Getting started with CNC and Mach3 (The first steps Video 3) CNC MILLING/MACHINING ALUMINIUM

[@terjegjerstad9692]

I like your explenation. You go deep and explain it from the bottom and up. You have helped me a lot to enter the CNC world. Have a nice sunday. 🇧🇻

[@rogerwebb9600]

Great to hear!

[@forrestgumpv9049]

I missed the name of the cadcam program you used to write the program. Nice mill and video. I would cover the z-axis ball screw to protect the bearings from chip dammage.

[@spudnickuk]

could you explain how the cutter ends back to the start point so you can change the tool.

[@jameshui7817]

Thanks so much. it was very simple and practical way ..

[@rogerwebb9600]

You're welcome!

[@sugarbuzztv]

Is it possible to use the tool information section to set you tool heights without having to reset your zero every time?

[@sugarbuzztv]

Also, is this machine capable of 3d scalping?

[@rogerwebb9600]

Yes, but have a look at my CNC Routers

[@edwardsimmons3721]

Great content. Thanks for sharing.

[@rogerwebb9600]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikalaki1]

Nice video thanks, I installed mach3 Turn and configured it however when I put in Gcode I get dro and tool path working but can’t it get the motor moving again if I jog the axis I get dro running but no motor movement. Where am I going wrong. Can you help. Thanks

[@rogerwebb9600]

I have a video to help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZSkpHSHis93hMk

[@GiltronTheOne]

Can you use a misting tip instead?

[@fsiserir]

Thank you, Roger yes, it is a very nice piece. I would like to know if it is possible for the software (programm) to do the setting of z automatically?

[@henrymiller9055]

I am curious about your cooling pump set up, I have a mister system but your flood system is interesting to me. What are tou using for the pump and recirculation system?

[@rogerwebb9600]

Hi Henry, I use an 80 Watt fish tank pump

[@William27595]

Hello how are you? Can you tell me if it is possible to make a tapping thread ?

[@GerritenMyriam]

Good evening, wouldn't it be better to program the center drill and following operations (in Fusion 360) on a stock that is 0.5 mm smaller, so we wouldn't have to do "the 0.5mm thing" again and again? There would also be less chance of making errors?

[@cwozildjian]

Yes or you can just type in -0.5mm so it would be the same difference. If you kept the drill where you zerod it without having to jog it up to +0.5mm. Edit* I'm actually not sure if you can do that in mach3 like more expensive CNC controllers I haven't tried it yet so that may be the reason he does it like that.

[@eddie1330]

Hi Roger Just to say, I'm quite sure you can set the Z at the bottom of the job, then no need having to keep setting Z height I could be wrong Lol Great videos

[@johnbosson3484]

You obviously need to set the z zero position every time you change a tool bit - great videos Roger - very easy to understand for a beginner

[@eddie1330]

Yes every time you make a tool change you right I used to have a cnc machine myself If you set Zero at the bottom It's sometimes easyer, that's all I'm saying

[@chriswilson2222]

Why Mach 3 VS SMC-5-5

[@awesomeisthename22]

anthony????!!!

[@shakes73499]

That would only work if the original work piece is flat and true.
