I had a feeling I was paying allot for router bit's  . Onsrud's home base is about a half an hour away and I've heard there the best.

I'll have to try out those suggested bit and see what they can do.

Thanks for the links. I'm interested in the "chipbreakers", I usesome small 1/16 for cutting inlays and they work well.
Wonder if a 1/2 chipbreakers would give a super clean cut. I currently use downward spiral bits form my finishing cuts but they seem to dull out the quickest.

Hey Chris,
Big fan of yours 

Are you using the K2 39x25 (G?)?
Did you get the Steppers from K2, whats the spec's on those steppers?

I have the K2 39X25 with the upgraded Z axis, servo motors and a Porter Cable Router.
I use Onsrude carbide bit's.
I'm achieving 200 IPM in Hard Maple at about 0.002 accuracy with a 1/2 carbite bit at 0.25 depth.

The most important parts to getting fast and accurate cuts with the K2 cnc is having the upgraded Z axis,servo motors and good carbide bits. I would give K2 a call and get the servos, I believe there 300.00 for all three.

Tune your motors
If you stick to what you have and your motors are tuned correctly, jog the machine to see what kind of travel speed your getting without butchering the motors or the frame, this will be the max that your machine can handle.

After this it'll be up to your router.
Your bit should be clearing out the material giving very little resistance to the travel of the machine.
I spend around $75 a bit and they don't last long till there dull.

I would love to talk guitars and design softwear if you have the time give me an email. zealouseappex@comcast.net
I also have some screen designs that work good with the K2 machines and other stuff.

Wow!!!! do people really live that long?
Your cake is going to look like a forest fire.

Happy birthday Art!

Looking at it agian it says Mach2 in the upper left corner
but it is in Mach 3 under wizards.

I know it's in the Mach developers under wizards.
I've never used it so it might not work for what you want.
Here is alittle about it:

I used Firework to create the splash screen, it took about a minute to do. If you want one with your logo(or I could just use text with some steel effects) email it to me. If you have an idea of what you want it to look like send a description. I'll have sometime tomorrow to do it.
I've work with creating Icon's, so you could turn your splash screen or logo into an icon.

For the splash screen you just over write Mach 3 bitmap pictures with your own.

There is also a free installer program calle Install creator.
 Benny knows ,he told me about it.

I made my own Mach screen and just like Benny said droped three of them in the bitmap file, "Splash.bmp","Splash1.bmp" and "Splash2.bmp".p
BUt I would never hide the icon and make people think it was any other program but Mach.

RandomAccess,

Art has included the sliders and they are skinable.
I believe that He went public with the sliders a few months ago.

They work very well with touch screen's.
There are 3 or four diffrent sliders included in the Mach 3 "Developers" Bitmap folder and are used for feed rate and spindle control.

Here's one of them:

There a very new Mach addition(super cool work great) it's included in the Developers Edition of Mach 3.

Benny has to update us here from the (visually unappealing) Yahoo forum.
They work great and add more capability to Mach:

That would be great if you could add a image property for the LED's.
I was looking at the components that "Jetcam Screen Editor" produces after creating a screen and notice the LED bitmaps.

It's great to have the ability to tile images.
Do tiled images have to be exported as a single image from Jetcam Screen Editor?
It would seem exporting the single tile would give a smaller file size and a crisper appearance.

One more quick question, because I did not read any thing about this:

Are the new "Slider" available in Jetcam?
