Airmist does not require any modification to the machine. If set correctly there is hardly any residue left and it will evaporate away.

Using QuickCAM 2D Design to create the part the attached dual purpose cheese board and drinks tray was created. board 1.jpg drinks tray 1.jpg 2d design.JPG drinks tray.jpg To download QuickCAM 2D design File select t...

If you browse the VR Turning CD there is a folder called manuals. There is a setup manual for VR Turning on the CD. You need to set the work offsets first with tool 1 then setup the other tools in the tool offset menu.

Can you remove the cover from the electrical panel. Then check there is power to the control card. There is a 7 segment display on the control card. Is it lit and what does it display?

Here is a list of the EPROM numbers fitted to the Smartstep, Denstep and Nextstep controller cards. All the machines were supplied with DOS software before 2000 and a change over to the current VR Turning and VR Milling software in late 2000. To identify what software will run on your controller you...

Hi
Thanks for the notification. I can recreate the problem here so we should be able to resolve it in the next release.

Yes add an earth wire from the aluminum tube that passes through the side window and link it to the frame of the cabinet. What shop Vac do you have? If it has a metal housing make sure the top and bottom are also linked.

RM1/400 is the assembly.

The cross slide is RM1/401

Try running a shorter USB cable say 1M or less, If you can get one with ferrite suppressors this would help. I would also ensure that you make sure the power settings on the PC are not allowing the USB port to shutdown for power saving. Device driver call fail occurs when the USB communication hands...

The V carve settings work from the surface of the material. Are you effectively trying to V Carve into the bottom of a pocket? I am not sure if that would work as the depth the carving goes to is set by the geometry on the surface. Also there would be no collision detection around the tool. The solu...

Schematic 2007 - 2009

There was also a mod done adding a earth wire to the vacuum nose pipe where it passes through the side window as static could jump the gap and ground to the cabinet.
