I wanted to know if anyone has ever purchased any of these older Aspire versions from Ebay. The cost is of course hard to beat but it makes me concerned about whether you are getting a real version...
I have a friend that is looking into getting automotive paint that will match the colors that I need. He has a spray booth and I will just pay him for the work. Other than that I have had some...
OK, so I have done inlays before with fairly large pieces and have not had any problems but not I am working with some fairly skinny pieces and for some reason the cuts are not coming out correctly....
It looks like that was also using a set crew tool holder. That is the one thing that I still need to try.
So I have been trying to find a good degreaser/cleaner that will remove the Dura-kut 9000B lubricant from work pieces. I have tried to use Simple Green but found that it really does not break it...
if I remember some time ago I looked into and it was more costly. Also I don't know how powder coating holds up when being engraved.
That might be too long of a process and too costly but does it work better than just a self-etch primer?
Never thought about engraving while it soft could look into that.
I had thought about using anodized aluminum as well but I cannot get it in the size I need and the colors are very basic and bland. So that left me with getting the aluminum in the sizes I need and...
Not sure if this is the correct section of the forums for this question. If not please let me know.
I am trying to engrave painted aluminum but currently still see some flaking along the cut...
Are you using a collet or set screw for the Maritool?
I have posted the question on the videos of in the discussion section on his YouTube page but he has not responded to any of them. I could email and see if he replies.
That is one thing that I honestly do not know. I have always used the supplied wrenches that came with the setup when I first bought the unit. I have never actually used any torque wrenches. With...
I saw that he was using a set screw holder after re watching the video and was thinking that it might be that difference alone that makes the TAS work so much better. Now after seeing your response...
I did tighten the drawbar some more and then took apart the TTS tool holder and recleaned everything again with acetone just to be sure there is no lubricant or such in the TTS collet. Still was not...
I was referring to cleaning the lubicants from the TTS collet not the spindle collet.
I have setup the spindle collet as described by the Tormach manual when I bought the machine but decided to...
I have purchased the 1/4, 3/8 and the 1/2 TAS EM's from Lake Shore Carbide. I was attempting to use these as an aggressive EM for material removal. After watching NYC CNC video on these cutters...
I tested out the larger radius today and that solved the problem. thanks for the idea C*H*U*D.
I checked the G-code and the feed speed is the same for the entire profile operation.
I have the circular lead in and circular lead out with a radius of 2 inches. Lead length is set a 1 inch and a 1 inch overcut distance.
I am doing a small radius on the corners so I worry that the...
I am trying to see if there is a way to prevent from having this vertical mark from occurring after doing a profile cut. I am doing both a circular lead in and circular lead out with a 1 inch...
Yes I have been setting the depth. I even tried a ridiculous depth of .125 and even changed the color but it still barely shows up in the simulation. I do not have this problem when I change it to...
I am attempting to use the Diamond Drag tool for an engraving toolpath in Cut2D but when I run the simulation it barely shows up in the material. I have tried different depths and still does not...
I would love to use theirs but making a tool holder is something that I cannot do as I dont have any lathes. I would have to contract that part out.
I have not seen any larger face mills that you can use with Tormach tool holders. I only know of and own the Tormach 1.5: FM. Can you please send some links to the larger facemills that be used...
Which brand/model of face mill are you using?
Its 6061-T6.
I saw that someone else on this forum had asked the same question last year but it looked like there were no good results other than building your own.
I need a flycutter that can do 4 inches in diameter and still give the same results that Tormach's flycutter produces.
Last year I bought a Flexbar flycutter from MSC but unfortunately it did...
The material that I want to use this EM is 6061-T6. I do appreciate all the info and will also try your recommended speeds.
Thanks for the info. I unfortunately do not have any of the high speed spindles but will still try the recommended speeds with the 3/64 BEM that you used at 5000rpm
As well I am impressed by the quality of the engraving. thanks for the feed and speeds. I will give them a try.
