Re: Laser Images on chc shark hd4
Just pull down the software I wrote.. it generates a raster of most any image in under a minute.. no known size limit. It is the fastest Laser raster file generator in the entire world! & I bet it's easier to use than Paint Shop Pro by Jasc http://nextwaveautomation.com/Downloads/installCNC_NWCP_v3....

Re: Z axis zero changes in middle of job
A high precision collet will make a world of difference when using those bits. They are the only types of collets we use in house to build parts for the CNCs. The standard collets usually only have 3 or 4 collective points meeting the bits. While the high precision collets will have a minimum of 6 t...

Re: Which software to use/buy with the 4th axis
Once you have the HD4 and the 4th axis you can use our custom software to align the lathe after you generate your carving in vcarve or aspire. http://nextwaveautomation.com/Downloads/installCNC_NWCP_v3.0_Beta.exe We have not identified any bugs in the software at this time.

Re: touch plate is suddenly intermittant
Make sure the cable didn't go bad. if there's a disconnect on the cable at the magnet or where the magnet is wired into the main touchplate cable you will get intermittent results.
