Alright! So to simply recapitulate; the calibrated steps/mm without any load can just be used, right? Secondly, I'll check for endmill specs....
that's basicly how I had calibrated X and Y, so I'm guessing it must be tool/spindle/machine deflection that caused the cut to be undersized?
Good thing you mention it, I'm still 'learning' my feeds & speeds. I used a cheap chinese 4 flute 1,5mm endmill with a 6mm shaft and 4mm long...
but aren't I limited by the precision of my hands this way? meaning, how close I can stick a tape or measure the difference afterwards? I'll be...
Hey guys, first time poster here. I used the tutorial of Martin Barfoed to set the steps/mm for my minimill. The steps seemed to be set right,...
Well, just make sure your spindle mount is out of the way of the screws for your linear rail carriages. Then it's just Spindle mount (from the...
Looks great! but I'd remove the lower corner brackets, shift the spindle mount down (this way you can mount the assembly higher to the X-beam,...
Oh, too bad! Thanks anyway friend :) Guess it'll be a journey I'll have to tackle by myself then
Hey Rick, do you have any source to where I might find your "minimill additions"? Every post about the minimill, I see you adding great solutions...
That looks awesome! Got some detailed pics? :)
Whilst building the minimill (or rather the enclosure it's going to sit in) after I've mounted the mill to a thick steel slab, I noticed one wheel...
Perhaps a stupid question, but any reason a (temporary) version couldn't be 3d printed with a captive nylock nut?
I've decided to add a Cbeam XL gantry plate :) Now for ordering and finishing up. I saw they're used on the LEAD, C-Beam,... machines, so it would...
Was just wondering, is it possible to use a smaller Z-plate to win some machining height? Perhaps something with wheels on the in- and outside to...
Hey Joe, did you design the 3d printed mounts for the bellows yourself? Any chance you could help a guy out with a model? How'd you mount it to...
