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 need some suggestions for workflow -and- tools when working with acrylic .375" to .5" thick 48x96" sheets. We almost exclusively do second surface printing with this substrate.
Clearly weight is a factor and the thicker it is the more it weighs. This weight problem can lead to issues loading...
Hello,
We work primarily with foamed PVC, usually cutting but in some cases routing with our Sharpcut.
The routing debris adds up quickly. The shop vac provided fills up quickly -- even more so when using bags instead of the filter. Emptying the can is a horrible mess without the bags, due...
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...
Just ran into an application that will be repeating, where we need some help: tiling large graphics in Onyx and pairing with our Colex flatbed cutter. In the attached graphic Onyx split up this file into panels with overlap. We trimmed manually and the installer overlapped. We're started to get...
SO we roll to roll print vinyl on a roland vsi540 then we laminate it with a roller laminator to give the magnet a certain look. we've noticed that during the lamination process the image stretches. usually this isn't a problem BUT since we're using a colex CNC and have registration marks. they...
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...
Hello All,
I am looking for your great opinions and suggestions. We are in a position to purchase our first CNC machine and i am about to make a decision this weekend. We just signed our purchase on the flatbed and working on the Cutting table next
We narrowed down our selection to ESKO X24...
This is one of my favorite projects so far. It was for internal use, with an idea I found on Instructables.com
We printed this on white dibond, and used our Colex cutter to route it to the desired shape. Then we used our Colex to route out the wood frame and we applied color changing LEDs.
It...

I have a Colex Flatbed cutter. It isnt acting right. I have a cut file for the part that I am cutting, but when I go to cut it cuts lines that arent even on the cut file and cuts almost wherever it wants. Has anyone experianced this before or have any ideas? I am very new to this machine...
