Easel 2 stages carving

Easel

HI,

i’m new for CNC and this EASEL. I saw a video that a guy uses 2 stages for carving by using beta features in the advanced setting. But mine has only enable pinning shapes.

Can you guys help me to get the two stages setting?

I thought 2 stages mean is changing bit during the curving.

If not, there is a way to change bits during curving?
When I used V bits it take way more time than END mill bits.
I want to use a END mill bit first and change to V bit for the detail parts.

Is there a way to do this with EASEL?

Just like Haldor said click on that + sign and you can add a second bit. Just make the first bit your endmill and second bit the vbit for the detail work.

How do you keep the router in the same place while changing bits. Mine moved 2 inches.!

  • Make sure your GRBL parameter $1=255 (Always full current, maximum holding torque)
  • Open up your Xcontroller, locate the three red switch blocks, set each switch #4 to OFF
  • Dont man-handle the router :wink:
