How did you get it to run windows on it? I'm looking to buy my first cnc and found one like this for a good price. Would like to upload g code from fusion 360 and via USB upload it to the machine to run the code. Do you also have usb on it ?
Students learn how to manually read and write G-Code for this machine. If you are using Fusion to generate your code, you would probably need to manually edit the prep code since I doubt that there is a post written to post process the code in any CAM system. I'd probably just use a generic post after you write your tool paths. Its a good training machine. There are better production machines out there.
@@afthang732 glad that I can help you out with your apprenticeship. I was apprenticed at one time too. Ask your journeymen lots of questions. Learn which ones you can trust for good information and which ones you can’t and keep on learning. 30 years as a tool and die maker and the more I get to know, the more I realize there’s still a lot more out there that I need to know. Best wishes!
Yep, lots of ways for people to learn now-a-days if one has the desire to learn how. Feel free to check out my other tutorials on drawing in AutoCAD, Inventor, OnShape, and Fusion and of course the software providers themselves also have learning content for anyone who wants to learn the basics. Sometimes advanced modeling techniques, tools and skills can be a little more tricky. I suppose one of the biggest differences between learning on your own vs. going to a community college to take the classes is my students usually have an easier time finding a full time job making $18-$25 an hour working in Industry. If you are just doing it as a hobby, there are lots of ways to learn on your own.
You would need to cut it away for the body of the jeep. The body of the jeep has two square posts extending out from the front. The original bumper would need to be cut off by cutting around the bumper posts. Once removed you simple glue my repro bumper onto the bumper posts.
Excellent instruction video for using NC Viewer to compose and display pre-written G code. One thing that I would like to know is how to slow down the tool path animation as it goes very fast to easily observe the action. Very useful to be able to move the tool in discreet steps; which I did not know about before viewing this video. Thanks
Yep, you could, that's one of the great things about youtube and the internet, it has never been so easy to learn how to do something if you have the desire and the ability. My tutorial videos on drawing in AutoCAD, Inventor, and OnShape are free for anyone to watch. I make them for my students but anyone can watch them. Some people can learn and pick up new skills this way. Other people need a little more structured learning in a classroom with the help of an instructor. The main thing to me is that a student keeps learning.
Some middle schools do teach tinkerCAD or other drawing software if they have any type of industrial tech or building classes. Many high schools teach it as an elective.
That’s a granite surface plate not a gage block. The gage blocks were behind the surface plate when I shot the video. We do teach the proper way to wring gage blocks and height gages for quick inspection.
I assume this was something for some students for a specific project or machine, way over complicated for something like that. I personally can't stand line numbers, I delete them when I see them. Only use them if needed. Startup line didn't even show G20 and the M0 is for sure aggravating to have right there. For the new hobby people a good startup line would not use G43. A good startup line is G0 G90 G54 G17 G20 then you need the G0 Z1.5 next line you can have G0 X0.0 Y0.0 etc. I'm guessing maybe you were doing a pocket (not sure) but I would back the Y up on the first move before plunging down. Not bashing you at all just seemed over complicated for someone that's new to this. Sadly most new hobbyist try to ignore learning Gcode but on the GRBL controllers it's very simple and we don't use G40 series numbers but instead just calculate where you need the endmill to be.
It's not that steep. Lots of tutorials available plus you had CAD in college so I think you will be fine. Hardest part for me is finding enough time to design everything I want to design.
We teach how to write basic GCode in our program to start. There are several Cad/Cam program that can be used as well. In our advanced CNC classes we teach Creo and Fusion360. students can learn to use Solidworks, Inventor, OnShape and other solid modeling programs. There are several other CAM programs that could be used to write your programs. Of course a solid understanding of Workholding, cutting tools, and cutting operations are key to writing good programs. If you don’t know how to hold the part to cut hole at a 30’degree angle or what the process to drill, bore, and ream a Hile to hold size and location your program won’t necessarily guarantee that you hold tolerance
You should make more videos on old school house plans. I’ve been teaching myself from old house plans I’ve found and recreating home or making my own. I would definitely like to learn more about it.
Are you just wanting to be able to interpret the floorplans and know what all the symbols mean or do you want to know how you would frame a house off of the floorplan drawing? If you can give me some more specifics, I'll see what I can do.
These machines are trainers and have the ability to use either controller. We change out the panel if I have industry customers that want training using the Siemens control.
I don't remember which one was picked for this. My suggestion it to keep it 2D and as simple of a drawing as you can find to begin the carving process.
It is programmed using G-Code. The machine doesn't have a tool changer so tools are manually put into the spindle after an MOO program stop code is used.
@@bradcurry7775 On the older F1 toolchange code is M06, the code line includes a tool offset column to enter the tool offset which moves the Z axis by the entered amount fot the new tool with reference to Tool No.1 which is Z=00
Excellent video, Is there anyway to repair the thing that hold the eye bolt on? I notice from looking on ebay most are broken on the trailer. And is there anything to take light scratches on the jeep, mostly the hood area. Thanks, for posting.
Novus Plastic Polish works well at removing light scratches and getting an original shine back to your vehicles. The repair around the eye bolt would depend a lot on how badly damaged it is and would probably require some type of plastic sculpting material.
