Very scary great care as to be exercised you either going to burn yourself or squish something As for holding work when milling i nearly always use a vice something similar to this http://www.axminster.co.uk/accu-lock-machine-vice-4. My mill can only machine about 85mm in Y axis so i tend to buy 100mm stock width and just shove it in the vise .

Wish i could build a case round mine seem to spend more time sweeping up . Have found the more WD40 i use the less the chips tend to fly . Well sort of on topic but in the wrong thread when will i ever get it right ? D1 D1, Put your post in CNC hope you don't mind, I have a machine vice 100mm across the jaws, a bit heavy so link will come in useful , Y axis 150mm. The parallels are on my list of "needs", useful link, thanks. I have 5L of WD40, useful for hedge trimmer blades etc. and now for machining _________________ Smile, it gives your face something to do! http://www.vimeo.com/user1214873/videos http://www.youtube.com/user/MrReggub

A quick test machining a pulley profile in a bit of scrap aluminium, use a 2mm mill at approx 10,000rpm and a cutting speed of 20mm/sec, cut depth a tentative 0.25mm with 10mm/sec plunge to a final depth of 3mm. Will try the CMC Cookbook speed and feed wizard 30day trial and also calibrate the spindle speed with a black and white disc using a light bulb (50hz mains). Gardening is going to be a big problem for the next month or two, so much tree and hedge cutting, still the workshop will make a handy retreat for rainy days Attachments: 10T_XL_Pulley.jpg [ 52.43 KiB \| Viewed 12190 times ] _________________ Smile, it gives your face something to do! http://www.vimeo.com/user1214873/videos http://www.youtube.com/user/MrReggub

In fact i was surprised when it turned up couldn't really tell from photo . So the one you have may be same as mine . I had to slice i bit off the rear with a angle grinder so i could get full Y travel You got another one in before my ultra slow typing . I've never altered the spindle speed just leave it on full ali . I would suggest doing a pass with a bigger bit first though . I think theirs is a relationship between mill diameter and how deep you can cut . I tend to remove as much stuff with a 6mm then finish off with a 2.5mm for a htd5 pulley . Have you tried ball nose mills and side profiles you can get great radius and slopes [flickr]2015-01-29 13.50.01 by D 1, on Flickr[/flickr] [flickr]2015-01-29 12.13.51 by D 1, on Flickr[/flickr] D1

I have ordered bits from all over was going to see which seemed best . Afraid just got confused couldn't remember which was which some def better than others though . I did order a selection of ball nose from China they were cheap and i just cut acrylic with them so fine. Theirs a unit on one of the industrial estates i work that chucks out loads of acrylic . Very handy for a Yorkshire man .You can get very smooth curves just depends on depth increment i tend to stick to .2mm takes ages but you just do a bit of weeding . I would eventually like to get a fourth axis but Cambam isn't set up for that . Realised your mill can run at a much higher spindle speed than mine . Mine tops out at 2500 so you may have a advantage over SX2. D1

Long cutters are not cheap, but very sharp, box of plasters on order Should be able to go 1/2 cutter dia per cut for slot type cut and 1 cutter dia when profiling at a couple of hundred mm/min, we'll see. Maybe the weeding / pruning option would be better When you do a two pass cut on the pulleys , do you set up two profiles in CamBan with first profile set with the large cutter data and a second profile with the smaller cutter? That was my plan and then to edit a M1 into the resulting G code at the tool change code half way through and the Mach3 M1 Optional Stop set On and use the break to change tools or do you produce two separate files? _________________ Smile, it gives your face something to do! http://www.vimeo.com/user1214873/videos http://www.youtube.com/user/MrReggub

As for different passes with different tools i just tend to create a new file adapted from original drawing . I tend to find its only bits that need the small tool treatment rather the entire job . Their is prob a easier way but i just tend to find a way that suits me . D1

For aluminium, I use the type made for the purpose. All this talk of CNC mills is making me jealous, so I will have to adapt my mill as soon as I find the time. Edward

