I'd give going climb mill with those feeds n speeds a try then see where you are at. I got the same marks until I cut as mentioned in my last post.

I have had very similar results running "acrylic" bits in conventional mill. I played around and found if you use a spiral O flute for aluminum and run in climb mill you will get good results. I...

Hello All,
I'm gathering parts for a small router build. I have had this spindle and vfd kicking around for a while. I bought them as a set off of ebay. I did get a booklet with the vfd but no specs...

John,
100% understood , and thank you for taking your time to explain. The break out board or controller is definitely 5v. Routing parts as we speak. Thanks again!
Happy holiday-
Vince

Would it be safe to say that:
.014x48 gives me .672 watts?
I found a 1.5k, 1 watt resistor, so run 2 in parallel?
I think I may be getting now???
Vince

John,
Thanks for clarifying

so with a 48V power source
46/3270 = 14 mA??

3000 ohm resistor if such a thing is made??

Vince

Thanks Jim-
It says 5V. I'm just on the other side of town in Hillsboro, small world.
Thanks Again,
Vince

Hello,
Thank you for taking a look.
I have a 5x10 router running mdrive steppers on x and y. They work great, the drivers are married to the motors and are super simple to set up/wire.

I'm...

Hello,
I have a 5x10 router that has been running Mdrive steppers. They are a neat steeper with the controller built into the motor. My control box only has a power source, break out board, etc. I...

Thank you for taking your time to read this.
I have something set up wrong or I'm missing something obvious-
I have an older 5x10 router I bought in disrepair several years ago. Folks on the...

Burrman,
I was trying to get the v tool to take more than one pass. When I cut deep letters the sharp points/corners get knocked off. I was trying to cut less per pass by reducing the depth and...

Burrman,
Seem as though I can get a clean cut. I attached a file and I must be still setting something up wrong-
The pocket depth is set at .250 and doc for roughing and v tool are set at .125 the...

Well thanks... I didn't translate the text after making it. I ASSUMED it was as zero. I moved it to zero and the tool path cleaned right up. Thanks!!! Very much appreciated !!

Well I believe I have solved the on going issues with bobcad-

Rob,
Thank you for taking your time and posting the file.
I'm using a 1" diameter 60* insert type vcarve tool and a .250 roughing bit.
I must be missing some basic skills. I have always set my...

Hello All,
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
I'm trying to make a v carved sign. I have a lot of general cnc routing experience but not much in the sign making area. My issue is when I...

Mactec,
I have it wired into a plug that runs a 50 amp breaker. I checked the voltage, each leg is 120 to ground, 240 between the two legs using an old analog VOM.
Parameter time??
Thanks
Vince

Okay thanks for the parameters.
This is what I have found. I swapped in your parameters. Now if you hit run without the spindle wired you can watch the vfd build rpm. When you hit stop it spools...

Thank you sir-
I'll give these a shot today-
I see it's for a 2.2kw. Is that okay with my 3.0kw? I would assume the PD142 number should be higher??
I'll let you know the outcome.

I believe you...

Maybe this can help ID my spindle. I simply can't remember what was advertised as max rpm. There really aren't any tags, badges,...

There is no info anywhere other than a high voltage warning on the vfd-
There is nothing on the spindle itself. Like I said I bought it years ago as a set on ebay. It came with zero documentation. ...

The removable cover says it's a 220V/3.0KW. I looked on ebay and it seems for the 2.2kw the VFDs are rated at 10amp, the 3.0kw at 13 amps.
Can I change a parameter that will allow more than 11 amps?...

I think you answered my question.

When I try to modify PD142, which I understand to be motor current in amps it only goes to 11, it was set at 10 for a 2.2 kw. I assume I need at least 13.63...

My first assumption was not to use the neutral wire. I tried it without to start with and had the same issue-
Thanks for looking. :)

Hello All,
I have been running a 5x10 for a few years now. I bought a decommissioned commercial router, less the z drive and any wiring. With the help of this forum I got it put together and have...

Hello,

I have been running bobcad v24 for sometime on my laptop. When I double click the short cut it starts to load the program. The splash screen comes up then the bobcad icon drops into my task...

The older I get the bigger the monster gets!!!...he's got plenty of my stuff as it stands....lol

Agreed- or at least I thought so at first.
I'm used to aligning two wrenches at a specific angle with one hand, squeeze and it's tight.
But after using this for a while I've become quite...

So I ran across a post on instrgram a few months ago. He posts mostly motorcycles and some cnc router pics (pretty much my thing). I struck a conversation with him and turns out he's an accomplished...

Sean,
THANK YOU-
Done- code looks much better. I'll run some test paths. 99% sure you nailed it
