years ago from CNCRouterParts items (...

Re: Considering Vcarve

For Solidworks you can extract the necessary 2D curves (vectors in Vectric parlance) by making a plan view drawing (.SLDDRW)—use an empty template, not one with information boxes, etc. Then export the result as a DWG file. Beware though that I have found that even if you tell Soldiworks to keep clo...

Re: UCCNC & Rotary Control

HUGE UPDATE !!!! Once again, the Vectric Team rides to the rescue! I received a PM from one of the Vectric staff. In that private message he referred me to a thread over on the UCCNC forum (cncdrive). He said he PM'd cause he was not sure what he found would work. Sooo, I am going to reveal his ide...

Re: UCCNC & Rotary Control

Just thinking out loud and wondering about your steps/unit settings of 33.3333 Assuming a 1.8 degree full step angle and 1:10 reduction, the axis should rotate 0.18 degrees per step. That is 5.55555 steps per degree and means your stepper drive is set up for 6 microsteps/full step. Somewhat unusual...

Re: Longing for the multi-drill head

I'm really glad that the 12th version is out. Hopefully, there has been some development for horizontal and vertical multi-drill units, which are essential for furniture manufacturers like us using industrial CNC machines. It should be a necessity for Vcarve , which is tailor-made for woodworking. ...

Re: Dragon Chess Board

REALLY nice!

I would not "gift" that to anyone. Unless I had a really good friend who played a lot of chess.

Nope, I would look around for a charity that you like who does auctions. Donate it to them. Just my thoughts.
