i have finally made a new build for LR, Kampala, Uganda.
Thanks to Ryan and Jeff.
Am gonna start working on wooden patterns, plastics, and 3D
However my question is, if i design a gcode for an art piece that is 4ft x 8ft, which is the size of my table, will the LR allow to engrave the full dimensions or it will go to a maximum of 1000mm
When turning the knob, i realise that x axis can count a maximum of 1000mm, then it counts back to zero.
You are not limited by a thousand millimeters, it will go as big as your table will allow. Even though the knob resets after every 1,000, you can have g code much larger than that no problem.
1-Yaxis wires, the tables side that is hanging down. Typically we have them sort of centered on the table and they just get dragged back and forth half the length. As long as there is nothing to snag on they should not cross up?
2- hmmm. I start all my gcodes with g92 as shown on the milling basics page. That resets the coordinates any time you start your jobs. Youp should be able to select rest all coordinates from your screen though.
3-Correct. What is your desired operation for this?
The straight cut bits don’t evacuate chips very well. It’s not problem if you’re cutting by hand, but machines can’t see the chips.
The v bit is pretty shallow, but it would work. Sharper bits are better in general, because any error in Z ends uo being smaller in XY.
The bull nose is pretty large, so it wouldn’t do much detail in 3D carving. The middle of the bit doesn’t spin as fast, so I am guessing a big bit like that would be trouble for that reason too.
The ogre/roman bits could be used without their bearings to detail an edge, but at that point, you might as well use a hand router.
I rested the machine for 2 weeks as i was away. My x axis is the longer side of the table, or board, call it 8ft of x axis and 4ft of the y axis.
when i returned and switched on the machine, i tried running it around, x, y and z
while z and y work fine, x axis motors just fail to move or rotate, they keep vibrating on the belts.
