Re: Feeds and Speeds
I recommend trying the software from CNC Cookbook. You can try it for free, and Bob will offer help as you learn to use it. The tutorials are very helpful. You first set up the software to use the capabilities of your CNC, including the minimum and maximum speeds, and the power of your spindle. The ...

Re: Rolling Pin with writing on it
I just began using this forum. That is my excuse for sending this hint so long after your post. On the pendant, select "4th Axis Mode", choose the text box in the upper right-hand corner to see the numerical keypad, then enter 3 for Lathe B. Mark a test piece of material with a pencil mark to indica...

Re: Extreme laser woes
Photo VCarve is not made to use a laser. If you can convert the photo to a bitmap file, you may be able to get a reasonable image with your laser attachment. Just use VCarve or Aspire and keep the details to a minimum.

Re: Beta CNC Control Panel V 3.0
For those wanting to add the 4th axis to the HD4, the A-Axis boxes do not appear on the Control Panel V3.0.

Re: HD4 going rouge on 3d Finish
You might try using a higher setting on the Noise Filter when tracing imported files. This will help eliminate stray vectors (dots or lines) that may not be easily visible on your computer screen. If you use a flash drive that is too large--more than 16 GB--the pendant may not be able to read it cor...

Re: Extreme laser woes
I could not get the laser to fire in the test mode nor when running a laser tap file. It occurred to me that the physical keys to the laser were included for a reason. When you are ready to run the laser test or a laser tap file, the key must be inserted at the back of the laser module and must be t...
