CNC Shark Forum

Hey Folks, First post here and needed to get onboard as a means to try and hunt down an issue that is puzzling me. <snip>..... - Was surprised and shocked when the SD110, with the brand-new spindle started galling the aluminum and this started to really impact the machine.

Along the length of the gantry? Or along the length of the bed? Most people have it as along the length of...

Yes, just be sure to use the right post-processor, available on the Vectric or NWA site. Here's the low-down from NWA:
