General Mach Discussion / HELP with V-CARVING please

« on: January 19, 2018, 12:58:18 PM »

I'm new to CNC and am having an unbelievable time try to V-CARVE. 

I seem to have NO problem with Profiling & Pocketing; I think I understand it.

Is there some sort of BOOK or VIDEO TUTORIAL that might help me?

Just to get started what BIT should I be using?

How can I tell whether I have a 60 degree or 90 degree bit?

General Mach Discussion / Hello from Another Newbie

« on: December 17, 2017, 05:02:03 PM »

I'm new here and brand new to CNC.

I survived a massive stroke and have lost the use of my right side.  I owned a graphics company for 20+ years and this seemed so natural for me.  Hobby & Therapy...no production.

I have found the design software extremely natural and the CAD work I was already experienced with. 

I have an ACCTEK AKG6012, probably way more machine that I'll ever need but I did not want to buy a new machine every few years. 

I hope to learn a lot here and get motivated by your posts.

Sorry in advance for all my questions, especially all the dumb ones.  They will get smarter...I hope!

I know this has been posted before but help me out, I can't find it.

Is Mach 4 compatible with Windows 10? 

Is it still compatible with Windows 7?

Is it Touchscreen enabled?

Lastly, is it better than Mach 3?
