    Smile Test file wanted for Mach 3

    Got my mill running today except for Z for which I need gears and belt. Still have to fine tune axis movement but what a thrill to see it move. Any way I was wondering if someone could send me a file for testing setup. Looking for something that uses a V point and is not larger than 18" by 36". Something that you know runs clean under Mach 3.

    Here's something I threw together for you. Make sure your in CV mode, and not exact stop. It's about 12x24, with about .02 depth of cut. You have to have a license, because it's too big to run in demo mode.

    Here is a link to make the spirograph thingies like those that Gerry threw together. You should be able to make designs small enough to run without a license for Mach.

    licence

    After seeing Mach 3 in action I bougth a licence 2 months before I started building my mill. At $159 it is a steal! Actually I feel guilty getting such a great price at such a low price. Now if it was Microsoft, well that is a different story.
