We have divided all the tools below into [[Equipment/ToolClasses|Tool Classes]]. Make sure you understand which class a tool is in before you attempt to use it, and read the associated wiki page.<br /> <br /> Consumables for some equipment can be used and paid for using the [[Honesty boxes]].<br /> <br /> [[The right tool for the job]] has some notes on what tools to use for various tasks.<br /> <br /> Smaller equipment is listed on the [[Things and stuff]] page.<br /> <br /> '''Equipment status''' for the larger items is available [[Equipment_Status|here]].<br /> <br /> == The Workshop ==<br /> <br /> * [[Equipment/BandSaw|Band Saw]]<br /> * [[Equipment/AxminsterBeltDiscSander|Belt and Disc Sander]]<br /> * [[Equipment/5704RK|Circular Saw - Makita ]]<br /> * [[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill|CNC Model Mill]]<br /> * [[Equipment/CNC_Router|CNC Router]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Drill_Presses|Drill Presses]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Grinder|Grinder]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Lathe|Lathe - Myford]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Warco lathe|Lathe - Warco]] <br /> * Metalwork Benches<br /> * [[Equipment/WarcoMill|Mill - Warco ]]<br /> * [[Equipment/MitreSawRage3Db|Mitre Saw - Rage 3]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Power_Tools|Power Tools (small)]]<br /> * Woodwork Benches<br /> * [[Equipment/WoodLathe|Woodworking Lathe]] <br /> * [[Equipment/Router|Router and router table]]<br /> <br /> == The Space ==<br /> <br /> * [[Equipment/3D_Printer|3D Printers (FDM)]]<br /> * [[Equipment/3D_Printer_SLA|3D Printer (SLA)]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Electronics_Workbenches|Electronics Workbenches]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Fine_metalwork_bench|Fine Metalwork Bench]] and [[Equipment/Flexible_Shaft_Drill|Flexible Shaft Drill]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Glassworking|Glassworking kiln, torch and associated tools]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Laser_Cutter|Two Laser Cutters]]<br /> * [[Equipment/PCB_Mill|PCB Mill]]<br /> * [http://www.pattesters.co.uk/pat-testers/basic-pat-testers/seaward-primetest-100-pat-tester PrimeTest 100 PAT Tester]<br /> * [[Equipment/VacuumFormer|Vacuum Former]]<br /> * General Tools<br /> ** [http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-cht641-199-piece-diy-tool-kit-with-cant Clarke CHT641 199 Piece DIY Tool Kit With Cantilever Tool Box]<br /> * [[Equipment/Plotter|HP 750C A0 Plotter]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Paper Printers|Paper printers]]<br /> * [[Equipment/CanoScan_LiDE_25|Paper Scanner]]<br /> * [[Equipment/BicycleMaintain|Bicycle Maintenance]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Projector|Projector]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Screenprinting|Screenprinting]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Batteries|Batteries]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Computer_CAD_Workstation|CAD Workstation]]<br /> <br /> == Craft area ==<br /> * [[Equipment/Vinyl_Cutter|Vinyl Cutter]]<br /> * large table for cutting or working at<br /> * [[Equipment/SewingMachine|Sewing Machine]]<br /> * [[Equipment/TShirtPress|TShirt heat press]]<br /> * PC with CAD software, scanner and link to Vinyl cutter<br /> * [[Equipment/Knitting_Machine| Knitting Machine]]<br /> * [[Equipment/EZcube_Light_Tent| EZcube Light Tent]]<br /> * [[Equipment/EggBot|EggBot]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Leather_Kit|Leather Kit]]<br /> <br /> == Classroom ==<br /> * [[Classroom/Projector|Projector]]<br /> * [[Classroom/Seating|Seating]]<br /> == Corridor Cupboards ==<br /> * [[Arduino_and_Cake/Big_Box|Arduino/Raspberry Pi Accessories]]<br /> <br /> == Proposals and Notes ==<br /> <br /> * [[Equipment/CNC_Metal_Mill|CNC Metal Mill]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Hand_Tools|Hand Tools]]<br /> * [[Equipment/PurchasedFromGrant]]<br /> ** [[Equipment/BandSaw]]<br /> * [[Equipment/Stained_Glass|Stained Glass]]<br /> * [[Equipment/3D Scanner|3D Scanner]]<br /> <br /> == Related ==<br /> * [[OwnersPage|List of owners and their duties]]<br /> * Full equipment database [http://makespace-equipment-db.herokuapp.com/ http://makespace-equipment-db.herokuapp.com/].<br /> * [[Infrastructure|Makespace Infrastructure]]<br /> * [[Equipment/ToolClasses|Tool Classes]] - for safety and training requirements.<br /> * [[Equipment/NewKit|New Kit]] - process for adding to our equipment inventory.<br /> * This series of 10 metal working videos of up to an hour each from MIT are well worth watching.

The mill Owners are a group of people responsible for maintaining and training on the mill, and hence have been trained to train, and trained to perform the weekly and monthly maintenance on the mill. <br /> <br /> == Booking ==<br /> <br /> Sessions are advertised on '''http://meetup.makespace.org'''<br /> * For discussing training, or requesting additional slots if needed, use the mailing list thread: [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cammakespace/Nvf0GPRhLAY/fkvHEQ2sDz4J Training : Roland Mill]<br /> <br /> Notes:<br /> * You can only be trained if you have your name allocated to a slot (groups will be restricted to four at a time, so please don't make up additional spaces)<br /> * You must do the group and individual training on the same day<br /> <br /> = Trained Users =<br /> <br /> The following members of Makespace are owners of the mill, so are trained to use and teach use of the Mill:<br /> * Paul Osborn<br /> * Robin Sterling<br /> * Peter Knight<br /> <br /> The following members of Makespace are trained and qualified to use the Mill (note, they are not qualified to train others however):<br /> LIST MOVED TO PRIVATE LOCATION FOR GDPR<br /> <br /> = Training Cheatsheet =<br /> <br /> The training structure and prompt sheet. Please note, this is used by the Mill Owners as a prompt to ensure training is executed in a consistent and complete fashion; this does not constitute and is not a substitute for the training itself. <br /> <br /> == Group Training ==<br /> <br /> The group training introduction structure, suitable for 1-4 members at a time in a 1 hr session.<br /> <br /> '''Mill Basics'''<br /> * Cover the basic mechanics of an 3 axis mill.<br /> * Explain the difference between machine co-ordinates and user co-ordinates<br /> * Cover the different types of cutters, ball, square etc.<br /> * Explain collets and how to change the cutter.<br /> * Cover types of materials than can be cut on the mill, wood, plastics, '''NO METAL'''<br /> * Cover how to fix work piece to bed.<br /> <br /> '''VPanel'''<br /> * Show how to move cutter around in X, Y and Z free hand<br /> * Show how to change the rapid speed, and explain difference between low/high and steps<br /> * Show how to set XYZ origins.<br /> * Show how to set Z origin using sensor.<br /> * Show how to move to set co-ordinates and make relative moves.<br /> * Explain how to switch to G-Code load G-Code files<br /> <br /> '''Click Mill'''<br /> * Explain how to do basic operations such as pocket and surface.<br /> * Cover the basic cutting parameters, such as feed rates, spindle speed, cutting in amount and path interval.<br /> <br /> '''SRP Player'''<br /> * File formats that can be loaded (STL/IGES/Rhino)<br /> * Rotating imported model to correct orientation.<br /> * Scale model if needed.<br /> * Cover type of milling<br /> ** Surface finish<br /> ** Flat / curved<br /> ** What cutting top or top and bottom means<br /> ** Adding supports<br /> * Explain creation of tool paths<br /> * Set the size of the work piece and material<br /> * Create initial tool path<br /> * Show cutting preview and explain how it can show cutting errors by flicking between model and preview.<br /> * Show how to edit cutting paths, change tools and cutting area and depth.<br /> * Show margins and slope and re-generate tool paths.<br /> * Open and show the sample project 'thing.srp' as an example of how tool paths can be tweaked to reduce cutting times and optimize support material.<br /> <br /> '''Cut 2D'''<br /> * Open sample project to show basics of tool paths and 3D preview.<br /> * Refer people to the videos on the Cut2D website.<br /> <br /> '''Q and A'''<br /> <br /> == Individual Training Task ==<br /> <br /> The individual task to get familiar, prompt questions and check understanding:<br /> <br /> * Power machine on<br /> * Change the current tool, demonstrating understand of the collet system and correct positioning of cutter in collet. Ensure that the cutter is not dropped.<br /> * Position the cutter over the XY origin and set as origin in user co-ordinates.<br /> * Set the Z origin using the sensor.<br /> * Using the ClickMill software cut a 20x20mm pocket 5mm deep offset by 5,5mm from the origin.<br /> * Pause the job midway through, then restart it.<br /> * Clean machine. <br /> * Turn off.<br /> <br /> == Project Oversight ==<br /> <br /> For next 2-3 projects or until they are comfortable, projects should be machine out of soft materials only such as foam, that way if a mistake is made no damage will be caused to the machine and an expensive block of material lost. If possible the newly trained user should find another more experienced trained user to support them (second pair of eyes) in their first couple of projects, or any time they are unsure.<br /> <br /> '''If in doubt ask for advice!!'''</div>

training structure and prompt sheet. Please note, this is used by the Mill Owners as a prompt to ensure training is executed in a consistent and complete fashion; this does not constitute and is not a substitute for the training itself. <br /> <br /> == Group Training ==<br /> <br /> The group training introduction structure, suitable for 1-4 members at a time in a 1 hr session.<br /> <br /> '''Mill Basics'''<br /> * Cover the basic mechanics of an 3 axis mill.<br /> * Explain the difference between machine co-ordinates and user co-ordinates<br /> * Cover the different types of cutters, ball, square etc.<br /> * Explain collets and how to change the cutter.<br /> * Cover types of materials than can be cut on the mill, wood, plastics, '''NO METAL'''<br /> * Cover how to fix work piece to bed.<br /> <br /> '''VPanel'''<br /> * Show how to move cutter around in X, Y and Z free hand<br /> * Show how to change the rapid speed, and explain difference between low/high and steps<br /> * Show how to set XYZ origins.<br /> * Show how to set Z origin using sensor.<br /> * Show how to move to set co-ordinates and make relative moves.<br /> * Explain how to switch to G-Code load G-Code files<br /> <br /> '''Click Mill'''<br /> * Explain how to do basic operations such as pocket and surface.<br /> * Cover the basic cutting parameters, such as feed rates, spindle speed, cutting in amount and path interval.<br /> <br /> '''SRP Player'''<br /> * File formats that can be loaded (STL/IGES/Rhino)<br /> * Rotating imported model to correct orientation.<br /> * Scale model if needed.<br /> * Cover type of milling<br /> ** Surface finish<br /> ** Flat / curved<br /> ** What cutting top or top and bottom means<br /> ** Adding supports<br /> * Explain creation of tool paths<br /> * Set the size of the work piece and material<br /> * Create initial tool path<br /> * Show cutting preview and explain how it can show cutting errors by flicking between model and preview.<br /> * Show how to edit cutting paths, change tools and cutting area and depth.<br /> * Show margins and slope and re-generate tool paths.<br /> * Open and show the sample project 'thing.srp' as an example of how tool paths can be tweaked to reduce cutting times and optimize support material.<br /> <br /> '''Cut 2D'''<br /> * Open sample project to show basics of tool paths and 3D preview.<br /> * Refer people to the videos on the Cut2D website.<br /> <br /> '''Q and A'''<br /> <br /> == Individual Training Task ==<br /> <br /> The individual task to get familiar, prompt questions and check understanding:<br /> <br /> * Power machine on<br /> * Change the current tool, demonstrating understand of the collet system and correct positioning of cutter in collet. Ensure that the cutter is not dropped.<br /> * Position the cutter over the XY origin and set as origin in user co-ordinates.<br /> * Set the Z origin using the sensor.<br /> * Using the ClickMill software cut a 20x20mm pocket 5mm deep offset by 5,5mm from the origin.<br /> * Pause the job midway through, then restart it.<br /> * Clean machine. <br /> * Turn off.<br /> <br /> == Project Oversight ==<br /> <br /> For next 2-3 projects or until they are comfortable, projects should be machine out of soft materials only such as foam, that way if a mistake is made no damage will be caused to the machine and an expensive block of material lost. If possible the newly trained user should find another more experienced trained user to support them (second pair of eyes) in their first couple of projects, or any time they are unsure.<br /> <br /> '''If in doubt ask for advice!!'''</div>

The mill Owners are a group of people responsible for maintaining and training on the mill, and hence have been trained to train, and trained to perform the weekly and monthly maintenance on the mill. <br /> <br /> == Booking ==<br /> <br /> Sessions are advertised on '''http://meetup.makespace.org'''<br /> * For discussing training, or requesting additional slots if needed, use the mailing list thread: [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cammakespace/Nvf0GPRhLAY/fkvHEQ2sDz4J Training : Roland Mill]<br /> <br /> Notes:<br /> * You can only be trained if you have your name allocated to a slot (groups will be restricted to four at a time, so please don't make up additional spaces)<br /> * You must do the group and individual training on the same day<br /> <br /> = Trained Users =<br /> <br /> The following members of Makespace are owners of the mill, so are trained to use and teach use of the Mill:<br /> * Paul Osborn<br /> * Robin Sterling<br /> <br /> The following members of Makespace are trained and qualified to use the Mill (note, they are not qualified to train others however):<br /> * Alexis Mather (Stephen Woolhead, 4/04/2013)<br /> * Rachel Rayns (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Henry Gomersall (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Andrew Dunn (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Edward Imhagwe (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Kim Spence-Jones (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Chris Voth (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013)<br /> * Chris Abri (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013) <br /> * Joe Tapply (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013)<br /> * Dave Ansell (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Gaye Soykok (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Martin de Selincourt (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Andy Fisher (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Mark Tillotson (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Tom Ingham(Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * David Esteves (Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * Wayne Keenan (Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * David Bebb (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Patrick Greaney (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Paul Osborn (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Adrian Carr (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * ST John (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013)<br /> * Anne Harrison (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * Maciek Piatek (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * Tim Thornton (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * J.

