60 degree V-bit.
about 30K rpm (my max).
0.01" deep.
10 IPM.
No lube.

Anything obviously pop out as wrong? Seems like the bit was just "sticking" for lack of a better word. I could see the gantry flexing as it was trying to cut.

All my work is in inches.
I have noticed when I save as a "big blue" dxf it scales wrong but if I use the inkscape default dxf it scales fine.

Heeks just seems really temperamental to me.
Some days it works fine and other days not so much.

My scaling problem went away when I started using my own drawings.
Now today it can't make tabs properly while it was working fine earlier?

Where can we get some steel clamps like that? I'm not even sure what to google
Slot clamp maybe??

Cutter Compensation allows the programmer to program the tool path without knowing the exact tool diameter. The only caveat is the programmer must program the lead in move to be at least as long as the largest tool radius that might be used. Taken from: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/tool_compe...

I get the concept of cutter comp. What I'm asking is how to setup comp in Heekscad specifically for LinuxCNC. I've been through enough tutorials to get Heekscad to do what I'm trying to get it to do but can't seem to find any documentation on setting up the cutter comp. The option I'm talking about ...

What am I doing wrong here?
Opening the DW660 dxf file in inkscape and it shows up about 1 inch wide.
Same file in Heeks shows up less than 0.11 inch wide.
Both are wrong but not sure why and what the solution is?

I had to tighten the snot out of mine. Batch 4 also.
I thought I was going to strip the aluminum coupler but it didn't.

Just got my shipping notice for batch 4.

So is a mount for the Proxxon readily available or am I going to have to cobble something together myself?
