I do experience a strange calmness when parts arrive :)
Yeah looks like plenty of travel. Also looked like the router could have gone down even further if needed. Now just need some time to start...
Makes sense now. Thanks. Just what I needed :)
Finally got home from work will look though it. Thanks for the help sir.
Looks like if the bottom of the z c-beam were level with the x C-Beam you might have a hard time getting enough downward z travel?
I figured the benefit would be more room under the z for taller materials and that dust collector WOULD move with the router bit up and down
Yeah I did step up and go to a 24v PS. So I will just have to play to see where the machine maxes out. One question I posted earlier was about...
Welcome back. Congratulations on the job. Looking forward to seeing your kit.
FredQ thanks for the pics! I was thinking of mostly using 1/4" bits but looks like feeds have to be very high for router speeds and 1/4" bits....
Yeah just have to take it at face value. Using feed speed calc app says with your set up you should be going a little slower at 20 ipm...might...
I think low speed on that router is 16k.
OK cool thanks
Main thing was just wanting to know at the right cutting depth if 60 ipm is a reasonable cutting speed for this machine.
Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys
Thanks Bob, My calc for feeds and speeds with the bit I would like to use say for 16k rpm (lowest speed of the dewalt router) I need to be...
Rick I updated my post based on your correction. Based on my math at 140 ipm you would have about 70 oz-in of torque...now just want to figure...
[IMG] So here is how I'm getting there correct me if I'm wrong. If you look at the rating for the motor it is set up based on half stepping. So...
That is my math based on what I could figure out based on some googling and looking at the small torque map on the stepper motors page on the open...
Here is what I came up with using Google and the phone calculator. Driving the stock Nema 23 motors with 24v and around 2 amps they should be...
I realize with each material there will have to be adjustments made to feeds and speeds. For example feed/speed calc for cutting aluminum is...