Please note, this is used by the Mill Owners as a prompt to ensure training is executed in a consistent and complete fashion; this does not constitute and is not a substitute for the training itself. <br /> <br /> == Group Training ==<br /> <br /> The group training introduction structure, suitable for 1-4 members at a time in a 1 hr session.<br /> <br /> '''Mill Basics'''<br /> * Cover the basic mechanics of an 3 axis mill.<br /> * Explain the difference between machine co-ordinates and user co-ordinates<br /> * Cover the different types of cutters, ball, square etc.<br /> * Explain collets and how to change the cutter.<br /> * Cover types of materials than can be cut on the mill, wood, plastics, '''NO METAL'''<br /> * Cover how to fix work piece to bed.<br /> <br /> '''VPanel'''<br /> * Show how to move cutter around in X, Y and Z free hand<br /> * Show how to change the rapid speed, and explain difference between low/high and steps<br /> * Show how to set XYZ origins.<br /> * Show how to set Z origin using sensor.<br /> * Show how to move to set co-ordinates and make relative moves.<br /> * Explain how to switch to G-Code load G-Code files<br /> <br /> '''Click Mill'''<br /> * Explain how to do basic operations such as pocket and surface.<br /> * Cover the basic cutting parameters, such as feed rates, spindle speed, cutting in amount and path interval.<br /> <br /> '''SRP Player'''<br /> * File formats that can be loaded (STL/IGES/Rhino)<br /> * Rotating imported model to correct orientation.<br /> * Scale model if needed.<br /> * Cover type of milling<br /> ** Surface finish<br /> ** Flat / curved<br /> ** What cutting top or top and bottom means<br /> ** Adding supports<br /> * Explain creation of tool paths<br /> * Set the size of the work piece and material<br /> * Create initial tool path<br /> * Show cutting preview and explain how it can show cutting errors by flicking between model and preview.<br /> * Show how to edit cutting paths, change tools and cutting area and depth.<br /> * Show margins and slope and re-generate tool paths.<br /> * Open and show the sample project 'thing.srp' as an example of how tool paths can be tweaked to reduce cutting times and optimize support material.<br /> <br /> '''Cut 2D'''<br /> * Open sample project to show basics of tool paths and 3D preview.<br /> * Refer people to the videos on the Cut2D website.<br /> <br /> '''Q and A'''<br /> <br /> == Individual Training Task ==<br /> <br /> The individual task to get familiar, prompt questions and check understanding:<br /> <br /> * Power machine on<br /> * Change the current tool, demonstrating understand of the collet system and correct positioning of cutter in collet. Ensure that the cutter is not dropped.<br /> * Position the cutter over the XY origin and set as origin in user co-ordinates.<br /> * Set the Z origin using the sensor.<br /> * Using the ClickMill software cut a 20x20mm pocket 5mm deep offset by 5,5mm from the origin.<br /> * Pause the job midway through, then restart it.<br /> * Clean machine. <br /> * Turn off.<br /> <br /> == Project Oversight ==<br /> <br /> For next 2-3 projects or until they are comfortable, projects should be machine out of soft materials only such as foam, that way if a mistake is made no damage will be caused to the machine and an expensive block of material lost. If possible the newly trained user should find another more experienced trained user to support them (second pair of eyes) in their first couple of projects, or any time they are unsure.<br /> <br /> '''If in doubt ask for advice!!'''</div>

The mill Owners are a group of people responsible for maintaining and training on the mill, and hence have been trained to train, and trained to perform the weekly and monthly maintenance on the mill. <br /> <br /> == Booking ==<br /> <br /> Sessions are advertised on '''http://meetup.makespace.org'''<br /> * For discussing training, or requesting additional slots if needed, use the mailing list thread: [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cammakespace/Nvf0GPRhLAY/fkvHEQ2sDz4J Training : Roland Mill]<br /> <br /> Notes:<br /> * You can only be trained if you have your name allocated to a slot (groups will be restricted to four at a time, so please don't make up additional spaces)<br /> * You must do the group and individual training on the same day<br /> <br /> = Trained Users =<br /> <br /> The following members of Makespace are owners of the mill, so are trained to use and teach use of the Mill:<br /> * Paul Osborn<br /> * Robin Sterling<br /> <br /> The following members of Makespace are trained and qualified to use the Mill (note, they are not qualified to train others however):<br /> * Alexis Mather (Stephen Woolhead, 4/04/2013)<br /> * Rachel Rayns (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Henry Gomersall (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Andrew Dunn (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Edward Imhagwe (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Kim Spence-Jones (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Chris Voth (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013)<br /> * Chris Abri (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013) <br /> * Joe Tapply (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013)<br /> * Dave Ansell (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Gaye Soykok (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Martin de Selincourt (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Andy Fisher (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Mark Tillotson (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Tom Ingham(Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * David Esteves (Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * Wayne Keenan (Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * David Bebb (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Patrick Greaney (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Paul Osborn (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Adrian Carr (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * ST John (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013)<br /> * Anne Harrison (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * Maciek Piatek (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * Tim Thornton (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * J.

The mill Owners are a group of people responsible for maintaining and training on the mill, and hence have been trained to train, and trained to perform the weekly and monthly maintenance on the mill. <br /> <br /> == Booking ==<br /> <br /> Sessions are advertised on '''http://meetup.makespace.org'''<br /> * For discussing training, or requesting additional slots if needed, use the mailing list thread: [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cammakespace/Nvf0GPRhLAY/fkvHEQ2sDz4J Training : Roland Mill]<br /> <br /> Notes:<br /> * You can only be trained if you have your name allocated to a slot (groups will be restricted to four at a time, so please don't make up additional spaces)<br /> * You must do the group and individual training on the same day<br /> <br /> = Trained Users =<br /> <br /> The following members of Makespace are owners of the mill, so are trained to use and teach use of the Mill:<br /> * Paul Osborn<br /> * Robin Sterling<br /> <br /> The following members of Makespace are trained and qualified to use the Mill (note, they are not qualified to train others however):<br /> * Alexis Mather (Stephen Woolhead, 4/04/2013)<br /> * Rachel Rayns (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Henry Gomersall (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Andrew Dunn (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Edward Imhagwe (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Kim Spence-Jones (Stephen Woolhead, 10/04/2013)<br /> * Chris Voth (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013)<br /> * Chris Abri (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013) <br /> * Joe Tapply (Stephen Woolhead, 11/04/2013)<br /> * Dave Ansell (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Gaye Soykok (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Martin de Selincourt (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Andy Fisher (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Mark Tillotson (Stephen Woolhead, 16/04/2013)<br /> * Tom Ingham(Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * David Esteves (Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * Wayne Keenan (Stephen Woolhead, 17/04/2013)<br /> * David Bebb (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Patrick Greaney (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Paul Osborn (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * Adrian Carr (Stephen Woolhead 9/5/2013)<br /> * ST John (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013)<br /> * Anne Harrison (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * Maciek Piatek (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * Tim Thornton (Stephen Woolhead 14/5/2013) <br /> * J.

<p>Posborn: /* Owners */</p> <hr /> <div><br /> [[Equipment]] / Vinyl Cutter<br /> <br /> = Silver Bullet = <br /> <br /> Please note that the CraftRobo vinyl cutter has been replaced by the new Silver Bullet. For information on the old cutter, please look here: [[Equipment/Vinyl Cutter CraftRobo | CraftRobo]]. The CraftRobo has been stored in the trove in a plastic box along with all its accessories. It is fully working and available for anyone to use.<br /> <br /> = Summary =<br /> <br /> The new Silver Bullet cutter is available for use by any member of makespace (with or without training). It has an orange sticker.<br /> <br /> Training sessions for using the Silver Bullet will be advertised on the makespace website and on the forum.<br /> <br /> = Using the Vinyl Cutter =<br /> <br /> == Owners ==<br /> <br /> The Owners are those nominally in charge of the equipment, organising its maintenance, helping others to use it, and generally being a point of contact. <br /> <br /> The current Owners of the Vinyl Cutter are:<br /> <br /> * [[User:Posborn|Paul Osborn]]<br /> * Matthew Taylor<br /> * [[User:Ennui2342|Mark Cheverton]]<br /> * Katy Marshal<br /> * Jo Brooks<br /> <br /> If you have any questions, problems or concerns around the vinyl cutter, or would like a personal introduction to how it all works, these are the people to contact.<br /> <br /> == Training ==<br /> <br /> The fact sheet for the Vinyl Cutter can be found here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g7rOkZpxuMIlOiEFUPQQPjfsxwgaFrPb8GivrykSu4k/edit?usp=sharing Fact Sheet]<br /> <br /> == Health and Safety ==<br /> <br /> The vinyl cutter is a potentially dangerous piece of equipment which must be operated with due care. The top things to always remember when using the vinyl cutter are:<br /> <br /> * '''ONLY USE THE VINYL CUTTER IF YOU HAVE READ THE SAFETY NOTES BELOW'''<br /> * '''NEVER LEAVE THE VINYL CUTTER RUNNING UNATTENDED'''<br /> * '''ONLY CUT APPROPRIATE MATERIAL'''<br /> <br /> The risk assessment is located here: [[Formal Risk Assessment: Vinyl Cutter]]<br /> <br /> == Safety Notes ==<br /> <br /> * '''SHARP BLADE''' - when handling the blade (eg. to adjust or change caps for different thickness) take care not to cut yourself<br /> <br /> * '''TRAPPING''' - The head and roller of the machine are moved by programs in the machine's memory. Be careful when near the machine, it will possibly move even if the PC is off. Always keep the cover closed when cutting<br /> <br /> == Instructions ==<br /> <br /> We stock Heat Vinyl on the left (for TShirts) and Sticky Backed Vinyl on the right (for Signs).<br /> <br /> Heat Vinyl is cut upside down and mirrored.<br /> Sticky Vinyl is cut right way up and right way round.<br /> <br /> Draft instructions for use assuming Sticky Vinyl. If using Heat Vinyl, see [[Equipment/TShirtPress]] for alternative instructions as it's substantially different and must be mirrored.<br /> <br /> '''Read all instructions and warnings before you start'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Overall idea:<br /> *Create in Inkscape (see notes below about scaling if you use Illustrator!)<br /> *Load into SureCutsALot<br /> *Cut on the Silver Bullet<br /> *Press on the heat press or stick to something.<br /> <br /> Detail:<br /> *Create your vinyl masterpiece in Inkscape<br /> **Convert all your objects to path<br /> **Check with view outlines it's what you want (line thickness is ignored remember)<br /> **View -&gt; Display Mode -&gt; Outline<br /> **Save as SVG<br /> *Import into Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) on the vinyl cutter PC<br /> **Check scale (you'll need to make things 25% larger if using Illustrator. Please don't change SCAL import settings)<br /> **Do not mirror for sticky vinyl.<br /> **View as outline to check (sometimes this will show things that it otherwise hides)<br /> **Check tool offset is 0.25mm (Cutter -&gt; Cutter Settings)<br /> **Check mat orientation in SCAL (portrait/landscape)<br /> *Set up Silver Bullet<br /> **Check correct tip installed (usually 45 degree standard cutter, &quot;Click blade holder&quot;, the red one)<br /> **Insert sticky vinyl (if using Heat Vinyl, see [[Equipment/TShirtPress]] for alternative instructions)<br /> **Please put money for the vinyl in the honesty box straight away<br /> **Load up Silver Bullet with Sticky Backed Vinyl. Use the Silver Bullet Cutting Sheet to make life easy, you can get away without it for stiffer materials if leave 5cm at the top and 1cm at the bottom. Portrait or Landscape to match Cutting Sheet settings in SCAL.<br /> **Check cut depth on red Click Blade Holder (4 for vinyl?)<br /> **Offline mode, set to bottom right and ZERO it (offline mode, cross hair button).<br /> ***After Zeroing, press Test to do a test rectangle. Check it cuts the vinyl but not the backing.<br /> **Move cutting head to bottom right of sheet (material at back of printer) and zero it (offline, cross hair)<br /> **Double check you zero'd it and press Online on the Silver Bullet.<br /> **In SCAL:<br /> ***Delete any colours you're not cutting (undo with ctrl-Z later, but don't under your mirroring!)<br /> ***Menu: Cutter -&gt; Cut With Silver Bullet.<br /> ***Select Use Software Speed and Pressure. For Vinyl set to Speed = 200 and f=50. (could go faster? needs checking)<br /> ***Select &quot;Origin Point&quot;. Bottom right of piece to match location in SCAL.<br /> ***Check Silver Bullet is Online.<br /> ***&quot;Cut&quot; to start<br /> ***Will start immediately. If there is a delay, you probably forgot Online mode and you should wait for it to download before pressing Online (probably - needs checking)<br /> <br /> Pay for your vinyl<br /> *Stick Transfer Tape to front of vinyl<br /> *Weed from the back<br /> *Stick to final location and carefully remove transfer tape<br /> <br /> == Problems ==<br /> <br /> Software not connecting to cutter: &quot;The problem was that the baud rate in the menu on the Silver Bullet was set to 9600, while the software was set to 38400. These need to match, even for USB serial, so I've reset the SB back to 38400.&quot;<br /> <br /> = Official Documentation and Further Information =<br /> <br /> * Silver Bullet Manual: [http://learn.silverbulletcutters.com/silver-bullet-manual/ Silver Bullet manual download (actual file removed for the moment)]<br /> * Silver Bullet SCAL Software Manual (PC) (actual file removed for the moment due to copyright claim): [[Media:Silver Bullet and Scal Manual pc.pdf]]<br /> * Silver Bullet SCAL Software Manual (Mac) (actual file removed due to copyright claim): [[Media:Silver Bullet and Scal Manual mac.pdf]]<br /> * Silver Bullet Accessories: [[Media:Silver Bullet Accessories.pdf]]<br /> * Free files (boxes, frames, game pieces) that might be useful: [http://app.box.com/s/ht00330cgyao0lxk160i Free Files]<br /> * Intro to materials that can be printed and cut [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PijbpEQHppw Video Intro]<br /> * [http://silverbulletcutters.com/gallery/gallery/ Material cutting gallery] <br /> * [http://silverbulletcutters.com/gallery/video-collection/ Silver Bullet video collection]<br /> * [https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=599a4ab7197c18bb&amp;id=599A4AB7197C18BB!298926&amp;ithint=folder,&amp;authkey=!ABIkWjwBXSzRTfo Online tutorials]<br /> * [http://forum.silverbulletcutters.com Silver Bullet Cutters' Forum]<br /> * [http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/cameomattsignvinylrolls.asp MDP Supplies - Where Makespace gets the vinyl stock]<br /> You can make up your own personal guides to materials that you use and the settings used on those materials by printing out guide sheets from the PC connected to the Silver Bullet (the guide sheets are on the desktop).

