his video give me confidence in the rigidity of linear rails, they are perfect, my ignorance imagined the tool to chatter/vibrate due to movement

How much did the spindle cost? What kind of accuracy, repeatability and precision you're getting? 9:05 - Is that a gigantic herb grinder you just made lol

I hear some rigidity chatter when it mills on x- and when cuts linearly along the y axis. Interesting result though. You could push a bit faster from what i see and hear, maybe 20% more with 10%less width.

Hello, what kind of tape (tape + glue?) are you using, and is it reliable solution? Especially when stock gets warm/hot and after contact with water

I've never had issues even with large amounts of mist coolant. I probably wouldn't use flood on it but yet again you probably shouldn't use flood on a shapeoko lol. I've found even after mist coolant, this method of work holding remains stronger than clamps (I did a hammer test afterwards to try and get the part off and compared it to clamps). Funny enough the only time I completely broken an endmill was when I was using clamps and the part flew off.

Hello Jiajer Ho, wonderfull mod. Can you tell more about your X axis linear rail update ? I can't se but did you also updated the Y axis ?
@jiajerho48153 жыл бұрын
Hello, the Y axis is the standard Y axis. I did not see a point in upgrading the Y Axis because it was already very strong and I wasn't able to get it to skip steps even pulling on it. Although it does have upgraded belts like the steel belts. The X axis has linear rails and the steel core belts as well. Instead of the V-wheels, it was upgraded to linear rails as the new spindle is very heavy the biggest problem I had with the Shapeoko was the deflection along the X axis which is caused by the V wheels. The new upgrade improves rigidity a lot along the X axis.

@@jiajerho4815 Thank you very much for this. I'm think of adding a linear rail on the X axis to but I was thinking of keeping the current V wheel and adding a top and bottom linear rails. Will see how it work.

Is that the 220v or 110v VFD? Also what’s your feeds and speeds there. Looks like about 100mm / m. I was wondering about the torque at low rpms on these spindles. Any chance it could do steel at say 20mm / m?
@jiajerho48153 жыл бұрын
this was a 110V VFD. They were around 60 inch/min. The issue with steel is you need to go at lower rpm to prevent heat and chatter but that will significantly decrease the torque. Steel cutting with a router is pretty much impossible to achieve good surface finish. I would suggest a mill for that.

@@jiajerho4815 i have a sherline 2010 mill I’m converting to cnc. I’ve seen a 2.2kv spindle crushing stainless without too much issue. Conventional only and a 0.3 mm axial doc. My machine is pretty ridged it’s just that wack 500w spindle it came with is like an electric toothbrush.
@Thorhian3 жыл бұрын
@@fsecofficial 2.2KW is plenty of power to cut steel. The question is whether or not the spindle's motor is designed to have more torque at lower RPMs. A lot of these super cheap Chinese ER collet spindles are specifically built to operate at around 18K-24K RPM. At those RPMs, you will need to have a really large feed rate with a smaller tool to mill steel properly, which requires a rigid machine. A typical CNC router isn't really rigid enough to be milling steel at high speeds.

@@Thorhian I got a little sherline 2010 mill that chews up steel ok. I think it’s just a matter of how much time do you have. I mean a file can be used to mill steel but a Bridgeport is always gonna win the race. I get that. I just have an old router I got a few years back and I always wanted to upgrade the spindle and see if I could at least get decent results in some 6061t and maybe some brass (nasty stuff on routers). This POS 800w cheese grader it came with can’t machine jello unless it’s a 0.01mm doc with a 0.2mm radial step over on a 7mm 2 flute carbide flat endmill I can make it work. Surface finish is like shit but it does make some shapes lol. Speed tapping forget about it. Climb milling forget about it. It does make the best toothpicks and scrap metal in town though. 😂
@Thorhian3 жыл бұрын
@@fsecofficial Yeah, I know. Heck, my statement probably justifies why your Sherline works well. You likely have a spindle that can deliver more torque in the lower RPM range rather than spin up to insane RPM's that only make sense for cutting wood and aluminum on hobby machines due to the lack of rigidity and power of motors driving each axis.

Why did you machine the entire face of the material if you planned on cutting circles out? That is a lot of unnecessary machining.
@jiajerho48152 жыл бұрын
By doing adaptive clearing instead of a giant contour, it prevents the material in the middle from flying out causing severe damage to the tool and possibly the machine. It clears out the side so that wouldn't happen.

@@SlideoStudios basically the hdm will only have the advantage of ball screws, other than that my pro with hdz, 2.2kw spindle and linear rails is essentially going to be doing the same thing: I’d be willling to bet both would make parts the same roughly.
