    cut to the bone

    I like the screen but it needs commands to control travel speed (ipm's)on the fly. I have been using the insert and delete keys to do this. It's not something you do all the time but it sure is convenient when you want to speed up that final profile cut that's just removing the 'skin'. Will the 'Set Z' button actually set z ? Since we installed the boring head on our machine we have to type in G37Z to set each head.

    K

    Yes it was.

    I cant verift the key logger allegation but the instalation of artcam was definately there in a directory named some other product.

    how many passes for a groove cut?

    How many passes does everybody do for a cabinet/wardrobe cut? So far i'm doing 2 passes, first one at 2.75 mm then it goes down to 5.5mm and the cut i get is very clean. Is it worth doing it like that or is it just worth doing it at the 5.5mm the first pass? The bit i'm using is similiar to a 20mm Ogee basic bit.

    Your thoughts?

    This Multicam video might help with some of the pass depths and speeds you can run on Mdf.

    If the quality of the cut is good enough, cut it in one pass. Provided the machine can handle it, but I wouldn't think that would be a problem. If the finish suffers, I'd make one pass at maybe 4.5mm, and a 1mm finish pass.

    Combining G Code Output- Type 3 software

    Mods please give me a rev up if I'm off topic but question relates to software supplied with Excitech machines so hopefully someone here knows the answer.

    Ok- I am finding that I often have multiple operations on one sheet using the same tooling (i.e. I may have toolpaths for outside cut, inside cut, plotting and inside clearance engraving). At the moment I generate sperate output from type3 for each operation and run seperately.

    Can I edit the Gcode in notepad to copy and paste all files into one?
