I'm using the feeds and speeds recommended by Amana for the subjecct bit (46170-k). The chip load is recommended to be .001" in wood. That seems to me to be very lightly loaded. Any experience...

TMTronto and Ger21, thanks for the suggestions I'll look into that.

I need to do some slight undercutting with my CNC router on wood. Is it practical to use and milling bit to perform this task or are there better choices. Example is UNDERCUTTING END MILLS - 300°...

Would you like to share your idea with myself and the forum?

Is there a way to have Fusion automatically add a dwell after it starts the spindle? My spindle has a slow start ramp and isn’t up to speed when it begins to cut. I’m a little tired of editing...

Thanks Mactec54 and Servtec for the added input. I’m certainly going to go through the wiring and rework it. The router is an older K2 that was retrofit with new servo system and some mechanical...

I have had two instances were the servos driving the opposite sides of the y-axis drive at different rates and racking the gantry. So far I has able yo catch it with a estop before things got real...

I’d like to run this code at G54 then G55, G56, G57. . .G59. The output is from Fusion 360 for Mach3 machine controller. I’ve looked into a couple ways with M98 and subroutine calls without...

Thanks everyone. I rebooted the interfaces and the VFD a couple of times. Second time worked. I’m not certain why, but suspect I may have some signal / noise issues. Hopefully this doesn’t become...

I have a Delta VFD-B022b21a that won’t run my HSD spindle anymore. It’s been working for years without issue. When in freq. mode it reads 0 (I believe it should show input freq of 60). Remote and...

Newbie here, well on the learning curve, yet a ways to go. Here's my problem:

When I 'ref all home' everything works well (Mach 3). The Y axis is driven by two leadshine servo's (Y and Slave A)....

I hoping someone on the form hap this machine and would be able to take a picture of the original y axis drive configuration. Nobody ? :-(

I’m reworking a K2 router (4’ x 8’, KG9850-8-RO-VT). The machine was reworked before I purchased it. They added new servo motors (easy servo motor) and drives ( leadshine ). While doing this they...

Chris, no need to apologize. Your help is appreciated.

I think I found the video you were trying to find:

Homemade CNC X axis explained - YouTube

I can get some data from video, based on...

Chris,

Thanks for the response and link.

My question was not worded well. I stated x-axis, but I think I am causing some confusion. The 8 foot axis I am talking about is the gantry length,...

I'm considering using a 8' x-axis for my cnc router design. The design approach I have in mind will allow further expansion of the y-axis from 24" to 48" inches in the future (when I have the room)....