=<br /> <br /> The training structure and prompt sheet. Please note, this is used by the Mill Owners as a prompt to ensure training is executed in a consistent and complete fashion; this does not constitute and is not a substitute for the training itself. <br /> <br /> == Group Training ==<br /> <br /> The group training introduction structure, suitable for 1-4 members at a time in a 1 hr session.<br /> <br /> '''Mill Basics'''<br /> * Cover the basic mechanics of an 3 axis mill.<br /> * Explain the difference between machine co-ordinates and user co-ordinates<br /> * Cover the different types of cutters, ball, square etc.<br /> * Explain collets and how to change the cutter.<br /> * Cover types of materials than can be cut on the mill, wood, plastics, '''NO METAL'''<br /> * Cover how to fix work piece to bed.<br /> <br /> '''VPanel'''<br /> * Show how to move cutter around in X, Y and Z free hand<br /> * Show how to change the rapid speed, and explain difference between low/high and steps<br /> * Show how to set XYZ origins.<br /> * Show how to set Z origin using sensor.<br /> * Show how to move to set co-ordinates and make relative moves.<br /> * Explain how to switch to G-Code load G-Code files<br /> <br /> '''Click Mill'''<br /> * Explain how to do basic operations such as pocket and surface.<br /> * Cover the basic cutting parameters, such as feed rates, spindle speed, cutting in amount and path interval.<br /> <br /> '''SRP Player'''<br /> * File formats that can be loaded (STL/IGES/Rhino)<br /> * Rotating imported model to correct orientation.<br /> * Scale model if needed.<br /> * Cover type of milling<br /> ** Surface finish<br /> ** Flat / curved<br /> ** What cutting top or top and bottom means<br /> ** Adding supports<br /> * Explain creation of tool paths<br /> * Set the size of the work piece and material<br /> * Create initial tool path<br /> * Show cutting preview and explain how it can show cutting errors by flicking between model and preview.<br /> * Show how to edit cutting paths, change tools and cutting area and depth.<br /> * Show margins and slope and re-generate tool paths.<br /> * Open and show the sample project 'thing.srp' as an example of how tool paths can be tweaked to reduce cutting times and optimize support material.<br /> <br /> '''Cut 2D'''<br /> * Open sample project to show basics of tool paths and 3D preview.<br /> * Refer people to the videos on the Cut2D website.<br /> <br /> '''Q and A'''<br /> <br /> == Individual Training Task ==<br /> <br /> The individual task to get familiar, prompt questions and check understanding:<br /> <br /> * Power machine on<br /> * Change the current tool, demonstrating understand of the collet system and correct positioning of cutter in collet. Ensure that the cutter is not dropped.<br /> * Position the cutter over the XY origin and set as origin in user co-ordinates.<br /> * Set the Z origin using the sensor.<br /> * Using the ClickMill software cut a 20x20mm pocket 5mm deep offset by 5,5mm from the origin.<br /> * Pause the job midway through, then restart it.<br /> * Clean machine. <br /> * Turn off.<br /> <br /> == Project Oversight ==<br /> <br /> For next 2-3 projects or until they are comfortable, projects should be machine out of soft materials only such as foam, that way if a mistake is made no damage will be caused to the machine and an expensive block of material lost. If possible the newly trained user should find another more experienced trained user to support them (second pair of eyes) in their first couple of projects, or any time they are unsure.<br /> <br /> '''If in doubt ask for advice!!'''</div>

<p>Posborn: /* Official Documentation and Further Information */</p> <hr /> <div><br /> [[Equipment]] / Vinyl Cutter<br /> <br /> = Silver Bullet = <br /> <br /> Please note that the CraftRobo vinyl cutter has been replaced by the new Silver Bullet. For information on the old cutter, please look here: [[Equipment/Vinyl Cutter CraftRobo | CraftRobo]]. The CraftRobo has been stored in the trove in a plastic box along with all its accessories. It is fully working and available for anyone to use.<br /> <br /> = Summary =<br /> <br /> The new Silver Bullet cutter is available for use by any member of makespace (with or without training). It has an orange sticker.<br /> <br /> Training sessions for using the Silver Bullet will be advertised on the makespace website and on the forum.<br /> <br /> = Using the Vinyl Cutter =<br /> <br /> == Owners ==<br /> <br /> The Owners are those nominally in charge of the equipment, organising its maintenance, helping others to use it, and generally being a point of contact. <br /> <br /> The current Owners of the Vinyl Cutter are:<br /> <br /> * [[User:Posborn|Paul Osborn]]<br /> * Matthew Taylor<br /> * [[User:Ennui2342|Mark Cheverton]]<br /> <br /> If you have any questions, problems or concerns around the vinyl cutter, or would like a personal introduction to how it all works, these are the people to contact.<br /> <br /> == Training ==<br /> <br /> The fact sheet for the Vinyl Cutter can be found here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g7rOkZpxuMIlOiEFUPQQPjfsxwgaFrPb8GivrykSu4k/edit?usp=sharing Fact Sheet]<br /> <br /> == Health and Safety ==<br /> <br /> The vinyl cutter is a potentially dangerous piece of equipment which must be operated with due care. The top things to always remember when using the vinyl cutter are:<br /> <br /> * '''ONLY USE THE VINYL CUTTER IF YOU HAVE READ THE SAFETY NOTES BELOW'''<br /> * '''NEVER LEAVE THE VINYL CUTTER RUNNING UNATTENDED'''<br /> * '''ONLY CUT APPROPRIATE MATERIAL'''<br /> <br /> The risk assessment is located here: [[Formal Risk Assessment: Vinyl Cutter]]<br /> <br /> == Safety Notes ==<br /> <br /> * '''SHARP BLADE''' - when handling the blade (eg. to adjust or change caps for different thickness) take care not to cut yourself<br /> <br /> * '''TRAPPING''' - The head and roller of the machine are moved by programs in the machine's memory. Be careful when near the machine, it will possibly move even if the PC is off. Always keep the cover closed when cutting<br /> <br /> == Instructions ==<br /> <br /> We stock Heat Vinyl on the left (for TShirts) and Sticky Backed Vinyl on the right (for Signs).<br /> <br /> Heat Vinyl is cut upside down and mirrored.<br /> Sticky Vinyl is cut right way up and right way round.<br /> <br /> Draft instructions for use assuming Sticky Vinyl. If using Heat Vinyl, see [[Equipment/TShirtPress]] for alternative instructions as it's substantially different and must be mirrored.<br /> <br /> '''Read all instructions and warnings before you start'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Overall idea:<br /> *Create in Inkscape (see notes below about scaling if you use Illustrator!)<br /> *Load into SureCutsALot<br /> *Cut on the Silver Bullet<br /> *Press on the heat press or stick to something.<br /> <br /> Detail:<br /> *Create your vinyl masterpiece in Inkscape<br /> **Convert all your objects to path<br /> **Check with view outlines it's what you want (line thickness is ignored remember)<br /> **View -&gt; Display Mode -&gt; Outline<br /> **Save as SVG<br /> *Import into Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) on the vinyl cutter PC<br /> **Check scale (you'll need to make things 25% larger if using Illustrator. Please don't change SCAL import settings)<br /> **Do not mirror for sticky vinyl.<br /> **View as outline to check (sometimes this will show things that it otherwise hides)<br /> **Check tool offset is 0.25mm (Cutter -&gt; Cutter Settings)<br /> **Check mat orientation in SCAL (portrait/landscape)<br /> *Set up Silver Bullet<br /> **Check correct tip installed (usually 45 degree standard cutter, &quot;Click blade holder&quot;, the red one)<br /> **Insert sticky vinyl (if using Heat Vinyl, see [[Equipment/TShirtPress]] for alternative instructions)<br /> **Please put money for the vinyl in the honesty box straight away<br /> **Load up Silver Bullet with Sticky Backed Vinyl. Use the Silver Bullet Cutting Sheet to make life easy, you can get away without it for stiffer materials if leave 5cm at the top and 1cm at the bottom. Portrait or Landscape to match Cutting Sheet settings in SCAL.<br /> **Check cut depth on red Click Blade Holder (4 for vinyl?)<br /> **Offline mode, set to bottom right and ZERO it (offline mode, cross hair button).<br /> ***After Zeroing, press Test to do a test rectangle. Check it cuts the vinyl but not the backing.<br /> **Move cutting head to bottom right of sheet (material at back of printer) and zero it (offline, cross hair)<br /> **Double check you zero'd it and press Online on the Silver Bullet.<br /> **In SCAL:<br /> ***Delete any colours you're not cutting (undo with ctrl-Z later, but don't under your mirroring!)<br /> ***Menu: Cutter -&gt; Cut With Silver Bullet.<br /> ***Select Use Software Speed and Pressure. For Vinyl set to Speed = 200 and f=50. (could go faster? needs checking)<br /> ***Select &quot;Origin Point&quot;. Bottom right of piece to match location in SCAL.<br /> ***Check Silver Bullet is Online.<br /> ***&quot;Cut&quot; to start<br /> ***Will start immediately. If there is a delay, you probably forgot Online mode and you should wait for it to download before pressing Online (probably - needs checking)<br /> <br /> Pay for your vinyl<br /> *Stick Transfer Tape to front of vinyl<br /> *Weed from the back<br /> *Stick to final location and carefully remove transfer tape<br /> <br /> == Problems ==<br /> <br /> Software not connecting to cutter: &quot;The problem was that the baud rate in the menu on the Silver Bullet was set to 9600, while the software was set to 38400. These need to match, even for USB serial, so I've reset the SB back to 38400.&quot;<br /> <br /> = Official Documentation and Further Information =<br /> <br /> * Silver Bullet Manual: [http://learn.silverbulletcutters.com/silver-bullet-manual/ Silver Bullet manual download (actual file removed for the moment)]<br /> * Silver Bullet SCAL Software Manual (PC) (actual file removed for the moment due to copyright claim): [[Media:Silver Bullet and Scal Manual pc.pdf]]<br /> * Silver Bullet SCAL Software Manual (Mac) (actual file removed due to copyright claim): [[Media:Silver Bullet and Scal Manual mac.pdf]]<br /> * Silver Bullet Accessories: [[Media:Silver Bullet Accessories.pdf]]<br /> * Free files (boxes, frames, game pieces) that might be useful: [http://app.box.com/s/ht00330cgyao0lxk160i Free Files]<br /> * Intro to materials that can be printed and cut [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PijbpEQHppw Video Intro]<br /> * [http://silverbulletcutters.com/gallery/gallery/ Material cutting gallery] <br /> * [http://silverbulletcutters.com/gallery/video-collection/ Silver Bullet video collection]<br /> * [https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=599a4ab7197c18bb&amp;id=599A4AB7197C18BB!298926&amp;ithint=folder,&amp;authkey=!ABIkWjwBXSzRTfo Online tutorials]<br /> * [http://forum.silverbulletcutters.com Silver Bullet Cutters' Forum]<br /> * [http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/cameomattsignvinylrolls.asp MDP Supplies - Where Makespace gets the vinyl stock]<br /> You can make up your own personal guides to materials that you use and the settings used on those materials by printing out guide sheets from the PC connected to the Silver Bullet (the guide sheets are on the desktop).

