Zeeway: I am sending you a PM since I do not want to accidently start a "machine discussion" in the Gallery forum.

This is strictly my OPINION. I know zippity doo dah about EMC other than it runs on a version of Linux. That said, if your checkbook allows, I would highly recommend Mach3 for the following reasons: You will be dealing with one operating system across the board. If you want to install Windows apps o...

Found a simple bitmap this morning, traced some vectors over it and then went to work modeling it. Here are the results: SailBoat.jpg This is part of a larger project I am working on. But once I had the model, I decided to try a bit of experimenting. One of the "problems" with carving is that the ca...

Ok, so you want to see the machine, sheesh. There is a build log on the CNCZone at: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/diy-cnc_router_table_machines/127291-fairly_standard_8020_build_new.html It is a pretty typical 8020 machine. It uses rack and pinion drives, Gecko 540, and was pretty easy to build. htt...

Very nice work!

I personally enjoy seeing original modeling and ideas. It takes a lot of effort.

It has been a while since I posted to the forum. Been busy with all sorts of things, including building a new machine. For the past few days I have been tuning it up. Finally this morning it was time to actually give it a "real world" test run. So I dug out a model I had created in Aspire about 2 1/...

That is FANTASTIC work! On a scale of 1-10 it is an 11. Thanks for posting it, I really enjoy seeing original work.

That looks really good! Too many of us get hung up on this "wood grain" stuff. Most of the really great antique carvings were painted, let's face it, life is in technicolor, not shades of wood grain. Great work.

WOW

Look! The Emperor is Naked! :D I just love these clever marketing ploys. It had all the usual elements: We want to help. The offer of something for free. The limit (only 5 will be chosen) Another limit, you can't chose sale items if you win. I really enjoyed the response. WE MISUNDERSTOOD! Doesn't l...

So, let's see, you want to sell your models to me? Then I should spend a bunch of time doing your marketing for you. Then you will pay me back in model money? Hmmmm, lemme think about this....ok, I thought for all of 2 seconds. Nope. By the way, it sounds more like you are trying to help yourself se...

Chostet: Yep, it is more difficult than it appears. It is like opening up a can of vicious worms with teeth that grow bigger by the day. I speak from experience, having written this type of software for about 25 years. Once the can is opened, Team Vectric could almost hire a person to do nothing but...

Oh yea, Snagit is just great, if you want to spend almost $50. To find things using the search in Start, just type a few more characters, you might need to actually type SNIP, if you have quite a few things that begin with SN. The search function narrows as it gets more information. Me, I like the S...

Looks like the 2nd one is a small part on a large piece thereby lowering the resolution dramatically or the modelling resolution itself has been set very low. There is a nugget of information in what Adrian said above. If you are putting that model on a much larger sized WORKPIECE then you are goin...

Windows 7 and I believe Vista both come with a tool known as the Snipping Tool. It is WAY cool and will do exactly what you want, more. It can copy to the clipboard, or save to a couple of different file formats. Don't ask me where they hide it though, I found it and put it on my desktop. Use it all...
