    Almost 3 years ago I purchased my 3xxl and one of my first projects was your flag. I recently ordered a Shop Sabre that hasn’t been finished building. Thank you brotha for what you do fue all the new guys. Maybe one day I’ll build enough courage to make some helpful videos for the upcoming machinists

    Enjoying your videos. Using a Carbide machine and software myself also, so I find a lot of tips very helpful.
    One "frustration" I've had with v carving using CC and CM is that often a carve seems to finish the carve, then move back through the carve a second and even third time with no real perceptible carving going on. Often, the machine will make numerous plunges in one spot as if it is "nibbling" a very tiny area, but I can't really see any changes in depth or motion between each plunge. Any thoughts?

    • @ChrisPowellFSD
      @ChrisPowellFSD  2 роки тому

      Check your vector for excess nodes. That will cause exactly what you’re talking about.

    Hey Chris. I'm newbie with cnc. I've learned so much from your videos. My biggest problem is warp pieces. I tried edge glued panels and 1 bys. I zero where I'm gonna carve and zero at low point. I've ruined so many projects cause of the not carving or carving to deep in some area then others. I watched this video and you mention surfacing waste board. I couldn't find that video you had made on how to? Ty for your videos

      Try adjusting your depth per pass. Sometimes, depending on the grain, a more or less aggressive cut will help.

    A. I TRIED TO ROUTE MY FIRST BIG SIGN in my "DIY" machine AND EVERYTHING WENT WRONG, THE machine moves when the bit touches the material, when moved to one side, the material moved, the bit is a cheap V bit 90 degrees most used for hand router, now I know what I don´t have to do. Thanks, I will continue suffering with it.
