I am using a Gen 2 Redline Foreman and getting a unique problem I never had with my X50 woodworker. I face with a 1/4” tool since ATC is not available yet, and I used to do the same with the X50. Settings are scaled way back so feed is slow and speed is high. Tram is excellent, bolts are tight. Usi…

Well I have 2 machines, one is the X50 woodworker, and that’s my only reference but it works perfectly with this kind of cut. I really hope this huge heavy thing is not weaker than my small machine. I am willing to go back to it with the electronics upgrade alone, although repacking and shipping wou…

You said you run the same exact file on the X50? Seems like you have a bunch of experience, so I don’t want to go over things you already know. When I pull and push on my spindle threads, I have to put a lot of pressure to get any flex and it’s small. You said you were seeing 20 thou front to bac…

Yes support is testing my file on their end trying to recreate it. If anyone has a gen 2 foreman and a 1/4” upcut bit I’d appreciate a facing attempt like this. I can share a file but it’s literally just a facing pass, or even just a single pass from left to right. I suspect it’s not the machine but…

Out of interest, as a fellow Fusion user, what toolpath were you using? I am not aware of Fusion having a raster tool path. I have used many others, including parallel and of coarse surfacing which cut a path similar to what you have shown. Also, what Feed rates were you when you mention in your or…

I was just borrowing the phrasing from that video to keep from switching terms, but at first I was using pocket which follows the shape of the object like the first photo, and then based on your suggestion with that IDC video I used facing paths set to 90 deg to the X axis, and then 0 degrees to the…

My visits were pre Gen2, and perhaps their policies have changed (maybe insurance on new leases) regarding letting the public into the production space. I ask a lot of questions, and I remember asking about the testing like you. I was told that the machines and controllers are tested as a set, so yo…

Yea could be that it changed, no hard feelings towards them if it’s a policy/insurance thing. I was really eager to see it because I’ve been a fan of this company for a while. For the test: I meant the entire power supply unit - I didn’t get the HMI, so the big black box with the emergency stop tha…

One other thought is maybe someone has a known good file that runs on their Gen2 you could try. Just a thought.

Is it possible these marks are showing up on the Gen2 because it’s more ridgid and didn’t show up on the x50 because it wasn’t as stout?

Facing toolpath is very rough
