Hello,

We have had no issues with our router until earlier this week, Thanks southern california edison! . Anyway their high incoming voltage caused the W or z axis servo drive to throw a fault...

I know your post is old did u get it running ?

The cn12 controller is pretty cool. Being european it's not the most intuitive but I have a pretty good handle on how it works . The spoil board question I had earlier was answered by reading the...

The machine came with masterworks , and mastercabinet. Supposedly mastercabinet is a flat table configuration program,where masterworks is really the pod and rail cnc control.

It looks like the...

Gerry,
Merry Christmas!

The machine is all set up, I decided to have masterwood parts and service come out and go through the machine with me. The amount of work we have going would have made...

I would start off small and cheap. There Is a learning curve to the machine and the cam/cad software, my take is why screw up nice bits.

Always use solid carbide. You can get a cheap 1/4" up cut...

Gerry,

I had some time today to power up the machine and start checking out what it's all about.
It uses the CN12 controller on an HP pc that's inside the goofy looking cabinet. I am very sure...

Techno Educational Division | Servo Tabletop CNC Router, CNC Mill.

It looks like it has changed, but stills current model.

I would call them they are very helpful.

I would see if you can't find the acceleration curve in the Vfd manual, that might be the cause of your problem, I had an over current fault on my new spindle when I had the curve programmed wrong. ...

Good Morning,

I am not sure how the VR 510 has the spindle mounted to z axis linear guides, but I would start with checking the spindle to monting plate bolts. I have had issues on the small...

Gerry,
Forgot to mention I am programming the parts and run the machine. I input all the cabinet sizes in the software, nest them and take them on a USB drive to the machine. I usually go in early,...

Gerry,

Right now I do about 5 hour with the very limited camwood we have, to speed things up I use a construction line boring machine for dowels and a line boring machien for the shelves. I had to...

Hello,

Here's a question maybe someone on here can answer . We just upgraded our router to a masterwood project 315. It has just about everything but cup holders you can get on a flat table...

I use a thum/USB drive to transfer from the cad/cam computer to the machine in the shop .

You can save commonly used files,or really any .nc file txt file on the computer you run the machine...

That would do a really good job of setting the spindle square to the table.
I might just get one

Jon

You'll be better off with. 3 phase input. The power of the spindle is derated when you use the Vfd with single phase input.

I happen to like Mach it's easy to run easy to set up, and you can run it with an older desktop pc via the parallel port (printer) there are options to run it from USB in a smooth stepper set up, but...

Here is a chip load chart to look at its in inches etc. you need to get the chip load down to like .004 that's per flute . My guess is your bit is getting plugged with fine dust.

We use bits like this one for solid wood.

What does your inverter say for rpm or HZ?
6 passes is a lot of passes

Are you trying to cut in one pass?

That little spindle would take 3 passes to do 19mm of thickness

Are you trying to cut in one pass?

That little spindle would take 3 passes to do 19mm of thickness

The software your using for generating your g code should have some options in the post processor for setting the traverse speed and your cut speed.

Mach is pretty handy for viewing the g code ,...

Hello,

The way we do it is something like this
We pre seal the piece so nothing penetrates it. This is usually done with a lacquer . My finisher then mixes the particular color by using paint...

What type of wood are you cutting ? And what size bit feed rate rpm nd number of passes?

We use solid carbide compression type bits for most wood.
You have to look at chip load . Faster rpm on the spindle isn't always better. The goal to have the waste from cutting be small chips of...

Hello,

I don't believe that you can , what inverter is connected to the other end of the key pad. If you have the model of it the instruction manual or so info might be available on here or the...

I don't use mad cam but with out a tool changer you need to look at stuff a little different.

What I do is assign each tool path such as drilling, routing, part cut out to a separate file.

I...

I think you would be fine with doing it in sections.
When I do the foam forms they always fit together fine with no faring of the sections. We glue them together with a water based contact cement....

Maybe I missed something,

So you have a home built 3 axis and a break out board and a pc . Since its an xp machine it should have a parallel port you could use to connect the break out board to. ...
