Yes, I have the same problem. lol I've ordered some Macor and will try it out. I have a special requirement for a tooling fixture I'm making...
That price is for 100mm x 100mm, not a square metre. It's very expensive stuff.
There's lots of info on the web on practical machining of Macor, which is a machinable ceramic. Has anyone here had personal experience with this?
@Shadow39 Nice build! I'm having a hard time picturing where you plan to attach the extra X-gantry plate. Sounds interesting. Could you draw a...
As a matter of a fact yes. I put an extra temporary beam on the gantry to have the same cantilever as the spindle mount, but all forces are...
Nice find. Thanks.
I completely agree with you. I was hoping someone else could perform this test so I could compare it to what I got in case I've incorrectly...
I was doing a test on my C-beam machine to check how much it deflects/rotates due to the weight of the router/spindle. I have the Bosch Colt. (I...
Brandon, If you go only by the stepper motor then... 200 steps per revolution, but assume you use microstepping of 4:1. So that's 800 effective...
Fred and Bob (and anyone else that wants to chime in), for your aluminum cuts are you using AlTiN coated bits? Also would be interested in...
Same question... As a reference what router/spindle did you use, and how many RPM?
As a reference what router/spindle did you use, and how many RPM?
That's some cool data. But it's still very dependent on the tool itself. I agree with Bob. Trying it yourself will yield more accurate data than...
Even with knowing the chip load of 0.002 and all other relevant parameters including speed, I'm not familiar with the chart or equation that tells...
I believe you are leaving one important thing out. You'll notice on the torque curve the attainable PPS depends on the load. So first you need to...
That's what I was afraid of. Can I spin the bit on a lathe or even a drill press and remove some shank diameter with a wet stone? Would only need...
Thanks. :)
I need some advice since I'm new to this... Say I have an end mill tool that has a shank diameter the same as the cutting diameter, and a cutting...
Yes Elaire seems to have the collets, but I might opt for a spindle with an ER11 collet anyway.
I'm looking to purchase a spindle rather than use the Colt router that I have. I see lots of these on Amazon, ranging from 400 W air cooled to 2.2...
