Ok cool. My x axis will do 20 but it's much happier at 10, and 15 hits a resonance for some reason. I had lowered it to 5 that's when I encountered these problems lol thinking it would be real happy...

Now that's the kind of response I'm looking for. Thanks man that all makes sense. One question what would you say is a minimum acceleration number to get away without much issues with constant...
Hi guys I have a bunch of orders to fulfill and I thought I had this issue ironed out by telling mach3 to switch to exact stop mode on angles above 89 degrees but on random corners it still seems to...
Hi guys I am currently running 1200oz in steppers I ignorantly bought as a kit a long time ago before even building my machine. Trying to gain some rpm so I'm looking at some 435oz in steppers. My...
You can visibly tell the differences in terms of shade but I would've never guessed they machined so differently. Worth noting the Menards MDF is made in canada and doesn't appear to be made just to...
Right: MDF from Menards..left MDF from home Depot. I've been cutting tons of the mdf on the right with no issues, cuts easy and doesn't burr. Just did some home Depot MDF (Georgia Pacific) and it not...
it's my diy router. all the outer profiling in this toolpath was dead on perfect. just these pockets and some of the inside profiling is smaller than intended or shown in aspire. climb cutting. would...
Upon measuring it seems to have cut the pockets 1/16" to small all the way around. hmm
I'm using vectric aspire and a pocket operation to do rabbet joints. I've done a bunch of these on MDF and they came out good but I'm doing plywood now and all of a sudden I've got a .03" lip left...
It's interesting because the sound of the spindle (router) seems to tell you right where it's happy at. Moving it through the MDF at 120ipm .25 deep now just jogging around the router sounds the best...
Just wanted to say thanks guys. Got a new bit, used a better extension cord and turned the rpms down on the router and it's blasting through MDF now. You can tell it's making chips instead of powder
Thanks for informing me about the rpm situation I really hadn't thought about it at all before but now I read up about it and chip loading and it makes sense.
Ok now we're talkin....I'm no stranger to voltage drops I know for a fact the outlets in my garage have a terrible voltage drop to the point they won't even start an air compressor. The machine...
Ok guys, a couple developments. The router died today, bearings seized up. I thought that would explain why it wasn't doing so well. So I went and bought a new Dewalt DW618. The one I had was serial...
Ive only machined particle board and mdf on my router so far and quickly discovered the mdf is really bogging my router down. Once the router heats up I'm only able to run at 30ipm .25 deep cut with...
I haven't milled anything but particle board and MDF on my machine yet but I could see maybe particle board or soft woods/plywood but the mdf clogs up the kerf badly on the first pass even with a...
Increasing stepover may help. Otherwise can be a machine issue where the Z axis is flexing or has some play in it otherwise
what kind of spindle do I need for 300ipm jeez. I do plan on getting one of those ebay water cooled 220v deals
Looks are deceiving! the 2x6" 3/16 wall steel tubes alone are a couple hundred pounds by themselves. add up the rest of the steel and junk the thing is at least 800lbs probably more
As a recording studio guy I'm well versed on sound proofing. forget the insulation, that's sound dampening. sound proofing involves decoupling an interior wall from an exterior wall. You want to use...
They said it's a bad idea, they said it wouldn't work, but I did it anyways
When I was designing this I never liked the idea and added complexity and expense of using either two ballscrews for the...
I found my problem.

That's a new bit I just got yesterday. MDF did that....Bosch sucks.
I have a theory that my end mill is bent right now I sorta crashed it. It's cutting terribly now for sure. It's supposedly carbide so I don't think those bend they usually just snap but I stopped it...
I thought I had this figured out but since I just switched to 8x microstepping my parts are coming out marginally smaller than they should be.
200 step/rev steppers.
10mm pitch ballscrews.
I...
hi Thank you, i dont have specs of the motors on hand, they're chinese 1232oz in I believe though. on 60v and 5.6a. My ballscrews are 10mm pitch
- - - Updated - - -
that does sound like a...
I have a Chinese 2510 ballscrew. Meaning 25mm diameter, 10mm pitch. Lost one of the seals on the ends of the ballnut when I had it disassembled. Pretty hard to find item, would even buy another...
Thank you for the reply!!
The first thing I said to myself when I first tried to rapid this machine at 500ipm when I first fired it up was....."these motors are too dang big" because they just...
I'm pretty fond of my simple easy z axis I hacked together. The panels are 1/2" Baltic Birch ply. The first panel is supported by the linear guides and the second one the router is attached to is...
I finally have my 4x8 machine together for the last week or so and have successfully used it a few times on smaller parts. I originally had the driver's on 4x microstepping (800 steps/rev) and after...
My half ton 4x8 steel router is limited by the DeWalt 618 router I'm using for a spindle I was just doing mdf for the first time, the first .25" deep cut it won't go faster than 45ipm without bogging...