Please note, this is used by the Mill Owners as a prompt to ensure training is executed in a consistent and complete fashion; this does not constitute and is not a substitute for the training itself. <br /> <br /> == Group Training ==<br /> <br /> The group training introduction structure, suitable for 1-4 members at a time in a 1 hr session.<br /> <br /> '''Mill Basics'''<br /> * Cover the basic mechanics of an 3 axis mill.<br /> * Explain the difference between machine co-ordinates and user co-ordinates<br /> * Cover the different types of cutters, ball, square etc.<br /> * Explain collets and how to change the cutter.<br /> * Cover types of materials than can be cut on the mill, wood, plastics, '''NO METAL'''<br /> * Cover how to fix work piece to bed.<br /> <br /> '''VPanel'''<br /> * Show how to move cutter around in X, Y and Z free hand<br /> * Show how to change the rapid speed, and explain difference between low/high and steps<br /> * Show how to set XYZ origins.<br /> * Show how to set Z origin using sensor.<br /> * Show how to move to set co-ordinates and make relative moves.<br /> * Explain how to switch to G-Code load G-Code files<br /> <br /> '''Click Mill'''<br /> * Explain how to do basic operations such as pocket and surface.<br /> * Cover the basic cutting parameters, such as feed rates, spindle speed, cutting in amount and path interval.<br /> <br /> '''SRP Player'''<br /> * File formats that can be loaded (STL/IGES/Rhino)<br /> * Rotating imported model to correct orientation.<br /> * Scale model if needed.<br /> * Cover type of milling<br /> ** Surface finish<br /> ** Flat / curved<br /> ** What cutting top or top and bottom means<br /> ** Adding supports<br /> * Explain creation of tool paths<br /> * Set the size of the work piece and material<br /> * Create initial tool path<br /> * Show cutting preview and explain how it can show cutting errors by flicking between model and preview.<br /> * Show how to edit cutting paths, change tools and cutting area and depth.<br /> * Show margins and slope and re-generate tool paths.<br /> * Open and show the sample project 'thing.srp' as an example of how tool paths can be tweaked to reduce cutting times and optimize support material.<br /> <br /> '''Cut 2D'''<br /> * Open sample project to show basics of tool paths and 3D preview.<br /> * Refer people to the videos on the Cut2D website.<br /> <br /> '''Q and A'''<br /> <br /> == Individual Training Task ==<br /> <br /> The individual task to get familiar, prompt questions and check understanding:<br /> <br /> * Power machine on<br /> * Change the current tool, demonstrating understand of the collet system and correct positioning of cutter in collet. Ensure that the cutter is not dropped.<br /> * Position the cutter over the XY origin and set as origin in user co-ordinates.<br /> * Set the Z origin using the sensor.<br /> * Using the ClickMill software cut a 20x20mm pocket 5mm deep offset by 5,5mm from the origin.<br /> * Pause the job midway through, then restart it.<br /> * Clean machine. <br /> * Turn off.<br /> <br /> == Project Oversight ==<br /> <br /> For next 2-3 projects or until they are comfortable, projects should be machine out of soft materials only such as foam, that way if a mistake is made no damage will be caused to the machine and an expensive block of material lost. If possible the newly trained user should find another more experienced trained user to support them (second pair of eyes) in their first couple of projects, or any time they are unsure.<br /> <br /> '''If in doubt ask for advice!!'''</div>

The top things to always remember when using the CNC Router are:<br /> * '''ONLY USE THE MILL IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST OF TRAINED USERS'''<br /> * '''NEVER LEAVE THE MILL RUNNING UNATTENDED'''<br /> <br /> As a trained user, you should be very aware of the following risks and how to deal with them:<br /> <br /> '''SHARP OBJECTS''' - The cutters used by the machine can be very sharp. Care should be taken when handling the cutters or working near the cutters such as when cleaning after use.<br /> <br /> '''DUST''' - Ensure the machine is cleaned thoroughly after use.<br /> <br /> '''Never use a pneumatic blower'''<br /> This machine is not compatible with a pneumatic blower. Cutting waste may get inside the machine and cause fire or electrical shock.<br /> <br /> == Instructions ==<br /> <br /> [http://wiki.makespace.org/File:MDX-40A_USE_EN_R1.pdf Product Manual]<br /> <br /> ===Coordinate Systems===<br /> <br /> The main window in VPanel displays the present location of the tool as numerical values. Using these lets you perform manual feed accurately, which can be very convenient in tasks such as aligning the workpiece.<br /> <br /> The numerical values that indicate the location of the tool are called &quot;coordinates,&quot; and the starting point for the coordinates is called the &quot;origin.&quot; The following figure shows a location that is shifted from the origin by 50 millimetres along the X-axis, 30 millimetres along the Y-axis, and 20 millimetres along the Z-axis. This X-axis distance is called the &quot;X-axis coordinate&quot; (or sometimes just the &quot;X coordinate&quot;), and the Y- and Z-axis distances are similarly called the &quot;Y-axis coordinate&quot; and the &quot;Z-axis coordinate.&quot;<br /> <br /> The distances from the origin for the respective axes to the tool are therefore the corresponding coordinate values.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mill_Coords.PNG]]<br /> <br /> It is possible to select the coordinate system that is used to display the tool location in VPanel. ''The selection made here only determines the method used to display coordinates''. <br /> <br /> With the actual origin point, you need to perform the setting individually for the coordinate system that is used with the cutting data. It is a good idea to leave the selection at &quot;User Coordinate System&quot; as this is the system used by most programs.<br /> <br /> * '''User Coordinate System''': This is a coordinate system in which the location of the origin point can be freely changed.<br /> * '''Machine Coordinate System''': This is a machine-specific coordinate system in which the location of the origin point is fixed and cannot be changed.<br /> <br /> ===Pausing/Resuming/Quitting of Cutting===<br /> This operation pauses cutting. You perform it using the built-in panel. This also makes it possible to resume cutting at the paused position after an operation such as moving the tool to check the status of the workpiece.<br /> <br /> '''Press the VIEW button during cutting.'''<br /> Rotation of the spindle stops, and the tool moves to the VIEW position. While movement of the tool and table is in progress, the VIEW lamp flashes, and after the movement is completed, the lamp lights up.<br /> <br /> It is possible to open the front cover while the machine is paused. Before opening the front cover, make sure that the cutting operation stopped completely and that the VIEW lamp is lit.<br /> <br /> '''Press and hold the VIEW button.'''<br /> The tool returns to the position where operation was paused, and cutting resumes. After the tool starts moving, the VIEW lamp flashes until cutting is resumed. When cutting is resumed, the VIEW lamp goes dark.<br /> <br /> If you open the front cover while the operation is paused, close the front cover, then perform the operation to resume.<br /> <br /> ===Tool Selection===<br /> <br /> Select a tool matched to the purpose. It's a good idea to use the tools selectively, according to the work process (such as rough cutting or finish cutting) and the design.<br /> <br /> Cutters is an all-inclusive term used to describe the rotating cutting tools used. Cutters can be manufactured from high speed steel or carbide and are available in a variety of configurations for specific applications.<br /> <br /> * '''End mill''' <br /> ** Straight end mill: The end cutting edge is flat-shaped. It is suitable for fashioning a flat surface or steps.<br /> ** Ball end mill: The end cutting edge is ball-shaped. It is suitable for fashioning a curved surface or waveform.<br /> * '''Engraving cutter'''<br /> ** Character cutter: This tool is suitable for engraving in general with broad versatility. It is appropriate for character engraving on the plate.<br /> ** Parallel cutter: This cutter is suitable for engraving wide surfaces. This cutter enables engraving large characters and surface leveling (to flatten the surface of the material) of the table where the material is placed. Because both sides have a cutting blade, it is not possible to make a deep cut in the Z-axis direction.<br /> <br /> ===Recovery of Operation from Emergency Stop or Emergency Shutdown===<br /> If an emergency stop or an emergency shutdown occurs during cutting, remove the tool and the<br /> workpiece from the machine. When the operation resumes, initialization is performed on the machine.<br /> <br /> At this time, the tool and the workpiece may collide depending on the position in which the tool and workpiece stopped, which can cause damage to the machine while restarting.<br /> <br /> ===Overrides===<br /> '''Using Overrides'''<br /> An override is a feature for adjusting the feed rate or spindle speed while cutting is in progress. This is useful when you want to change the feed rate or speed as you monitor the status of cutting. An override value is specified as a percentage. For example, when the command in the cutting data sent from the computer is for a speed of 5,000 rpm, specifying an override of 150% produces an actual speed of 7,500 rpm.<br /> <br /> '''Cutting Speed Override'''<br /> This works on the tool movement speed of when the workpiece is being cut. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be 100%.<br /> <br /> '''Spindle Speed Override'''<br /> This works on the rotation speed of the spindle. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be 100%. This is also effective when rotating the spindle during manual operations.<br /> <br /> ===Setting the Z Origin Using the Z0 Sensor===<br /> ''A tool that has an extremely narrow tip may break when it touches the tool sensor depending on which tool is to be used.''<br /> <br /> 1. Set the workpiece on the table, and place the Z0 sensor at the place where you want to set the Z origin on the workpiece. Face the surface of the Z0 sensor with no screw hole facing upward.<br /> <br /> [[image:Mill_z0.PNG]]<br /> <br /> 2. Use the VPanel feed button and move the tool to the position above the sensor.<br /> <br /> 3. Close the front cover.<br /> <br /> 4. Select &quot;Set &quot;Z Origin using sensor&quot; and click Detect. The tool slowly descend until it contacts the sensor. When the tool rises and stops, the setting operation is complete. <br /> <br /> Note: It is important the tool is electrically conductive from tip to shaft, and the sensor is clean. Failure to check will cause damage to the tool and sensor.<br /> <br /> 5. Remove the sensor from the workpiece to a location where it will not interfere with future cutting operations.<br /> <br /> ==Software==<br /> <br /> ===[[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill/VPanel|VPanel]]===<br /> [[Image:V_Panel_e.jpg]]<br /> <br /> VPanel is a program to operate the modelling machine on the computer screen. It has functions to output cutting data, perform maintenance, and make various corrections. In addition, it displays error messages of the modelling machine.<br /> <br /> ===ClickMill===<br /> [[Image:ClickMILL_e.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ClickMILL is a program that lets you perform simple milling operations without a model (3D shape data). It allows you to perform drilling, chamfering and surface levelling and to cut flat panels to size in rectangular or circular shapes.<br /> <br /> ===SRP Player===<br /> [[Image:Srp p.jpg]]<br /> <br /> SRP Player imports a model (3D data in IGES, DXF [3D], and STL) and cuts a workpiece to transform it into the actual shape. It calculates the path of the blade that performs the cutting, and operates a cutting machine accordingly. The path of the blade is called the &quot;tool path&quot;. <br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnOkGfqXGjY Sample Part Cutting 1 (video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEVCNFpSkPo Sample Part Cutting 2 (video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtLUlEqu5Dk Surfacing and Drilling (Video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRGFwBT3dm8 Basic Introduction to SRP Player (Video)] <br /> <br /> Note: We do not have the Rotary axis or the tool changer show in some of these videos.<br /> <br /> ===Cut2D===<br /> [[Image:Cut2d.jpg|180px]]<br /> <br /> [http://www.vectric.com/products/cut2d.html Manufacture's site for Cut2D]<br /> <br /> Cut2D is easy to use. The software automatically compensates for the cutter diameter and geometry when calculating toolpaths, so you simply select the shapes to machine and Cut2D takes care of the rest. <br /> <br /> Cut2D opens CAD drawings and vector designs from most drawing packages and includes filters for the following industry standard file formats: DXF, DWG, EPS, AI &amp; PDF files<br /> <br /> Very simple projects can also be drawn directly in Cut2D.<br /> <br /> Multiple designs can be imported and combined.<br /> <br /> Cut2D allows the you to preview the calculated tool paths in a 3D window to see exactly what the machined part will look like.<br /> <br /> [http://www.vectric.com/support/training-material/cut2d.html Cut2D Tutorials] These tutorials are very good and are your best resource for learning how to use this software.<br /> <br /> ===CopperCAM===<br /> [[Image:CopperCAM.jpg|180px]]<br /> <br /> [http://www.celeritous.com/estore/CopperCAM Manufacture's site for CopperCAM]<br /> <br /> An essential part of producing milled printed circuit boards is the ability to convert the Gerber photoplot files produced by most PCB layout tools to a format readable by CNC mill software to either isolate traces and pads or to &quot;rub out&quot; all copper on a board except traces and pads. You also need a tool to convert the common Excellon drill files to CNC language to drill the through holes and vias in the circuit board. <br /> <br /> CopperCAM is a program for engraving and isolation routing. It only provides the Gerber and drill file conversion and does not provide any machine control. The exported files should be loaded and run via the vPanel software for download to the mill.<br /> <br /> == Tips &amp; Tricks ==<br /> ===Conventional milling versus climb milling===<br /> <br /> A milling cutter can cut in two directions, sometimes known as conventional or up and climb or down.<br /> <br /> [[File:Climb_Conv1.JPG]]<br /> <br /> '''Conventional milling (left):''' The chip thickness starts at zero thickness, and increases up to the maximum. The cut is so light at the beginning that the tool does not cut, but slides across the surface of the material, until sufficient pressure is built up and the tooth suddenly bites and begins to cut. In metals this deforms the material (at point A on the diagram, left), work hardening it, dulling the tool and leaves a poor finish on the material.<br /> <br /> '''Climb milling (right):''' Each tooth engages the material at a definite point, and the width of the cut starts at the maximum and decreases to zero. The chips are disposed behind the cutter, leading to easier swarf removal. The tooth does not rub on the material, and so tool life may be longer. However, climb milling can apply larger loads to the machine, and so is not recommended for older milling machines, or machines which are not in good condition. <br /> <br /> While climb cutting is the most prevalent method in metalworking and conventional cutting is the dominant method in woodworking, plastics routing is somewhere in between the two. There are usually significant differences between the finish on a climb cut part and a conventional cut part, and the degree of difference varies by plastic and cutter geometry. The only rule of thumb that can be offered is that most soft plastics (HDPE, UHMW, polypropylene, etc.) respond best to conventional cutting, while some harder materials (acrylic, polycarbonate, nylon) occasionally respond better to climb cutting. <br /> <br /> The other factors when considering climb or conventional cutting are the aggressiveness of the cutter and part hold down. Climb cutting is a much more aggressive means of cutting and can chatter or move small parts that are not fixtured well. In most cases, soft chips that are difficult to extract from the cut are also more likely to weld to the climb-cut side rather than the conventional cut side. The best method of approach for most new materials is to run sample parts with both methods of cutting at the same feeds and speeds and make the determination from there.<br /> <br /> ===Milling Wood===<br /> <br /> When milling wood, always set the path to raster and position your piece so that the tool is passing with the grain. If you use other settings then swarf builds up and can easily jam the tool. If you are cutting large areas of wood then you will need to be alert to the machine jamming due to build up of swarf, so don't go far. The machine does not work terribly well as a thicknesser, so consider using the bandsaw (although it doesn't like lime very much) or the CNC router. Clean the machine once you can see it getting really dusty, not at the end of the job, or it will take hours! Manually remove big chippings or Henry will choke on them.<br /> <br /> === Making PCBs ===<br /> <br /> The Model Mill should not be used to machine metal. It isn't strong enough, and the HSS cutter provided by Makespace will be damaged by metal and fibreglass (e.g. FR4 PCBs) very quickly.<br /> However, if you are considered by the Owners to be an experienced and careful Mill User, then it is possible to make basic PCBs providing you use your own mill bed and cutters. For more information see the helpful guide here: [[PCB_milling]]<br /> <br /> === Making your own Base Plate ===<br /> <br /> If you want to use screws to secure workpieces, or mounting holes etc you should make your own base to replace the public base installed in the mill. You can make a base plate easily using the large CNC Router. If you do not have access to that equipment, ask around for help, its a quick job.<br /> The base can be made from thick MDF or plywood.

