I have been puzzling over how to deal with double sided routing of 1 pvc. Currently I am working on a 12 x 12 square area, with 10 work pieces arrayed out. Each part has a couple 1/8 zero holes that I use to line up when I flip the pvc. The problem lies in the fact that nothing really comes out

One question, from someone who hasn't used CAM. The CAM package would provide a way to specify the number of tool passes, to reach the final depth of a machining operation? I recently went away from redundant gcode lines with the added tool paths for each z by passing a file with the xy cut to a

Yes, much more readable. The downside is that you can't do a restart at line without specifying which iteration of the outer loop to restart from. And neither the GUIs nor the runtime support that. For me, I simply go back to the oword call and rerun the particular string. I am a hobbyist

Andy, I recall seeing a picture from you with a blown IRAMS. I'm hoping to order some, but I would like to learn what I can before hooking them up. Do you have any on-line notes or other material covering your experience with the IRAMS or similar modules? -- Kirk Wallace
