Glad you enjoyed it - happy new year!

I recommend bull nose end miles. We use at work half inch with 4 thou radius. That radius makes them last much longer and also we use them for a lot of 3d tool paths and they look nice

Thanks for the comment! I’ve never used a bull mill with a rad that small. The 1/2” endmill used for the flow toolpath here has a 0.030” rad.

lovely machining vid:) I use sony camera, but using M or manual mode with set "shutter speed, aperture and ISO" fixed will keep the video set with fixed setting. keep up the good work. happy new year!

That makes sense. I’m using aperture priority now. Thanks for the tip & happy new year!

Nice work buddy - those things look amazing. Would have liked to see a few more beauty shots of the finished product at the end. Love the detail of the process and settings every step of the way

Thanks buddy! Agree w/ you completely. Should have spent a little more time getting some "glamour shorts" after it was finished. Thanks for the advice & happy new year! All the best to you and the fam. Looking forward to more of your content.

Thanks for sharing. Nice narration.

Which SolidWorks CAM are you using? Standard or professional?

@adamdebowski2037

7 ай бұрын

This is HSMWorks CAM - a plug-in for SolidWorks from Autodesk.

Beautiful work, Adam. On your camera, can you lock your exposure settings rather than having it in auto.

Cheers! Yes - I think you’re right. I’m recording in aperture priority and somebody suggested I need to stay in manual - to lock the exposure and ISO as well. Thanks!

Great to see another vid from you! What you are doing here is impressive, learning how to do this isn't easy. I also use Solidworks with built in CAM. Where/what post processor are you are you using for the acorn control? I'm almost ready to build my machine but I'm on the fence with software. I've been using SW for ~25 years and would like to use the CAM thats built in but need to be able for it to work with what ever controller I pick. Thank you for all of the vids you have posted.

Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you. I'm using the stock/unmodified Centroid post that comes with Fusion360 & HSMWorks & have had absolutely no issues whatsoever. I'm not using solidworks CAM. I'm using HSMWorks, which is a paid (~$70ish USD/month) CAM plugin for solidworks from Autodesk. It's essentially the same under the hood as FusionCAM. I've used FusionCAM in the past & can confirm that both posts (the one in Fusion & the one in HSMWorks) work just fine with the Centroid Acorn. I also know a few people using LinuxCNC & generic posts in Fusion.

i never seen a spindle run at 100,020 rpm, what ver. of soildworks are you using? and the project looks came out great

@adamdebowski2037

You won’t see any spindles in my videos spinning at 120,000 - that’s for sure. This is SW 2021. The machining plugin is HSMWorks.

Love the video. From what I've heard, you should be careful cutting wood on a machine like this. When the tree is growing, it pulls up minerals from the ground that get deposited in the wood. When you cut the wood, the dust can be abrasive and ruin your machine ways. Thought I'd mention it.

That's interesting - I haven't heard that one before. Well - I'll be the one to "torture test" the machine as much as possible & will make sure to share if something comes of it! Thanks for sharing & happy new year!

DUDE I KNOW THE INCIDENT YOURE TALKING ABOUT WITH 120,000. SAW THE DAMAGE ON REDDIT

Absolutely wild, isn’t it? I’d never think that possible. Lot of lucky people in that shop….

I have been watching sooo many you tube videos on CNC and I just can not work out how you make any money I just priced a 1200 x 2400 x3.0 mm sheat of aluminium and the cost is like $321.00 the cost just knee caped any profit I could make.

You've got to price whatever you're making higher! It really is as simple as that, and don't try to compete with the Amazons and Chinas of the world!
