    HSD spindle fan connection

    Is the HSD spindle fan connected separately to the controller and not through a VFD? If so, is the fan running constantly as the controller is turned on?

    Other post processors

    I have PartWorks 3.5 and I need to be able to use a different Post Processor than SBP. Is there a way to install different PPs without having to pay $500 to upgrade to Vcarve pro?

    I zeroed to the table with the plate. After it was done, the bit was as usual just a little over the plate, just enough to pull it out, so about 0.121"/0.122" above the table. The position window...

    Z - zeroing problem

    When I zero Z, it displays 1" in the position window, when it is done touching the zeroing plate. How do I change the setting, so I get an actual 0"?
