Carbide motion Feature request Spindle reminder

Feature Request Carbide Motion
1

Just switched from Carbide Router to the Carbide3d spindle. I love the spindle, but have trouble getting the process flow going. A couple of times I have forgotten to hit the enable button on the VFD box. A reminder would be nice. Or a warning if the VFD box sends anything back to the controller. (I guess I got used to hitting the enable on Bitrunner when it asked for the rpms). I am focussing on getting sweepy put on.

Oh, and one more thing… it might be nice to have a message on the 65 mm spindle when ordered, to tell folks may need to get the Deep Sweepy for it. Would have been nice to have ordered it when I ordered the spindle. Now just trying to figure out what else I might need to get free shipping. (with you had extra ER-16 nuts on there, so I could dedicate one for each size collet)

Thanks

The new ER-16 spindle has a longer body, so the Deep Sweep is not really necessary anymore unless you’re running longer cutters.

I have a few longer cutters, that seem to put the clamp off the edge. I also need to 3D print the screw keeper so the clamp doesn’t back out.

I’d personally like a pause at the material X and Y zero point before the spindle starts to set the height of the Sweepy Pro before cutting starts.

You can never have enough options for workholding. If you haven’t already, pick up the Crush-It Essentials kit.
