HS_RJ,
Thanks for the input, I can adjust the first "roughing" passes and slow it down for a final pass, can also adjust the step down as well.

HS_RJ,
Thanks for the reply, its a carbide, two flute stub length ball nose end mill. Kyocera's 1635 series. Its kind of production, I'll probably cut 40 total just to have some extras. If you need...
I have a customer who needs some text and graphics (line art) milled into an aluminum plate. The depth of cut is .015", I'm using a down spiral .030" bit and my max. spindle speed for my machine is...
The CNC was retrofitted with the cutter heads. We can swap them out when we need them between milling and knife cutting.
Yes, coding is critical. I was cutting small plastic tokens (circles) 1.5" in...
Alex,
Yes, I got a bunch of knives and creasing tools direct from EcoCam with the heads. I've already broke a couple as I don't have any documentation as to how fast the feed rate needs to be, etc....
Dani,
I'll take any or all information you have on that cutter and how it works. Thank you,
would PM work best, I'd rather call but I'm sure our hours are very different. I can't wait to use this...
I have a EOT-2 and a TCT-1 with a variety of bits. Does anyone know what software would work best with these heads. The manufacturer is in German and is absolutely no help at all. They suggest "I...
I found a great .pdf online that talks about vacuum tables. I shaved off .0625" on each side of the top spoil board, edge banded the sides and drilled the holes in the Plenum larger from .125" to...
One of the guys PM me and pointed me to HOME, they have air permeable foam similar what I was looking for...still costs but MUCH more affordable.
I guess I'm willing to look into it if its available, whats the cheapest, GCode is Gcode...I don't really need something like Solidworks or MasterCam as far as building models, we're more art...
Interesting, Exp PVC would make a good cutting surface. Are you using a vacuum bed?
I have a vacuum table set up on our 4Axis machine and I'm getting mixed results and performance.
The bed itself is made from 2 3/4" thick MDF boards with a plastic cowling underneath, reinforced my...
We have an Eco Cam tangential knife cutter and creasing wheel for our 4-axis router.
What would you recommend for a cutting surface for a tangential knife cutter?
The manufacturer suggests an air...
Does anyone know of a software platform that can create a true 4-Axis GCode? We have a 4-Axis CNC and all the code we find generates cuts on one plane, then rotates and cuts on another plane....
Awesome, thanks. Did you have any issues grinding and polishing afterwards?
I have a customer who wants me to cut .06" sheets of aluminum. Our mill is not designed for this type of work so I'm wondering if there is an acceptable spindle speed and feed rate that would work....
Does anyone know of a technique to weld cracked cymbals?
