Re: Looking at adding a 5.5W LED laser to the CNC

I definitely be interested in experimenting with it, I've always wanted to build a 100w CO2 laser but can't justify the costs, and I'm working on a project now that I need to cut out some stencils and a laser would work out well. I was thinking of adding doing a laser upgrade to my Makergear M2, htt...

Re: CNC Rotary Plasma Experiments

Wow, that is so awesome, you've been busy it seems. Just so I understand this correctly, did you switch the Y axis to the Harmonic drive and disconnect the A axis? And there was nothing special done to the GCode?

Re: My first Voice Over Video

What is your end goal with the video's? Are you trying to become a youtube video producer with subscribers so get ad revenue or are you just trying to make your video's clearer for instruction manuals? I think knowing this will help work out how you go about producing the videos.

Re: Harmonic Rotary Drive

That's so awesome, I didn't even think of that for cutting angle iron, but it makes total sense. Are you thinking of manually writing the gcode or doing it through a CAM program?

Using a 1/32" carbide bit, I tried was 18k rpm, feedrate 20 ipm, plunge of 10ipm and depth per pass of 0.01". I broke the bit, although I think I had it out of the collet too far... I'm really not sure what the recommended way is and from what I've read it I can't find anything consistent....

Hi All, I have a sheet of 1/16" G10 that I'm cutting and I'm having difficulty with the suggested feed rates for cutting it. I can't seem to find much consistent information. Has anyone had success in cutting it? I've purchased these Diamond Cut Bits http://precisebits.com/products/carbidebits/...

Replicating a part for CNC

Hi, I have an existing CNC'd part that was cut from Carbon fiber which I would like to replicate and cut on my KRMx02. It's a part that fits into an existing structure so it needs to be very precise. I was thinking of going down the path of a Digital Probe (don't really know how to do this) if this ...
