Re: long lengths

Hmmmmm. hi, i had a quick look on tiling, and from what i saw i then have to join the pieces back together once finished? i cannot cut them down, maybe i misunderstood. i will have another read! thank you "Quick L...

Re: Cutting steel on my radial axis
Kind of the same idea that is used on inexpensive vises. It works!

Re: Is there any hope for Linux users?
Reflecting upon the title of this thread "Is there any hope for Linux users?"
After considerable deliberation I have come to the conclusion that there is no hope for them in the foreseeable future.

Re: cutting order
One thing I might add to Adze's suggestion? Group the selection so you do not have to do it over if you want to alter something else.

Re: If a senior Vectric employee scans this fourm, please read.
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...
