I am looking about for a better set of printer electronics. (I have a heavily modified 400x400mm CR10S with it's 2560 based board and integral...
Thanks! I've just been playing with estlcam actually - it seems very good once you get over the lack of clarity in the interface and the way the...
that looks encouraging what software are you using to create a trochoidal profile path? did you use a lubricant? what do you consider a...
hmm, pretty sure I didn't get an actual manual with useful info like that. I never realised it was missing.
I was wondering about a narrow nozzle - maybe 10mm at the tip, very close to the bit and attached to the router clamp - that could be used to push...
Is it possible to create a sufficiently focused suction to suck the chips out of the way and avoid blowing them all over the shop? I realise it is...
these last two posts seem like contradictory advice to me. CNCMD - your settings are very close to what i did except for the rpm. Your settings...
IIRC my settings on the failed aluminium cut were 3mm 2 flute up cut 600mm/m about 2 on the makita. (12-15000rpm??) 0.4mm depth of cut It still...
yes I've bought the 1/8 collet and some bits from ooznest, I didn't realise that actually is the Elaire collet. It arrived today and the collet...
right I get the idea, and I will try it. For cutting out the outside of a part out of a sheet, how much bigger than the tool should the slot be to...
screwdriven workbee, makita 700 router. Bought for wood carving, but of course now I have it I'm thinking of loads of aluminium parts I would...
I wasn't regarding it as coolant, but as lubricant, preventing heat rather than dispersing it - and helping the chips to release rather than...
My first attempt at cutting aluminium highlighted the need for a lubricant. Though i might have gotten away with it if my cutter had been new and...
yes it hadn't occurred to me that the screws needed lubricating, but I have the delrin nuts and the screws still have their film of oil from new....
thanks, that seems consistent with what I'm finding. do you mean depth or overlap? for a 3mm bit cutting at only 1.5mm deep seems very shallow....
I wonder if some of the products designed for bicycle chains would work. seems to me the requirements are similar. many of those include teflon...
So I have attempted my first cuts. It's rather frustrating. settings were not much better than a guess - something like 10000rpm, 2 flute 3mm...
There's also a tiny UGS niggle, on Linux Mint 19 it doesn't communicate with the arduino unless run as root. That's obviously a permissions issue...
I got the workbee to draw an outline with a pen with the hoped-for results. now I'm trying to work out speeds to try actually cutting something....
I wondered that too - it's a sensible guess since that's the only configuration not listed. I haven't seen any actual mention of it anywhere...
