6040 CNC - Water Cooling Set Up & Spindle Speed Testing!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- The 1,500 watt water cooled spindle has been set up and is running a combination of windshield washer fluid and distilled water. To test the spindle speed a small digital tachometer was used.
The CNC is ready for some projects!

Thanks for taking a look.
Nice CNC nice shop nice music !! Good job!
Thanks!
Thank you for a clear informative video
personaly i would just super glue one of the rubber feet, and that will still allow you to remove the pump for any maintenance easy,
Also these pumps are not mean't for high volume water, so you can easily use a container half the size or even by 70% less
this will make it more easily to stow away.
Most VFD motors run from -10 to around 40 C and if you are running for a long time and in hot conditions i would consider a water cooler, like the ones you get for a PC. Also antifreeze with summer protection helps reduce heat due to the chemicals.
Alos in the meantime to see how hot the water does get is to buy a cheap water thermaster like this
Aqua One ST-3 LCD Electronic Outside Tank Thermometer for £7.50
to keep one's eye on the heat.
was wondering what cooling liquid I should use. Now I know. Thank you!
Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for your comments.
Thanks, for spindle speed check !!!
I used pink RV antifreeze in mine. Good for potable water systems.
Hi Karl. Yep, a good suggestion, I've seen others do that too and I almost went that way. Thanks for your comments.
I might be too cautious but I would not use the grinding stone as a weight... I just dont think putting carbide grit in the water system going to a spindle is a good idea. I am sure the cooling loop is separate from the bearings but bits of grit in the pump is probably not great. Now its probably fine and wont have any effect.. it seems less than optimal. Nice build video though!
Hi Hal. Thanks for your input. The pump that I'm using came with the CNC and quite honestly is extremely low quality. It seems to be working fine for now but I'm pretty sure I'll replace it with a better pump at some point. I'll keep your comments in mind.
I have the 800w version... Looking forward to see you make.. I might upgrade to the 1.5kw
This is a massive upgrade for me - my old spindle was around 300 watts.
Interesting, I can not get mine to spin manually. Hmmm I think i need to sort the program function out. Any tips welcome
What are the specs on that pump?
Hi im having an issue with my spindle starting. The stop light is lit up red on pc and manual. Can you please help.
How many meters are the water tubes from the spindle to the bucket? I just started to receive the boxes that my machine will come in and not sure if i have to buy the tubes or no.
Greetings from Venezuela. Do you recommend this cnc? . I'm about to buy it, how has it gone with it, something new. any problem, inconvenience? .
Hello! Do you mind doing a set up video for the actual Machine? I would love to connect with you to see how you set it up and configured it with the computer. Do you have some time to connect? Thanks!
Sir which chemical mix with water please guide me 🙏
Hola saludos desde Guatemala puedes dar información sobre cnc o coreo electrónico para mayor información gracias
I have been trying to hook up mine at work. I pugged every thing in. When I inserted the USB connecter the machine didn't recognized it. Can any one help?
Novice question here, does the Mache work on usb systems? (Seen other comments other yt pages)
What projects are you eyeing? It does seem like you got a lot for your $800 investment.
I agree; a good bit of machine for the price. Real ball screws, heavy weight, very minimal flex, strong spindle. As far as projects go I've got more plans and ideas than free time. That's always the challenge. I've made wood gear clocks before but the CNCs I've had were just barely able to make the gears with tight enough tolerances so I'm looking forward to more of those gear trains. Projects with clean inlays, different kinds of joints, RC boats, larger signs, etc.
Hello,
I have the same CNC machine as you. Unfortunately Mach3 does not let install what I got from the seller, because always comes same error "internal error b109-13 cannot decompress setup program."
Maybe you can tell me the settings of Mach3 such as: ports and pins, motor tuning...
Thank you very much
E.T
Try Drufel CNC. Mach 3 is a dead horse.
what size is the water tubeing?
Over, how do you rate the CNCEST machine? Scored, functionality?, Ease of use ? Value for money? Good & bad points? ( Considering this as my upgrade from 3018
It's a huge leap from a 3018 in terms of stability, power, and potential. It's not without its little hiccups in getting set up but a fun machine to use. Lots of help online to get it up and running.
Have got the manufacturer'svsnd supplier's web site as there's as many makers/suppliers/names for these as there are 3018s which all clone the SainSmart/Genmitsu machine.
Hello,I have the same cnc,however mines didn’t come with any paper work,where did you get the information to setup Mach3?
mike, i have the same problem with mine! haven't yet got mach 3 to connect.
How are you going to cool the water? after running for awhile it may heat up and you will need to cool it back down.
I wondered about that too and after some research other folks say that the spindle barely gets warm after a lot of use with just the circulation of fluid. I haven't seen any cooling radiators with these machines so I think we'll be fine.
I have the same machine, but I can’t configure well. Can you help me please ?
Or maybe you know someone who can help me? I'm in Florida
VICTOR DANIEL GIRALDO GONZALEZ did you ever get yours going? I’m having issues out of mine.
What type of water pump do you have there? Mine came with a really loud pump that I'd love to replace.
Hi Tim. Well, the pump I'm using is just the one that came with it. I'll probably get around to replacing it at some point, but for the time being it's pretty quiet and the spindle is staying very cool. The loudest part of the whole set up is the fan in the control box. Best of luck.
@@drez20001 ah ok, mine came with a pump that is external to the water tank and so far I haven't found a pump that is quiet and has enough power to push the water round the small channels in the spindle.
I shall continue my search, I know what you mean about the control box fan but my pump is off the scale ha ha
Why dont you bnegin with an actual diagram of the pump set up what tubes go where? Yet another YT video that doesnt explain from first basics and tikme consuming wading through to find need to know information. Sorry to be so blunt. .
Rolltech Innovation manufactures machine coolant saver. Serious threats to productivity and health are bacteria and fungi which are commonly found in industrial coolants. This coolant bacteria filter has some advantageous features include: last a life time, with guarantee of extended life of coolant with bacteria filter - no consumables, no electricity, no chemical dosing, etc. It is a one time investment, ROI within 4-6 Months, Saves on input of fresh oil and disposal cost like etp treatment, or giving it to authorised recycler. These mineral oil based coolant are prone to generation of bacteria which produces foul odour, often from hydrogen sulfide [rotten egg smell]. Rolltech Innovation "Aqualogic" filter is an innovative and economical method of continuously controlling these micro organisms and the odour they generate. "Aqualogic" bacteria coolant filter consists of series of high-purity multi-metal fibres cased within a stainless steel tube. the dissimilar ions in the multimetal alloy bed undergo a natural electrochemical reaction, also known as an oxidation-reduction reaction.

I have been using the same automotive antifreeze in my TIG torch cooling system for 20 years. Never had a problem.
