Straight versus spiral cutters
Hi, I notice in the V Carve tool data base that the term end mill is used to describe a flat bottom bit ( I always associate end mill more with metal cutting ).

Re: Pause button
Thanks Rando, No, I don`t think its the computer it goes to sleep regular, never an issue. Sometimes when I leave controller on and bring up the control panel on the computer I have to turn controller off/ on to get it communicating . Only left it for 30 mins. no outage .

Re: z axis alignment
Hey Rando , If I was 40 years younger I`d be right into it , I`ve got all the gear , lathes, mills, ect. but at 73 you start and wonder how long your gonna last .I figured if I get to 112 I will clear my current work load.

Re: z axis alignment
I don`t know if this approach has been tried but the over .5 mm (.023" ) sag in the middle of the X axis was starting to give me some grief.( see photos ) I decided to play around adding a counter weight to the rear of the Z axis motor. With a bit of experimenting if I mounted a 4.5 lb weight 350 mm...

Re: plunge cutting pushes the router up in the clamp
My fix for this particular problem was to drill and tap a 3/16" locking screw through the clamp and drill small dimple into the router body. Nip up the screw after tightening the clamp , end of problem .
