Surfacing is a basic skill all CNC users should learn for flattening materials and your work surface. Now with gSender’s built-in surfacing functionality, users can quickly and easy set up a surfacing job.

Just setup and surfaced the waste board on my new LongMill MK2 30x48... ready to get carving on some projects. I have been very impressed with everything at Sienci Labs so far! Very helpful team of people, support and well engineered / manufactured products! Great job Sienci Lab team!!! Thanks!

Didn't know gsender had this feature. Makes surfacing much easier and efficient.

This video came in the nick of time, this was the final project to complete my 30x30 build! So appreciated, clear concise, and answered all my questions! Thank you Sienci!!

@michaelbruner3555 Год назад

I got to tell you that the Surfacing section of gSender has REALLY improved since I got my machine last March! Keep up the great work!

@Dugsin503 Год назад

Thanks for great video. It’s always a good to refresh processes we don’t always use.

Very cool

It's a great feature for the beginning user. I don't like the ramping dance or perimeter move. I wish that part was a enable box. I just usually manually write my own Gcode to do a quick surfacing or profile passes. I just want a basic lead in, Raster, then lead out, simple to write in Notepad or Wordpad. Cool feature no doubt.

Brother when I was upload surfacing program it has been going one line and suddenly stopped and showing grbl 1.1h for help. I can't understand what happened.. Please send me feed back.. Thank you

@dwaynejohnson7499 Год назад

Great video I was playing around with the surfacing option and was planning on doing this in a few days, how long did this take for the entire surface. I have a 1 inch surfacing bit, about how long will it take?

@SienciLabs Год назад

It'll depend on how fast your machine is running, but I'd say 10-15 minutes roughly.

nice

Why when pressing stop job does all axis zero out?

@josephvitale4357 Год назад

My LongMill is arriving this week. I built a table and plan on using the MDF slats like in this video for the waste board. I have a basic question should the LonhMill be mounted at the same height as the waste board or is it ok to mount it flush with the table which will be in my case 3/4 inch lower than the wasteboard?

@SienciLabs Год назад

It's up to you Joseph! The mounting difference won't make a very large impact on machine rigidity - the machine is instead flexible to how people want to use it, that way you could even use very large spacer blocks to raise the machine up and fit much thicker material under the CNC

@ryancampbell4847 27 дней назад

When you are surfacing, and it asks for the bit diameter (you used 22mm), are you measuring the surfacing bit where it cuts? For exanple, in the video you use a 1" surfacing bit, but the number you input is 22mm (not 1 inch). Where are you getting the 22 mm from?

@SienciLabs 27 дней назад

The bit diameter you should set should be the exact diameter that you measure from the surfacing bit of where it cuts. The bit that I was using is a 22mm wide bit, it is not a 1" bit.

@josephvitale4357 Год назад

Excellent video. Thanks. I am considering buying the Longmill MK2. However, I just noticed something that concerns me. The gSender software expresses measurements in this video in mm. I hope that this is configurable to imperial. Is it? Is that true in all the software ? Thanks

@SienciLabs Год назад

Yes if you change your workspace settings in the gSender settings, the tool will work and show in imperial as well.

@brianlister6036 Год назад

is GSender included with the machine when purchased ?

@SienciLabs Год назад

Yep!

@pipercub45 6 месяцев назад

How do you use the "Test Run" function?

@SienciLabs 6 месяцев назад

You can just press the button in gSender and it'll check the file for any obvious errors in the code

@pipercub45 6 месяцев назад

So it doesn't create any movement in the machine? Thanks@@SienciLabs

@SienciLabs 6 месяцев назад

No movement, if you want to try the machine moving before you cut you can always set the Z zero high above the material and keep the router off, then run the job and see how it looks
