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:
- Not lose steps (position loss)
- Run at speed
- 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:
- Rapids where at 8000 mm/min Velocity with Acceleration of of 1250 mm/sec^2
- Cutting was done at 950 mm/min and plunges where done at 850 mm/min
- Bit was a 60° single spiral flue engraving endmill from Sorotec.de
- Cut time was 2 hrs and 43 minutes plus time for starts and resets.
- Material is smokey translucent acrylic that is 10 mm thick
- 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.
Michael.
