Hi all, new to the forum, new to operating a cnc, not new to CAD.
I'm putting together a build for an AvidCNC Pro that I'm going to use for hobby woodworking. One of the things I want to make sure I add to the machine in relatively short order (once I've got it up and running, dialed in, etc) is an ATC. I plan to use the S30C ATC spindle (
https://www.cncdepot.net/product-pag...d-cnc-machines). Naturally, it requires a compressor to operate the drawbar and the product page indicates it needs a compressor capable of 100psi output at 5-6cfm.
I'm curious if anyone else is using this ATC and if so, what compressor are you using. Most compressors have their SCFM rated at 90psi and pressure typically has an inverse relationship with volume. So if I get a compressor that just meets the requirements at 90psi, at 100psi the same compressor likely will not meet the requirements.
Since this is just for hobby woodworking, I'm not trying to spend a lot until I've proven the usefulness of it all but I doubt I would want a CNC without an ATC as I don't want to babysit the thing for tool changes all day.
Also, I don't know what is meant by "case pressure" so that would probably help.
TIA.
