Tiz shit agreed.. next time I will know though lol ! And i'd like a bit of tit tickling plz !

It’s like that scene with the cancer patient in Flight film.. “Do I think god gave me cancer? No, do you think he would have given it me if I‘d have asked him to? No. Now I have it do you think he will take it away? No. Course I believe in God.. !!

As for a tool height setting probe, you could always make one like mine - http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/tool-t...-solution.html

Sorry Jazz i was reading the thread all serious how you was helping out then it was like someone popped your balloon. Can i buy you a new one to say sorry????

I will admit i am feeling guilty but it was funny......... I went into factors a couple of months ago to get some bits for my car. I asked for some parts for a nissan praire. The guy disappears for about ten minutes and returns with a shed load of bits. He says to me " i knew i had a bunch of stuff hanging around, you can have this lot for nothing as i will never sell it". I had to disappoint him and say i drive a nissan largo. He looked all puzzled to which i replied that if i had said they were for a largo he would not have known what the hell i was talking about. He was quite pissed that he wasted all that time digging the stuff out. I id get the bits i needed though.

No worries.!! It took 10mins from my day so no big deal and like I say sure others will benefit.
Must admit I didn't think to ask, mainly because thought I'd seen in another thread Fivetide used Mach.? Obviously mistaken Identity.!!

No Tit's is good enough grounds for divorce in my Book.!! . . . Having a Mach BOB and not using it is criminal thou.!!!

Get it swapped over man there's only 15 wires can't be that hard to figure out.! . . . . Will be worth the trouble just to use the probes. You'll also get better cut quality from what I've seen look here. Mach3 vs NC-studio

We are lol .. but now shes put on some wood and according to my Dad has a decent set of paps now ! NCstudio is shite ! but I need to live with at for the time being.. cash flow etc. Is sold the BOB coz I need the cash but one day I want 3 -4 machines running of the same board.. dream on lol
Oh and the good news with the new cutter I have halfed the cut time, and I also see ways of bringing that down by another 50% so from 12 hours to 2.. which is a bonus. Though my maths is shit its still 2hours

Im having the same problem only Im cutting 25mm mdf. 110mm alphabet A to Z. Im using a 6mm spiral Leitz tool. Spindle speed set at 5000rpm and feed at 7000 although I have this slowed down to 40% as strain on tooling . Im cutting this in 2 steps but its taking over 2 hrs to cut 144 letters..boss thinks Im swinging the lead. If I speed the rpm and feed up it breaks the tool. Are my speeds correct?
