A good teacher is not the one who knows too much . Rather the one who knows what the student would be thinking at that moment. You are one of them. God bless you gentleman.
I'm new to CNC and building a 1200mm X 1500mm 6 Axis w/2.2kW water cooled spindle and MACH3. Have the mechanical portion completed and currently building the electrical control system. It's been a lot of fun and going well. Vectric Aspire is a nice piece of software I particularly enjoyed your video, especially when you do a closeup of the ICON you are selecting it is very helpful and I've got a lot to learn. I can't wait to get my system calibrated and up and running. Thank you for your visual help. Jack, Meadow Lands, PA, USA.
Dave. You must have been a teacher in your last life. Very clear descriptions and bite sized chunks. Looking forward to your next video. It might be worth mentioning that you can download trial versions of the software free from Vectric if you haven't done so already.
I try to explain things in a way that makes sense to me as a novice Stephen, but thanks for the compliment. I will put a gold star on your report card!
Great simple video for people new to CAD, I would add to the helpful tips on moving around the job the three icons at the top with magnifying glasses. Its hard to see on the video, but one will be probably be Zoom to Selection (where you can drag a box over the portion of the job you are interested in and the view will zoom to just that box), and the other handy one is Zoom to Fit (where it will zoom out to fit all of the job in the view). These two save a lot of faffing with scroll wheeling and panning to get exactly the view you want. PS Apologies if you cover this later :)
Dave, Thank you for the video. I've been thinking about getting into CNC but know nothing about it. Your videos are always helpful and inspiring. Looking forward to many more. Troy from Orlando, Florida, USA
I am trying to do this in a way where I don't overload the viewer. Of course this will be boring to a seasoned user but I am only a learner and need the pace to be slow.
Hey David you are a hoot were you a school shop teacher that is how good you are. Have you ever been a machinist or programmer im going to guess no but that’s just me.none of what im saying is bad i just see the little things and im going to watch every video because im a old machinist and i know a lot about cad/cam but not autodesk ie vectric most of my stuff is in Catiea or mastercam keep cranking and thank you
Dave I’ve been curious about the software. I use turbocad pro to do my designs and it seems that the software is very close to it. Thanks again for a very informative Video.
I think i saw mach3 on the screen first, since i have just begun learning about cnc and softwares, wanted to ask, isn't aspire a cam cad software, if yes why do use mach3 too, is mach3 a cam software, why cam from mach3 and cam from vertric aspire ?, something i don't understand !
Hi David, I ordered my CNC machine and will be getting it mid May 2019. I dont have to say it, but I cant wait. Ive got Aspire and I`m doing tutorials but it is not helping me very much. Your video is great! Where do I find the video that follows this one? Chris - South Africa
Thank you Chris Gagiano ! I haven't done any for a little while but there is a bit in my playlist here ru-vid.com/group/PLlD-EUdC40782BvR4fn5WXG5-TBvWzxg7 and my swing project here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m_PYgahHGuM.html
Interesting point Ted Zukowski,. The software can be used to create on pretty much any machine out there. When the job is saved to code that a cnc can understand, you have a multitude of different brands of software to chose from to save to.
