Hey Art,
Well, the first day I downloaded and installed the Vexx version it worked fine.  I tinkered around for a while, it was late in the day, and then closed out of the program.  My computer is on 24/7.  The next day I went back to open it up and that's when it wouldn't load.&nbsp ...

Cool.  Thanks.

As a side note...since I've downloaded the most recent version of Gearotic I keep getting Improper Shutdown Detected.  I clicked no the first time I got the warning and it worked fine.  Then the next day I got the same warning and the program wouldn't run.  I get ...

Very neat stuff.  So, here is my first question, forgive me if it is a stupid one.

Since Vexx can import a gear design from Gearotic, all lined up neatly in a working set up, would it be possible in Vexx to design a creative box around the arbors and then just export that box design for the ...

Awesome.  I'll have to find some time this weekend to play around with it.

Thanks.  Looking forward to the Vexx release and associated video tutorial.

Looking forward to the Vexx update!  Life seems to wobble around with hobbies and projects around here.  I tend to spend a lot of time playing with Gearotic and making projects and then get pulled away for a few months....and then for whatever reason the bug hits again and I'm back making ...

Mark;

I does work for shorter cut times, however make sure you allow some air back into your shop vac line. Failure to do so will likely burn out your shop vac prematurely.

Mine isn't that tight, but I was thinking about an adjustable valve to regulate it a bit.  Good point ...

I was thinking about making a small vacuum hold down fixture like the one in the following video at 2:45 minutes.  It looks like it's double sided and can be placed anywhere on a smooth surface.  Not sure what kind of pump to use, perhaps a tiny $25.00 shop vac?

This past weekend I put together a very simple vacuum table using pegboard for my Solsylva CNC.  I haven't cut anything on it yet but it seems to hold extremely well.  Here's the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUN1B7xjeN8

Sounds good.  Looking forward to seeing it.  I purchased Clayton's Zinnia a while ago primarily to see how the mechanism worked.  I cut much of it on a small 3040 CNC, scaled way down, and will eventually get to it's assembly.  Over the last few months I built a larger Solsylva ...
