Hey guys,
I’m trying to figure out something.
When I use my tool information on the run program screen I can adjust the height +\- without any problems. However the diameter adjustment won’t change...
Hi guys,
I was using an old Xbox 360 wired controller till it broke.
I bought what I thought was a 360 wireless but turned out to be a
Xbox one . I can’t seem to get it to work. My laptop is on...
Thanks Ger,
I guess I’m thinking more about deeper cuts and slower speeds so not to beat the machine up to much. Like I said, I’m always learning !!!!
I’ve run the machine at 200 for finishing...
Hi Guys,
I’ve been using my CNC Router Parts 2x4 pro for over a year now, so I guess you can say I’m still a newbie lol !
I’ll try to keep this short but to the point.
So I have the 2x4 pro with...
Thanks again Roger,
So if I remember correctly, with the 1/8 hss 4 flute endmill I had the rpm at 10000 which is the slowest I can go, 8 to 15 ipm,and a cut depth of .0025 per pass. And used up 4...
Oh, and just to let you know, the burr didn’t make it here fast enough, I ended up finishing the outer cut with a 1/4 ball nose carbide 2 flute spiral. Surprisingly it still looks like it is in good...
Thanks for all the help!!!!! It was a Xmas present for my brother , it was a huge hit !!!!
Ok, great thanks!!!
Which leads to another question.....
I’ve tried 3 different 1/4 to 1/8 reducers, all won’t hold the bit tight.
Looked for a porter cable collet 1/8 but I’ve only found 1/2 3/8...
USA, I just wanted to make sure I’m shopping for the right one.
Sorry to ask but could you send me a link for an online supplier for a good bit so I can compare?
Thanks Roger, the carbide bits I do have are 2 flute spiral. Being I’m a bit more than halfway through already should I try with one of those? And should I continue using the tip or plunge past and...
As much as I enjoy the festive bright red glow this time of year, I get your point . Thanks
No spindle.... 3hp porter cable router
Oh, also, do you know of a home brew lube for cutting ?
Lol, ok, I did say I was learning !!!! Hahaha
It wasn’t much of a sight, only got a 1/4” before it snapped.
The slowest I can get with this router is 10000. My old router only had one speed so I...
Hey KH,
So I was thinking about what you said as far as steps. I guess I’m not sure what you mean by that? Here are the specs of my machine. And as I said in last post lm using fusion 360 to design...
Hi Roger,
Thanks, as I was learning yesterday, I had an early visit from Santa!!!
Well at least from rudolf and his glowing red nose!!!!
😂 Up on the cnc roof I heard a chatter, and when I looked I...
Thanks KH,
I have it made in fusion 360 already, it about 32”x 22”. The 1/8th bit clears all the books and crannies!!! Lol
Learned a lot yesterday but still learning mm vs in.
Thanks
Hi KH,
When you say 400 /80 are you referring to mm , cm, or inches?
Here is what I want to cut.
Hi Roger
I should have been more specific sorry.
I will be screwing down the perimeter and use double sided tape in the center. Here is a snapshot of what I want to cut from the sheet and make it...
Hi Guys,
Could someone please help me. I’m rather new to cnc, and only have worked with wood .