The current Owners of this item are:<br /> <br /> * Paul Osborn<br /> * Robin Sterling<br /> <br /> If you have any questions, problems or concerns around the Model Mill, please use the mailing list thread:<br /> * [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cammakespace/F0MPTtkjX2E/discussion Log : MDX40 Model Mill]<br /> <br /> == Training ==<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;background:#FADADD; border:1px solid #FFC0CB; padding:5px&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;YOU CAN ONLY USE THE MODEL MILL IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> and have been added to the [[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill/Training#Trained_Users|Trained Users]] list by one of the Owners<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> To get trained on the model mill and be added to the qualified user list, you will need to arrange for a training session with one of the Model Mill Owners. <br /> <br /> If you'd like to arrange training, please see:<br /> * [[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill/Training|Model Mill Training]]<br /> <br /> == Health and Safety ==<br /> <br /> The Model Mill is unlikely to hurt you, but you can easily hurt it without training so it must only be operated by members who have received appropriate training and who take due care. The top things to always remember when using the CNC Router are:<br /> * '''ONLY USE THE MILL IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST OF TRAINED USERS'''<br /> * '''NEVER LEAVE THE MILL RUNNING UNATTENDED'''<br /> <br /> As a trained user, you should be very aware of the following risks and how to deal with them:<br /> <br /> '''SHARP OBJECTS''' - The cutters used by the machine can be very sharp. Care should be taken when handling the cutters or working near the cutters such as when cleaning after use.<br /> <br /> '''DUST''' - Ensure the machine is cleaned thoroughly after use.<br /> <br /> '''Never use a pneumatic blower'''<br /> This machine is not compatible with a pneumatic blower. Cutting waste may get inside the machine and cause fire or electrical shock.<br /> <br /> == Instructions ==<br /> <br /> [http://wiki.makespace.org/File:MDX-40A_USE_EN_R1.pdf Product Manual]<br /> <br /> ===Coordinate Systems===<br /> <br /> The main window in VPanel displays the present location of the tool as numerical values. Using these lets you perform manual feed accurately, which can be very convenient in tasks such as aligning the workpiece.<br /> <br /> The numerical values that indicate the location of the tool are called &quot;coordinates,&quot; and the starting point for the coordinates is called the &quot;origin.&quot; The following figure shows a location that is shifted from the origin by 50 millimetres along the X-axis, 30 millimetres along the Y-axis, and 20 millimetres along the Z-axis. This X-axis distance is called the &quot;X-axis coordinate&quot; (or sometimes just the &quot;X coordinate&quot;), and the Y- and Z-axis distances are similarly called the &quot;Y-axis coordinate&quot; and the &quot;Z-axis coordinate.&quot;<br /> <br /> The distances from the origin for the respective axes to the tool are therefore the corresponding coordinate values.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mill_Coords.PNG]]<br /> <br /> It is possible to select the coordinate system that is used to display the tool location in VPanel. ''The selection made here only determines the method used to display coordinates''. <br /> <br /> With the actual origin point, you need to perform the setting individually for the coordinate system that is used with the cutting data. It is a good idea to leave the selection at &quot;User Coordinate System&quot; as this is the system used by most programs.<br /> <br /> * '''User Coordinate System''': This is a coordinate system in which the location of the origin point can be freely changed.<br /> * '''Machine Coordinate System''': This is a machine-specific coordinate system in which the location of the origin point is fixed and cannot be changed.<br /> <br /> ===Pausing/Resuming/Quitting of Cutting===<br /> This operation pauses cutting. You perform it using the built-in panel. This also makes it possible to resume cutting at the paused position after an operation such as moving the tool to check the status of the workpiece.<br /> <br /> '''Press the VIEW button during cutting.'''<br /> Rotation of the spindle stops, and the tool moves to the VIEW position. While movement of the tool and table is in progress, the VIEW lamp flashes, and after the movement is completed, the lamp lights up.<br /> <br /> It is possible to open the front cover while the machine is paused. Before opening the front cover, make sure that the cutting operation stopped completely and that the VIEW lamp is lit.<br /> <br /> '''Press and hold the VIEW button.'''<br /> The tool returns to the position where operation was paused, and cutting resumes. After the tool starts moving, the VIEW lamp flashes until cutting is resumed. When cutting is resumed, the VIEW lamp goes dark.<br /> <br /> If you open the front cover while the operation is paused, close the front cover, then perform the operation to resume.<br /> <br /> ===Tool Selection===<br /> <br /> Select a tool matched to the purpose. It's a good idea to use the tools selectively, according to the work process (such as rough cutting or finish cutting) and the design.<br /> <br /> Cutters is an all-inclusive term used to describe the rotating cutting tools used. Cutters can be manufactured from high speed steel or carbide and are available in a variety of configurations for specific applications.<br /> <br /> * '''End mill''' <br /> ** Straight end mill: The end cutting edge is flat-shaped. It is suitable for fashioning a flat surface or steps.<br /> ** Ball end mill: The end cutting edge is ball-shaped. It is suitable for fashioning a curved surface or waveform.<br /> * '''Engraving cutter'''<br /> ** Character cutter: This tool is suitable for engraving in general with broad versatility. It is appropriate for character engraving on the plate.<br /> ** Parallel cutter: This cutter is suitable for engraving wide surfaces. This cutter enables engraving large characters and surface leveling (to flatten the surface of the material) of the table where the material is placed. Because both sides have a cutting blade, it is not possible to make a deep cut in the Z-axis direction.<br /> <br /> ===Recovery of Operation from Emergency Stop or Emergency Shutdown===<br /> If an emergency stop or an emergency shutdown occurs during cutting, remove the tool and the<br /> workpiece from the machine. When the operation resumes, initialization is performed on the machine.<br /> <br /> At this time, the tool and the workpiece may collide depending on the position in which the tool and workpiece stopped, which can cause damage to the machine while restarting.<br /> <br /> ===Overrides===<br /> '''Using Overrides'''<br /> An override is a feature for adjusting the feed rate or spindle speed while cutting is in progress. This is useful when you want to change the feed rate or speed as you monitor the status of cutting. An override value is specified as a percentage. For example, when the command in the cutting data sent from the computer is for a speed of 5,000 rpm, specifying an override of 150% produces an actual speed of 7,500 rpm.<br /> <br /> '''Cutting Speed Override'''<br /> This works on the tool movement speed of when the workpiece is being cut. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be 100%.<br /> <br /> '''Spindle Speed Override'''<br /> This works on the rotation speed of the spindle. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be 100%. This is also effective when rotating the spindle during manual operations.<br /> <br /> ===Setting the Z Origin Using the Z0 Sensor===<br /> ''A tool that has an extremely narrow tip may break when it touches the tool sensor depending on which tool is to be used.''<br /> <br /> 1. Set the workpiece on the table, and place the Z0 sensor at the place where you want to set the Z origin on the workpiece. Face the surface of the Z0 sensor with no screw hole facing upward.<br /> <br /> [[image:Mill_z0.PNG]]<br /> <br /> 2. Use the VPanel feed button and move the tool to the position above the sensor.<br /> <br /> 3. Close the front cover.<br /> <br /> 4. Select &quot;Set &quot;Z Origin using sensor&quot; and click Detect. The tool slowly descend until it contacts the sensor. When the tool rises and stops, the setting operation is complete. <br /> <br /> Note: It is important the tool is electrically conductive from tip to shaft, and the sensor is clean. Failure to check will cause damage to the tool and sensor.<br /> <br /> 5. Remove the sensor from the workpiece to a location where it will not interfere with future cutting operations.<br /> <br /> ==Software==<br /> <br /> ===[[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill/VPanel|VPanel]]===<br /> [[Image:V_Panel_e.jpg]]<br /> <br /> VPanel is a program to operate the modelling machine on the computer screen. It has functions to output cutting data, perform maintenance, and make various corrections. In addition, it displays error messages of the modelling machine.<br /> <br /> ===ClickMill===<br /> [[Image:ClickMILL_e.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ClickMILL is a program that lets you perform simple milling operations without a model (3D shape data). It allows you to perform drilling, chamfering and surface levelling and to cut flat panels to size in rectangular or circular shapes.<br /> <br /> ===SRP Player===<br /> [[Image:Srp p.jpg]]<br /> <br /> SRP Player imports a model (3D data in IGES, DXF [3D], and STL) and cuts a workpiece to transform it into the actual shape. It calculates the path of the blade that performs the cutting, and operates a cutting machine accordingly. The path of the blade is called the &quot;tool path&quot;. <br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnOkGfqXGjY Sample Part Cutting 1 (video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEVCNFpSkPo Sample Part Cutting 2 (video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtLUlEqu5Dk Surfacing and Drilling (Video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRGFwBT3dm8 Basic Introduction to SRP Player (Video)] <br /> <br /> Note: We do not have the Rotary axis or the tool changer show in some of these videos.<br /> <br /> ===Cut2D===<br /> [[Image:Cut2d.jpg|180px]]<br /> <br /> [http://www.vectric.com/products/cut2d.html Manufacture's site for Cut2D]<br /> <br /> Cut2D is easy to use. The software automatically compensates for the cutter diameter and geometry when calculating toolpaths, so you simply select the shapes to machine and Cut2D takes care of the rest. <br /> <br /> Cut2D opens CAD drawings and vector designs from most drawing packages and includes filters for the following industry standard file formats: DXF, DWG, EPS, AI &amp; PDF files<br /> <br /> Very simple projects can also be drawn directly in Cut2D.<br /> <br /> Multiple designs can be imported and combined.<br /> <br /> Cut2D allows the you to preview the calculated tool paths in a 3D window to see exactly what the machined part will look like.<br /> <br /> [http://www.vectric.com/support/training-material/cut2d.html Cut2D Tutorials] These tutorials are very good and are your best resource for learning how to use this software.<br /> <br /> ===CopperCAM===<br /> [[Image:CopperCAM.jpg|180px]]<br /> <br /> [http://www.celeritous.com/estore/CopperCAM Manufacture's site for CopperCAM]<br /> <br /> An essential part of producing milled printed circuit boards is the ability to convert the Gerber photoplot files produced by most PCB layout tools to a format readable by CNC mill software to either isolate traces and pads or to &quot;rub out&quot; all copper on a board except traces and pads. You also need a tool to convert the common Excellon drill files to CNC language to drill the through holes and vias in the circuit board. <br /> <br /> CopperCAM is a program for engraving and isolation routing. It only provides the Gerber and drill file conversion and does not provide any machine control. The exported files should be loaded and run via the vPanel software for download to the mill.<br /> <br /> == Tips &amp; Tricks ==<br /> ===Conventional milling versus climb milling===<br /> <br /> A milling cutter can cut in two directions, sometimes known as conventional or up and climb or down.<br /> <br /> [[File:Climb_Conv1.JPG]]<br /> <br /> '''Conventional milling (left):''' The chip thickness starts at zero thickness, and increases up to the maximum. The cut is so light at the beginning that the tool does not cut, but slides across the surface of the material, until sufficient pressure is built up and the tooth suddenly bites and begins to cut. In metals this deforms the material (at point A on the diagram, left), work hardening it, dulling the tool and leaves a poor finish on the material.<br /> <br /> '''Climb milling (right):''' Each tooth engages the material at a definite point, and the width of the cut starts at the maximum and decreases to zero. The chips are disposed behind the cutter, leading to easier swarf removal. The tooth does not rub on the material, and so tool life may be longer. However, climb milling can apply larger loads to the machine, and so is not recommended for older milling machines, or machines which are not in good condition. <br /> <br /> While climb cutting is the most prevalent method in metalworking and conventional cutting is the dominant method in woodworking, plastics routing is somewhere in between the two. There are usually significant differences between the finish on a climb cut part and a conventional cut part, and the degree of difference varies by plastic and cutter geometry. The only rule of thumb that can be offered is that most soft plastics (HDPE, UHMW, polypropylene, etc.) respond best to conventional cutting, while some harder materials (acrylic, polycarbonate, nylon) occasionally respond better to climb cutting. <br /> <br /> The other factors when considering climb or conventional cutting are the aggressiveness of the cutter and part hold down. Climb cutting is a much more aggressive means of cutting and can chatter or move small parts that are not fixtured well. In most cases, soft chips that are difficult to extract from the cut are also more likely to weld to the climb-cut side rather than the conventional cut side. The best method of approach for most new materials is to run sample parts with both methods of cutting at the same feeds and speeds and make the determination from there.<br /> <br /> ===Milling Wood===<br /> <br /> When milling wood, always set the path to raster and position your piece so that the tool is passing with the grain. If you use other settings then swarf builds up and can easily jam the tool. If you are cutting large areas of wood then you will need to be alert to the machine jamming due to build up of swarf, so don't go far. The machine does not work terribly well as a thicknesser, so consider using the bandsaw (although it doesn't like lime very much) or the CNC router. Clean the machine once you can see it getting really dusty, not at the end of the job, or it will take hours! Manually remove big chippings or Henry will choke on them.<br /> <br /> === Making PCBs ===<br /> <br /> The Model Mill should not be used to machine metal. It isn't strong enough, and the HSS cutter provided by Makespace will be damaged by metal and fibreglass (e.g. FR4 PCBs) very quickly.<br /> However, if you are considered by the Owners to be an experienced and careful Mill User, then it is possible to make basic PCBs providing you use your own mill bed and cutters. For more information see the helpful guide here: [[PCB_milling]]<br /> <br /> === Making your own Base Plate ===<br /> <br /> If you want to use screws to secure workpieces, or mounting holes etc you should make your own base to replace the public base installed in the mill. You can make a base plate easily using the large CNC Router. If you do not have access to that equipment, ask around for help, its a quick job.<br /> The base can be made from thick MDF or plywood.

