Hello,
I need to design a tote (box without a lid) that will be made from 1/4” or possibly 1/8” ACM using a 91 degree bit to make folds. Im looking for it to be 13” wide 15-1/2” tall and 25” long. ...

Hello,
I need to design a tote (box without a lid) that will be made from 1/4” or possibly 1/8” ACM using a 91 degree bit to make folds. Im looking for it to be 13” wide 15-1/2” tall and 25” long. ...
Actually it’s 2.5d designs for a variety of products I make. The designs I’ve made work but there are improvements to efficiency that can be made above my skill level - that’s what I’m looking to...
So I make plastic items, I work in Aspire on two 4x8 CNC routers (one with and one without tool changer)
I'd like to mod the designs to minimize or eliminate areas where the two passes are made...
I have a 4x8 machine I’m selling completely working for $5000. I can deliver it to Miami and set it up for about $750. Comes complete with 2.2 kw spindle, computer (monitor not included). Send me...
I installed the blue screen, set the parameters for where my probe is etc. I have the following issues with the scripts
The "auto tool zero" I edited the script to set the movable plate to 0.4"...
My profiles are cut with a 1/4” tool - the dust in the air isn’t so much the issue it’s the dust that sticks to the pvc pieces that are cut - maybe I will try feathering the depth down a bit more -...
I just received an import machine 5x10 footprint (66x126 actual). It has a vacuum table and when I do my cutting (pvc foam board) I cut 0.01 to 0.02 deeper than my material thickness so I have a...
Not sure about my motors - the two main motors are from Anaheim automation 34y series 1200 oz-in matched pair. The gantry motor is a 700 oz in nema34 and the z axis is a 400 oz-in nema 23. All are 8...
I'm debating upgrading my DIY machine from cheapie cw8060 (y and slave for y) and cw230 (x and z) to gecko drives -- in just wondering has anyone else upgraded and did you notice a difference - and...
My current machine is set up with mach3, looking at a machine with Nc studio because studio will allow the multiple spindle machine to operate properly.
How bad is the learning curve switching...
Here are the pics
I'm attaching pics of the scalloped cut and the way my gantry connects -- I think I can drill a few holes in the rolled steel rails and attach an 8020 extrusion to attach linear rails and racks...
X-axis leaves scalloping due to vibration (I have a coolant nozzle on my spindle mount that I'll probably never use so I have it pulled straight up and you can watch the tip bounce and yaw) I've...
Well having no machine while fixing this one is part of the issue - we did end up cutting the legs about 4" above the wheels it was creating more vibration than you could imagine, it's sitting on 2x4...
I also un-slave the Slave motor to square up the gantry - I've figured out if I hit the end stops toward y- square for the gantry is y0.18 a-0.18
I'd just like it to be easier to accomplish
Here are a couple pics - I'm considering cutting off the rolled steel rails and adding an 8020 extrusion on both sides to attach linear rail and racks to
Drive is #25 roller chain with I think 14...
So I currently have a 4x8 machine with a 2.2kw Chinese spindle, 1/4 rolled steel Y axis rails (which SUCK and are welded to the machine body), 20 mm round linear rails on X and Z. Chain drive w/ two...
I have the blue screen setup from bigtex and I have a small issue - after a tool change my job z setting is off by 0.05" in the positive and I'm not sure what setting to adjust to fix it. It taps...
Hi folks,
I had a vertical machine up until this week which had X0Y0 Origin at bottom left. my new horizontal machine has nice limit switches to home from and they are set up as I view the...
I have a Green Lean and have attempted to address this issue with the manufacturer, they can't seem to figure it out and I'm lost.
My machine is cutting 'off' from actual measure depending on the...
I appreciate the input. I am using the drivers from Build Your CNC - not really sure much about them. The motors sit at 50-60 degrees Celsius so I'm guessing no worries. If I'm going to be away...
I have a DIY CNC that I built from a kit, and what I'm trying to find out is some info about stepper motors.
I have a vertical oriented machine from Build Your CNC (the Green Lean Kit) which has...
Actually after doing more research I'm finding that a better option for me, being most of what I work on is plastic, would be the plastic brad nails from Raptor. Waiting for them to get back to me...
I own a GreenLean from Build Your CNC. It is made from a plywood that seems to have MDF as the outermost layer (but its wood in the center layers). It went together okay, I'm still dialing things...
I've just begun the first few cuts with my new machine - 90% of what I'm going to cut is going to be PVC foam or Expanded PVC (CDPVC/XPVC) which is sheet material. I am using an upcut single or two...
Well I certainly appreciate the quick reply -- I would never have thought to measure the diameter of the bits considering most my bits are Onsrud which I was told is the diamond standard, but 1/4" =...
I've got a relatively simple part I'm trying to cut with my new CNC router it is a leg for a bookcase with rabbets for the shelves to slide into -- I have designed in ArtCam Express, my machine is...
I'm looking for something that will output back to Mach3 and allow me to control the RPM of my spindle. I work mostly with PVC plastic and having at least reasonable control for RPM would be good. ...
Looking for someone heavily experienced in Artcam who can help me learn the software so I can design the things I need to design. Willing to discuss fees based on time involved etc. I'm looking for...
