A CNC Router You CAN Run Vertically? We Put it to the Test on a 3D Carve!
Рет қаралды 25,741
Жыл бұрынThis CNC router video explains if and when you can run your CNC router vertically rather than horizontally. In this video, we cover the Longmill MK2 CNC router and how to set it up vertically and mount it on a tilt table from Rockler.
CNC routers with screw drives can be run vertically, but it is not recommended with belt-drive CNC machines. Running your CNC router vertically, and mounting on a tilt frame also is a spacing method to keep the garage clear.
In this video, you will also learn how to recover your x, Y & Z positions after the zero was lost. Especially when carving 3d CNC router projects. The 3D carve in this video can be found in the Vectric Vcarve and Aspire design software. This is the software that is taught on this channel.

One thing I have done to mark the push button switches on the control box...... 3 strips of masking tape around the switches. Stop gets a red strip. Pause gets a yellow strip. Resume gets a green strip. That way you don't have to think or try to read the labels. You KNOW by the color which button you may want to push. Nice video. Too late for me, my table is made and my garage is all re-arranged to make more space. Could always do that later I suppose. You have proven that counter weights are not needed to take the load off the motors. Cool deal.

I’ll just grab a gauge block of any size and touch off with the first tool and record the Z value. Then I’ll put the next tool in and touch the gauge block with it, then enter the value of the first tool in the z position in gsender for the second tool. I hope I described this correctly. This may not be for everyone but it works well for me. Your method is just as good! Just thought I’d like to share. Thanks again!

The tilting table is interesting. I usually like to get a machine in place, get it leveled and trammed and leave it there. To me, moving it often means losing accuracy, but some guys have their machines on dolly's or moveable tables and they have to move things around for lack of space. You sort of converted your vertical router into a horizontal one, obviously resulting in a smaller footprint. There is some benefits to horizontal machining. One of then being your chips fall off your piece and don't build up around it. With a dust collector and wood, it might not be as big a benefit. The hog mill you are using looks like a fine tooth roughing end mill with TiCN coating. I've used them on hard metals like titanium and stainless alloys. They don't necessarily cut any faster or you're able to take lager cuts with them. They do cut much smoother. You get virtually no vibration like you will likely get from a more conventional end mill. I never used them on wood. Climb and conventional cuts? Well in climb cuts the cutter climbs over the material. It pushes away from the material. In conventional cuts, the tool is pushing the material and pulling itself inward. This is usually the direction of cut used with hand routers. You try to climb with a hand router, it can grab and get away from you. That cut direction can also can lead to increased tear out. Conventional cuts also require a lot more force. That could result in your piece or hold down fixture moving. A clockwise spiral cut from the outside in keeps the tool in climb cut mode, reducing cutting force and tear out. I've seen you stand on the Longmill gantry to show how rigid it is. What really impressed me though was in one of your videos, you were using a large diameter tool. I think it was a corner rounding cutter. You were taking a heavy cut at a high feed rate and buried that tool in a corner. The router motor slowed down but the gantry didn't flinch. That was impressive. When you are setting tool heights from the top of your material and a tool has cut the top of the piece, you no longer have that reference height. You can cut a block the same height of the material you are cutting. Set your tool heights off that. Or you can set your tools off your machine table, or spoil board, essentially the bottom of your piece. It's easy to do in Vectric. I use a a battery backed UPS with my router. I think I get cleaner electric, but more importantly if I have a brief power interruption, the machine keeps going. if the power goes out longer, I can stop the machine and return it to X0., Y0., Z0. With long running 3D cuts, power interruptions can get expensive. I've also taped a piece of scrap wood to my spoil board and made a spot mark at some known distance from my piece 0,0. Lets say X-3. Y-3. If i lose power and my position, I can relocate that spot and move X3. Y3. from it and I'm back at my piece 0,0. That was my fall back when I stopped a cut because it was late and I was tired. I forgot to bring the machine back to 0,0. I don't have a home position on my machine. It's an open system. Where I shut it off is where my new 0,0 is. So I kind of created one in a primitive way. Great looking project.

Well, as stated in a comment on this video a bit ago I stated that I installed it directly vertical on my wall! Big mistake! The X, Z axis rail goes out of whack, becomes out of level on one side, eventually came crashing down from the Y axis motors (the threaded rods on both sides came out from the clasp that connect to both motors). When I fixed it all back up and leveled it off, it went back out of level and dropped down less then an inch on one side. So, as nice as it was with a built sawdust chute underneath and all debris falling directly in and with ease of access to the whole cutting area without having to reach over and under, it doesn't stay level because of gravity and its heavier on one side then the other. The tilt table idea is best. Not directly install on a wall!! My mistake.

Z zero is always the top of the material. Measured by the distance from the machine table to the top of the material. The result is a always + z distance in the dro .

John, you should be able to do that no problem brother! That would be a very unique look to both sides of the book.

Thanks. Just need to figure out how to do it. Lol

Would it make sense to oversize a project by an inch or so, to include an area that will not be carved and as a result always be available to reset zero in the case of a power failure?

Wow that's good idea, I've DIY CNC full ballscrew for all axis, can I applying this tips to my machine too? My working table is 1200mm x 2400mm 😅
@alwayscensored6871 Жыл бұрын
If you have two steppers on the Y you should be ok. Otherwise, cables, pulleys and counterweights will be needed.
@GelX Жыл бұрын
@@alwayscensored6871 Indid, for Y axis I have 2 stepper Nema 34 12nm, and have double-ballnut each ballscrew. But the main problem is the wight and size of my machine, currently it's impossible to tilt more than 30 degree. (30 degree is not enough 😅)

GelX, you should be good to go for your machine brother if you have two Y axis stepper motors.

How can the engraving bit follow the curve of the "Page" i.e. vary the z axis.
@IDCWoodcraft Жыл бұрын
Roger, this would really depend on the code you're using brother! Are you looking to vary the depth of your engravings?

Do you still use your Rockler stand for your Longmill? I'm getting ready for a new Longmill and wanted to plan a base stand for it. Any updates regarding the stand after using it for your projects?

Couldn’t you just permanently mount a known home location that you can just edge find to regain an accurate x&y location again. For the z you just have to know what the difference in height is between your work originally was.
@IDCWoodcraft Жыл бұрын
Jordan, you could but I wouldn't recommend it. I recommend resetting your zeros with each project otherwise you may not have the same accuracy for your projects.

I temporarily set up a vacuum system trying to come up with the best setup for the hoses. I took it all off for now. The routers internal fan does a pretty good job of keeping the dust and chips out of the work area. For now, I want to see what the machine is doing while it is working.

Great video. I have a couple of comments and I'm probably going to edit this to add more and it would be great to hear your input if you have time. Just got done with a project. gSender was done so I sent the router back to x0 y0. To my surprise it was a good 1/4" off so I had to break out that aluminum block again and of course the second cut was noooot quite the same but good enough (my x&y did not skew either)??? My project did not move! Also, how do you zero the x & y with such an odd shape bit using the aluminum block OR did you use the paper method? I doubt I will buy the longmill thingy for odd shaped bits. That costs too much for my budget. And most importantly, How do you enter an odd shaped bit into the database? Right now I am using carbide create but I imaging it is similar process in your program.