It is ideal for quickly and easily creating high-quality prototypes, parts and models.<br /> <br /> http://www.rolanddga.com/products/milling/mdx40/<br /> <br /> * Capacity: 305 x 305 x 105mm<br /> * Rate (X,Y): 50mm/sec<br /> * Rate (Z): 30mm/sec<br /> * Spindle Speed: 4500 to 15000rpm<br /> * Resolution: 0.01mm<br /> * Materials: Plastics (ABS, Delrin/Acetal, Nylon, Acrylic), tooling board, wood, and modeling wax, PCBs<br /> * Includes scanning head<br /> <br /> Here are some examples we've made on the Model Mill (please add a photo of yours any time you do a job!) <br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Model_Mill_Job_1.jpg<br /> File:ModelMill_Gallery_1.jpg<br /> File:MDX_Mill_Gallery_20130407.jpg<br /> File:MDX_Mill_Gallery_20130407_2.jpg<br /> File:MDX_Mill_Gallery_20130406_1.jpg<br /> File:MDX_Mill_Gallery_20130323_1.jpg<br /> File:KnGI5X2.jpg<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> = Using the Mill=<br /> <br /> == Owners ==<br /> <br /> The Owners are those who have volunteered to be in charge of the equipment, organising maintenance, training others to use it, and generally being a point of contact. The current Owners of this item are:<br /> <br /> * [[User:perfectphase|Stephen Woolhead]]<br /> * [[User:Cannon_Fodder|Brian Corteil]]<br /> * [[User:Uboro|Uwe Borowski]]<br /> * [[User:Posborn |Paul Osborn]]<br /> * Robin Stirling (owner in training)<br /> <br /> If you have any questions, problems or concerns around the Model Mill, please use the mailing list thread:<br /> * [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cammakespace/F0MPTtkjX2E/discussion Log : MDX40 Model Mill]<br /> <br /> == Training ==<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;background:#FADADD; border:1px solid #FFC0CB; padding:5px&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;YOU CAN ONLY USE THE MODEL MILL IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> and have been added to the [[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill/Training#Trained_Users|Trained Users]] list by one of the Owners<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> To get trained on the model mill and be added to the qualified user list, you will need to arrange for a training session with one of the Model Mill Owners. <br /> <br /> If you'd like to arrange training, please see:<br /> * [[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill/Training|Model Mill Training]]<br /> <br /> == Health and Safety ==<br /> <br /> The Model Mill is unlikely to hurt you, but you can easily hurt it without training so it must only be operated by members who have received appropriate training and who take due care. The top things to always remember when using the CNC Router are:<br /> * '''ONLY USE THE MILL IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST OF TRAINED USERS'''<br /> * '''NEVER LEAVE THE MILL RUNNING UNATTENDED'''<br /> <br /> As a trained user, you should be very aware of the following risks and how to deal with them:<br /> <br /> '''SHARP OBJECTS''' - The cutters used by the machine can be very sharp. Care should be taken when handling the cutters or working near the cutters such as when cleaning after use.<br /> <br /> '''DUST''' - Ensure the machine is cleaned thoroughly after use.<br /> <br /> '''Never use a pneumatic blower'''<br /> This machine is not compatible with a pneumatic blower. Cutting waste may get inside the machine and cause fire or electrical shock.<br /> <br /> == Instructions ==<br /> <br /> [http://wiki.makespace.org/File:MDX-40A_USE_EN_R1.pdf Product Manual]<br /> <br /> ===Coordinate Systems===<br /> <br /> The main window in VPanel displays the present location of the tool as numerical values. Using these lets you perform manual feed accurately, which can be very convenient in tasks such as aligning the workpiece.<br /> <br /> The numerical values that indicate the location of the tool are called &quot;coordinates,&quot; and the starting point for the coordinates is called the &quot;origin.&quot; The following figure shows a location that is shifted from the origin by 50 millimetres along the X-axis, 30 millimetres along the Y-axis, and 20 millimetres along the Z-axis. This X-axis distance is called the &quot;X-axis coordinate&quot; (or sometimes just the &quot;X coordinate&quot;), and the Y- and Z-axis distances are similarly called the &quot;Y-axis coordinate&quot; and the &quot;Z-axis coordinate.&quot;<br /> <br /> The distances from the origin for the respective axes to the tool are therefore the corresponding coordinate values.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mill_Coords.PNG]]<br /> <br /> It is possible to select the coordinate system that is used to display the tool location in VPanel. ''The selection made here only determines the method used to display coordinates''. <br /> <br /> With the actual origin point, you need to perform the setting individually for the coordinate system that is used with the cutting data. It is a good idea to leave the selection at &quot;User Coordinate System&quot; as this is the system used by most programs.<br /> <br /> * '''User Coordinate System''': This is a coordinate system in which the location of the origin point can be freely changed.<br /> * '''Machine Coordinate System''': This is a machine-specific coordinate system in which the location of the origin point is fixed and cannot be changed.<br /> <br /> ===Pausing/Resuming/Quitting of Cutting===<br /> This operation pauses cutting. You perform it using the built-in panel. This also makes it possible to resume cutting at the paused position after an operation such as moving the tool to check the status of the workpiece.<br /> <br /> '''Press the VIEW button during cutting.'''<br /> Rotation of the spindle stops, and the tool moves to the VIEW position. While movement of the tool and table is in progress, the VIEW lamp flashes, and after the movement is completed, the lamp lights up.<br /> <br /> It is possible to open the front cover while the machine is paused. Before opening the front cover, make sure that the cutting operation stopped completely and that the VIEW lamp is lit.<br /> <br /> '''Press and hold the VIEW button.'''<br /> The tool returns to the position where operation was paused, and cutting resumes. After the tool starts moving, the VIEW lamp flashes until cutting is resumed. When cutting is resumed, the VIEW lamp goes dark.<br /> <br /> If you open the front cover while the operation is paused, close the front cover, then perform the operation to resume.<br /> <br /> ===Tool Selection===<br /> <br /> Select a tool matched to the purpose. It's a good idea to use the tools selectively, according to the work process (such as rough cutting or finish cutting) and the design.<br /> <br /> Cutters is an all-inclusive term used to describe the rotating cutting tools used. Cutters can be manufactured from high speed steel or carbide and are available in a variety of configurations for specific applications.<br /> <br /> * '''End mill''' <br /> ** Straight end mill: The end cutting edge is flat-shaped. It is suitable for fashioning a flat surface or steps.<br /> ** Ball end mill: The end cutting edge is ball-shaped. It is suitable for fashioning a curved surface or waveform.<br /> * '''Engraving cutter'''<br /> ** Character cutter: This tool is suitable for engraving in general with broad versatility. It is appropriate for character engraving on the plate.<br /> ** Parallel cutter: This cutter is suitable for engraving wide surfaces. This cutter enables engraving large characters and surface leveling (to flatten the surface of the material) of the table where the material is placed. Because both sides have a cutting blade, it is not possible to make a deep cut in the Z-axis direction.<br /> <br /> ===Recovery of Operation from Emergency Stop or Emergency Shutdown===<br /> If an emergency stop or an emergency shutdown occurs during cutting, remove the tool and the<br /> workpiece from the machine. When the operation resumes, initialization is performed on the machine.<br /> <br /> At this time, the tool and the workpiece may collide depending on the position in which the tool and workpiece stopped, which can cause damage to the machine while restarting.<br /> <br /> ===Overrides===<br /> '''Using Overrides'''<br /> An override is a feature for adjusting the feed rate or spindle speed while cutting is in progress. This is useful when you want to change the feed rate or speed as you monitor the status of cutting. An override value is specified as a percentage. For example, when the command in the cutting data sent from the computer is for a speed of 5,000 rpm, specifying an override of 150% produces an actual speed of 7,500 rpm.<br /> <br /> '''Cutting Speed Override'''<br /> This works on the tool movement speed of when the workpiece is being cut. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be 100%.<br /> <br /> '''Spindle Speed Override'''<br /> This works on the rotation speed of the spindle. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be 100%. This is also effective when rotating the spindle during manual operations.<br /> <br /> ===Setting the Z Origin Using the Z0 Sensor===<br /> ''A tool that has an extremely narrow tip may break when it touches the tool sensor depending on which tool is to be used.''<br /> <br /> 1. Set the workpiece on the table, and place the Z0 sensor at the place where you want to set the Z origin on the workpiece. Face the surface of the Z0 sensor with no screw hole facing upward.<br /> <br /> [[image:Mill_z0.PNG]]<br /> <br /> 2. Use the VPanel feed button and move the tool to the position above the sensor.<br /> <br /> 3. Close the front cover.<br /> <br /> 4. Select &quot;Set &quot;Z Origin using sensor&quot; and click Detect. The tool slowly descend until it contacts the sensor. When the tool rises and stops, the setting operation is complete. <br /> <br /> Note: It is important the tool is electrically conductive from tip to shaft, and the sensor is clean. Failure to check will cause damage to the tool and sensor.<br /> <br /> 5. Remove the sensor from the workpiece to a location where it will not interfere with future cutting operations.<br /> <br /> ==Software==<br /> <br /> ===[[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill/VPanel|VPanel]]===<br /> [[Image:V_Panel_e.jpg]]<br /> <br /> VPanel is a program to operate the modelling machine on the computer screen. It has functions to output cutting data, perform maintenance, and make various corrections. In addition, it displays error messages of the modelling machine.<br /> <br /> ===ClickMill===<br /> [[Image:ClickMILL_e.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ClickMILL is a program that lets you perform simple milling operations without a model (3D shape data). It allows you to perform drilling, chamfering and surface levelling and to cut flat panels to size in rectangular or circular shapes.<br /> <br /> ===SRP Player===<br /> [[Image:Srp p.jpg]]<br /> <br /> SRP Player imports a model (3D data in IGES, DXF [3D], and STL) and cuts a workpiece to transform it into the actual shape. It calculates the path of the blade that performs the cutting, and operates a cutting machine accordingly. The path of the blade is called the &quot;tool path&quot;. <br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnOkGfqXGjY Sample Part Cutting 1 (video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEVCNFpSkPo Sample Part Cutting 2 (video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtLUlEqu5Dk Surfacing and Drilling (Video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRGFwBT3dm8 Basic Introduction to SRP Player (Video)] <br /> <br /> Note: We do not have the Rotary axis or the tool changer show in some of these videos.<br /> <br /> ===Cut2D===<br /> [[Image:Cut2d.jpg|180px]]<br /> <br /> [http://www.vectric.com/products/cut2d.html Manufacture's site for Cut2D]<br /> <br /> Cut2D is easy to use. The software automatically compensates for the cutter diameter and geometry when calculating toolpaths, so you simply select the shapes to machine and Cut2D takes care of the rest. <br /> <br /> Cut2D opens CAD drawings and vector designs from most drawing packages and includes filters for the following industry standard file formats: DXF, DWG, EPS, AI &amp; PDF files<br /> <br /> Very simple projects can also be drawn directly in Cut2D.<br /> <br /> Multiple designs can be imported and combined.<br /> <br /> Cut2D allows the you to preview the calculated tool paths in a 3D window to see exactly what the machined part will look like.<br /> <br /> [http://www.vectric.com/support/training-material/cut2d.html Cut2D Tutorials] These tutorials are very good and are your best resource for learning how to use this software.<br /> <br /> ===CopperCAM===<br /> [[Image:CopperCAM.jpg|180px]]<br /> <br /> [http://www.celeritous.com/estore/CopperCAM Manufacture's site for CopperCAM]<br /> <br /> An essential part of producing milled printed circuit boards is the ability to convert the Gerber photoplot files produced by most PCB layout tools to a format readable by CNC mill software to either isolate traces and pads or to &quot;rub out&quot; all copper on a board except traces and pads. You also need a tool to convert the common Excellon drill files to CNC language to drill the through holes and vias in the circuit board. <br /> <br /> CopperCAM is a program for engraving and isolation routing. It only provides the Gerber and drill file conversion and does not provide any machine control. The exported files should be loaded and run via the vPanel software for download to the mill.<br /> <br /> == Tips &amp; Tricks ==<br /> ===Conventional milling versus climb milling===<br /> <br /> A milling cutter can cut in two directions, sometimes known as conventional or up and climb or down.<br /> <br /> [[File:Climb_Conv1.JPG]]<br /> <br /> '''Conventional milling (left):''' The chip thickness starts at zero thickness, and increases up to the maximum. The cut is so light at the beginning that the tool does not cut, but slides across the surface of the material, until sufficient pressure is built up and the tooth suddenly bites and begins to cut. In metals this deforms the material (at point A on the diagram, left), work hardening it, dulling the tool and leaves a poor finish on the material.<br /> <br /> '''Climb milling (right):''' Each tooth engages the material at a definite point, and the width of the cut starts at the maximum and decreases to zero. The chips are disposed behind the cutter, leading to easier swarf removal. The tooth does not rub on the material, and so tool life may be longer. However, climb milling can apply larger loads to the machine, and so is not recommended for older milling machines, or machines which are not in good condition. <br /> <br /> While climb cutting is the most prevalent method in metalworking and conventional cutting is the dominant method in woodworking, plastics routing is somewhere in between the two. There are usually significant differences between the finish on a climb cut part and a conventional cut part, and the degree of difference varies by plastic and cutter geometry. The only rule of thumb that can be offered is that most soft plastics (HDPE, UHMW, polypropylene, etc.) respond best to conventional cutting, while some harder materials (acrylic, polycarbonate, nylon) occasionally respond better to climb cutting. <br /> <br /> The other factors when considering climb or conventional cutting are the aggressiveness of the cutter and part hold down. Climb cutting is a much more aggressive means of cutting and can chatter or move small parts that are not fixtured well. In most cases, soft chips that are difficult to extract from the cut are also more likely to weld to the climb-cut side rather than the conventional cut side. The best method of approach for most new materials is to run sample parts with both methods of cutting at the same feeds and speeds and make the determination from there.<br /> <br /> ===Milling Wood===<br /> <br /> When milling wood, always set the path to raster and position your piece so that the tool is passing with the grain. If you use other settings then swarf builds up and can easily jam the tool. If you are cutting large areas of wood then you will need to be alert to the machine jamming due to build up of swarf, so don't go far. The machine does not work terribly well as a thicknesser, so consider using the bandsaw (although it doesn't like lime very much) or the CNC router. Clean the machine once you can see it getting really dusty, not at the end of the job, or it will take hours! Manually remove big chippings or Henry will choke on them.<br /> <br /> === Making PCBs ===<br /> <br /> The Model Mill should not be used to machine metal. It isn't strong enough, and the HSS cutter provided by Makespace will be damaged by metal and fibreglass (e.g. FR4 PCBs) very quickly.<br /> However, if you are considered by the Owners to be an experienced and careful Mill User, then it is possible to make basic PCBs providing you use your own mill bed and cutters.

