Excellent.

Some are here for the journey and some for the destination but it is certainly a hobby where we just don't stop learning.

Hi John,

Make sure you have properly extracted the zip file that was sent to you. Copy the file  Mach1Lic.dat  into your Mach3 folder.

Check out the Vectric range of software (Cut2D perhaps ?) https://release.vectric.com/

Sounds like power saving features on your PC.

Check that nothing on your PC goes to sleep or into low power mode etc.

Hi Peter,

Are you using USB or Ethernet connection to the 57CNC ?

Hi Jokim,

It has been a while now - why has your website not been rebuilt ?
If you wish to keep the plugin free why not post it as a zip file for others to download from here ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Which tutorial to use?

Not quite a simple as it appears to be. 

There are many variants (or clones) of the basic CNC 6040 so you may just have to try all the set-up options until you find one that works for you.

Hi William,

Sorry but it is not something I have ever done so I don't have any suggestions for doing that.

Forgot to mention the work is created within the CAD/CAM software - no need to import .dxf from Engravelab.

Hi Billy,

Not your fault my friend if the tools you are using are not the best.

F-Engrave is free; http://scorchworks.com/Fengrave/fengrave.html

Vectric costs money; http://www.vectric.com/products/aspire.html

I use both of these (used F-Engrave for rotary engraving less than 0.5 mm high and V-Carving a 2 Metre long, 10 mm or so deep, Teak sign).
