Chinese CNC machines - Request

[craigrobbo]

Hey guys

Thanks for your input, I managed to view a machine last night from a very nice forum member.

However with some tweeking we managed to get some reasonbly fast speeds from it.

PLease note, he had no end mills left so we could unfortunatly only use engraving bits, however given the performance i think an end mill would have been better in this scenario.

No in the first portion of the video at 2000mm/m it did break (however i am confident a proper endmill wouldn't have broken)

We dropped the speed down to around 1500mm/m and this munched through quite happily for the next hour or so we played with it.

One last thing to note was lack of clamping, again down to just using all that was avilable at the time so ther eis a bit of flapping going on.

ANy way here is the video.
