Sorry Eric, I just reread my post. What I meant to say is that you click on the "XYZ0" button to reset the coordinates to 0,0,0. The "Set" button is if you want to manually enter a numerical value for X, Y or Z.

Eric, If I understand your question correctly, you want to manually jog the router to what you defined as 0,0,0 in VCarve and then tell the Control Panel software that the present position of the router is the 0,0,0 point. The way you do that is by clicking the "Set" button on the Control Panel afte...

You're welcome gtrsnook. I'm curious to hear if anyone else who downloaded my touchplate holder successfully printed it.

Season's Greetings! In keeping with the season, I'd like to offer the forum a 3D file I created (no copyright issues here) of a holder for the touchplate.

Tim,
You can buy a replacement cable online through the NWA website. It costs $16 plus shipping.

I'm with monitoringpost (Craig) on this. I thought this thing was nailed down and I could go back to cutting wood (which is the purpose of this after all - not helping the manufacturer debug his software). Now I find out that the latest latest version has a (new?) bug that causes the bit to cut 0.02...

OK, Joe, I tried V2.1 Build 15 and it looks like it solved the runaway "Bat out of Hell" problem. Congrats. The only issue I see now is that it is still saving the last Virtual readings in mm instead of inches even when inches are set in Preferences.

Where is the link to V2.1 Build 15
