You can take any lines of code you wish from the SB postP and copy them to the Centroid postP. (with gcode thranslation if needed)

My target material is UGX foam board so the material presents no real resistance.

Neither will your "boy parts" when a drill chuck rated for 2 or 3 thousand RPM explodes on it's way 15,000 RPM.

Don't do it!

Reducing the rapid speed settings in your control software will do both.

I have a Powermatic 2x2 CNC in my classroom I am trying to get operational. I inherited this machine from a previous teacher, and as you may know Powermatic has basically no support. As stated above, AXIOM and Powermatic are similarly built machines painted different colors. The AXIOM"s have used v...

Can't say this is the case with this item, but many settings don't take effect until you close the software and restart

Learn something new every day.

Which is exactly what makes it fun!

Thanks, that's basically what I was understanding about it. You have full use of all design use functions of the program, but you can't make it since it won't let you save it to a TAP file. So, the only way you're going to see if you are happy with the final output is to purchase it. I was wonderin...

A point of clarification... No CNC machine is capable of cutting circles. They are only capable of cutting in a straight line from the current point to the next point given in the code. Of course these straight line segments are very short and we humans interpret them as circles. These segments are ...

Yes, but you would need 2 job setups. You used to be able to set it up as a single job, but in an effort to protect us from ourselves, we can no longer use both 3 axis and rotary postP's in the same file.

The reason this is happening is similar to why gravel roads will become washboard. Slack in the Z mechanics or flex in the table, or both will be the cause. The bit is traveling faster than it can with ease, so it pushes up til it breaks thru, then falls down. That said..... I have seen this in the ...

You may be able to read the tool info directly from the file depending on which info SS has chosen to put in the file. Here is a shot of the info header from one I developed back in the day:

Use the 1st line option: Length
