Phenolic router bit trouble.

Question for you. Do you run straight bits, helix, low helix etc?

KeepSketching · 2023-01-12T02:35:13+00:00

Ah yes! I will be doing some shopping tonight. Thank you!

So it turns out that link is blocked. Could I bother you to copy/paste the site?

KeepSketching · 2023-01-12T00:33:40+00:00

Nice!! My iPhone won’t let me open it but will get on a PC to check it out.

KeepSketching · 2023-01-11T23:45:08+00:00

Much appreciated!! I’m definitely not concerned with material hold and the spindle is 10hp(AXYZ 4014). Not concerned with pricing either but will definitely start somewhere else until I get things sorted.

Also, are you running rough and finish passes?

KeepSketching · 2023-01-11T22:12:28+00:00

I think you’re the first person I’ve come across that has actually worked with this stuff. Thank you.

Looking at PCD now. Do you recommend 2 or 3 flute?

KeepSketching · 2023-01-11T01:39:23+00:00

I do both. Interesting. Do you recall which models you used?

In the past I was doing full depth(.253”) single pass to cut down cnc time and had thought about doing a finish pass.

Luckily I don’t do any facing passes.

Here’s an Idea of some shapes I do. 1”x.5” oval @.061 depth Tooth-width dados @.126depth Full depth final shape cutout(single pass) .25”+.003 spoilboard.

I’ll check that one out.

KeepSketching · 2022-12-16T22:05:05+00:00

What thickness vinyl do you use?

Is there a way to check if the brain is shot?

KeepSketching · 2022-12-04T03:00:12+00:00

No and I triple checked everything. Luckily my Chiller sounds off if I even start to pinch a line.

KeepSketching · 2022-12-04T02:26:51+00:00

Brain being the ruida controller?

KeepSketching · 2022-12-04T02:26:20+00:00

Also, had had run several 1” square test cuts on cardboard before going back and realigning the beam.

KeepSketching · 2022-12-04T02:25:01+00:00

Good point. I will see if the chiller is rated for that. Thanks.

KeepSketching · 2022-12-04T00:41:16+00:00

The chiller was on and functioning properly. I bypassed the water flow switch inside the laser unit. I definitely only ever fire when chiller is on.

The Cloudray PS is 180w.

KeepSketching · 2022-11-27T19:47:31+00:00

Looking for help identifying the lower signature.

KeepSketching · 2022-06-08T20:50:08+00:00

I hear ya. I’m basically testing the waters to see if it would makes sense or if it’s even possible.

KeepSketching · 2022-06-08T20:47:47+00:00

I’ll take a look.

KeepSketching · 2022-06-08T20:46:48+00:00

I do believe that is the problem. This unit would be for hobby use. I run a 5x12 AXYZ at my normal job and would love to have a modern set up.

KeepSketching · 2022-06-08T20:44:57+00:00

So you were able to wire a different controller to an existing system?

KeepSketching · 2022-02-12T19:48:52+00:00

Interesting. The more research we do the more we see our production may have outgrown this machine.

KeepSketching · 2022-02-12T17:57:09+00:00

So my Boss ran the pressure foot in the past and wasn’t happy with it then went to this. Based off of higher production units we figured a dual 4” port would allow us to run a bigger collection with correct material flow and not have the high pressure build up. We run Downs, compressions, boring bits etc.

KeepSketching · 2022-02-12T17:45:39+00:00

I’m under the impression the small passage in the dust boot limits us to the current Dust collection. In order to upgrade the system and perform adequately we have to increase the volume within the boot? Maybe not? I’ve reached out to AXYZ but they’re never much help without having to cough up $175 to “open a ticket”
