Gents,
It's taken a long time but I'm finally up & running. I've been having trouble getting quality output using vbits. I've downloaded Vectric's Vcarve Pro which includes a sample file "Bullshead". I've probably cut this file at least 12 times & this is the best example. Can anyone shed any light on what the problem may be?
Settings are 1/2 step microstepping. Mach 3 motor settings are X & Y = 2000 SPI, 65 vel & 15 Accel. Z = 4800 SPI, 48 vel & 10 accel. Motion mode is set to exact stop. The bit I'm using is a 90 degree 1/4" Vbit. The gcode was produced from the sample file with no modifications at all. Cutting was performed at FRO 40%. Today I took the top off & tightened all nuts & reseated every leadscrew collar with no appreciable difference. I've also played with different microstepping configurations.
