Thanks guys, I will check your suggestions. I don’t think I’ll ever learn everything in this program. It’s like drinking water from a fire hydrant!

To verify whether the harder wood is the problem: just do a test run in plain MDF.

Fot the G-codes, here's a good list:

Assuming it's the standard post processor shipped with the software there's nothing in there that would be doing that on it's own.

Re: Mach3 problem with toolpath

I use Mach 3 as well. I also post out several toolpaths into one file. I sometimes set different RPM for the toolpaths I have never had the problem that you describe. Even different RPM come across as expected. I don't think the issue is in Vectric. Possibly in Mach3 settings but I don't know where ...

Re: photo converstion

I have Aspire.

Short answer is - no

Long answer is hmmmm - yeah - sorta
It's a lot of work
There are tutorials that you can watch

I suppose there are some work arounds - but I don't know about them.

Mike Mezalik has some tutorials

I would not buy it for the reason you are asking about.

Re: Unable to get clean V Carved Text

That cutter does not look like a cutter that would do a good of carving text.

Has that cutter cut text sucessfully on other jobs?

I am not advocating Tools Today or Amana, but this bit or something similar would be a better choice.

Re: 2.5 model on 1.5” material endmill recommendations

adze - I agree with you. I have done it myself, but I would prefer a long flute length (CEL) As long as the chips have somewhere to evacuate the gullets there should not be a problem. Most often there is evacuation beside the cutter when cutting on the perifery or behind the cutter when cutting a sl...

Re: Amana 46054 Endmill Feed Rate

Sure, that works. Speeds and Feeds are simple Speeds and Feeds are complicated If I say yes that is good and you use that to plunge 1/2 deep into something really hard and you snap the cutter, then my acknowledgement is bad. If I say yes that is good and you use that to plunge 1/8 deep into somethin...
