Properly helpful! Thread milling was always one of those things that is oddly hidden/hard to do with other machines. When will threading bits be available? Now all we need to do is start a kickstarter to see if we can raise funds for a lamp for your room!
How come when I try to make threads that do not go through the whole stock, the bit looked like it will collide with the bottom of the bore. Do I have to make the bore slightly deeper with an offset to prevent that from happening? Im not sure how you do not have that problem when running the simulator. Also how can we determine the step over and number of passes when using different thread sizes?
Yes, we would suggest boring past your thread depth to avoid the collision. And in general, 0.3 mm is a good parameter for working with aluminum for step over. But we are adding additional threadmilling parameters to our speeds and feeds wiki for additional support: wiki.makera.com/en/speeds-and-feeds
Hi Roedolf Hoop dit goed. Is there any chance you can make a tutorial on how to use the 4th axis. I would like to cut a bush out of nylon. Would be helpful to see how to implement Fusion 360 on the 4th axis setting. Thanks!
Thank you. Your video was very helpful. I just have a question. Is your 'carvera' a Kickstarter product? Is the composition the same as the existing product sold?
Just ordered mine and CANNOT WAIT to get started!!! 🤩 Thanks for making a VERY COOL product.
Thank you for the support, Happy milling!

We aim to make the bits available end of the month. We are still doing some tests. Lamp comment duly noted:)

Hi Damian, yes this is definitely a have to and is on our to-do list of videos that we will create.
Can this be done in Vcarve (and the future CaveraCAM) as well?
Vcarve does support threadmilling, and you will be able to achieve this in CarveraCAM by using a contour/ramp to achieve the same results.
Awesome! And idea when the CAM software is coming out?
We are aiming to publish in the coming month of August.
Does anyone use Alibre instead of Fusion 360 or am I the only one?
Thank you. Your video was very helpful. I just have a question. Is your 'carvera' a Kickstarter product? Is the composition the same as the existing product sold?
Thank you. My machine is the existing product. There are some small internal improvements to the latest production models.
