We are using the CNC 46″ Turner With 3HP Spindle (which shipped to us with Vectric Aspire 9 software):
https://lagunatools.com/cnc/cnc-turners ... er-3-axis/
Using Aspire 9, a wrapped job, using a profile we made with Illustrator, we are using the “default” post-processor that came with Aspire 9, the “Laguna CNC Turner”
The G-Code produced using Aspire 9 for either the “Laguna CNC Turner” or “Laguna HHC Rotary Y-Wrap” doesn’t appear to contain any info for Spindle Speed, Feed Rate, Stepover, etc...Based on the Post-Processor code headers, I assume this info should be included?
If the G-Code doesn’t contain Spindle Speed, Feed Rate, Stepover, etc, how do I pass this job info to the Laguna CNC Turner? Where on the RichAuto A11 HHC controller can I override default (?) settings?
Roughing settings, based on 0.2 chipload and ½” end-mill bit (2 flutes, 0.35” at tip):
Pass depth = 0.175”
Stepover = 0.1” (20%)
Spindle speed = 18000 rpm
Feed rate = 180 in/min
Plunge rate = 30 in/min
Finishing settings, based on 0.1 chipload and ¼” ball nose bit (2 flutes, 0.25” at tip):
Pass depth = 0.125”
Stepover = 0.025” (10%)
Spindle speed = 18000 rpm
Feed rate = 90 in/min
Plunge rate = 30 in/min
This youtube video appears to show some HHC spindle speed settings, but not sure how it works: https://youtu.be/TB6u30819NA
