i attended the wood show in toronto on sept 25,there were a good display of cnc machines form the big beasts to the little not so reasonable to buy. The one caught my eye working is my next aspire project (after i get the hardware up and running) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4UC1D-GboI the machin...

I also learned :I forget this:
If the mach3 is formated in mm
the velocity is 6000 mm/min to 8000 mm/min"

here is what i have learned --" on motor tuning (config section) look at the section ' velocity inch. mm. minute' the number is low (normally 250 to 300 inch. min) if the velocity (example 100) if the toolpath have 300 inch./minute, the maximum speed is 100 (the speed is still blocked at 100 He sugg...

i will ask him

Well not sure what to say but the gentleman that did the program put all the specs into the mach 3 file (*.tap) and i also found the machine to move like crazy. In fact on the backside cut which makes the router go deeper and deeper towards the outer edge i cut back a bit on the feed rate a bit. Sec...

found this on utube showing the steps involved with doing the plates

I think it looks good,its only going to get better once you get used to the spindle

11x11x 3/4 white pine 5 toolpaths 3 tool bits and 34 min ,found it very fast almost scarey
Still needs a clear coat but it looks ok
I find this 3d stuff really interesting

you're welcome ,these cnc machines and aspire software are just amazing ,just wish i were on top of the world with the software use,i find its slow and forgetfull

same material butterenut but on the finish toolpath i chaged the res or stepover to 10%
instead of 14% and it took much longer but a better cut ,still not perfect because butternut tears
like canvas

11.0 x 11.0 x 1/375 thick 2 toolpaths 2 tool changes 61 min
requires a bit of sanding and the eyes/mouth needs to be popped out

i'm located in kincardine and i will be there,right up my alley

Thanks Jim but until i can design a lathe for the machine and possibly do something like you're doing---i still have a long road ahead. The one real big stumbling stone is that when you're designing and cutting out projects its ok and you feel like you know ,then leave it alone say a month or 3 week...

the material is white pine 3/4 thick 11.25x11.25 and i screwed it down to the table (4 #6 screws)(marked an x on both sides dead centre) I machined out the backside first then moved the head back and flipped the board over ,turned ok, guess i was real close. I really didn't know how it was going to ...
