EASEL vs CARBIDE CREATE for CNC Routers

[@SethCNC]

Oh no! I skipped setting the easel one to cut outside the line 🤦‍♂️

[@JohnColgan.]

Well you are only human! Could that account for the 5k difference in lines ?

[@JohnColgan.]

But still a CNC God!

@@JohnColgan. haha, u know I don't like those all entitled names... I'm just a cnc addict willing to share everything I've learned along the journey 🤪 Side note though. This masuter Z doesn't actually have a antibacklash device 😳 just 2 brass nuts, once worn they'd need to be manually retightened, I thought they were spring loaded like the 3018 is 🤷‍♂️ Which means once the brass wears, it will have backlash/slop 🤦‍♂️

[@JohnColgan.]

Might have been worth carving both out (maybe on a neutral CNC) and compare carve quality & accuracy?

[@BillYovino]

I use both. Somethings are easier to do in Easel and some are easier in Carbide Create.

Which one do you like best

[@SethCNC]

I mean I've tried CC a bunch of times and if you're not trying to turn a profit, where the $20 investment for easel doesn't make sense, the CC free version still allows the use of vbits, that said. If there's $20 a month in the budget, easel makes things go a lot faster, I can save at least 4 hours a week using easel vs CC which makes Easel well worth that $20 a month IMO.

@@SethCNC for that price per month wouldn't Vcarve be better?
