@@karlavolk8886 The main up/down cylinder has to be bleed, there is a port at the top, because it is single acting. All other cylinders have a line either side of the piston, so the air will eventually make it to the tank. Around the 18:00 mark I used a ratchet strap to pull the carriage back towards the cylinder to get the pin in. Good luck!

Where are you located? That price seems really high. Boulders can be challenging for getting good slabs out of. If there are cracks and fissures, I wouldn't try. Granite countertops are cut from massive blocks free of defects.

China is probably the cheapest/fastest. Price is around $30K USD plus shipping/tariffs for a CNC one. To build one yourself, it all depends on how complicated you want it. All you need is a way to move the saw up/down (I've see others use an old forklift mast, or an automotive hoist/lift). You can buy pulley wheels from China for fairly cheap, or I've seen someone use trailer tires, and just run the wire in a groove in the tire.

Great job as always. I looked at your work on your website, it’s very beautiful! You manage not to spoil but to emphasize the natural beauty of the stone. And this is not as simple as it seems. Bravo. And by the way, I advise you to try powders instead of a buff. I saw you use TENAX products. I believe they have powders. The powder removes fine dust well that gets clogged into the pores of the stone. The technique is the same as with a buff, only you use a felt disc with a little water and you also need to “heat” the stone while polishing. You will get "depth" of polishing and mirror finish.

Great video. I noticed when you cut shapes, the guide rollers do not change their position following the direction of the wire. Are there any problems with this?
@GregsStoneYard 11 ай бұрын
I have purchased parts (servos, gearboxes with hollow shaft) and figured out the math (I think) to calculate the rotation (normal to the direction of travel)... HOWEVER as you see just leaving them in place they work well enough. The liners wear faster than if the wheels stayed normal to travel. It's on my list of things to make better :) but for now the robot takes up my spare time. FWIW on the first Italian CNC saws the guide wheels did not move.
@GregsStoneYard 11 ай бұрын
Also I should mention, that when doing wire profiling (CNC cutting) I generally cut a bit slower (feed rate), than if just cutting straight down making slabs. For wire cutting there is always a "bow" in the wire. So the center of the cut always lags the edges. If you have too much bow the center will not have the same shape as the edges. The CAM software also compensates for this by slowing the feed rate for changes of direction. But I also cut slower so there is less bow, you can't go too slow or the cut will be rough. If I were to go too fast there is a risk the wire would jump off the guide wheels since they do not follow the cut.

Hi Denis. I have, it does work. The problem is that the chains are very expensive compared to circular blades or diamond wire.

Hi Denis, I just watched some of your videos and subscribed. They are very good! Yes, you can see some other videos where I go over making my saw. I did start out with an old saw that used an abrasive slurry that only went up/down on a timer. Now it has 3 axis (x,y and rotary on the x). If you have about $30kUSD, then just buy one from China. Otherwise you can buy the big wheels (1550mm) from China for about $1000USD each. Or buy 4 smaller wheels. The larger radius of the big wheels help with wire breakage, but I think that was more a problem in the past. As I see some Italian saws now using 4 smaller wheels instead of two larger ones. I did mine with simple regular 3 phase induction motors using VFD's controlled by the CNC controller. So if you have those items laying around, you can make one cheaply. If you want names of Chinese supplier for the wheels just ask.

@@randomroutingThe Fusion post is meant to take a 3 axis milling routine. Not sure how useful it would be for your situation. Fusion itself knows nothing of robots. The post processor sets a really low robot speed, which I didn't notice. It was so slow even the simulated robot looked like it wasn't moving. That confused me for a while :). The simulation in Robot Studio requires the paid license (or the trial). Over here it is now prohibitively expensive (equivalent to 4500 Euros/year).

I was doing a tooldata->Define using the 4 points + Z. This is one of the points. The tool that I have in the spindle has another piece that attaches to it, that is used to grind stone. It's ring shaped and it wears, so I set the TCP to be center of the holder. Then after doing the Define, I adjusted the X offset (as the spindle is rotated 90 degrees about Y from tool0) by the thickness of the ring (I add 10mm). The error values displayed at the end of the define were: 0.55mm max, min 0.22, mean of 0.34mm. When I put it in orient jog mode it seems to jog around the point well. I know this is usually done with a pointed tool in the holder but: I wanted to make sure I got the tool oriented plumb/normal, that's easier with a flat tool, the only pointed tool I had wasn't very pointed and difficult to line up. But if you think this is wrong, please let me know. I want to learn if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.