You can make a base plate easily using the large CNC Router. If you do not have access to that equipment, ask around for help, its a quick job.<br /> The base can be made from thick MDF or plywood.

The top things to always remember when using the CNC Router are:<br /> * '''ONLY USE THE MILL IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST OF TRAINED USERS'''<br /> * '''NEVER LEAVE THE MILL RUNNING UNATTENDED'''<br /> <br /> As a trained user, you should be very aware of the following risks and how to deal with them:<br /> <br /> '''SHARP OBJECTS''' - The cutters used by the machine can be very sharp. Care should be taken when handling the cutters or working near the cutters such as when cleaning after use.<br /> <br /> '''DUST''' - Ensure the machine is cleaned thoroughly after use.<br /> <br /> '''Never use a pneumatic blower'''<br /> This machine is not compatible with a pneumatic blower. Cutting waste may get inside the machine and cause fire or electrical shock.<br /> <br /> == Instructions ==<br /> <br /> [http://wiki.makespace.org/File:MDX-40A_USE_EN_R1.pdf Product Manual]<br /> <br /> ===Coordinate Systems===<br /> <br /> The main window in VPanel displays the present location of the tool as numerical values. Using these lets you perform manual feed accurately, which can be very convenient in tasks such as aligning the workpiece.<br /> <br /> The numerical values that indicate the location of the tool are called &quot;coordinates,&quot; and the starting point for the coordinates is called the &quot;origin.&quot; The following figure shows a location that is shifted from the origin by 50 millimetres along the X-axis, 30 millimetres along the Y-axis, and 20 millimetres along the Z-axis. This X-axis distance is called the &quot;X-axis coordinate&quot; (or sometimes just the &quot;X coordinate&quot;), and the Y- and Z-axis distances are similarly called the &quot;Y-axis coordinate&quot; and the &quot;Z-axis coordinate.&quot;<br /> <br /> The distances from the origin for the respective axes to the tool are therefore the corresponding coordinate values.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mill_Coords.PNG]]<br /> <br /> It is possible to select the coordinate system that is used to display the tool location in VPanel. ''The selection made here only determines the method used to display coordinates''. <br /> <br /> With the actual origin point, you need to perform the setting individually for the coordinate system that is used with the cutting data. It is a good idea to leave the selection at &quot;User Coordinate System&quot; as this is the system used by most programs.<br /> <br /> * '''User Coordinate System''': This is a coordinate system in which the location of the origin point can be freely changed.<br /> * '''Machine Coordinate System''': This is a machine-specific coordinate system in which the location of the origin point is fixed and cannot be changed.<br /> <br /> ===Pausing/Resuming/Quitting of Cutting===<br /> This operation pauses cutting. You perform it using the built-in panel. This also makes it possible to resume cutting at the paused position after an operation such as moving the tool to check the status of the workpiece.<br /> <br /> '''Press the VIEW button during cutting.'''<br /> Rotation of the spindle stops, and the tool moves to the VIEW position. While movement of the tool and table is in progress, the VIEW lamp flashes, and after the movement is completed, the lamp lights up.<br /> <br /> It is possible to open the front cover while the machine is paused. Before opening the front cover, make sure that the cutting operation stopped completely and that the VIEW lamp is lit.<br /> <br /> '''Press and hold the VIEW button.'''<br /> The tool returns to the position where operation was paused, and cutting resumes. After the tool starts moving, the VIEW lamp flashes until cutting is resumed. When cutting is resumed, the VIEW lamp goes dark.<br /> <br /> If you open the front cover while the operation is paused, close the front cover, then perform the operation to resume.<br /> <br /> ===Tool Selection===<br /> <br /> Select a tool matched to the purpose. It's a good idea to use the tools selectively, according to the work process (such as rough cutting or finish cutting) and the design.<br /> <br /> Cutters is an all-inclusive term used to describe the rotating cutting tools used. Cutters can be manufactured from high speed steel or carbide and are available in a variety of configurations for specific applications.<br /> <br /> * '''End mill''' <br /> ** Straight end mill: The end cutting edge is flat-shaped. It is suitable for fashioning a flat surface or steps.<br /> ** Ball end mill: The end cutting edge is ball-shaped. It is suitable for fashioning a curved surface or waveform.<br /> * '''Engraving cutter'''<br /> ** Character cutter: This tool is suitable for engraving in general with broad versatility. It is appropriate for character engraving on the plate.<br /> ** Parallel cutter: This cutter is suitable for engraving wide surfaces. This cutter enables engraving large characters and surface leveling (to flatten the surface of the material) of the table where the material is placed. Because both sides have a cutting blade, it is not possible to make a deep cut in the Z-axis direction.<br /> <br /> ===Recovery of Operation from Emergency Stop or Emergency Shutdown===<br /> If an emergency stop or an emergency shutdown occurs during cutting, remove the tool and the<br /> workpiece from the machine. When the operation resumes, initialization is performed on the machine.<br /> <br /> At this time, the tool and the workpiece may collide depending on the position in which the tool and workpiece stopped, which can cause damage to the machine while restarting.<br /> <br /> ===Overrides===<br /> '''Using Overrides'''<br /> An override is a feature for adjusting the feed rate or spindle speed while cutting is in progress. This is useful when you want to change the feed rate or speed as you monitor the status of cutting. An override value is specified as a percentage. For example, when the command in the cutting data sent from the computer is for a speed of 5,000 rpm, specifying an override of 150% produces an actual speed of 7,500 rpm.<br /> <br /> '''Cutting Speed Override'''<br /> This works on the tool movement speed of when the workpiece is being cut. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be 100%.<br /> <br /> '''Spindle Speed Override'''<br /> This works on the rotation speed of the spindle. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be 100%. This is also effective when rotating the spindle during manual operations.<br /> <br /> ===Setting the Z Origin Using the Z0 Sensor===<br /> ''A tool that has an extremely narrow tip may break when it touches the tool sensor depending on which tool is to be used.''<br /> <br /> 1. Set the workpiece on the table, and place the Z0 sensor at the place where you want to set the Z origin on the workpiece. Face the surface of the Z0 sensor with no screw hole facing upward.<br /> <br /> [[image:Mill_z0.PNG]]<br /> <br /> 2. Use the VPanel feed button and move the tool to the position above the sensor.<br /> <br /> 3. Close the front cover.<br /> <br /> 4. Select &quot;Set &quot;Z Origin using sensor&quot; and click Detect. The tool slowly descend until it contacts the sensor. When the tool rises and stops, the setting operation is complete. <br /> <br /> Note: It is important the tool is electrically conductive from tip to shaft, and the sensor is clean. Failure to check will cause damage to the tool and sensor.<br /> <br /> 5. Remove the sensor from the workpiece to a location where it will not interfere with future cutting operations.<br /> <br /> ==Software==<br /> <br /> ===[[Equipment/CNC_Model_Mill/VPanel|VPanel]]===<br /> [[Image:V_Panel_e.jpg]]<br /> <br /> VPanel is a program to operate the modelling machine on the computer screen. It has functions to output cutting data, perform maintenance, and make various corrections. In addition, it displays error messages of the modelling machine.<br /> <br /> ===ClickMill===<br /> [[Image:ClickMILL_e.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ClickMILL is a program that lets you perform simple milling operations without a model (3D shape data). It allows you to perform drilling, chamfering and surface levelling and to cut flat panels to size in rectangular or circular shapes.<br /> <br /> ===SRP Player===<br /> [[Image:Srp p.jpg]]<br /> <br /> SRP Player imports a model (3D data in IGES, DXF [3D], and STL) and cuts a workpiece to transform it into the actual shape. It calculates the path of the blade that performs the cutting, and operates a cutting machine accordingly. The path of the blade is called the &quot;tool path&quot;. <br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnOkGfqXGjY Sample Part Cutting 1 (video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEVCNFpSkPo Sample Part Cutting 2 (video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtLUlEqu5Dk Surfacing and Drilling (Video)]<br /> <br /> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRGFwBT3dm8 Basic Introduction to SRP Player (Video)] <br /> <br /> Note: We do not have the Rotary axis or the tool changer show in some of these videos.