Hi all, Thank you for allowing me to join this forum, My name is Mark and I live in a small village called Alfriston in East Sussex. I retired from ill health a few years ago. So I decided to buy the two things I had wanted for a few years, the first was a Jaguar XKR, and the second was a CNC machine. The CNC sat in its boxes for about a year and a half as my health was quite bad and I just could not manage to put it together. But now I have. The machine I have is an Ooznest Workbee Z1+ 1000x1000. It is now sitting in my small shed waiting to be homed. And that is where I finish this introduct ..read more

I have been looking at Chinese ones and understand maybe they ..read more

So I have a piece of 20mm thick 6068 aluminium (400x300) . I know I can create holding tabs in cambam when profiling. Instead of cutting around a piece via profile, I am pocketing around the outside of the piece to be less harsh on the 6mm single flute endmill (although it will have a lot more material to mill) and also I will get much less vibration . I’d like to know if there is a way in cambam to avoid areas while pocketing to avoid clamping areas ? Then I can move the clamps once done to finish ..read more
