HowTo Loss of Vacuum causes tool check event.
I use vacuum table to hold down large sheets while I mill them. Right now I have a DP2-40E Vacuum sensor mounted on the wall that triggers a visual alarm when I loose vacuum. What I would like to do, is trigger a tool height check event (I want to pause and lift the tool so I can check and see why I...

Feature Requests :)
Just finishing up a complete retrofit of a 7x14 gantry router. It was using a ancient version of flashcut and I was worried that it was just going to die at some point. We have a number of machines with various controllers from Hass to Tormach and even some heavily customized Mach3 thrown in there. ...

I can literally watch the line count increment one by one. This program is pretty typical of what I woul...

Re: Drawing toolpath takes hours...
In the being completely honest category, I am not sure where the feedrate override is. Am fluent in powerpath, mach3 and 4 and linuxcnc, but not Centroid yet...

Drawing toolpath takes hours...
I have a reasonably fast PC but a moderately complicated toolpath takes about 30 minutes to draw. Is this normal? To be honest, I haven't done much besides setup windows 10 and load the software and tried to view a toolpath.
Happy to attach the gcode...
