i2R CNC UCCNC Basic Guide Part 2

[@charleswalker6109]

I load my file into the cutting software and, as recommended, I start to check the boarders by moving the yellow dot. However, I'm discovering that my design image is extremely small. It's sized correctly in Vectric. For example, my design area to cut is 10" on the X and 8" on the Y. When I jog my spindle (yellow dot) around my design area, it only has to move perhaps a couple of inches in either direction to fully cover the design area. Very confused as to what I did wrong.

good video, but you skip the most import step: "zero all " after you move the spindle to the center. and the the step after touch up, how to set z=0? and in your cam program, how you did set the z original.

Sir...i need the wiring and cardboard using for Uccnc

What’s the largest shank that fits the spindle. I’m guessing it’s 1/4”.

[@i2RCNC]

salemspap11 You’re correct the largest is currently .25” shank, ER11.

To me so many companies are missing a deck that is wider than 24 inch. A solid 30x48 would be amazing for that smaller but not limiting space. The other issue is the small 4th axis for me. I like the look of this machine btw.

noted! how about 4'x4'?

[@FEV369]

@@i2RCNC A 4x4 would be great IMO, you can do almost everything you can do on a 4x8, just takes longer to get done. Problem is that a 4x4 will run right up over 15k in most cases.

Is that a water cooled spindle? Is this available with a USB Flash drive instead? This looks a bit like Mach 3. I've had two CNCs. One Mach 3 and one USB. The USB fits better with what I want.

[@i2RCNC]

It's an air cooled spindle. We us UCCNC which is similar to mach 3. We can also get you a USB version but the UCCNC is the upgrade to the USB. Feel free to email us at [e-mail] for more information.

I had to give this a thumbs down. There was actually very little information on the Gcode and the UCCNC. You stated there would be another GCode video, but that was 4 years ago and no new UCCNC has been produced. There was no information on how to jog the spindle using the software. Overall, I would strongly suggest a new updated video.
