I could be totally wrong about this, but that might be referring to the 'manufacturing extensions' (I think that's the term they use), which include things like the rotary toolpath, steep...

I don't have much experience working with aluminium with my router, but one thing I've noticed is that chip recutting can massively affect the finish.

What kind of coolant/lubricant are you using...

I've got a X4-800L, and I've recently been having issues with lost steps. Mostly on Z as well, but - as far as I can tell - on Y as well. (And then saw your comment on the huge Omio thread, but kept...

Hey Nick... I saw this being discussed previously but never got around to replying for some reason.

I'm not sure if you've tried this, but in Mach3's Ports & Pins -> Spindle Setup, I had to set...

javanree, Mmpie, extent.. thanks for your responses and advice.
I finally stopped deliberating and ordered the damn thing, and went with the 800w 4-bearing spindle.
Now I wait. Well, now I start...

Mmpie:

Yeah I'd seen a 1.5Kw spindle described as the sweet spot between 800w and 2.2Kw.
As you say, I'll have the option of changing spindles later if needed. But as javanree said, it seems the...

Profile rails and linear guides are just two names for the same thing, right? It has those. What do you mean by smaller framework?... Just that it's a smaller machine?



The torque at lower rpm...

Thanks for the response Mmpie. They're both max rpm of 24000... but do you mean the speed at which they achieve their rated power? I don't know if that's different between the two spindles.
I was...

Thanks for the response javanree.

Yeah it made sense that more bearings would be better... but I haven't really been able to find anything that states exactly 'why'. My guess is lifetime and TIR...

Hi all, sorry to butt in... I posted elsewhere but this might be the best place to ask.
I'm looking at getting a X4-800L-USB... but I have the option of getting a 2-bearing 1500W water-cooled...

Hi,

I'm about to go ahead with getting an Omio X4-800L-USB. It usually comes with an 800W, 65mm dia, 2 bearing spindle. On the website you can select a longer 4-bearing 800W spindle... but I've...

Hi!

First post here! Has been useful just lurking so far though. Looks like an excellent community and I can see myself spending a lot more time on this site :)

I recently purchased a 3-axis...
