XYZ Probe Vise for 3018 Pro CNC Machine 

No problem!

Glad you liked it. I still find it useful to this day.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

Yes. This is fully built into UGS. Glad you liked it!

Do you know a solution for Candle though?

Thank you!

I actually just started watching some of your laser tutorials since Im thinking of finally hooking that up. Great information in there. Thanks.

I have pretty much just used cheap endmills off of Amazon like you are saying. I did however buy a larger 1/4 size endmill that I really liked to do a lot of the initial clearing of the part. I have videos where I go over how I cut aluminum but it I would make one change to the videos it would be that I lowered the stepover amount from 40% to something like 20%. That way you can increase the speed of your cut from something like 100 to 500. It cuts much faster with way less chatter of the part. I also then cut .2mm instead of .1 when I decrease that stepover. Here is the link to the bit I was talking about. amzn.to/3sRV976

@@BusterBeagle3D Thanks Ryan, Ill look into these settings when experimenting, and thanks for the extension barrell, it arrived last week.

If your part is not conductive you are probing the vise to find your zero point. The copper tape is providing an inductive surface to the plastic so you can find the location of the vise and then through measurements find the location of the part.

@@BusterBeagle3D Ahhh that makes sense. But in both scenarios the alligator clips are still needed to complete the circuit you mention? What is the purpose behind this?

@@AidanSample Just so they can be attached and removed easily. One has to clip onto the bit and the other to the vise or part. You can use whatever you want as long as you can secure the connection.

@@BusterBeagle3D But why is the connection at the vise or part and but necessary to begin with? Also thanks for the replies your videos are awesome! just trying to understand everything that’s going on.

@@AidanSample You can use the vise without anything else if you like. The wire connections are for resetting your zero position on your machine so you know exactly where your part is in relation to the CNC Spindle and bit.

Just make sure you have a negative number for the Z in UGS. Otherwise it could either be your board or firmware that isn't allowing it to work.

@@BusterBeagle3D i changed it to negative. I posted on a Facebook page and that’s what one guy told me and it worked but now I’m having issues with the router going away from the material instead of to the center and I’ve tried using the rotate 90 degree button in ugs but that didn’t help even after using the reset zero button next to the rotation button

@@dirtbikedude2989 Are you resetting to zero before you run the probe? That could account for some irregularities if you are not.

@@BusterBeagle3D yes I reset all axis to zero before running the measure outside function

I’m using a 500W 52mm spindle with a dedicated speed controller. I’m sorry but I can’t remember the exact brand off the top of my head.

Hello. CAMBAM for Cam and Universal G Code Sender to send the tool path to the machine.

You are correct. I know this and I still messed it up. Corrected.
