Well it passed the full Test cut.

[m.marino]

Here are pictures of the test cut that I did to really put the CNC router to. Goal was seeing how well it cut and what the result would be from the required ability to:

1. Not lose steps (position loss)
2. Run at speed
3. Finish of work

It passed pretty much cleanly with only a few problems with the Ethernet card and that is being dealt with by Smooth Stepper and I have to say that they give very good support. Due to the few minor issues I was able to truly test the positional memory of the machine as had to restart cuts at a few locations.

The item below was cut under the following conditions:

1. Rapids where at 8000 mm/min Velocity with Acceleration of of 1250 mm/sec^2
2. Cutting was done at 950 mm/min and plunges where done at 850 mm/min
3. Bit was a 60° single spiral flue engraving endmill from Sorotec.de
4. Cut time was 2 hrs and 43 minutes plus time for starts and resets.
5. Material is smokey translucent acrylic that is 10 mm thick
6. Deepest cuts are i believe to be about 5 mm.

So here is the pictures.

Hope you enjoy and I will try to remember to take some video when doing other cuts.
