AR8 Elite How to?

[panthera]

Dear All, I’m pretty new to the axiom machine world, I’m sorry if what I am going to ask here was already covered in other forums, if so please direct me there for answers. Thank you:

1) I have an AR8 Elite with Richauto B58 Controller,
Is it possible to check the remaining machining time from the Controller while the file is running ( During machining)?

2) Is it possible to continuously run a machine non stop if I have let’s say two tool paths which will machine consecutively and using the same bit?
I am using V-carve Aspire for all my designs.

Thank you.

I don’t think you can see actual time during running.

As far as the same tool for different paths-
Yes in aspire you can check both tool paths and save into one file. Depending on what your doing though it could make the file very long.
I have a ar16 and I group my simple shape that use a 1/8 endmill all the time
