Cad Cam Cut all in one software??? Star Lab cnc cutting another cool design.

I mainly made this video to question the marketing gimmick “Cad Cam Cut all in one software” I’m not saying it’s not a good concept, but a selling point??? I’d have to question that and especially if it comes with a higher price tag. As you’ll see in this video, even holding a camera in one hand, it’s not hard to navigate 3 separate programs. If you have any thoughts on this comment below and let us know what you think. Valuable feature, or marketing gimmick?

Maintaining your Linear rail system

Here we show you the basic maintenance on a Star Lab base model CNC system ( plasma ). The Star Lab system was engineered to use the smallest amount of maintenance possible.

Gantry Realignmnent
Gantry Realignmnent

If you should happen to knock the gantry out of square you can easily re-square the gantry by removing the end caps, loosening the gantry bolts and using the auto home switches to re-square the gantry. This is also a great time to go through and clean the rail and make sure everything is nice and tight.
