Yes, I was quite surprised when I found this limitation. It works fine just setting the resolution of the servos lower but definitely not ideal. I believe they're working on increasing the speed but no idea when that will come out.

I got it from Debrunner Metallservice. They're quite easy to work with and inexpensive as long as you buy enough. There is a 50chf minimum for any size, so for smaller pieces you need to buy quite a few not to overpay. Otherwise there are a couple of Metalladen around where you can get smaller pieces that also often have a cutoff bin where you can get small pieces for the weight price.

It became a really nice machine. It’s just this balancing act of cost vs need. I understand you might have some income on your guitars that can defend the cost. But as an hobbyist using the frame from rat rig to 1900$ is not a bad choice either. Then buying AliExpress electronics I made something similar with 2.2 kw spindle ( but without the possibility for an atc/ perhaps using rapidchange ), nema34 hybrid steppers and fluidnc firmware/ software ( off course not as good and accurate as yours by far), but i ended up around 3500$ for the machine and 4000$ with a table in 4080. The problem is that the devil is in the details. I must say I envy you your leadshine motors, your Spinogy spindle and your Saunders mounting plate. Congrat on a great build!

For sure, for purely hobby this is way overkill. Also if I had to pay for every component out of pocket I would have gone with the 10k version I talked about after the cost breakdown. ATC definitely adds a few thousand to any CNC build, just the 10 tool holders in my case are over 2k retail price. You can get cheaper ones that are probably good enough for hobby but you'd still be looking at 500-1000 for a set of 10 with usable collets.

Ist schon richtig cool so eine Maschine zu haben, vor allem wenn man sie hat kann man sie immer weiter erweitern... man ist also quasi nie fertig damit. Ich modifiziere immer noch meine erste konvertierte China Fräse und Drehmaschine und baue sehr spezielle Dinge dran, das spart alles zusammen eine richtige Menge Geld. Bei meiner 2. Maschine, eine restaurierte CNC habe ich dann aber gesehen dass es besser ist den alten Maschinen neues Leben einzuhauchen als größere Maschinen neu zu bauen. Es ergibt sich immer wiedermal dass Maschinen knapp vor der Verschrottung noch gerettet werden können und man so an Top Maschinen kommt (wenn man nur die Struktur bewertet).

Hi David, nice build! One question, if your table where you built the gantry & frame is not very flat, and your beams are not precision machined, and your linear rails are also not straight, how do you know that the machine will be good? I understand that maybe the aluminium extrusions are somewhat OK, but you really dont know if you dont have a reference surface. Building such a nice machine just to discover it only performs +-0,5mm or so would be bad. Perhaps there is a S-curve to the rails, or a bend in the extrusions. How did you deal with this? Thanks
@DarkArtGuitars
@DarkArtGuitars 4 күн бұрын
I don't have the metrology equipment to properly measure this, but the profiles are remarkably straight. Of course not precision machined, but also machined profiles are only as precise as the machine they were made on. While I can't give you an exact number, the accuracy is definitely way better than +-0.5mm, probably closer to +-0.05mm which is plenty for the stuff I do. If I ever need more I can always go back and improve it.

I have a 2'x3' cnc router that is produced by a US company and has similar capabilities (has a full steel construction), it was around $18k for the cnc after all the add ons and upgrades from factory, shipping was a little more then $2k and it was financed which adds around $1k. $16k sounds about right...

Spindle looks amazing. Dont high RPM result in higher tool wear? I was told >16k RPM was no good for the bits.
@DarkArtGuitars
@DarkArtGuitars 6 күн бұрын
That depends a lot on the size of the tools you use. For larger bits you need slower rpm to get the same speed at the cutting edge versus the material. If you go too fast at the cutting edge you will cause more heat and premature failure. But as you reduce the tool size you need to increase the rpm to get the same surface speed, that's where high rpm can dramatically increase your possible cutting speed. The 16k rpm you mention would probably be about the max I want to run a 8-12mm endmill depending on the material, but with some of the tiny endmills I use for inlay work I would use 40k if I had it and still have less speed at the cutting edge than an 8mm tool at 16k.

