People go crazy for iPhones and the latest gadgets, but all I want is a #MakeraCarvera machine. I'm tired of manually changing bits, and my #Genmitsu3040Pro is just way too big for what it offers. Time to level up! 😅 #CNC #Makers #TechGear #DIY #CNCmachines #tinker #maker #hacker

Laser offset on #laser and #cncmachines can be helpful for very quick alignments. It's pretty easy to do. Find yourself a crosshair laser and attach it with battery or inline. Burn/Carve a reference point (X), measure the offset of the laser to the center of your reference. Use G91 switches to incremental mode so you only have to enter the difference, G90 switches it back at the end. If you get the values pos/neg mixed up just flip them and you should be good to go.

The attack that killed a 1/5 of her village and changed her life forever was the result of an Iskander-M missile, a weapon which requires a CNC machine in order to be made. They are made by the Kolomna, Russia-based Machine Building Design Bureau, which uses Western #cncmachines

Bit: 60° vee
X/Y speed: 300mm/min
Plunge speed: 286 mm/min (vertical ramp)
Depth per pass: 0.5mm
No roughing pass

These are quite conservative settings, especially on the plunge. Got some downcut bits on order to see if they enable a cleaner roughing pass. #CNC #CNCMachines #NotCNCTheKink

Made a cool part today. My 1" facemill is dull, so I replaced it with a new one. Made for a nice surface finish :) #machining #machinists #cncmachines
