Would it be possible to attach a g-code file that you generated with the other software and one from VCarve with the same tool settings? Just a simple square profile cut would do. A person just has to figure it out over time what works for them. Can anyone shed some light on this please? From everything I've read its seams like there too many variables for anyone to tell anyone else what specs to use to get good results. I also haven't been able to make much sense from the chipload calcs to RPm to travel speed. Every time I've tried to do the same in Vcarve the bit has broken even when I've copied over the RPM and travel that cabinet making software thinks its using.Ĭan anyone give me some advice for getting similar fast results in Vcarve as I get in Mosaik? It uses my 3/8 comp bit and cuts out 3/4 ply, melamine, or MDF in one pass. In cabinet making software( or I assume any other cabinet software), The software knows an optimal setup for the chosen bit through a material. And after breaking two bits in an attempt, I revert back to the very slow but safe many passes with a 1/2' down cut. I've tried cutting parts out in the 1 or 2 passes that the bit should allow for but have had terrible luck. I understand there are many factors that go into choosing rpm and travel speed but i'm still lost on it frankly. I'm starting to lose count of the bits I've broken using Vcarve. I've only broken one bit using cabinet making software and I understand why that happened. In the last 8 months of using both programs. cabinet making software for cabinet parts.

Vcarve pro for custom shaped stuff, signage, and other. Its been great for my speed and efficiency, even with the learning curve. Its a 4x8 bed, 5hp spindle, with a 10 tool ATC. I only bought my first machine for my shop last April.