But the carbide bits are much better and its worth the extra money as long as you don't snap them Think i have said before Edward you may need to attack the mill with a angle grinder . My Y axis wouldn't fit but it wasn't a huge problem . You wont regret spending the time . D1

edward Joined: Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:36 pm Posts: 408	Re: CAD, CAM, CNC etc. I've never snapped a endmill, too cautious perhaps, but I have clogged one small bit when aluminium melted due to the high temperature. The worst thing I snapped was a poor quality tap. Then I couldn't retrieve it from the hole and it ruined a part. Now I only use top quality German taps, the difference is incredible. In general it pays to invest in good tooling, I have been stingy in the past and regretted it. My latest tool? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOGA-NG1200-R ... 3f2ebb102e Sheer indulgence, but it's a pleasure to use:) Edward

Dont think you get quite as much X travel though and the tool change is in the way if you want to put a long piece in, But that been said i do like it let me know if you find any useful reviews. Snapping bits is a CNC thing . Its usually rapids between cuts that catch you out and you dont get any feed back through hand wheeels . D1

D1 i used to run an intermac stone cnc mostly beginners er trainee operators tended to break the tool holders when changing tools not sure why. the only thing i could put it down to was the machine liked to do things in a certain order trying to change that "order" and it would bite you. i figured it was easier to work with the machine rather than against it. i swear it had its own character. another way to do it would be drop down too quick in the z axis that usually broke the bit or the granite slab or both and my personal favorite inputting a height of 20mm when the piece was 40 mm thick the trouble with a cnc is when something breaks the whole factory hears it.

Cabinet for mill requires some permanent sides but an old window blind and a piece of hardboard came in handy to get going. Two LED strip lights (waterproof enclosures) to be placed in an appropriate position when I have decided where that is The noise reduction is quite considerable when the front panel is in place, not that there is a great deal of noise anyway. Enclosure looks large but mill bed / stepper motors in X and Y axes comes to within 25mm of sides and front at full extents. Part way through machining, I have to turn part over and re-centre. Using centre as datum rather than edges as all features are relative to the centre.

I didn't know there were tabletop mills with a tool changer. That saves a lot of time. Mike, nice looking pulley. We used to mill the part from one side, then flip it over and do a surfacing pass to release the part. Alignment is not so critical if the back is just being surfaced. Parts that had to be milled on both sides, had to be done the hard way. Probably restating the obvious here, but worth it if it helps.

Sorry to disappoint with the pulley type, had XL on the brain when I wrote that but I can generate XL with http://www.gearotic.com/ and import DFX to CamBam The MPG works quite well on x1 and to x100, x1000 is a bit jerky, I have the default setting as loaded. Need to understand pigeon Chinese to stand a chance of setting it up properly All that talk of casting aluminium the other week, now I know why Hi, James, I need to flip and align, I have another bearing pocket to produce + I need to remove most of the material from the centre almost to the edge of the bearing pocket for the through bolts that will clamp the end plates of the slew bearing to the pulley. _________________ Smile, it gives your face something to do! http://www.vimeo.com/user1214873/videos http://www.youtube.com/user/MrReggub

I do find you can usually rip a DXF from the stuff you find on http://www.tracepartsonline.net/(S(idol ... btwl02pxgk))/content.aspx?home=1&class=TRACE . Yes MPG is ok but i would describe it as jerky to. I was expecting the faster i turned the wheel the faster the axis would move correspondingly . Instead i can either nudge it at 100 1000 etc or move it at one set speed . Their is also another setting that gives you two speeds the faster i move the wheel . This may be as good as it gets but my main reason for its purchase was to get rid of the keyboard . D1

I thought about importing one of their bigger mills when I was shopping (only about a year ago) but the size / weight put me off. That an the hassle of importing. With the power draw bar I would of had one of these over the KX1 I eventually ended up with any day of the week. Theres is a video on Toermachs homepage: http://www.tormach.com.

A code is required by the carrier so that the correct amount of duty can be applied if you use them to deal with import duty, 2.7% in my case. D1, try this link for small mills, should be what you are looking for this time http://www.cutwel.co.uk/milling/milling ... b80-series Note the blue down arrow to the right of the shopping trolley when you get to the last item on the page, the are many more mills when you scroll down.

I just remember being disappointed no mill in that size bracket at the time had a power draw bar. A year or so later along comes both the KX1s and then the Tormach. Typical. I looked at the Wabeco's again and I do envy the spindle power which is three times ish the power of what I have.

It looks like you have a cream swivelling vise on top of the mill base? But then I can't see the mill base, it looks like it's underneath the perspex base, and the vise is kind of floating. It's probably an optical illusion, but i can't quite work it out, even though I have an identical mill.
