* Nominal Cutting Area 250mm x 250mm x 50mm (~10" x 10" x 2")
* Max spindle speed: 12,000 RPM
** Note: PS1 provided tooling & feeds and speeds are based around a fixed 12,000 RPM spindle speed.
The spindle uses ER11 collets. These eventually wear out, so check before using them. Collets are a durable expendable.
Users are welcome to purchase their own collets and tools in case the PS1 provided ones are insufficient.

=== Using Vectric VCarve ===
The post processor for use is going to be Grbl (inch) or Grbl (mm) depending on your document units. Vector files in a variety of formats from a variety of softwares (e.g. Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Inkscape, AutoCAD, etc.) can be imported to Vectric VCarve.
Members can use the VCarve Pro Trial Edition from home to set up their parts and save as a .crv file. Files can only be posted from the Makerspace edition which we have at PS1.
GCode can be sent using Universal GCode Sender or Easel.

You will need to install the Easel post processor in order to get usable GCode from Fusion 360 to the Shapeoko. The post processor is available here:
