bit getting "sucked" down
Hello shapers, So I have been putting a lot of time in on my S2... Upgraded to acme screw, nema23, and the 400W quite spindle. Adjusted and re-adjusted for square and removed as much play as possible without binding, using the eccentric nuts. I am using 1/4 single flute upper cut bit.... So my first...

Homing switches.... workflow
So I am about to install 3 switches, for x, y, z... to use as homing switches... I totally get the concept. But I don't understand how to then use the home position to determine the proper z depth for the workpiece? I see some videos showing using a metal contact plate to then set Z zero. But I assu...

Re: consistent zero
nice So the only remaining "issue" I seem to run into with UGS is large nc files. I have large nc files that are a combination of rough and several finish passes. I find one large nc file either seems to hang UGS when it loads... or it starts to send to the cnc, but UI becomes unresponsive... If how...

Re: pause between each line
Thanks again I have already been using the grbl post. So you would think it would take care of stuff like this... I am going to take your advice on the G70 line... I will try this on the the same code and see what happens... Also I wonder am I just committing some unforced errors by sending the code...

Re: pause between each line
BTW I am using HSMWorks.... Not all the HSMworks code is slow. I have done tests, where it runs very fast... which is the annoying part. I test, looks good. Then I create a real run. and I get this.. I have glbl .8c I cant see any errors, since I can't see though since UGS is relatively unresponsive...

pause between each line
Guys, I need to tap into your very helpful advice again. I have trying to figure out why some of my gcode seems to cause the grbl to pause at each line. Or at least that is what it looks like. I have created a multi pass toolpath. and I had thought that I tried to bump up the feedrate to 100in/min.....
