Zero and other measurements
Hey, Recently when I set the zero (Mach3) on the machine and load the code created in sheetcam and then check some reference points I find that it is off. It is anywhere from 3+ to 4+ inches off on the Y and much less off on the X. It is always away from the piece, towards the table zero. Just wonde...

Hi Les, Thanks, I got the drawing cleaned up and that got rid of the weird corners and drill points outside the corners however it still would not process the actions. If the pocket bit is too large to completely clean out the pocket, could this be the cause of the failure? With that in mind, I am a...

Having issues and Questions
1. Will sheetcam do vcarve inlays? If so, how is it done? One has to be inside and one has to be outside. Can't seem to get vcarve function to cut outside. 2. When doing a vcarve I check the pocket option. When I try to process the action, I get errors? I can create separate functions to accomplish ...

Need help with "Z" holding zero
I was doing a vcarve operation today and was having issues with Z. It seems that it was not holding the correct z height. I originally set it with a tool touch off then stopped the program and manually moved the z lower and set it. restarted the program and the same thing happened. Was air cutting o...

So, I went back to the shop today and started to play around with this issue. Found the problem and got it resolved. Thinking that posting why it went wrong may help others, here is why. I had a border that I wanted to cut out as well and it was on the same layer. All I needed to do was create a new...

What am I doing wrong? vcarve
I just purchased the vcarve option and am excited to learn how this works! I did a text sign in inkscape using the Sylfaen font, saved as a SVG. Loaded into Sheetcam and went to the vcarve application. Picked the tool (90* v bit) and the layer. Set the max depth at .25" and left the other setti...

help with inlays
So I have tried this two ways and was close but not as good as I think it can be. 1. I drew a star in inkscape, import to sheetcam. Do one process as a pocket and another (on thinner material) as an outside cut for the inlay. Did not fit. 2. I used the first drawing for the insert with an outside cu...

Several issues (on my end, not the software)
I recently purchase a CNC router and it came with Sheetcam. Not sure of the version but figuring several years past? I have been searching and reading posts on this BB trying to figure out this corner sharpening thing using a v-bit (1/2' 90*). I have been able to get it to trace the letters (for a s...
