USB and VR Milling v5 (the latest, I think)

Tx :)

PS: It's 'growling' a bit (would this make a difference?); tomorrow it's getting lubed to the hilt as per the manual!

The model size is 230mm, and 8mm is added to Extend Model Boundary. This would surely equate to 246mm? With a max trave...

Microrouter Pro X and Y limits

Hi y'all I have been stymied by a job that 'exceeds machine limits'. Exactly how far can the machine go? Judging by the data on screen in VRMilling it is 270mm for the Y axis. The piece I was cutting was 230mm diameter, with 'Extend Model Boundary' on QuickCam Pro 'Set Boundary Page' at 8mm for a 7m...
