I cannot argue the fact that heat breaks down carbide bits.. It's a fact. Yes, I have had jobs before where the bit was SO HOT that I swear it could have been red.. (it wasn't) BUT you get premature dulling and early breakage when the bit is exposed to high temps. Keeping your bits at room...

Heard digital printers are best left in the boxes.. :) You have nothing to be worried about, we all get that way about things.. Looking back, I tore open my new fish finder last year while sitting in the parking lot of the store I bought it from..

Right on.. Too many times have I had to play "king of the hill" with geeks over knowledge on such an open and opinionated-based hobby.

Yes, exactly. But won't touch Vista 64 on this system with a 30 mile stick.. Eh. I am not a fanboy that says "vista sucks" I am a computer user that says "vista sucks". After seeing them actually spend time on an OS (7) I can now officially state that VISTA SUCKS. They know it, we know it...

Seems to be the standard Jackpine.. The other 3 systems in our shop (considerably slower) run it amazingly fast.. I really don't get it. Just uninstalled both 12, x3 and x4 (trial) and did a registry cleanup and reinstalled to see if MAYBE that changed anything.. Nope. Went into the preferences...

Yeah, I understand the tuning aspect.. My system itself is tuned to about as far as it can go. As for the ram issue.. Yeah, I understand it's the 32/64bit problem. I put 6 into my system, because the company cannot afford to bump me up to a higher OS than what I am currently on but wanted to...

Can you go into a little more depth with this? is there a fix for it to stop rebuilding them? I am dumb when it comes to Corel..

Has anyone noticed that X3 is really slow compared to 12? I have problems opening almost every job. I have a pretty sick system too.. Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 6GB Ram (3 utilized under XP) Quadro FX 570 Software, in my opinion is tuned as best as I can.. 12 opened files in less than...

Janey.. If you're still checking this thread, I am PRETTY sure I can help you resolve your issues.. btaylor@plumbsigns.com. I can step you through the settings I am using (and have set up on my own) and we can hopefully solve this problem!

Well, I must say.. If your bit is getting hotter than room temperature, you're doing something wrong. A router bit should NOT get hotter than room temp, even while cutting aluminum. The idea of a CNC router is to have the heat buildup in the chip extraction. THOSE should be hot, not the bit. You...

Janey.. When you are on your Controller, while running a job (anything will do) press the number "8" on the controller. It will change from "feeds = 100%" to the actual feed speed being used by the router. This will tell you if that's set up correctly. Email me @ btaylor @ plumbsigns . com and I...

I'm just saying.. Your attitude seems very standoffish, even towards anyone here that doesn't agree with you. I'm starting to become a troll to this thread, so I will stop posting after this. I just don't think you are presenting yourself correctly to us, as well as to the Chicago Multicam...

what type of gap do you have between your acrylic and your aluminum? with the above method, I have between 0-.015625 overall gap.. Enough to let them expand and contrast at different intervals without having parts break..

Pushing plastic through another material (typically plastic through aluminum) you'd call that a "Push-Thru". It's very easy to do.. But, I use a method I think that can be simplified. I first pull up Flexi (typically my vector interface for 90% of jobs). I get my aluminum panel, and make a...
