Interesting, I have not had a crisis like this since I retired.
Just how does one go about teaching an employee how to read and write? I am pretty sure that all the folks at Vectric know how to read and write. Those English folks are usually a pretty well educated bunch in my experience.

Re: Is there any hope for Linux users?
One great thing about Vectric software is that it does not require high end hardware to run well. If'n it were me I would just buy a cheap Windows machine so I did not have to keep pleading for things to run on Linux. I worked with a guy years and years ago who made the following profound statementL...

Re: Big Changes Coming
Tomorrow I will be 3D printing a mount for the microscope. I may dig around in my scrap bin and see if I have a chunk of aluminum suitable to build the mount out of that. Speaking of 3D printers. . . . I have been looking at the Bambu Carbon X-1. Looks like one heckuva printer. Got a lot on my plat...

Re: Bottoming out a collet nut
With 4 tools on my old CS40 on the tool changer, managing this was relatively easy, I've now upgraded to a dual-table C42-207 Thermwood with 19 tool changer so now this is actually a real concern as now I can optimize production further and keeping track of all the heights isn't something easily ma...

Re: Bottoming out a collet nut
Some food for thought. Is a software solution really the best way to go? Most metric end mills are made to standard overall lengths. Maybe not accurate to within a gnat's backside, but pretty darn good. Howzabout a mechanical solution? A collet nut that allows a bit to be bottomed out? Then one coul...

Re: How to invert text along a circle
I do it by using a half circle instead of a full circle.
But someone who does a lot of this may have a better way to do it.

Re: UCCNC & Rotary Control
OK, it looks like this issue has been resolved. Until someone else thinks that just because they are installing a rotary axis they should check the box that says "Axis is Rotary". Hopefully they will find this most excellent thread and save themselves a bunch of grief. On the bright side, this finis...

Re: 1/16 Tapered Ball Nose Settings
I am gonna toss in my 2.5 cents here. That drawing of the tool needs to be changed. Marking the diameter of the bit with the "D" is a tad confusing. The software could not care less what the shank of the bit is. Someone should redraw that image with a smaller diameter shank and make it clear what th...

Re: .STL Toolpath Question
Yes, you are missing something. STL files do not include vectors, that is why you have no vectors to select. Simple as that. Are you creating the STL file or downloading it from online? If you are creating the model, then it is possible your modeling software can download the vectors you want. Depen...

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...