<br /> <br /> ===Cut2D===<br /> [[Image:Cut2d.jpg|180px]]<br /> <br /> [http://www.vectric.com/products/cut2d.html Manufacture's site for Cut2D]<br /> <br /> Cut2D is easy to use. The software automatically compensates for the cutter diameter and geometry when calculating toolpaths, so you simply select the shapes to machine and Cut2D takes care of the rest. <br /> <br /> Cut2D opens CAD drawings and vector designs from most drawing packages and includes filters for the following industry standard file formats: DXF, DWG, EPS, AI &amp; PDF files<br /> <br /> Very simple projects can also be drawn directly in Cut2D.<br /> <br /> Multiple designs can be imported and combined.<br /> <br /> Cut2D allows the you to preview the calculated tool paths in a 3D window to see exactly what the machined part will look like.<br /> <br /> [http://www.vectric.com/support/training-material/cut2d.html Cut2D Tutorials] These tutorials are very good and are your best resource for learning how to use this software.<br /> <br /> ===CopperCAM===<br /> [[Image:CopperCAM.jpg|180px]]<br /> <br /> [http://www.celeritous.com/estore/CopperCAM Manufacture's site for CopperCAM]<br /> <br /> An essential part of producing milled printed circuit boards is the ability to convert the Gerber photoplot files produced by most PCB layout tools to a format readable by CNC mill software to either isolate traces and pads or to &quot;rub out&quot; all copper on a board except traces and pads. You also need a tool to convert the common Excellon drill files to CNC language to drill the through holes and vias in the circuit board. <br /> <br /> CopperCAM is a program for engraving and isolation routing. It only provides the Gerber and drill file conversion and does not provide any machine control. The exported files should be loaded and run via the vPanel software for download to the mill.<br /> <br /> == Tips &amp; Tricks ==<br /> ===Conventional milling versus climb milling===<br /> <br /> A milling cutter can cut in two directions, sometimes known as conventional or up and climb or down.<br /> <br /> [[File:Climb_Conv1.JPG]]<br /> <br /> '''Conventional milling (left):''' The chip thickness starts at zero thickness, and increases up to the maximum. The cut is so light at the beginning that the tool does not cut, but slides across the surface of the material, until sufficient pressure is built up and the tooth suddenly bites and begins to cut. In metals this deforms the material (at point A on the diagram, left), work hardening it, dulling the tool and leaves a poor finish on the material.<br /> <br /> '''Climb milling (right):''' Each tooth engages the material at a definite point, and the width of the cut starts at the maximum and decreases to zero. The chips are disposed behind the cutter, leading to easier swarf removal. The tooth does not rub on the material, and so tool life may be longer. However, climb milling can apply larger loads to the machine, and so is not recommended for older milling machines, or machines which are not in good condition. <br /> <br /> While climb cutting is the most prevalent method in metalworking and conventional cutting is the dominant method in woodworking, plastics routing is somewhere in between the two. There are usually significant differences between the finish on a climb cut part and a conventional cut part, and the degree of difference varies by plastic and cutter geometry. The only rule of thumb that can be offered is that most soft plastics (HDPE, UHMW, polypropylene, etc.) respond best to conventional cutting, while some harder materials (acrylic, polycarbonate, nylon) occasionally respond better to climb cutting. <br /> <br /> The other factors when considering climb or conventional cutting are the aggressiveness of the cutter and part hold down. Climb cutting is a much more aggressive means of cutting and can chatter or move small parts that are not fixtured well. In most cases, soft chips that are difficult to extract from the cut are also more likely to weld to the climb-cut side rather than the conventional cut side. The best method of approach for most new materials is to run sample parts with both methods of cutting at the same feeds and speeds and make the determination from there.<br /> <br /> ===Milling Wood===<br /> <br /> When milling wood, always set the path to raster and position your piece so that the tool is passing with the grain. If you use other settings then swarf builds up and can easily jam the tool. If you are cutting large areas of wood then you will need to be alert to the machine jamming due to build up of swarf, so don't go far. The machine does not work terribly well as a thicknesser, so consider using the bandsaw (although it doesn't like lime very much) or the CNC router. Clean the machine once you can see it getting really dusty, not at the end of the job, or it will take hours! Manually remove big chippings or Henry will choke on them.<br /> <br /> === Making PCBs ===<br /> <br /> The Model Mill should not be used to machine metal. It isn't strong enough, and the HSS cutter provided by Makespace will be damaged by metal and fibreglass (e.g. FR4 PCBs) very quickly.<br /> However, if you are considered by the Owners to be an experienced and careful Mill User, then it is possible to make basic PCBs providing you use your own mill bed and cutters. For more information see the helpful guide here: [[PCB_milling]]<br /> <br /> === Making your own Base Plate ===<br /> <br /> If you want to use screws to secure workpieces, or mounting holes etc you should make your own base to replace the public base installed in the mill. You can make a base plate easily using the large CNC Router. If you do not have access to that equipment, ask around for help, its a quick job.<br /> The base can be made from thick MDF or plywood.

Please note, this is used by the Mill Owners as a prompt to ensure training is executed in a consistent and complete fashion; this does not constitute and is not a substitute for the training itself. <br /> <br /> == Group Training ==<br /> <br /> The group training introduction structure, suitable for 1-4 members at a time in a 1 hr session.<br /> <br /> '''Mill Basics'''<br /> * Cover the basic mechanics of an 3 axis mill.<br /> * Explain the difference between machine co-ordinates and user co-ordinates<br /> * Cover the different types of cutters, ball, square etc.<br /> * Explain collets and how to change the cutter.<br /> * Cover types of materials than can be cut on the mill, wood, plastics, '''NO METAL'''<br /> * Cover how to fix work piece to bed.<br /> <br /> '''VPanel'''<br /> * Show how to move cutter around in X, Y and Z free hand<br /> * Show how to change the rapid speed, and explain difference between low/high and steps<br /> * Show how to set XYZ origins.<br /> * Show how to set Z origin using sensor.<br /> * Show how to move to set co-ordinates and make relative moves.<br /> * Explain how to switch to G-Code load G-Code files<br /> <br /> '''Click Mill'''<br /> * Explain how to do basic operations such as pocket and surface.<br /> * Cover the basic cutting parameters, such as feed rates, spindle speed, cutting in amount and path interval.<br /> <br /> '''SRP Player'''<br /> * File formats that can be loaded (STL/IGES/Rhino)<br /> * Rotating imported model to correct orientation.<br /> * Scale model if needed.<br /> * Cover type of milling<br /> ** Surface finish<br /> ** Flat / curved<br /> ** What cutting top or top and bottom means<br /> ** Adding supports<br /> * Explain creation of tool paths<br /> * Set the size of the work piece and material<br /> * Create initial tool path<br /> * Show cutting preview and explain how it can show cutting errors by flicking between model and preview.<br /> * Show how to edit cutting paths, change tools and cutting area and depth.<br /> * Show margins and slope and re-generate tool paths.<br /> * Open and show the sample project 'thing.srp' as an example of how tool paths can be tweaked to reduce cutting times and optimize support material.<br /> <br /> '''Cut 2D'''<br /> * Open sample project to show basics of tool paths and 3D preview.<br /> * Refer people to the videos on the Cut2D website.<br /> <br /> '''Q and A'''<br /> <br /> == Individual Training Task ==<br /> <br /> The individual task to get familiar, prompt questions and check understanding:<br /> <br /> * Power machine on<br /> * Change the current tool, demonstrating understand of the collet system and correct positioning of cutter in collet. Ensure that the cutter is not dropped.<br /> * Position the cutter over the XY origin and set as origin in user co-ordinates.<br /> * Set the Z origin using the sensor.<br /> * Using the ClickMill software cut a 20x20mm pocket 5mm deep offset by 5,5mm from the origin.<br /> * Pause the job midway through, then restart it.<br /> * Clean machine. <br /> * Turn off.<br /> <br /> == Project Oversight ==<br /> <br /> For next 2-3 projects or until they are comfortable, projects should be machine out of soft materials only such as foam, that way if a mistake is made no damage will be caused to the machine and an expensive block of material lost. If possible the newly trained user should find another more experienced trained user to support them (second pair of eyes) in their first couple of projects, or any time they are unsure.<br /> <br /> '''If in doubt ask for advice!!'''</div>
