At what IPM/Depth of Pass can I run these .0313 2-flute bits through soft aluminum at 8000 rpm with full flood coolant ? Where would I go to learn this?
Think and Tinker are telling me that at 8K rpm I should be able to run 35 ipm at a full diameter DOC through wood.
I'm thinking I need to figure out a cheap way to mount a trim router on the side of...
I break bits when I cut fret slots in wood, starting the bit outside one edge of the workpiece and going through the workpiece completely. I think if there's Z axis jerk actiopn going on it wouldn't...
I'm running a Leadwell V25 with a Fanuc 21M controller and an 8K rpm spindle . It breaks every single bit under .0625 I use in it. I've had the runout checked on the spindle taper ( he said it was...
THere's no audio, if you intended there to be, but I got the basic gist. Please don't delete those videos just yet;) Thanks again!
Wow, look art that! Perfect! I want to come u with a few different patterns and designs, this ought to do the trick. THanks Sven!~
Yes, that's what I was asking about.
No idiots here DAn. I asked Mike because I knew he did that sort of thing but I do appreciate your efforts on my behalf. You people here have always been very helpful.
After looking at it, that seems to address texture mapping for rendering. Does MadCam pick that up in its tool path calcs?
Thanks Dan, I will try that.
Mostly it doesn't fit in the thread contextually.
Mike, I know you aren't Joakim. I guess you don't remember me. I want to ask you about how to use rhino to put textures and gnurling on gun grips. Should I ask that in pm?
Hi Mike! Long time no talk to! I do have the key, it works for both the 5.0 beta and 4.3 release, but it says it's only good for 60 days with the 5.0 beta. I have the 64-bit version, I was just...
I have both. It took a while to get both installed correctly on the same machine. THe key code is only good for 60 days, and it's been more than 60 days since I bought the 5.0 . I was wondering how...
I run the Rhino 5 64-bit on Win7 Professional. I tried installing the beta of Madcam 5 but had issues and so am waiting for the release.
I have been waiting for a long time now. I paid for it back...
I don't think it's backlash; the cuts are straight lines and the breaks happen in the middle of them. I'm also making them in one direction only- that is, instead of cutting from one edge to teh...
sorry: runout is under 3 TEN thousandths;)
John! I have been meaning to send you some wood so Ron could ry running the bits at 8K rpm to see if he gets breakage. I will have to do that this week if possible.
I'm cutting ebony, rosewood, maple, mahogany, and oak, mostly. The smaller bits are used on fretboards, ebony and rosewood for the most part. No idea who built the spindle, but it's not a router ,...
I've been looking into those. Hope I can find one that I can hang in my took changer. For cutting fret slots I don't need a lot of torque.
Ron at Precise Bits thinks that 8K rpm is fast enough to...
I'm going through .023, .0313, and very small v-carve bit ( 8thinch wide, .004 tp ) like they were made of plastic. I'm cutting wood!
My machine is a Leadwell V25, from 1997, with a Fanuc 21m...
Where can I learn about proper indexing of parts? I have a wood piece that needs a binding channel on each edge, top and bottom, both surfaces of which are 3-d carved in a non-square dimension. I'm...
I can't figure the post compiler/decompiler out. Any ideas?
I noticed that and when I tried again it wouldn't even pop open the attachemnt page.
Guess I have to zip the damned thing.
OK a sample vnc file. not a real part but I tried assigning g55 to the user CS and it still put in g54 instead in teh post.
I will be using this setup with wood almost exclusively, what do you suggest I drive the table with?
My shopvac is rated at 6 hp so I figure I have 3 hp on a regular basis. The table I'm trying to power with it is 14 inches by 18 inches. the vac fitting is on a short side, and there are 52 holes in...
I tried thaqt, it didn't seem to do the trick. Also assigned G55 to the default CS. No joy./
So a 5 horsepower shop vac can't provide enough vacuum to hold down a piece of quarter-inch ply strongyl enough to let a half-inch bit cut through it.
Wow.
How big a vacuum pump do I need?
