The Shapeoko Forum

My suggestion would be to machine a fixture which has pockets in it, and to machine a spot with a V endmill at the origin point (which is aligned with one of the Rapid Position points if using Carbide Motion) and use wedges or something similar to secure the stock.

So long as the motors weren't changed to have electric requirements which exceed what the gShield can output, and you're okay with the connection/compatibility options of the Arduino/gShield you should be good to go.

Obviously the Shapeoko3 uses only a single clamp, but it's one which is much thicker than the clamps which you are using --- my suggestion would be to drill another pair of holes and shift the top clamp down so that it's directly on the other --- that should allow things to work.

Yes, Carbide Create imports DXFs as well as SVGs. Worst case if a DXF doesn't work is open it in LibreCAD, then export as MakerCAM SVG --- that usually works. Naturally if you come across any files which don't work, send them in to support@carbide3d.com and we'll do our best to look into them with y...

The BitSetter should only be checking for a closed circuit.

Usually the issue is a too short endmill --- mount it at the higher position?

It's finally starting to shape up:

I'll be doing an e-mail to survey folks for project specifics in the next week or so.

Output two separate files.

I've done 6--8 hour jobs, w/ a couple of breaks for food/tool changes.

I had good luck when I mounted a Harbor Freight 1/4" trim router, and then a Makita RT0701 to my Shapeoko 1 --- the mechanical advantage of a screw makes it pretty easy for the machine to cope with the added weight. You should get a lot more power and speed in cutting, and be able to adjust feed rat...
