I can not figure out how to get Overcut Compensation to work right. (See screenshot) No matter what I put in the field, whether negative or positive, tiny or large, the cuts go wild and do not compensate at all — it just makes a mess. My primary blade overcuts by .25”, so entering -0.25” or...

We have a cnc but I've never routed a 2" sheet and I'm sure that would be incredibly expensive. So is this a job for Gemini, or what would you do to make the 2" depth aluminum letters? 1/4" ones I think we do in ACM and paint. Thanks for your ideas

Greetings all. We've recently added flat bed cutting permissions to Onyx to give us the ability to tile long mural runs and cut on our Colex Sharpcut. Works exactly as we had hoped. My question is the Onyx barcode and what we need in order to scan at our Colex and automate our process even...

Hey y'all -- wondering if anyone has any unique tips for getting a good gasket on contour cut parts? We print a lot of CNC cut pieces. The more complex the cut, the more time it takes. More frustratingly, with interior corners / curves, it's not infrequent that, if there isn't a perfect gasket...

Hello, I wanted to make 1/2 PVC french cleats using my CNC router (( Colex Sharpcut)) because using the table saw is very messy. I found a V groove bit that cuts at 90 degree angle ((Onsrud 37-87)) but it requires a 1/2” collet which I dont have. Does anyone have a better idea? I can only make...

Hey all, We have a range of CNCs and software that we're slowly standardizing as we grow. The only software that consistently have issues with is i-cut Production Console for our C64. Does anyone know of any software we can run in its place? Optiscout would be my usual go-to here, but they...

Hey! I have a 408 Gerber with vaccuum board, as for now the original waste/spoil board is pretty much non existent, it's like 1-2mm left and many places the bare alu boards under are shown. So! It's about time to get it changed, I've read a lot of people using MDF without even routing the...

Good morning everyone. Today's challenge is to identify this piece of equipment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to find anything to identify the manufacturer. I was thinking Ving? Definitily Chinese? I have attached a few pictures and can provide more detailed photos...

My Gerber dimension 200E will cut correctly for the first but completely goes off during the second routing path. We have changed the Z stepper motor but that did not solve the problem. Gerber no longer supports the software or machine, any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank

Hey Guys, I'm new to CNC. Purchased a Colex Sharpcut Pro with 5hp spindle a few months ago. I've been through most of the basics and I'm now looking to learn about some 3d routing. Mostly debossed "carved" signs but also some embossed pyramid letter type stuff. Most of my useage is interior...
