CNC Router Tutorial (6/1/2025) | |||
You can use other resources to generate g-code. Use LinuxCNC or other simple gcode | |||
Max F400 in/min for rapid 10,000 mm/min | |||
Max cut around 100 in/min 2500 mm/min | |||
Spindle speed 24000 rpm! | |||
Use gcode M3 for spindle on. Delay for spindle acceleration with | |||
S24000 M3 | |||
G4 P8 ‘ dwell for 8 sec | |||
At the endo of your file, Use gcode | |||
M5 ‘to turn off spindle | |||
Please have someone check your code first until you're very comfortable with this machine! | |||
Note that this file uses metric for X,Y,Z and feedrates (mm/min) | |||
===Code Example=== | |||
G17 G21 G40 G49 G94 | |||
G0 X0.000 Y0.000 Z6.000 | |||
S24000 M3 'set speed and turn on spindle | |||
G4 P8 'allow 8 seconds to spin up | |||
G94 | |||
G1 Z1.000 F1200 'move to height at 1200 mm/min | |||
G1 Y37.271 Z-2.261 F1284 'plunge into work | |||
G1 Y0.000 Z-5.522 | |||
[lots of other G1 commands, or skip "G1" and just give X, Y, Z coordinates since G1 is assumed] | |||
G1 Y64.295 | |||
G1 X65.965 | |||
G0 Z6.000 'return to clearance height | |||
M5 'turn off spindle | |||
M30 'end of the program | |||
=== Machine Tool:=== | |||
Air compressor on | |||
Air valve (red) on | |||
Controller on. - black box silver button | |||
Home? Clear the edges! Ok | |||
Jog with Xbox controller | |||
Green=slow, red= medium Yellow= fast. | |||
Ok to shut ball valve while fixturing | |||
Carpet tape! Weight down workpiece | |||
Warm up procedure: | |||
Air back on | |||
Power for 220 VFD: behind crates | |||
Radiator: beige box on floor, top right rocker. | |||
Spindle will ramp up to 24k. Load & run Warmup.ngc on screen scroll list | |||
Clear the spindle, then hit play. Caution: it’s quiet! 8 minutes, then it stops | |||
*** check on Henry’s touch screen | |||
Check motor housing for shake, heat. Should be cool to touch, else the bearings are first suspect | |||
Wiggle check workpiece. | |||
Remove dust shoe to layout workpiece zero | |||
X0 Y0 | |||
Set the tool in collet | |||
Hold tool, press pedal until completely out, release pedal | |||
Leave pedal tough to accidentally hit | |||
Hold tool collet just under, press pedal tough air clean a few seconds, push tool up and release pedal to catch spindle. Test spin with fingers and pull by hand to ensure seating. | |||
X zero: Machine is actually in metric mode for input values, but displays “inches”. Or “in”. It wakes up in metric mode. So input a 1/4” as 6.35. | |||
Replace dust shoe- magnet catch. Adjust dust feet with wing nuts for brush to contact work surface. | |||
Load your guide by inserting thumb drive in back of controller | |||
Press black folder and find thumb drive, folder and file. Then find file in drop down list | |||
Hook in dust hose | |||
Check everything! | |||
Turn on dust collection, gate open for your hose | |||
Play button becomes the pause button. Hover your finger a while to be ready for any weirdness. | |||
Issue with job: screen pause | |||
Issue with machine: stop on back of controller | |||
See “remaining” indicator for job time. Progress bar is by line# | |||
Scroll display to x,y,x readout. | |||
Hearing protection | |||
At job end, use dust collector to clean area, then turn off. | |||
If you take out your tool, leave a tool in the spindle to keep it clean and spring catch engaged | |||
Home the tool to back left to leave table open | |||
Power off the air ball valve, then the air compressor | |||
Turn off the radiator | |||
Turn off the 220 Volt VFD | |||
Turn off controller | |||
