Re: Need some clarity around CMCs.

Yes, my PC handles the CMC software and the email client plus Skype being open at the same time.

However, having said that. I really do not do any email work or surf the net when designing / cutting mounts.
I can multi task normally but not to that extent. :xcomputer:

Re: Need some clarity around CMCs.

I can only speak for Valiani - I am sure other manufacturers will be along shortly. We do not tie you into having another dedicated PC. We fully understand that many homes / business have at least one PC running in house software. Whilst not recommended, I have seen CMC's running from a Laptop. My o...

Re: WANTED: GUNNAR CMC -Preferably with associated equipment

I cannot speak for other CMC software packages

I have a Valiani using V-Studio and I use a vector graphics package producing .PLT extensions to design and cut.

Re: oval cut using Valiani CMC

Mark. Can you send your CMC serial number please.
The reason is if the machine is before 2007 there is not a screw regulator on the back of the Y arm.
See Photo.

Re: medal cleaning

Be very careful. Nearly all metal polish is abrasive to some extent.
Also do not get any cleaner on the ribbons.

Try using a rubber pencil eraser. Takes a long time though and difficult to get into the area around any text.

Re: Compressor and computer for CMC

Go for a desktop type PC rather than a Laptop.

The power supply is more stable and you will not get system freezes.

Also if you can, Do not put the compressor and the computer on the same electrical spur.
The sudden surge of power when the compressor activates can cause PC lock up

Re: Valiani green head cleaning

How old is the wheel?
Agree with what Mark said.
Also look for it wearing on the shoulders/outer edges. This will cause an indention on the mount surface as well.

If you are finding an indent on the mount and you do not have a spare wheel to hand. Just back off the pressure to the head a little
