The Shapeoko Forum

Hi I was at another Shapeoko owners house on last Saturday who lives in Worthington So that make 3 of us. I know 2 other guys that have CNC units in the Columbus area. So how long have you had your and what soft ware are you using . I use Vcarve Pro. I have been wondering if there would be any intru...

I watch a lot of videos and never see anyone use the machine bed to set the Z zero.
If you used your spoil board to set the Z would that eliminate cutting in to it when cuttting a part out.
Or is there some other reason it is not used.
Jeff

Well I have look at that link several times you provided and there is nothing in it about changing the feed rate while a cut file is running.
I think the lack of of a information on all the features of the CM4 other than probing is to bad.
But that just my opinion.
Jeff

So is how do I reset it
Why is this kind of information not on there web site.
FYI i called Carbide early this week about the feed rate and had to leave message and nobody called me back.
Do you use the probe,
Jeff

Hi I am looking for people that might live in or close to Columbus Ohio . I would like to see if there is an interest in starting a group that might want to meet and share ideas and how too's And some place where we could bounce question off of each other to learn new and better way's of using our S...

Sorry But none of that made any sense to me.
If the feed rate on a bit in a tool path I am running is 40 IPM and I click the 10% up button 2 times what has that done to the feed rate of that tool path.
Jeff

With the new CM software while running the job I want to know how the 10% increase in feed rate works.
So another words If my tool speed rate is 40" pm and I want to increase it to 50 50 ft pm .how many clicks would that be..
Jeff

I just noticed this that the rails that run from front to back sag in the middle, I assume that that it has been that for a long time.
From side to side in the middle it saga about 1/16 or more.
Was wondering what you all have done to correct that.
Jeff

Will I have one other question ,I am having some issues with my current laptop, which I am sure that will require a new one.
So with that said.
Is the only thing that I will need to download is Carbide motion V4
The GRBL v1.1 reflashed the control board.
Is that right
Thanks Jeff

So If you should not touch off to the probe with your vbit when you need to change from a end mil how are you supposed to reset your z zero
