* Nominal Cutting Area 250mm x 250mm x 50mm (~10" x 10" x 2") | |||
* Max spindle speed: 12,000 RPM | |||
** Note: PS1 provided tooling & feeds and speeds are based around a fixed 12,000 RPM spindle speed. | |||
The spindle uses ER11 collets. These eventually wear out, so check before using them. Collets are a durable expendable. | |||
Users are welcome to purchase their own collets and tools in case the PS1 provided ones are insufficient. | |||

* Use 14mm wrenches (in the black bag) to tighten the collet. You don't need to over-tighten the collet - hand tighten, not gorilla tighten. | * Use 14mm wrenches (in the black bag) to tighten the collet. You don't need to over-tighten the collet - hand tighten, not gorilla tighten. | ||
===Using Fusion 360=== | === Using Vectric VCarve === | ||
The post processor for use is going to be Grbl (inch) or Grbl (mm) depending on your document units. Vector files in a variety of formats from a variety of softwares (e.g. Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Inkscape, AutoCAD, etc.) can be imported to Vectric VCarve. | |||
Members can use the VCarve Pro Trial Edition from home to set up their parts and save as a .crv file. Files can only be posted from the Makerspace edition which we have at PS1. | |||
GCode can be sent using Universal GCode Sender or Easel. | |||
=== Using Fusion 360 === | |||
You will need to install the Easel post processor in order to get usable GCode from Fusion 360 to the Shapeoko. The post processor is available here: | You will need to install the Easel post processor in order to get usable GCode from Fusion 360 to the Shapeoko. The post processor is available here: | ||
