I'm a CNC router newbie prepping for HDPE work. Can you explain what the various tools in your ATC are used for? I saw you mention you do roundover on a router table, so no roundover tool. What are the others? How many bits do you typically employ in processing a big run of cupholders or other HDPE items?
Can you explain the laminate trimmer part? Is that basically an underpowered handheld manual router you use for cutting through the onionskin? Or is it more of a full-sheet surfacing you're doing to the backside of the sheet?
I'm looking for a solution like this. I just wish it didn't have to slide to the front to swap out, it's only a matter of time before I drop a $3000 trolling motor in the river ...or worse. I'm sure the anchor holds great, but I would prefer it to be pulling against a permanent stop as well.
Very long way of calling tools i work on the 828d everyday and i call tools in one short method and its by enetering tool number in the first menu of TSM enter speed and direction of rod Ration and it's best to use g54 not basic ref...but thats my opinion
Making the rail a different color looks good for a very short time. When the rail is used for a while the coloring wears off then it looks terrible. It is better to leave it natural and you can clean it up with some scotch brite.
Do you have any videos or pics of the dust shoe itself? I have a Biesse Rover CNC router with the same HSD spindle and want to make a custom dust shoe for it. My machine also has the "pot style" tool holders so the dust shoe would not have to be removed for a tool change. I also have a 5x10 Shop Sabre plasma table.
What if our tool is deleted...how will i recover that settings...suppose, when i select tool no.5, magazine does not recognise the tool...how should i sort this out
Don't know what spoilboard you're using, but i'm currently using 3mm 820kg/m3 MDF/HDF and it works miracles. I have a friend who's doing a lot of plastics and he switched to these sheets too. Doesn't need surfacing and the relative closed structure helps to keep a deeper vacuum when slotting. Thickness of these thing panels is very consistent too, so you can replace the spoilboard without the need for zeroing the spoilboard again. (unless you're after <0,05 accuracy in Z) In my experience the normal porous MDF tends to loose a lot of air when slotting. I must admit, I recognize the relieve of stress after your machine is allmost done. :) I normally do a -,1 to -.2 mm Z in the spoilboard, flip it and replace it when it's worn out. (the smaller slots are filled with the gasket when flipping it opver). I'm using a 280m3/hr vacuum pump of 7,5Kw for a 4,5m2 bed if that helps.
Can you elaborate on your spoilboard? Am I correct in understanding it's more dense / less porous than normal MDF? Do you find it at a normal hardware store?
@@MattVoda Correct, it is more dense. Local hardwarestore? No idea what stock they have. I order it from a supplier in bulk, if you can source 3mm MDF, that's about the same density. Normally, the thinner the MDF the higher the density per m3. The reason is due to the pressing in the production process, the two faces have the highest density compared to the core.
Thanks sir for making such kind of video it very useful for us and also use our tool which is good for lead generation may be its useful to you-ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T2gRvYQ9mDw.html
Hi, I am going to make my first cuts on the same material and still learning, do you have more details in your cutting specs? rpm, ipm, speed, and what type of cutter did you use? Thanks
I use Onsrud bits when I cut these parts I used their single flute upcut bit designed for aluminum and if I remember right a .002" chip load @ 14000 RPM.
@@Anchorbuilder How about your bit diameter and depth of each pass? I also see you are using coolant misters, what type of coolant do you recommend? I tried 5052 for the first time recently and the results weren't as I hoped. Thanks.
Possibly the one in the video will work it has slots that line up with a standard rod holder mount. If you can email me some pictures of your rail system and the gunnel area of the boat I could give you a more definitive answer. Mike@MillerMarineProducts.com
Your project wasn't available using the Desktop version of the software, but I was inspired to make one! I think - for a beginner - it turned out well. Very nice project!
My phone ran out of memory. I bought a memory card for the phone but I am done with those parts and the fixture is off the machine. I will try again the next time I make this part. I wanted to delete this video from youtube but I am not sure how to do that.
You can see a ribbon of material in the video showing it made a full cut and the ribbon was left the end radius is less than full width except on the corners.
vry informative video! I need some measurements and I plan on going this route on my boat. I must say thanks to Facebook for getting me over here, I to want to use rivets to mount the rails
I am in the process of buying an IS408 I'm trying to get a definitive answer on the height of the gantry I know the machine comes with an air cylinder to balance the spindle what is the overall height with the air cylinder on it and if you remove the air cylinder which they tell me ships loose what is the height of the gantry what is the highest point of the gantry that will not move up or down without the air cylinder Reason I'm asking I'm trying to get it through my door that is only 84 inches tall If I can simply hook the machine up to power and lower the gantry no big deal but from everything I can get from Shopsabre and the videos I see online I'm not so sure it will be that easy Super thanks for any info!! Nice table
My machine is 93" high at the air balancer. You could probably save an inch mine is mounted atop some metal pads I made and my slab has a slop in it so it is higher on one side. I don't think it would be hard to remove the air cylinder to get it through your door. I would consider a larger table for minimal cost now compared to replacing it later. It is very handy to have extra room for fixtures just a thought. The balancer does not get shorter when the spindle is moved. Mike
i have this anchor locker and i love it, i take my wife and daughter fishing with me so i have to do alot of the "boating stuff" myselfe. thanks for a great product.
