I would like to batch out some catch all trays for a Vet’s charity event - I will need between 20 & 25. I’ve looked at what I could find on the topic here and the threads I find are discussing the buidbotics (sp??) controller or generating the G-Code, and copying for each position on the table the new preset on the Masso G54 - 9 coordinates I think it was and then running that G-Code.
Can someone explain a couple steps please or point me to a video / thread / discussion with examples that specifically demonstrate step by step using the Masso controller.
I have 3 or 4 bit changes for these catch all trays, there is a flag carved at the bottom - this is for a Veterans event in April - I’d love to be able to get all the bowl carving done in 1 pass, then the EM’s and finally the v-carves…
Thanks in advance!
Thanks WC_CUSTOMS!
I’m running Vcarve pro - what you describe is what I want to do - run tool #1 on all parts, tool #2, etc
But it seems there should be a easier way besides editing the G-Code - I used to do software development and anytime you mess with code, there are risks. I’d rather let the O/S (Masso) deal with it if possible. If not - I’ll just be super careful and take a couple backups 
I thought of that too - but I’m trying to force myself to learn the “right” ways vs hacks that I invent that may or may not produce good results
I salute you for trying to learn a new method.
You might be better to do the entire project in G54, and use a linear pattern instead of different work offsets.
You’ll have a single XYZ0 position for all units, but the program will run each one side by side in a grid pattern. To me, that is the most professional way to program a repeat part like that. it’s also easier to nest them as close together as possible. I assume V-Carve has that functionality built in.
I would save the work offsets for situations where the programs at each WCS are different. Like an OP2 hole on the backside of the part or something. Or when you are using two different vices or something.
Either way you are bound to level up your programming knowledge!
NYC CNC has great videos on work offsets.
Thanks guys! Have some work and learning to do!
Vcarve Pro has the ability to do an array copy of either vectors or tool paths, which should accomplish what you want
