I'm looking for either a 3D file or artwork for a Star Trek calendar. We have the Aztec and Star Wars calendars what about one for Star Trek?
Any help or hints is appreciated.
If you did not recieve a registration code from Newfnagled Solutions then you still are running the software in Demo mode. Demo will run 500 lines and I can't imagine a single character using the...
Gary, start with the simple things first. Make sure everything is tight, base frame needs to be rigid. Next, check each axis for excessive movement there shouldn't be any side-to-side or up and...
CNCMAN172 is probably correct with the using the generic Fanuc post-processor. Just select the appropriate work units for your application and run a small test fill to confirm it's operation.
It could also be a motor tuning issue probably acceleration and velocity. If Mach3 and VCarve were working on you old router a tuning issue may be the problem with the new router.
Gary, if you click on the link that Gerry provided you will see a 'Products' tab at the top of the page. If you click on that tab you can get a side-by-side comparison of the Vectric software.

Yes, as Jim suggested for the shop vac. You might be able to get away with running everything on the one circuit if you did not start everything at the same time. The starting load current is what...
Gerry, will a air cooled spindle still give the down blast of cooling air like a router motor?
And yes I agree with you 100%, an non grounded spindle motor can be lethal.
This looks like cutter deflection caused by the tool moving in opposite directions. Reduce your depth of cut on the finish pass and this effect will be reduced. This is a typical example of...
Check with your local Big Box stores like Home Depot or Lowes they may be able to order the larger size of MDF. If not a seam is not the end of the world as you will be surfacing your spoilboard...
This is a common problem and is easily remedied. But first I must ask this question, have you calibrated your machine axis? If your answer is NO then you need to perform this step and this screen is...
The .NC file may work depending on your control software, however you can select your POST when you save your file....see attached
Do your research first, read the book that you purchased to get an idea of whats involved. There are numerous videos on YouTube on building a DIY router and these are good sources of information. ...
Especially if you cut a lot MDF
I believe nlancaster has made a valid point in both feed and speeds and material composition. Chip load is critical to heat removal thus reducing welding. You should probably target a chip load in...
I think the main point here is that of the construction material and not your mechanical components. I believe that you will discover the core material of the Melamine will prove inadequate to...
Good luck with this, I do not think you will achieve the required air flow thru the router to keep it from overheating...My router runs for many hours on long continuous programs and stays only warm...
” Typical run in for spindles is a starting point of about 400 rpm,
up to max in 500 rpm increments, in steps of 30 - 45 minutes.
Check housings for excessive heat as you go.
Then reverse and...
Do not use this pump....look for one that is refrigerated for proper temperature control during prolonged runs
Do not use a Fly Cutter, these cutters are not designed to run at router speeds. Any flat bottom mill cutter will work, emphasis on 'FLAT' not a standard cutter.
That would be a big YES to spindle speed control. Buy what you can afford, but if you look at your future needs, spending a little more now may be well worth the extra expense.
OK, I have it working almost.
I have the KinectSDK 1.8 windows driver installed...

I would check with your local steel suppliers. You can often times score a better price because of shipping, and the bonus is that you get the product in hand when it's paid for. McMaster also a...
You have a great start, can I ask the manufacture of your aluminium extrusions?
A simple test to verify that the machine will move in the appropriate direction would be to manually jog the machine. If you jog the machine to the left and it moves to the right your directional...
The single drive is not doing you any favors, however as Russ stated the machine needs to be square and a re-weld is in order.
A second thought after looking a little closer at your first picture...
If you melted your initial test piece your spindle speed is to fast, or your feed rate is slow. I would try slowing the spindle speed and increasing the feed rate with a single flute tool. Some...
I'm looking for a 5W diode laser module in the visible light spectrum for an addition to my CNC router, any thoughts?
