Nice video, where did you get the plexiglass for the laser? Thanks.

For some reason whenever I run the macro for the XYZ probe the Z axis engages and starts lowering but will not stop and retract and I have to hit my E stop to disengage. I tried raising the Z axis higher than the 50mm setting and retrying the macro but then the Z axis stops short of the surface of the plate. It will not keep running thru the commands for the other two axes as it should. What could I be doing wrong?

I would suggest reaching out to the manufacture of your machine. It might be a code issue, or a machine issue.

Im brand new to cnc machines. So my question may be a little dumb. After probing do you zero out the job? Or do you only zero out x,y and not z?
@kjh_woodworkingАй бұрын
Not a dumb question, everyone starts somewhere! A "Z" probe only zero's out the Z axis. A "XYZ" probe zero's out all axis'. Depending on what probe you are using, you may need to zero the X and Y axis, but never the Z. Hope that helps.

Hey Kieran, I'm a newbie to cnc. We have a 1200x600mm cnc router and I have been tasked with the job of settting up. I have a small 2D pocket part which I post processed from Fusion360. We use CNCjs and have a touch probe. My question is around finding the datum for x,y and z. I see the probe function in CNCjs but I am afraid to use it for the x and y as I don't think the supplier gave us any Gcode for the Macro. He is no longer in business. How can I find x,y on the workpiece? Thanks for your help. Just subbed to your channel.
@kjh_woodworking3 ай бұрын
You don't necessarily have to find the X and Y point with a probe, you can simply move the spindle around and zero out your axis when you at the location you want to be. Hope that helps.

Hi how are you!! I'm considering buying a diode laser cutting machine. However, I realized that caution is needed when dealing with MDF. Furthermore, I am wondering whether this precaution should be extended to other materials, especially since, regarding MDF, which is not widely discussed in Brazil, I had to seek information abroad. Although it is a topic that is rarely covered, I was concerned to discover that there is evidence that MDF may be linked to cancer, due to the gases that are produced during the laser cutting process. Unfortunately, I was unable to find information about the gases emitted when burning other materials, such as cardboard. Would you have any knowledge or information about this? Furthermore, I would like to know if there is some kind of exhaust cabin for this equipment, which is capable of filtering and cleaning these gases before they are released into the environment. Look at the answer I already had about this (if you're scared, just don't do it because everything in life causes some kind of harm to your health). Thank you in advance for your help and guidance. thanks ola tudo bem !!estou considerando comprar uma máquina de corte a laser de diodo. No entanto, percebi que é necessário ter cautela ao lidar com o MDF. Além disso, estou pensando se essa precaução deve ser estendida a outros materiais, especialmente porque, sobre o MDF, que não é amplamente discutido no Brasil, precisei buscar informações no exterior. Embora seja um tema pouco abordado, fiquei preocupado ao descobrir que há indícios de que o MDF pode estar relacionado ao câncer, devido aos gases que são produzidos durante o processo de corte a laser. Infelizmente, não consegui encontrar informações sobre os gases emitidos durante a queima de outros materiais, como exemplo também o papelão. Você teria algum conhecimento ou informação sobre isso? Além disso, gostaria de saber se existe alguma espécie de cabine de exaustão para este equipamento, que seja capaz de filtrar e limpar esses gases antes de serem liberados no ambiente. olha a resposta ja tive sobre isso (que se você esta com medo é so não fazer porque tudo na vida faz algum tipo de mal para a saúde). Agradeço desde já pela sua ajuda e orientação. obrigado
