How To Set Up And Use Your XYZ Probe For Your CNC | KJHWoodWorking.com.au

[@MakerStoreOfficial]

Great tutorial Kieran, our team enjoyed this one! 👏

[@kjh_woodworking]

Fantastic mate! Glad everyone enjoyed it!

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?

[@kjh_woodworking]

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

Great stuff mate. I've been working through your CNC setup series. For some reason the hospital wifi restricted commenting on a few of them as "Adult Content" 🤣 We are all home now.

[@kjh_woodworking]

Cheers mate! Glad your enjoying them! Not quite sure about the 'Adult Content" haha Does this mean congratulations is in order? Congratulations mate!

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_woodworking]

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.

Hello friend, I congratulate you on your content, I see that you have a workbee cnc, do you have a video of the upgrade you made? It looks bigger. thank you

[@kjh_woodworking]

Hey! Thanks for watching. We have a number of videos about our upgrades and changes coming soon!

When routing a profile (cutting out a piece of wood), you basically make a slot and thus removal of wood chips is more difficult. For this, I can imagine that the combination of speed, feed and step down should be different from when I do pocketinig (Most of the pocketing I do is carving shapes out of wood and thus most of the time 3 sides of the bit are free to release wood chips). If I have for example a 5mm bit that I use for pocketing on 8000rpm with feed rate of 3500 mm/min and 2.5 mm step down what would be the best setup of these parameters for profiling?

[@kjh_woodworking]

What sort of machine are you using? 8000rpm seems quite low and 3500mm/min seems high for a hobbies machine?

[@ernstpeterlegrand]

​@@kjh_woodworking I am using a Bulkman 3D Ultimate Bee with 1.5 kw spindle and XPRO V5 controller . Strange thing though is when I do routing with a 3 mm down bit on 8000 with a feed of 1600 I have no burn. This is a carbide bit. While the profile routing burns

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_woodworking]

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.

Thanks for an excellent step-by-step tutorial. I tried to use your code to create a new macro in "OpenBuilds Control". I got this error message when I tried to run it: error: 2 - Numeric value format is not valid or missing an expected value. [ %ENDMILL_DIAMETER = 3.175 ] I know that you use a different controller but I'm hoping someone here can help me out. (I'm not a coder.) Thank you.

[@kjh_woodworking]

Thanks for watching mate. I am not across this, but if you check out this forum it might help. openbuilds.com/threads/grbl-error-2-when-using-x-y-z-probe-plus-and-interface.17278/

Cheers mate! Appreciate the feedback. I'll watch it back again with that in mind and try and work on it 👍

All these wonderful machines, all that knowledge and time - and all people ever make on these is useless junk! Hey, I know it pays, but these machines could be so great at actually making parts for "real" things.
