Hi,
Just getting started, in planning stages now.
I have my eye on a Shapeoko XL. Any feedback on this machine?
I am training on the Carbon Create (Shapeoko software) and have run into a problem which brings up a question:
How narrow a piece of wood can you set up in this CNC router? What I want to do is turn an (actual size) 3/4" by 1-1/4" piece on the 3/4" edge to drill a hole (clamped).
Yet when I try to set the job up in CC and put stock size of .75 in. by 12" (the length of the board) the 0.75 in. keeps defaulting to 0.9899. Does this mean I am limited to 1" wood or wider? If so, is there a way around this?
Any help appreciated!