@droneforfun5384 5 күн бұрын
@ thanks for reply. Your machine looks like a dream and video guide of it was right on point. Yes i see, the cutting edge distance from the rotation center dramatically changes the rpm requirement 😊 Do you know if this spindle can handle lower rpm with good torque for occationally steel milling? Is there any spindle/servo on the market that can deal with wood carving as well as ”ok” steel milling? I assume wood require about 10-40k rpm, but ideally steel milling would be best <10k bit with a lot higher torque ofcourse.
@DarkArtGuitars
@DarkArtGuitars 4 күн бұрын
@@droneforfun5384 Yes, this spindle can also do quite well at lower rpm. I specifically went with the 4 pole winding option which gives more torque at lower rpm too. Now if you want to go demolish steel with a 12mm endmill you might want to look at a spindle with more raw horsepower, 2.2kw will only get you so far, but for more light duty work it will be perfect. You can also reach out to spinogy with your requirements and they will be happy to assist you to choose the right options as there are many different winding and power configurations possible with their spindles. You can also google Spingoy X22 or X30 manual and in there you can find the rpm vs torque and power curves for the various configurations.

still curious if you figured out a way to accurately tune your y axis dual drive motors or if you feel that they are just working OK? I really want to use servos in future builds but just can't wrap my head around the "well they seem to be working well" vs. actually being able to tune them properly. I get the single motor axis drives where you can run the tuning program under actual load conditions, but the dual drive thing makes me crazy not actually knowing they are tuned correctly. I feel someone could make a fortune and sell a whole lot of servos if this could be figured out and not be so "witchcrafty"..... BTW, been following this whole build. You should be super proud of yourself. This is a beast of amazing enginuity. You really outdid most builds I've seen in KZbinVerse. BRAVO!!!!
@DarkArtGuitars
@DarkArtGuitars 6 күн бұрын
I mentioned it briefly here, I tuned them by disconnecting one and making the gantry lighter. It's a hacky workaround but better than no tuning at all. I believe if you get the higher end servo drives they allow you to connect the drives together and work as one with communication between. This should also allow for them to be tuned together. Check out the Fiber Laser from Travis Mitchel, he uses that feature of the Leadshine drives. (Believe he has EL7 or EL8 instead of the EL6 I have)

Awesome machine. Very well done 👍 For the fixture plate I have made very good experience with a 25mm thick POM plate with a 25mm grid of threads and alignment holes, combined with a 25mm grid vacuum channel for a 5mm foam cord. POM is durable enough and especially for woodworking the fixation bolts don't need to be tightened too crazy. It can be easily used with an MQL, in contrast to any woden spoil boards. But the best feature is the vacuum holding. Especially larger parts are so easy to be done. And with a VacuCard, VillMill, etc. also easy to make cut-outs and to mill slightly below the workpiece bottom, but not into the actual plate. So it is not a "spoil" board, but a true fixture plate...

To solve the output level, try and find a broken SM57 microphone and salvage the transformer from it. It gives you more signal without amplifying much of the noise. I believe Shure use a 1:4 step up. On top of that, stronger magnets basically give you free output volume. Consider N52 neodymium magnets. :)

Hi! Absolutely gorgeous guitar :) If you see this, just wanted to ask, how do you feel the Nova tremolo compares to something like a Floyd Rose for exteme Steve Vai style usage, especially its long term durability? I hear it's very light but I'm concerned about its sustain and how sturdy it is for heavy dive bomb usage long term, especially compared to the Sophia. I'm trying to choose between the Nova and the Sophia for a currently ongoing custom build and I'm used to a Floyd Rose on my current Ibanez JEMJR, so was looking for some perspective before I make my decision since the Sophia's much more expensive.
