Introduction
On 16 March 2022 we have picked up a CNC mill and placed it in the dirty room.
It has been given to us on loan by Vasili, another tenant from the building. TODO: figure out who Vasili is.
This machine uses Mach4 to control it.
Specifications
The Machine is built by the German machine factory BZT, who build a variety of CNC milling machines.
The dimensions of the machine itself are 1300 x 1030 x 610 mm, but it is placed in an enclosure which is 1420 x 1100 x 700mm.
[TODO: add more specifications]
Usage
We will require that any person working with this machine has received specific training for this machine. Contact the CNC channel on slack.
If you have recieved training, here is a brief reminder of how to use the machine:
Generate your gcode with a suitable bit of CAM software. Fusion 360 is installed on the CAD computer.
copy your file to the CNC computer.
insert your bit and tighten it well. make sure you use the correct collet.
Make sure the cooling is on and running.
clamp your work piece down. Use a surface under your piece if you plan to cut through.
load your file (file operations, in the right)
Zero X and Y.
reduce your jog speed to ~4%
use the 'spindle CW' button to activate the spindle.
Zero your Z with the spindle running, than raise it and disengage the spindle.
regenerate toolpath
check that your X and Y are within bounds with movement. make sure there are no potential colissions.
if there is doubt, also check Z.
set youe spindle speed
activate the spindle with 'spindle CW'
run 'cycle gcode start'
use a vacuum cleaner as it runs.
If anything goes wrong write in the CNC telegram channel.
Tool guardians
Currently the tool guardians are: Piele and Justa
Since this project has just started and is in progress, anyone who is interested in becoming a tool guardian for this machine is invited to let us know.
