Re: Black Diamond gantry upgrade

I just ordered my aluminum plate. I guess this replaces the HDPE original but:

Re: Got my NWA 4th axis ordered

We have been waiting for 3 years. Maybe Next Wave could jump in here and
give us some info(?) I would like to know what we are getting for $800, what
is involved in setting it up, running it and I don't really need another chuck (Nova)
why are we left scratching our heads?

Re: 1st cut in aluminum

Bracket in action. I replace the plastic depth stop on my HF drill press. I stuck the two
1/4" aluminum plates together with JB Weld.

Re: 1st cut in aluminum

Since I'm new to cutting 1/4" aluminum, I used the default rates. Spindle - 12,000. Feed - 100. Plunge - 30.
I did slow the FRO to 35 and cut my colt to 1/2 speed. The pass depth I set to 0.03". It worked pretty well
Could may have sped up the FRO. trial & error

1st cut in aluminum

My first try in 1/4" aluminum. This is a bracket I cut, broke one bit & gummed up others before I used the up spiral. I followed the bit with compressed air. Sure beats a hacksaw ;)

He stated that he worked on a patch for it. The control panel is being tested in our shop at the moment a...
