I would be amazed if it can't, this is the most basic thing that a CNC can do! That is why we call them a Computer Numeric Control and not just an NC, it is the computer's ability to calculate all...

Look for SPECIAL cutters for aluminium, they need to have highly poished flutes, mirror finish if available, and very open flute design, not much longer though in the weak flutes area than the...

The spindle cartridge is an NSK and is brushless with a tiny 40 slot encoder at the end.
I would like to pull the motor out from the end, looks like I need to unscrew a brass threaded nut/collar so...

Anyone have info on Richmill high speed 50k spindles
bought on but cant get over 1000rpm and no instructions at all came with it
Airline inside was kinked over shut so may have gotten too hot

I think it will be great if I can knock off at 90
Onlly 66 so far so still a baby?
I needed to log in her just to keep the CNCzone mob from knocking me off its perch, reckon I havnt made comment...

My machine similar tricks on me once ages ago when trying to mill very hard T6 aluminium at high 5000 rpm with big Face cutter and heavy feed, mc would detect that RPM had slowed & interupt the feed...

I believe very few were made with auto swivel head, MH 700HS, maybe only five! Fascinating to watch it work as it has a dust cap cover to plug over the 40 taperr spindle hole that is not in use. It...

I think I have version 6 software. I don't use all its fancy features as I program off-line with an old EzCam 2d system, and have created 2 post processors for vertical milling &horizontal milling...

I have a Philips 432 controller on Maho 700HS 1989 model prox, it has 4th axis simultaneous (but i dont know when this was 1st brought in) G1 XYZB, does G2 G3 smooth curves, seems to decellerate OK ...

I know what a Dbit grinder is, but what do you mean by an annular cutter?
Are these the hollow multi-tooth cutters used like on a Rota Broach? to drill big diameter holes in plates?

Your Dbit...

I agree with Bailey also from OZ.
Efficiency from a friction type thread screw (ie not a ball nut) is to do with the helix angle of the thread to the axis. In a normal type screw thread the...

I always command T0 M6 manually data input so the machine has no tool in the spindle when left off for the night or for many days, this is said to be good practice so the tool does corrode with...

How about 3 wheels and 2 corner jacks at the 3rd castor wheel end, that way the floor can't twist the torsion box bed , being on 3 point footing... and you can gently down-screw at the 2 corners to...

I would say for pretty it looks pretty dam good! And since you have ballscrews the accuracy must be very good, especially if you take light finishing cuts and dont belt round corners too quick. I was...

I live in Banksia Park SA only a Magpie flight from where you are. I have a couple of CNC mcs in my engineering business but have always been interested in these simple builds with great fascination...

The EzCamII on old NEC APC pcs are a monster, so heavy can barely lift w/out the back popping! Have 1 at work & spare at home, but home1 has blown the high tension transformer on the VDU board and...

what about a cnc controlled stop screw? move the stop on a heavy screw to get stroke limit you want then bump into it using on/of valve. I saw this on Curvit mc years ago

You have to have some way of inputting your rotation angle required into your cad cam software program & then write a post that will output the line in the way required for the mc to read. I did it...

to make threads on a VMC I have used the SPIRAL milling function of Fanuc on a OMA control. This required each thread whirl full circle to have its own line of program, ie a G02 or G03 plus the...

I read cuppla months back that the green forest that have been planted replaces white snow in some of USA, the white color of the snowfields used to reflect the Sun's heat, and now the darkgreen tree...

I went around my workshop and turned off all the un-needed things, reduced my background continual power drain from 100watts to 20watts. I found that 100 watts over a weekend read 7kwh on my meter...

mc looks great, all nice and solid, rigidity and accurate build off the surface grinder. I think the revs and the rigidity of the spindle might be the weak point. On bloke build a little cnc mill and...

Glad the M30s work OK
I guess you must be running the spindle for a very long hours/time nonstop if you are watching it it with webcam from home, very clever idea! 3000rpm is not very fast but heat...

Why don't you set the tolerance wider for the bezier curves, when the deviation off the true curve is allowed to be say .002 you will get less curves or lines in number and each move will be over a...

The padding I used at the end of the program was a whole string of M30 lines.
I must also try to save back my constants again, it is a real pain to get them all in and all right if your battery goes...

I'm not sure what the constants stars/asterisks mean, I will have a look sometime. Usually all the options available for that constantare shown between the brackets I think, just to help you decide...

I had this problem ages ago and am trying to remember how to fix problem. I think you need to have a Control-D sent at the ned of your program. You can type it in yourself at the sending PC or have...

Lots of button pressing with a Maho !!!!!

I think you have to write the X Y Z B zero positions your self into G54

you might be getting "chatter" meaning vibration from having too many teeth in contact with the workpiece during a heavy cut. Due to the thickness of the work and the spiral of the cutter then with...

program buttton, 1 block select, hit softkey program list? I think, it should show your list of programs, select the program you want to be the active one, enter,

I am not in front of my maho...
