someones made it on youtube if you look up mr-1 atc, they had to replace the spindle since the mr-1 doesnt have a atc or air lines.

Very impressive! Great job!

This is a fantastic demonstration, and honestly, I'm sold. I want one the minute I can afford it.

I love this machine I've been watching these videos since you started making them, I've been sold since then. I am definitely buying one when I save up enough. This thing does really good work and I am very intrigued to get my hands on it and start making chips with it. Thank you for putting one of these machines in a price range the average machinist/hobbyist can actually afford and for keeping the quality where it should be.

Looks like the Z axis is very well trammed. Very very nice machine.

Thank you for the fast reply I was sort of thinking along those tooling lines, I have my initial machine built for Tuesday and will adjust up hope fully before shipment thanks Danny.

Impressed with the rigidity compared to most other machines at this size. Would love a walk through video showing the overall construction. Curious as to how beefy the gantry is as well. I believe the choice to go with a gantry style machine and adding the concrete was the perfect decision and it shows. Well Done!

Thank you! The gantry beam alone is welded from 5/16" steel plate machined on all surfaces and weighs 70lbs. We did not skimp on this machine!

nice machine. any plans for an ATC in the future? even the simple kind that you see in PCB mills would be sweet.

I would pay twice as much for a version with ATC. For my business, I need a small height, single phase gantry mill just like this - but for it to be justified, I need to be able to walk away and come back when the part is done. I can't be tending tool changes every few minutes. Even if the ATC used bed mounted collet holders and was limited to 5-8 tools, it would be super useful.

I see blue chips. Very impress with the capability of this small gantry. I would like to get one for home use

Gonna shoot for a CER to get one of these at our site.

I'd like to see a possible 4th axis fixture. Been looking at these MR-1s but I'm holding out for either a 4th axis or even a miniature 3 plus 2 axis fixture.

I pour epoxy tomorrow and cant wait. Is there a good tutorial on cutting those threads?

If bought assembled, do I still need to go through all the concrete works for the bed?

Cycle time! This guy needs Titans of CNC.

I currently own a tormach 1100 series 3. I like the Tormach, but the MR-1 will outperform it in every way except z axis travel. Faster material removal and much larger work envelope. At least AS accurate as the Tormach (+/- 0.001"). I'm assuming this can be a production machine? I'm aware of slower tool changes and that's fine. Just want it to be able to run 8 hours a day if needed. Is this OK? Tormach will be my second spindle machine now. Very impressive engineering guys. Thank you. I'll be ordering soon.

Amazing machine..........please sell it also in Europe!!!!

Amazing... and with no coolant. A full depth pass on the ID from the backside and a chamfer pass would have made it perfect. But that's just programming. the machine seems pretty incredible.

Agreed!

If I had to walk across the country just for a chance at getting one, I’d do it a few times over.

looks useful. do you guys offer financing?

You guys planning to do atc?

Can you use epoxy granite instead of the concrete to help with any resonance vibration chatter? Have you tried titanium yet? I’m sold for what I’ve seen so far. For a entry level mill for the complete set price you have quite a machine for under 6k. If using a 2 piece vise to utilize the table for max z height capability, how much height is available? Awesome machine!

Can it rigid tap?

Very nice job to make a part like that on a CNC router,👍 you adjusted the feeds and speeds cautiously to prevent damaging the part and your machine ✌️👍

I’ll be ordering one once you guys have an upgradable spindle option to iso 30 taper with quick change tool holders and draw bar people will pay for stuff like that also maybe some options such as 12k spindle for machines that’ll be in steel 90% of they’re life but still you guys have done something amazing with this machine don’t let my little suggestions knock it because as it is it’s fucking amazing but if im financing something I want it to have all the bells and whistles

Great Machine!!! From having watched all your videos it seems and correct me where I'm wrong, that it's a 100% imperial machine (i.e. inches) including ALL hardware (nuts, bolts, ball screws, not sure about the linear rails, the dual vices and their spacing, etc.) and it runs on US voltages, which are all fully understandable. No doubt the software is mm capable. I'm just curious as to what a non-American/Canadian buyer (i.e. the rest of the world) buyer would have to cope with if purchasing. I'm very interested. In fact and as you guys already know, this machine is a real break through as there has never been a cnc machine with these cutting capabilities with this price point and it's clearly evident that getting it to that price point was largely driven by the design, i.e. enough strength to do the job without using castings but while still being able to keep vibration/resonance to an acceptable level and that's coming from someone with 32 years of CNC experience.

Is there a peck cycle for drilling or is it just one shot drilling? What kind of tooling fits the spindle? Is it only a collet?

@LangmuirSystems

2 жыл бұрын

This was done in one continuous move. Pecking probably would have been good to break the chips up a little but the drilling operation sounded very healthy otherwise. The spindle is ISO ER20 and only fits collets. You can use any tooling from 1/16" up to 1/2" shank diameter.

With carbide tooling it is perfectly acceptable to cut steel dry as long as you are removing the heat from the part in the form of blue chips like you see in this video. We offer flood coolant which can be used as well.

After the side angle was machined it looks like small cut lines how would you clean those up to look smooth like the center bore is.

For roughing, I would always choose an insert first, rather than a carbide cutter. It's cheaper. With this kind of fixation you have huge problems with vibrations. That can be heard in the video. I see you have another clamp, less vibration if you clamp with two clamps at the same time. The surface quality is poor on the conical part because you do not use a radius cutter. I would like to measure the deviation from the correct circle in the middle when you fix the piece like this.

Only thing that disappoints me in this machine is the z axis leadscrew. Why? Very very impressed otherwise

@LangmuirSystems

2 жыл бұрын

The advantage of an ACME lead screw on Z is that it can't be backdriven when the power is turned off tothe machine (and the Z motor). This means that the Z axis wont drop once the power is turned off. A machine that uses a ballscrew on the Z axis must also have either a brake or a counterbalance weight/spring. A brake adds expense and a counterbalance weight also adds weight and decreases downward thrust (needed for drilling and plunging). ACME is very stiff and accurate. There are two negatives, one is lower speed. The other is that its harder to control backlash with an ACME screw. The substantial mass of the Z axis and spindle assembly helps to preload the z lead nut in the downward direction. This in addition to the backlash compensating design limits the negatives really just to lower jog speed. We used the budget saved by using an ACME screw to improve other areas of the machine. Designing a machine like this is all about tradeoffs.

Tool changing is way to slow though

I've seen the video. For the novice, beginner, I'm sure it will be fine. If you are starting a small garage business and want to get into cnc, the price point is very entertaining. But without a option for quicker tool changes, it will eventually inhibit being able to expand your small business without then purchasing another machine to accomplish speedy tool changes. Do you have any future thoughts on creating some type, of quick change type tooling or some type of tool changer?
