I suggest contacting Vectric directly to ask if they can provide a link for downloading any images you missed...by TimS - Handibot Forum
If you're new to CNC and would like some free art files for use with VCarve (and thus with your handibot), here's a free promotion that just started: Vectric (publishers of VCarve) has an advent calendar that will feature one piece of art per day for the 24 days leading up to Christmas. Full details at: http://www.vectric.com/seasonal/2013/advent-calendar.htmlby TimS - Handibot Forum
Vectric has a YouTube channel with lots of tutorials on using VCarve…some cover drawing and others cover converting those drawings into the various types of toolpaths. You can also find tutorials on their macon web site, but their YouTube channel is probably easier to find.by TimS - Handibot Forum
Tim Flugum, ShopBot has a help file posted on their site with a list of key equivalents. I stumbled onto the ability to change the feed rate on the fly while browsing that list. You can also change the RPM on the bigger bots with a different key equivalent (assuming the bigger bot in question has the right controller). You can find the full list at: ShopBot Keyboard shortcuts Iby TimS - Handibot Forum
David, That's the best news I've heard in a long time! Thank you! Tim S.by TimS - Handibot Forum
Marc, The default values in V-Carve's database are just place holders. If you watch the video tutorials on Vectric's site, you'll hear them say that over and over. You need to either know the recommended chip load for your bit or be able to figure it out experimentally. The better bit vendors post chip loads but even then it's usually a range where the upper limit canby TimS - Handibot Forum
I run Parallels on a MacBook Pro with fine performance. Used to run it on a much older MacBook Pro and also had fine performance (circa early 2009 MacBook Pro). The key is to bump up the RAM as far as you can. MacOS X likes to have some elbow room. So does Windows. If you're trying to squeeze both operating systems into the default 4GB of memory, you'll spend forever watching VMby TimS - Handibot Forum
For driving the handibot, I have an Acer tablet and an external USB hub to make up for the lack of ports. For drawing and creating tool paths, I rely on an all-in-one desktop with a large screen. While it's easy to zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, having a large screen is a big boost to productivity when creating a large and/or complex project.by TimS - Handibot Forum
I find experienced operators are reluctant to give feeds/speeds. They've long since learned the value of well-made bits and know those can be pushed harder than cheap, big-box bits. They're also careful to make sure they're working with sharp bits…a dull bit can't be pushed as hard and somebody watching costs likely can't cut as fast (due to dull and/or cheap bits).by TimS - Handibot Forum
Vectric offers a variety of tutorials for VCarve at: You can also find a walk-thru project I did for Instructables last year using VCarve and a ShopBot to create a lighted holiday lawn/house ornament. It's a bit large for a handibot (though the software's tiling feature should be able to handle this easily). It includes lots of screen shots to help show yet another way of usiby TimS - Handibot Forum
