Yes- changing R8 collets and tools sucks. Get you some TTS holders, even if you don't use them for offsets, quick-change tooling is everything....
I do intend on at least exploring the options when it comes to an ER20 ATC on M4. I have some ideas that don't involve trying to stall the spindle...
I thought about horizontal dual-X gantries on mine, but I didn't want to buy four more linear rails for a proper central-column system (though it...
I wish the machine itself could take anywhere near the power that it can put through (like 20HP/15kW for BT30 I think?), but I doubt I'd be using...
Lest anyone be under the impression that this has fallen by the wayside due to my above slight negativity (which I stand by), it certainly has...
Haha, I was like hmmm, I recognise that name from somewhere.... :D And fwiw, @terjeio, I'd like to see this little discussion thread that Phil...
:eek: You must be Welcome!
I wouldn't say no out of hand- it's not really substantially different to using toolholders of different gauge lengths in toolchanging spindles,...
Oh, that makes sense. I don't have anything flexible enough for that to happen yet, I'll have to keep an eye out.
Yeah, almost seems like there's too much force and it's causing a racking jam- not necessarily between the rails though it's possible, more...
Only thing I can think of is linear rail alignment issues- they need to be parallel along the whole length to around 0.01mm or less to run...
F-150s cower at the sight of a 2008 Town and Country. :ROFL:
Yeah, I was browsing the wiki before/during posting, so I saw most of that as I referenced it in the post. It seems like more of a higher-spec,...
I'm actually up for a discussion of grblHAL about now, as it happens. Not for a machining center specifically, but for, let's say, a generic...
The other thing, if the spoilboard is flat and the machine is square and tight, is to zero Z off the spoilboard, not the material. As Peter says,...
Is it consistently the same places? Seems like a) your spoilboard is warping after flattening, perhaps due to humidity, b) your machine simply...
Is it replicable? Probably hard to tell anything definitive without seeing the g-code around where it happened and a serial log of the period...
Is smoothing turned on in Fusion? Ideally you want more G2/G3s and fewer G1s for circular toolpaths. grbl may be getting swamped by too many short...
This is a sign of very low backlash, not a sign of good calibration- even if your steps/mm were off by a factor of ten, if you have good...
No, backlash would be pretty consistent under the same cutting conditions- that's why on controllers more advanced than grbl you can actually...
