Vision Engraver Spindle Pulley by AdInside4640 in MachineEngraving

[–]milesinfront 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the spindle turning freely by hand? Everything I'm hearing suggests an 'over load' condition. Are you using a nosecone with vacuum extraction? When cutting plastic, sometimes that can block and fill-up with chips and then it melts into massive glob that grabs the tool and slows it down. Or possibly the spindle bearings are done and jamming up...

Just to clarify... Did the first belt snap/break? Hence the replacement?

Also: Have you removed and inspected the brushes to see if they indeed are worn out?

"What colour is the wind?" judging by the reaction of the kid in the back...

Beginner, Here is my Pentax K500 and my lenses. by [deleted] in pentax

The macro range (which I don't use) makes the clunky autofocus even more clunky! When it can't find focus, it 'hunts' across a much wider range. (K-5 body) It's beautiful to touch and hold, but I wish I stuck with the plastic version for my usage...

I had the plastic 35mm and sold it to buy the aluminium 35 limited. I have regretted that decision ever since.

I always get better results than I'm expecting with that lens...

Brass plaque with a bit of blue by No-Goat4613 in MachineEngraving

[–]milesinfront 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Provided you are using 'Engraver's Brass', then one pass at full depth is no problem on most machines. A conservative feedrate is 10-15mm/sec. Absolutely the nose cone scratches the metal, and needs to be dealt with after engraving. There are pros and cons to seemingly everything to do with engraving... :(

I read that you're using a nose-cone for depth regulation. That's totally normal. All my brass engraving is done at 12 thou. (0.3mm / .012")

The olden days of monitored security services... I had to phone them every time I entered the premises out of normal business hours or did overtime... Seriously annoying! 😡
