MK1 Steel router build log 1500x800x200

[driftspin]

Ok more good stuff today.

I got myself started on cad with fusion360.
I will run into walls later i am sure.

But for now i managed to produce Gcode with it and made my first air cut.

So i am really in good spirits now :-)

I do realize now i need a probe sooner or later. For finding the workpiece position without to many f ups.
So i need to wire in my 2nd 5 axis bob.

I used up all inputs. e-stop home switches on x y z and a axis

I do have the B and C axis step en dir output spare on the 1st bob.
Can one use them for any misc purpose?

Maybe i need to get me some 5v coil relais boards soon


Also i need to start work on the bed surface.
Mounting points for a vice and clamps.

And maybe start with pouring epoxy for some basic cuttable surface to level the surface on the crossmebers.


Question.

Did you guys put your cutters all in the F360 library?

And does F360 do a good job on estimating feed speed doc and step over?

Somehow i feel a cutter library and a standard probe surface, is pointing in the direction of workpiece holding at known stationairy coordinates...

Can anyone please point me in the direction of best practice?

Probe the actual workpiece everytime or make solid default coordinate workpiece holding pins and vices relative to a stationairy bed probing surface.

Because i have no experience, education or well founded opinions on these things yet, i might just as well ask you all right :-) ?


Grtz Bert.
