I was able to buy that years ago, here I think it's called solid core. It's like 5/8" solid pine glued together then a thin sheet of ply glued to each side to make it 3/4". It was very stable.

We call it blockboard or shutterboard, some call it shutterply.

Hi Folks - tried the 2.5d stuff and here is what we have

in the images you can see that due ti difference in the height setting of the two tools the part got screwed up - anyways it was my first and a try out -

tomorrow will try again - this time i will let the tool fall to zero - I want to have a auto tool zero setup - and have things wired up too - but I am just not confident on playing with mach.

I have a question though - if power is lost during the the cut - how to get back to the actual point where the cut was happenning?

is it documented anywhere? its time I read the mach manual much thoroughly.

thats it folks

Irfan,
I remember there was a discussion regarding this matter "if power is lost during the cut" but i can't remember where is it now , I think you need proximity switch to do that as per this post "Programmable Relay to Watch Dog the Limit/Home sequence"

Amazing!

Is that a porous MDF or a foam? What is overall size/depth? Did you run mainly x-direction and then step over a small y increment? Etc. Etc.!

234ahmed · #**189** Sun 31 May 2009, 14:49

Awesome work Irfan. masha-allah
Congratulations.

DMS · #**190** Sun 31 May 2009, 17:22

Congratulations Irfan, Nice work.
Thinking of changing router, did you find any noise difference between router and spindle ?

Doug_Ford · #**191** Sun 31 May 2009, 19:38

Beautiful!!!!!!

javeria · #**192** Mon 01 June 2009, 03:23

Thank you all for the nice words!

Sharma - a spindle is a big improvement over a router! the 2+hrs the spindle was running in the shop no one outside knew there was something goin on in the shop. Since I was very tired - I just went to sleep -

during those 2 hrs.

btw- the MM did make a lot of rattling sound - funny that for rapid change of directions it makes sort of funny sounds.

G' that is MDF - the max depth was .47 inch and the cut started out in the center and moved to the periphery - used a 3mm ball nose for the final finish and a 8mm end mill for the rough material removal. the speed was set to 4000mm/min @ 1000 mm/s/s

Irfan,

Very nice job.

How about some more details. What size is the piece? What bits did you use?

I am looking for a lotus flower to cut in 2D. I have tried searching but I can't find anything that I like. Since it is a favorite for your country, do you have any thing that is nice. Side view.

Thanks

javeria · #**194** Mon 01 June 2009, 05:27

The size is 15x15 inch - the bits as mentioned in my previous post - the file was available for free download on the artcam forum.

lotus in 2d? nope -

Gerald D · #**195** Mon 01 June 2009, 05:38

Traceable images of lotus flowers

sailfl · #**196** Mon 01 June 2009, 06:41

Gerald,

Thanks, they will work.

javeria · #**197** Mon 01 June 2009, 06:45

Irfan,

I have a friend that would like me to cut a large relief lotus for the front of their house.

javeria · #**200** Tue 16 June 2009, 11:20

I am not able to figure out what is the problem!

I looked and cleared out all grounding and noise issues, put new grubs on the motor pulleys - had earlier taken care of all the other gearbox grubs - flats - indents on the shafts - interchanged gecko's - interchanged motors

hmm now I think I will recheck all the bolts of the machine

if any of u have any ideas kindly let me know!

Ok - sorry but after a week of searching - I am so so embarrassed to ask - where is the location of the mechmate logo ?

sailfl · #**202** Fri 19 June 2009, 07:08

Irfan,

You are going to be banned for not knowing the location..... only joking...... It is tough some times to find stuff. I know....

In addition, all the .dxf drawings for the laser cutting have the logo in the title block.

javeria · #**204** Sat 27 June 2009, 06:49

Hi Folks - I took another detour - instead of getting the stickers I just machined a sign plate for my machine!

Gerald D · #**205** Sat 27 June 2009, 07:19

Irfan, the father of doing everything the long way round . . . . .

Well Done!

Gerald D · #**206** Sat 27 June 2009, 07:23

Want to tell us why you selected #33 and not the #28 that would have been next?

javeria · #**207** Sat 27 June 2009, 07:29

Actually G' when the Mechmate revolution started - I was there and really wanted to be number 3 - but NOW some how I wanted to at least be near to the number 3 so 3 and 3, yes it does sounds stupid - but I like to have it as 33, and sound good too...

AH thats a long way ans still learning

BTW I destroyed 3 carbide bits today

one was a 3mm single flute with a cut lenth of 30mm and another 2 were 2mm ones - all carbide and that hurts OUCH!

. . . . on #33? That is an omen!

What went wrong with the bits? Feeding too fast?

javeria · #**209** Sat 27 June 2009, 07:45

G' I had that stupid auto estop triggered and then I started the spindle manually with a m03s15000 command. then pressed the green button and that made that thing go in a tizzy and the bit broke - this was the 3mm one -

another 2 mm went down due to wrong depth, and another went down bcos I had not given tabs to one of the internal profile cut and the mdf jumped out and there was a collision between the two.
