Sorry for the poor explanation. Maybe this will help.

Take a 6"x6" square of 3/4" MDF and route a 4x4" square out of the center.

Make a drum by fixing a membrane over the top.

Place the...

Outstanding!

I need to cut a hundred or so 7"x24"x3/4" red cedar deck railing parts.
My vacuum table was not designed with mechanical clamping in mind - probably something I would think about in the next...

Wow - great design and execution. I will remember the use of vcarve and inlay - thanks!

Darryl,
Use vector shapes to define your cutting area.
In you case offset the outside and inside by 1/2 the cutter diameter. Select these shapes when you create your toolpath and aspire will only...

Real nice Tim - great idea and great finishing job -

Glen,
I have on rare occasion heard a rattle sound and have always took it to mean that I was pushing the machine too fast and slowed down the feed rate. I typically run xy between 2-4 ips and z...

Glen,
I have a PRS standard and have never seen anything like what you are posting on the vectric site.
Looks to me like when the corner is cut the z axis is not moving up fast enough to keep...

Todd,
I have been reasonably successful at cutting small maple pieces (4"x6", 6"x6") using a recess cut into the spoil board that matches the maple blank. You can get extra pull by sealing all but...

How about setting the plunge rate to .003"/sec and drilling from 0.49" to 0.50"?

Interesting - what a great application for a bot.
Thanks for posting!

Terry

Nice road trip. Congratulations!

Well - fwiw I run all my dust collection grounding by wrapping it around the pipe as Zeke did. My thinking is to keep the same ground potential at both ends.
Terry

The above comments are both good.
It looks like you have done a exemplary job of grounding (and documenting it). Your feed rates are slow enough that you should not be overdriving the motors. My...

Thanks for the complements!

Jack - You are correct, it is an inlay in an inlay but no separate toolpath - there was some air cutting in the letter toolpath where there was no needle...

I don't consider myself a sign maker but a couple were needed. My first use of the aspire inlay feature and it was very smooth. Wooden Needle sign is maple with a mahogany needle. Tree house sign is...

Zeke,
I don't have any magic to check for proper ground. A visual inspection should be good enough. Be sure you have metal to metal connections. As Sean says driving the motors too fast is...

What a great idea. It will be a valuable keepsake.
Beautiful work too!

Zeke,
You start by saying that z-zero is changing and continue by indicating that x and y change as well.
I assume that you mean that when you "jog home" you are not returning to the expected...

Wow - inspiring!
Thanks for letting us look.

Terry

Thanks for the complements Rudy! It was a pleasure for me too and I hope we get to work together again.

Terry

Show off you did! Thanks for sharing. I have done a couple of inlays too and was also impressed as to how smoothly it went.

Well done indeed!

You have email Matthew.

Gary -
Yes, I believe you are correct - my mistake.
