HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2024
- This a a quick comparison of the Shapeoko HDM performance in roughing aluminum VS a modified Shapeoko 3 with linear rails on the X and an OG HDZ.
Fusion estimated time for the Roughing
S3 - 1:25
HDM - 25 minutes
Both machines running Carbide3D GRBL and Motion sender and running on standard 110v circuits. Fusion 360 CAM
Thanks for sharing this, I’m really looking forward to the full video!
it should be on the NYCCNC channel in a month or two
Excellent stuff again! Thanks for sharing your hard work
I still have the Bantam and I'm still making parts. I really want something with a bit more power and is more stable. My depth of cut and width of cut is what needs improvement... I'm looking at the Tormach 440 right now... Thanks for the video brother!
A 440 will definitely be more stable and you'll be able to put quite a bit of power down. One thing to watch out for is using micro tooling at lower sfm due to BUE. Pathpilot is really nice and feature rich as well. Ive bought a few heavier duty AB nut springs for our Bantam to try to increase the preload for better performance but sadly I'm not allowed to modify it.
@@vinceramirez4463 when the warranty runs out I would like to do the same. It's almost like the spindle doesn't have enough mass on it to handle the material. It has other problems too. It doesn't touch off like it supposed to on conductive probing and I think the bearings is what's wrong with it. I can't get Bantam to tell me one way or another.
Wow, that’s awesome! I wonder how it would sound if you swapped radial and axial depths on the hdm cut, so adaptive clear w/ 0.5” DEPTH of cut and a .04” stepover, same f/s.
Still confused on how best to rough aluminum. I’ve been able to do a .04” deep cut, full width (1/4” end mill) on my import machine but if I try a 1/4” deep cut with only a .02” stepover at half the feed I get some flutter in the unsupported rods.
Did you move away from the Nomad?
