CNC Router Tips Podcast Episode 51
CNCRT 51: WHAT"S NEW IN VECTRIC ASPIRE V9?
Bill Griggs talks about what's new in Vectric Aspire V9. Vectric just released it's newest version of all their software including V9 of Aspire. We take a look at the 6 new major features and several minor features that were added to the V9 release.
Vectric focused on making the drawing process easier, more powerful and quicker for the user by adding these six new features.
2 sided capabilities - Create two sided jobs and visualize them in the same session.
Smart cursor - A much easier way of drawing and aligning objects to geometry
Quick keys - Adds precision to your shape by allowing typed values while creating geometry
Turn & spin -The turn tool takes a profile and turns it, like a potter’s wheel. the spin tool is similar but rather than the profile being rotated along the horizontal line, the profile is rotated about the vertical line
Array copy toolpath - You can duplicate one or more toolpaths as a block based on the dimensions you enter in its properties
Mirror mode - Allows you to define a component level so that it mirrors all its components. one way of thinking is that you can place virtual mirrors in the center of your job, vertically and/or horizontally.

CNCRT 50: CNCNUTZ WITH PETER PASSUELLO
CNC Youtube Content Creator
In this 50th episode of CNC Router Tips Podcast we talk with CNCNutz Peter Passello from Greymouth New Zealand. Peter is a CNC Youtube content creator and a very innovative inventor.
Bill Griggs celebrates his 50th episode by interviewing long time online friend Peter Passuello. We discuss the similarity of how we got into CNC even though we are half way around the world from each other.
Peter Passuello began his CNC Journey by building his first machine himself. He used locally available materials to substitute for hard to get parts. Being located on an island country makes getting parts expensive and difficult.
