Proprietary files are a PITA and lead to people going with other options. Better off IMO to go with standard motion programs that load files from any design CAD program. Hopefully the makers of Carbide Motion will learn that and make it so that standard files can be used with it.

Good video for beginners. The Carbide Create is changing very fast and some functions like the tool library have changed function and location as well as how to edit them. I have your spoilboard and fence design as well as the cam clamps. I like your design and highly recommend using your design. Keep up the good work. I also subscribe to your youtube channel. In your workshop tour video you mentioned that you have stopped making your colored pencil bowls due to health reasons. Perhaps a good video on Shapeoko dust collection and safety with the CNC would be a good subject for a future video. Thanks

Thanks for the video. The problem I have is not that the plunge loses depth, but that it seems to not pull back far enough and eventually starts machining the waste board. It's actually got a lot worse since fitting the Dust Boot. All belts seem tight enough.

Hi, watched a bunch of your videos before I purchased the shapeoko 3 xxl ( much appreciate your videos also ) and have been using carbide create but seems very limited and im not getting accurate passes all the time. Is there a software out there that is better for cutting v grove letters and making small signs ? i looked at v carve pro but yah price is a concern for my pocket alltho looks very nice. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. forgot to ask also is there a good forums out there for the shapeoko thats worth the time ? Thanks Again
