Nice build

Hi guys,

Well ive been busy, making bracket and fitting the dro's to my milling machine and ive finally finished that off over the weekend just gone.
But more importantly i did my first ever CNC job on my router tonight and it worked well. Its only a basic part but im really pleased it went ok. Its the back panel for a PFSense router im building which was inspired by Washout's build.






I used Estlcam to generate the GCode, and it was cut with a 2mm 2 flute carbide end mil and the outer edge was cut with a 4mm 2 flute carbide end mill. Unfortunately ive not fitted my mist coolent system yet so i was using wd40 and a brush (bad i know) but that will be the next job. Im very sure my feeds and speeds where a bit rubbish but i was trying to take it steady on my first job (also i wanted to be careful with he 2mm cutter so i did not break it). The 2mm was run at 16000rpm and 180 feed (im guessing these are all wrong but it sounded ok).

Im still unsure by setting up this screen in Mach4. Its the "Volatility Units/Minute" and "Acceleration Units(Sec^2)" im not sure what to set, can anyone help?

Thanks
