So how have things been going with the Mogul so far?
I am seriously considering one of these but I have some reservations as many before me have....
@amidnightproject You said you ordered one last sept, how has your been for you? What size did you buy?
There is this ridiculous website that was created by someone who I think based on the amount of content could be argued to have a screw loose himself.

He also address the "stolen" software issue. A few commented earlier in this thread how unbelievable it is that the CNC came with Aspire. Currently on the mogul website they say the machine comes with no software.
Thoughts anyone?

Honestly, There are roughly 300 users in the private facebook group and no one seems to have any of those horrible issues.LifeisRiding wrote:So how have things been going with the Mogul so far?

Yes, if you yard on the z axis the machine will deflect. He also doesn't have the gantry upgrade in that animated gif to help stiffen things up.
I gotta say, even though I've had a few issues (burnt out power supply, static issues and phantom limit pulses) I like the machine. It does what it is supposed to do and it didn't cost me 8k.
All in all I'm happy with it. I have the 3x8 machine.

Try 2 rail sweep
[quote="JukeSnowboarding"]@MontuckyMadman I have no idea if this is the best way to go about this, but for my first time trying to profile the core I used this flute cut.
This was something I just did really quickly so the measurements do not line up, but I figured out where I wanted my profile to occur then drew a line. After that I used the multiple array tool. This allowed me to copy my line and also set the spacing so that the bit I was using would overlap cuts.
Not sure if 2 rail sweep is supported by Aspire 3 but it is in version 4. Vectric has very good tutorials online and an active forum. Don't try to join if the software is pirated.

Then I chose the flute depth and correct tool, and ramped over the length of my lines to get a consistent cut to the nose and tail.
Im not sure if that gives you a better idea. And I am open to any and all suggestions, I was trying to see if the machine could do a profile and this was the method I came up with.
Also idk if any of you will find this helpful, but Sean over at Donek shared this with me and it has helped me understand varying bit information.
