Thank you very much. :)
No the machine has been great . Its a Bionica Promill https://www.bionicasystems.com/promill/
I am getting a 2nd machine (Though probably not from them) but it has been great. Unfortunately they...
The lubricant supplied has nearly run out. It was in a large syringe. Light brown grease. I was told to apply to the screw rods X Y Z axis and the 2 rails where the gantry sides up and down the...
Ok. after much research, this one seems to be ideal, as I don't want to buy large grease gun tubes,
Is it a good choice?
...
Thank you. But isn't there a supplier that sells this in smaller tubes? I'm surprised how many different products people claim work. On youtube a CNC maker is recommending the one I mentioned in the...
One of my CNC machines was supplied with a syringe full of quite thick grease, which I feel is not really penetrating into the bearings well.
I read that 3 in 1 PTFE was a good lubricant for the...
Thanks for reply.
Its a ball screw. I have zeroed the noise to either the ballscrew (the part connecting to the spindle holder) or the travel rail above or below.
I made a vid but its too...
Noticed the Y axis is clicking/ticking on my backup CNC machine.
Odd thing is, it only does it going left. Its been well lubricated.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reply.
No, they have to drop on. They are not proper rivets. Just screws that have a rivet like head.
I have cut out some stars and moon shapes out of Acrylic and want to glue in some metal rivets/studs into cut holes.
The Rivets are almost a snug fit but move from side to side a little. What...
Thank you very much.
Problem sorted! :)
Thanks. I'll give that a try tomorrow. Does the info I provided suggest that will work?
Here are the Z Axis settings and final G-Code:
I have MACH3 running on laptop, I'm not sure what the controller box is called. Everything else is running fine. It cuts voids, shapes spot on. But on a one way a - b slot, it ramps as it leaves the...
I'm not sure. From the 3D preview it looks like its cutting normal. There doesn't seem to be an option in v-carve tool path options for anything which would cause it as its all greyed out as the slot...
Hi
Im having trouble cutting slots in V Carve pro.
When I cut a simple L shaped slot, it plunges ok, but when it gets to the end, instead of leaving the slot squarely upwards, it ramps on exit...
Thanks for your answers ger21.
Does that apply to holes too? it only plunges to start the cut and a few holes here and there.
I'm cutting at approx 24,000rpm (Kress 1050) 3mm passes in mdf...
Oh ok. I don't think my spindle is powerful enough for one pass in 10mm. I'm doing 3mm passes with 2 fluted uppercut. I saw a vid on youtube where they compared bits and a straight flute seemed the...
Does that get rid of waste quickly too?
Seen lots of debates about which is the best bit for mdf.
I find 2 flute 6mm upper cut reliable, but leaves a fuzzy edge at the top edge. (And I hear Down cut does same to bottom edge).
Is a...
How do I tram the Spindle?
Its a Kress btw.
Its a pretty solid machine. Don't think theres any flex tbh. I will check the spindle. Thanks for suggestions.
Hello again.
Can you give me a bit of advise?
I'm cutting 9mm MDF with 3 passes for a logo protect. When its finished, there are 2 lines showing on the edge (from the separate passes). I can...
Thought i'd update the thread,
I bought a power filter and so far its behaving. Looks like interference was a problem.
Thanks for all your help :)
It went off course and I hit emergency stop. I then manually raised the Z Axis, then pressed continue in MACH 3 and it seemed to go back to its proper course.
I spent a good hour watching youtube vids of making laptops safe for cnc use. Turned off everything that could interfere in Win 10.
The power filter coming soon, so will try those. I guess its a...
It has the M30 at end.
I have ordered a power filter so will try that next.
Just went to try a simple job in another area and it went off position again, but it carried on, then went back on...
Would this be a good option?

I will have to find an external one as fitting inside the electrics box will void the warranty.
Thanks for info, but it wasn't repeating before when I did previous cuts. Its as if there's a ghost...
Hi Roger. Its a new machine and done little work so far. The company guy is being very helpful, but suggests a filter plug (Copper block?) in case its a power feed problem.
I have changed all...
