Finally got my A350 and enclosure. Overall I think it will be worth the wait. Yesterday I tackled my first CNC project. I use Fusion 360 and after watching conflicting videos was able to figure out how to load the machine config cps files. Adding the bits were pretty straight forward and easy. A…

I have this exact same problem. I used the CNC module with a bit to manually touch each corner of the aluminum platform with the calibration card and recorded .035" (0.9 mm) slant between corners. Its repeatable. I’ve read the “machine the MDF table parallel with the X-Y axes” comments, but that …

Get a spoil board surfacing bit and it doesn’t take very long. (You’ll need a matching er11 collet for the larger shank.) Much less time than trying to figure out some workaround that still won’t be as accurate. -S

I got my 1" dia surfacing bit and 1/4" ER11 collet. This bit won’t plunge, so I have to enter from the side of the board where it fully exits the piece, which is the left (as looking at the touch screen). It will not fully exit the board from any other side, but I think that’s ok. Pardon my inexp…

What do you mean the bit won’t plunge? What bid did you get? You can just create a black rectangle and do it as a relief in Luban. Or you can use Fusion 360, Easel or Carbide Create to create tool paths. -S

What bit and collet do you recommend?

This is what I got: [image] Whiteside 6210 CNC Spoilboard Surfacing Router Bit, 1/4" Shank - - Amazon.com Whiteside 6210 CNC Spoilboard Surfacing Router Bit, 1/4" Shank - - Amazon.com There may be cheaper ones but I’ve had really good performance…

I acquired bit and collet. Now how to I set up a tool path in Fusion360, and which tool would I use there when I don’t know the manufacturer of my bit. I only know that it is 6 mm shaft and 1 inch diameter.

Use 2D Face for your tool path. Manufacturer doesn’t matter. You can search for a flat end mill or facing mill in the defaults that is the same size (or edit one of the presets). For this the cutting radius is the only thing that matters. I’ve found a .2 step-down at 400mm/m works well. May be a l…

@sdj544 Sorry for bumping this somewhat dated topic. I just wanted to chime in and ask for your experience regarding rotational speed with your 1in router bit? Did you run that thing at 12000 rpm? I’m somewhat concerned about the 8x surface speed that will result by that diameter. While I read some…

I run my 1" spoilboard bit at 12000rpm, 400-800 mm/min (depending on the material), at 0.2-0.3mm steps. I’ve never had issues, and have had good finishes. For the MDF board, I did 800 mm/min at .2mm step down. It worked great. One caveat though, on hard wood I run it only on climb. I’ve found I…

I know your feeling, I had a few failed pcb mill because of this. This topic has been discussed in multiple occasions in the forum, you can find one of my answer below. Disclaimer: i haven’t tried this option yet, but will be my future plan.
