Assuming the machine is all good mechanically, then I would have thought that, if it's a single depth of cut, (for example, depth req = 0.5mm and...
Yes, I assumed you were talking lathe or milling, metalworking use. Can you not do what you suggested, but add a retaining strip across the front...
Swarf getting in the collet slits wouldn't be desirable and annoying to clean properly
Yes, that what he means - wood or acrylic.
The "bushings"? Do you mean the carbon brushes? If so.... I've never owned a De Walt product so can't comment. For me, it's a Makita and, as it...
It's something you need to change in GRBL. Vectric is not affected.
He may be thinking of a Makita? On a Makita, 3.5 is around 19,500.
When you import an STL file into sketchup, you must click "options" (under the preview window) and set it to "millimetres - you can't assume it...
I've routed a few PCB's over time on my 1010 CNC. I use OpenCNCpilot for my toolpathing etc - the software also has the autoleveling feature to...
Not sure I understand you fully Chris but are you trying to route a PCB using a regular 0.8mm straight shaft cutter? What you need is a V shaped...
I highlighted this problem a couple of years ago - and yes there is very little "meat" on the washers to sit against the counterbores of the nut...
If you want to construct a homebuilt type machine, then knowledge and in particular, the acquisition of knowledge cannot be overstated. The more...
Feed rate = chip load x RPM x number of flutes. Your spindle speed (RPM) and chip load should be appropriate for the material you're cutting. You...
This is really weird. If wires are breaking at that rate on a virtually unused machine, something is seriously amiss - some considerable stress...
Its nothing unusual, Mine have been like that for about 3 years and I have no tensioning system (maybe will eventually?). My workpieces are cut...
Agree with that! Got me a South Bend lathe about 6 years ago and wondered how i ever managed without it.
I'm pretty much in Giarc's ballpark numbers as well. Although I consult the chip formulas, they are definitely geared towards industrial machines....
There's a youtube video from Avid cnc that goes through customising the shoe for different routers - not seen it myself but have you looked?
Shut off the power supply then turn the flexible coupling (or lead screw) on the right side by about 1/8th of a turn and check again.
