Progress Update 22/09/21 KP / 5/2/22 ARTAG
- Win 10 PC setup
- VR CNC Mill v5 installed
- 2D CAM Pro installed
- Machine jogs-OK
Sometimes, all motors seem to be disabled and attempts to jog or start the spindle are met with an error dialog. The only way I have found so far to avoid this is to close everything down, then restart by first switching on the router cabinet and then starting the PC.
- home cycle-OK
- spindle runs-OK
Next steps
- mcodes test
- sample output from obsolete software
- tool change
- add links to correct use of ER20 collets
- gcode generation
- gcode editors
- CAM tools
- fixturing
- Underlying aluminium t-slot table
- as-delivered sacrificial table
- replacement bolt-down table
- cut something
- dust extraction
There is a hole at the top rear left of the cabinet which may be used for dust extraction - either a separate unit or a connection to the shop extractor. However, the cutting dust tends to lie around the cutter so some means to move it to the extraction is required. Possibilities are throwing it into the air and then extracting the air, or sucking directly at the cutting tip. There is a small air pump in the cabinet whose output is taken to a connector under the gantry parking position. This may be used to disturb the air near the cutter, and a flexible hose to the extraction used to remove it. The hoses needed may get in the way : this requires some experiment. A dust shoe may be helpful but will hide the cutting point from view.
