Thanks David, yes I was pleased how it came out as it was a spur of the moment mini project I have a Mk2 on the drawing board , envelope, in my grey cells :scratch: Andrew |
Doc:
Good job I need to try this. The engraving look nice! I know what you mean about the post I also use FeatureCam and have tweaked a post for my machine to get it to spit out the code I needed and it took a lot of trial and error to finally get it right. Nice work! |
raynerd:
Nice work, I made one a few years back and I was blown away with how well it worked. In all honesty, I'd never head of them even when I was trying to engrave text on my CNC machine! I showed what I'd done with a rotary tool and someone mentioned a drag engraver.... |
awemawson:
Thanks for the kind words DOC, It's the arcane syntax that XBUILD (FeatureCAM's post processor writer) uses that gets me. This is the line I had to insert in the program start, and tool change areas <IF>[le(<SPEED> , 49)]<THEN> [:<SPINDLE> = "5"] <ENDIF> <EOB> Simple stuff but remembering the syntax always trips me up as I only fiddle with it once in a while.

awemawson:
Chris, it was your posting on this that entered a drag engraver onto my 'To Do' list, so it's all your fault :lol: Andrew |
