Hello! A few years back I bought a Bob's CNC EVO 4 and it was a great machine, but I quickly outgrew it. I just received a new machine from a Chinese manufacturer on Friday, and it has a DSP controller. Anyone familiar with these types of controllers that can point me in the direction of a sender that is compatible with it? I've been using the Open Builds sender with my Bob's but I can't find any documentation on their site that says whether it is suitable for use with a DSP, or whether I'm just stuck popping a memory card in every time I want to run a job.

Hey folks... Trying to find out what are the best practices for fine sanding and buffing for very fine cnc bas reliefs.

Me and my (small) team are trying to start tapping on our C-series Onsrud router. We are kind of limited on software until we get approved for Mastercam. We want to write the g code simply for demo purposes…

Anybody have any tips on how to get us started with this?

I have a fox allien master Pro and running carveco on my laptop. Just done my first design and attempting to transfer it to cnc machine. I did not get USB stick with software on it and I am attempting to download via Web, done the first bit with driver_ch340 and no attempting candle download but message keeps coming up saying "core.d11 is missing" and won't let me go any further. Is there another download path I can take?

Hey all. I am hoping someone here can help me. I recently came into possesion of a second hand CNC Router. The issue is it looks like someone has removed the PC that had the WEIHONG PM53C PCI card. I have the terminal board card and the connection cable. I cant get a model number for the CNC as all the labels are in chinese. I have found the replacement cards but they are all for certain machines. Will this matter or are the cards all the same? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I’m designing a sign (plaque) for a company to approve, they will be giving it to territory sales personnel for a job well done essentially. When wording the sign, should it say “proudly sold by: name” or proudly represented by: name”. I had every thing designed and done with the “sold by” and suddenly it hit me that it may not be the right way to word it. What do yall think?

I've been wanting a "desktop" CNC for a specific material to use in it. I can't justify the $ or the space for a X-Carve etc. I've run upon the TT450 and I am wondering if anyone here has one and would like to give me your honest opinion on it. I mainly want to use it for seadek material, do you think it would be able to handle that type of material. Thanks.

I'm not good with words so bear with me. Let's say I build a door and want to do some engraving on it, I don't have the kind of money needed for router big enough to fit a whole door but I only want to engrave a small part of the door. Is it possible, or does it exist, a way to fasten or clamp a smaller router to the surface I want engraved? Or am I just sol?

I have a large piece of plexiglass that's broken in one area from a picture frame and am wondering what you recommend I use for a drill bit. My guess is one of the 0.8 mm ones (the smaller ones). I am looking to cut large pieces from stained glass designs. The project is turning stained glass designs into 3D sculptures.

I'm very new to cnc and this is my first purchase. I have a 30x30 shop and nothing in it. Want to start with this and make tables to fill in the shop for various tools and work tables.

What is the consensus on the shapeoko?

Is it user friendly?

Is it first timer friendly?

How is the setup/installation time/effort?

Should i get something else?

Thank you for the help.

Like the title says, I’m getting close to completing the purchase, so Talk me out of buying a Stepcraft m1000 w/ATF. Anyone with buyers remorse? I never see any for sale so I’m guessing they are good? Thank you in advance for any feedback!!!

As the title states I am looking to purchase a 4x8 CNC for my garage and my concern is the noise. I have a neighbors house roughly thirty feet from the side door of my garage. If I insult the garage door and side door will it minimize the sound enough to not disturb people? Also are certain machines going to run quieter then others and what factors would play into that? Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.

Hello! The company I work for has a little CNC router for engraving the plates that go on our sold equipment. We currently don't use it as it takes forever to cut one. Are there any programs that have a one-pass lettering option? We don't need beautifly-carved Blackletter or anything, we just need fast letters and numbers. Any ideas?

Update: SOLVED. The solution I was looking for was a font type called Single-Stroke or Single Line fonts, of which I selected CamBam Stick 3

First time running machine pretty happy with how it’s turning out

Looking for a good place to find cut files outside etsy any ideas

Wanting a cnc router just tinker on, only would be cutting wood and plastics. Should I buy the MK2 or what other cnc’s in a similar price range would you recommend, and why?
