I've been using your software for 12+ years. I saw this and thought I could skip it since I know a LOT...then you showed me how to lock layers. Wait, what? Or let's just move the center or rotation so we can test this...wait WHAT? Moral to the story: I ALWAYS learn something from you. Thank you for producing excellent, quality material.

For your offset cam, a line from pivot point to contact should be perpendicular 90° for best securing otherwise the cam can easily push itself off with vibration. A Fibonacci spiral gives ideal shape for the cam

Those are pretty nice add on, and like always you gave tons of tricks on the side thank you.

Learning how to determine where the profile cuts are for the 90 degree bit was mind blowing! It is so simple the way you showed how it was done. Simple when you already have it drawn in 2D!

I learned more in this one video than anything else that i watched in the past year. Thanks. Plus the scaling with the ruler, I have been looking for how to do it.

Although I use something else for my CAM needs, I enjoy watching those videos from Vectric. 👍

Nice video Vectric, I always learn something new. Thanks

The sideways hold of the cam lock is far more important than the downward force of a hold-down. The major forces on a CNC machine come from the X and Y steppers. Instead of the square I have used the CNC machine itself to define the bottom left reference. I drilled a hole at 0,0, then used the X step to position a couple more along the bottom. I did the same up the side for the Y direction, then tapped some dowels into them. Doing it this way guarantees precise alignment to the CNC's axes. The dowels are every bit as good as a full square.

Awesome!

Great video. I would like know for reference what feeds and speeds you used.

Very good

I'm a Stuff maker too

Hi Is there a video showing how the spoil board was made? Sure would like to see it, if available. Thanks-D

Where can I find an enclosure like the one on your cnc?

Is it possible to get a copy of the files you used to create the spoilboard you created for this video?? Thanks, Chuck S

i think when you close the glass box of the cnc, temprature will increase. what do you think ?

How do you download from your Vectric Account?

how did you cut the hole in camlock with one toolpath did i miss somthing ?

Glue some sandpaper to the surfaces of your Angles and Wedges where they will touch your project - this will greatly increase the holding ability. Don't add to the Cams as they need to be able to slide against a surface. I did something similar to my my CNC with larger dog holes as I use short sections of PEX tubing (Similar to Marius Hornberger's in 2016 where he used copper tubing -

Your software does not support international locals like Arabic! your missing out on the Arabic Caligrphy and Islamic art / designs!
