== Instructions ==CNC Router Tutorial (6/1/2025)==You can use other resources to generate g-code. Use LinuxCNC or other simple gcode<br>* 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 spindlePlease 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 G94G0 X0.000 Y0.000 Z6.000S24000 M3 'set speed and turn on spindleG4 P8 'allow 8 seconds to spin upG94G1 Z1.000 F1200 'move to height at 1200 mm/minG1 Y37.271 Z-2.261 F1284 'plunge into workG1 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 Y64.295G1 X65.965G0 Z6.000 'return to clearance heightM5 'turn off spindleM30 'end of the program

Test spin you're very comfortable 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. this machine!<br>
