In this video I demonstrate how to create a CNC project from start to finish, using the Axiom AR6 series CNC machine. The project itself is a handy zaxis touchoff puck holder which is meant to be mounted on the Axiom CNC machine. I begin by showing you how to create your project using Vectric VCarve Pro. After the project is designed in the CAD portion of the software, we switch to the CAM portion where we designate our toolpaths. This project is also applicable if you are running Aspire, VCarve Desktop, or Cut2D.

Once the project is completed and modeled in VCarve, we will run the actual toolpaths on the Axiom CNC machine, using the hand held RichAuto device, an extremely convenient method of running gcode without bringing a computer into the workshop!

To utilize the CA glue/painter's tape holddown method you will require the following items:

2P10 CA Glue: https://amzn.to/3QrJhDV
2P10 Spray Activator: https://amzn.to/3QFB13n
