User questions & answers

Question:	What is the cost of the software and what do I need
Answer:	You can get free software. I grbl is free to convert STL to GCODE. Anything that can generate a STL file will work.
Question:	Does the 3018-prover come with clamps? i don't see any pictured or mentioned
Answer:	There are some basic clamps that use bolts placed in the t-track of the bed.
Question:	Second question. Can this be used as a pass through to do longer pieces than the surface? Making wood onlays. Need narrow, but longer than work area
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Is this too loud for someone living in an apartment? Is it quieter like a Dremel, or more like a more powerful power tool
Answer:	I have this in an apartment and I run it as part of a business. The noise level depends on what you are doing with it. When doing light engraving it's not too bad. However, when cutting/milling with a spiral up-cutting bit or doing a deeper v groove/engraving, it is quite loud and it is even louder now that I have the 20000 RPM spindle (highly recommended for proper feeds/speeds by the way). As Brian mentioned, the dust is an issue as well. To address both of these issues, I built an enclosure similar to the one by James Dean Designs; however mine is simpler and lined with pink insulation foam that I cut into sound foam with a larger V bit. This contains the dust and noise for the most part. I also had to put extra TPU feet under the machine inside the enclosure to dampen the vibrations. Even with these precautions I only run my PROVer during business hours for noise reasons. The only problem with the enclosure is that is makes it a bit difficult to reach the sockets in the back if you are going to be switching between and spindle and laser engraver. IF YOU BUILD AN ENCLOSURE BE SURE TO MOUNT THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON ON THE OUTSIDE.

User questions & answers

Question:	What would be the smallest size item one could feasible engrave on? Could I engrave a name on a pen
Answer:	the vise i received will open to 4.91inches with hard jaws mounted on inside positions of vise. with hard jaws removed the opening is 5.77 inches. with hard jaws mounted on outside positions opening is 10.94 inches. this vise is a versatile design. my mini mill is to small to take advantage of the full clamping range. but i am happy i chose the 4inch over the 3inch . the larger jaw area is more practical for using insert vises and collet blocks.
Question:	How thick of wood can it cut through
Answer:	No ... Was happy with the vise but gave it to my kid after getting a Kurt at a garage sale.
Question:	What bits, or bit sets, on Amazon would you recommend for this
Answer:	Hello,They are roughly 1-1/4" in height. The last photo on the product page should have all the dimensions you need for this item.Sincerely,HFS
Question:	I am interested in this machine but I need some more info as to how it connects to the computer and what kind of software is needed
Answer:	Vise itself is approx 3 and 3/4 inch thick; 6 and 3/4 wide; and 13 and 3/4 long. Base is about 1 1/4 thick by 8 long by 9 1/4 wide. a bit too big for an x2 mini mill type but can still be used
