Re: feature Suggestion

First thing I would do is adjust or tune up your saw, so that it cuts square. I prefer to make crosscuts on my table saw, with a sliding cutoff jig. Much more precise than a miter saw, and better cut quality. If I were in your position, I'd create a program in my typical cam software that you could ...

Re: JointCAM on X-Carve

If you email me at support at g-forcecnc.com, I can help you setup JointCAM to work with an X Carve. I know there are a few X Carve owners using JointCAM, but will have to do a little research to get the correct info.

Nice job. First time I've seen anyone using the mortise and tenon feature.

Re: Test Version 0.9.0.20 - with rounded box joints

In JointCAM, you literally just enter the size of your boards, the size of the fingers, and check a checkbox. That's all that's required to make this joint.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been having some issues with my email lately and didn't get a notification.

Re: Shopbot Desktop max new owner

If you want to save money, look at all the videos on Youtube of people cutting dovetails, and look closely at the fixtures they've made.

Buying the Shopbot fixture is going to be a much easier route, but also the most costly.

Here's a fixture that Gary at CNC Zone built, based on a Leigh dovetail jig.

According to this, helical arcs are supported, as I suspected.

Re: New to this site

Sorry, I missed this post. According to this list of supported g-codes, JointCAm produced code should run fine. https://docs.carbide3d.com/software-faq/list-of-supported-gcodes/ JointCAM uses very basic g-codes, G0, G1, G2, and G3. It does use helical G2/G3 moves when plunging into mortises, but I w...

New Version Available

I just uploaded a new JointCAM update, Version 1.0.0.8.
For those that create separate roughing and dovetail files, this version greatly simplifies the process, allowing you to select which toolpaths to export .

Re: Zeroing

The file "pin.nc" is actually the same file as the "tail.nc" file.
So I don't have your actual "pin" board file.

However, just looking at the picture, it looks like you are setting your X zero on the outside of the vertical board. It needs to be on the Inside.
I think that will fix the problem.

Re: error

1) Make sure you have the latest version of JointCAM.

2) if you are using a "," comma for the decimal separator, make sure every single input box in JointCAM uses commas, and not decimal points "."

Re: Zeroing

If you are cutting both pin and tail boards together, the board on the table needs to be offset from the vertical board, or they won't line up. The offset amount is displayed on the screen in JointCAM. Trying to cut half blind dovetails, looks like the tail aren't rounding enough to fit the pins. Ca...

Re: Unusual bug in 'custom thru dovetail'

I just uploaded a new version that fixes this issue. It was actually simpler than I thought. I do some math to calculate the number of passes. It was combing back as 0.5, which was changed to 0 when converting to an integer number. I've ran into this before, and just need to check that if the number...

Re: Unusual bug in 'custom thru dovetail'

I don't have the code with me, but I think I know what the issue is here. During development, I usually start with one joint (left or right, and usually Y axis). Then I copy the code and modify it for the mirrored side, and X axis. It looks like where the path deviates, I changed the X coordinate in...
