- He wants to know he's new to fourth axis CNCing. He's using a next wave and he says on this machine it makes more sense to wrap on the y axis as it gives me nearly 48 inches for the workspace between the headstock and Tailstock. I'm having trouble with text alignment no matter what I do.The text is going around the Y axis. I would like to have the text to go to align with the Y axis rotating. The text isn't working.
- I have a vacuum system that I just put on my machine, are those things like a fire hazard?
- I do a lot of two-sided projects and I'm constantly, constantly drilling holes into my spoil board for reference when I flip the project over. Is there a way to create a file specific area on my spoil board that I can create new projects in, like a template or something? I usually use three holes for references.
