Thanks for the reply I will try that

I built a new table and I am using LinuxCNC software, with their Axis screenset. Which Post Processor would be the best to use. I have used the LinuxCNC plasmaC for the plasma operation, which works fine with QTPlasmaC. But I am having g-code issues planning a router operation in SheetCam. This is o...

HI Les I did some testing and the V Carve option will not remove material as another program does. And cannot be used for inlay work where a wider operation is needed. It may work fine for thin or single line font inlay work, but not the type I want to do. The first image shows the circular type of ...

HI Les well the purpose I have for doing V carving is to do inlays. To do this you need to have 2 parts a male (plug) and a female (pocket) that will interlock when mated. This requires the male to be a mirror of the female and be shaped to form the plug (raised part). the process is the female is r...

Thanks Les I will check it out

I am interested in the plugin for V carving with SheetCam, are there any tutorial videos I can watch before buying.
Thanks Tom V

It now works fine, maybe just needed to be restarted a few time

boy you have screwed up the update, just installed it.
when I change functions it exits the program

that is how my luck has been running, fails each time I try
thanks for looking at it, not sure what I can do for routing inlays now.
Are you using windows, what version?

wrong post sorry still a problem

Thanks Les I appreciate your time in dealing with this matter, attached are the post processor (generic Mach 3 from the supplied list) and the job as saved in SheetCam

I created another tool using a 30 degree V bit it will Vcarve the shape inside but when I click on the create pocket it blows up even using a 30 degree V bit for the pocket tool. I cannot do a spiral pocket with the 30 Deg...

Here is the problem I am having when trying to Vcarve a pocket for creating a inlay. Images attached showing the drawing with cut paths first step is Vcarve the perimeter. If I check the create a pocket it looks like it does that but comes up with errors, (automatically adds the pocket option). Pock...

Thanks for the reply I do have the drilling/milling enabled. I did some test routing today and it will do what I want I will Vcare the inside (pocket)when the shape is only what you want without an outside layer. and it will do the outside(plug) if you have a box around the shape. Vcarve inlays :D T...
