25:17 Pros and Cons
Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I will be testing the Genmitsu 4040 Pro CNC router. In addition to the stock setup with a standard 75W spindle, I will be experimenting with two spindle upgrades. The first upgrade is a 300W spindle that can be directly dropped into this machine, and the second is a powerful wood router like the Makita RT0701, which has a horsepower of 1 ¼ or 800W. I'm so excited to see the cutting power and how well these upgrades work with this machine.
Let me give you an overview of the machine's features. The working area is 400x400mm, and the Z-height is 84mm, allowing for thicker materials. The machine frame is made of aluminum, and the X and Y axis use dual 16mm steel rods, making them super rigid. The Z-axis uses 10mm rods, and the frame has panels to protect the lead screws from debris. It uses standard Nema 17 stepper motors, and all of them have a jog wheel for manual axis movement. The machine comes with a 2-piece MDF spoilboard with M6 threads all over for clamp mounting. It also includes a Z-probe for stock and tool height adjustment. The frame can be mounted on a workbench to ensure stability. The control board supports an offline controller and 4-axis roller, but these are optional upgrades that need to be purchased separately. Overall, for the price of around $500, the hardware looks impressive. I would like to thank Genmitsu for sending me this machine to review, and with that, let's get started.

The Makira router will have much better results if mouted proprely. In your review, at 16:43 you can see that you allow it to create a lever effect (forcing the Z axis and X axis). If you clamp the makita router from the lower part (as intended) the flexing of the machine will be much lower. Ps: use shorter tools, as much as possible.

@gremlinsports Жыл бұрын

Most of the problems are caused by rigidity. The router should be mounted close to the bottom. By mounting it closer to the top you are increasing the amount chatter due to the leverage. As a general rule endmills stick out should be kept as short as possible. You should be able to get much better results from the same router

As being a CNC Machinist and it's what I do for a living. I'd like to point out that and let you know that at times your doing climbing milling instead of traditional milling at times when one or the other should be used. On machines that not as rigid as say a v5 0r v2 that huge. You could look at just doing traditional milling only when doing pockets with a .010 or .005 wall offset and floor offset. And then do a finish pass on the inside of the pocket to finale demotions and have a good surface finish. On your slots try doing only traditional milling in one direction and your bit wont jump around and might allow for deeper nicer cuts. Just trying to help, love your videos thanks! If I can be of any help, please feel free to reach out to me.

@brikfilm 5 ай бұрын

Hello, why is it better to use conventional as opppsed to climb milling? My naive intuition is that for a machine of questionable rigidity, you'd be much better off with climb milling so that you could come back and do finishing passes. I'm pretty new to this and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

@Cenedd 5 ай бұрын

@@brikfilm When you climb mill, the cutter can pull the router along as the teeth bite in. If the machine isn't rigid enough to resist that alone can cause problems. Climb milling also means that the cutter can be pulled deeper into the cut. At best this results in an over-sized slot/pocket. At worst it can result in fragments of carbide flying towards you - carbide is very hard but brittle and doesn't like being bent. Conventional milling does the opposite of these which is safer - if it's undersized, you just have to run a spring pass (same dimensions but run again so if the endmill was bending away from the work, it can cut to dimension after it springs back)

As a machinist, one rule of thumb for end milling steel was to not have over 4 diameters of the end mill extended from the collet or the risk of chatter would increase. Certain circumstances it could be successfully extended further. Other softer materials such as aluminum and wood give a lot more flexibility but when encountering chatter I always started with the work holder rigidity and how much tool I had unsupported. A 30,000 pound machining center had to follow the same rules.

With the smaller spindles most of your issues were coming from the long length of tool compared to its diameter, you could see it in several clips juddering to the side a reduced length of mill would make a big difference, With the Makita it needs to be clamped lower on the router to reduce flex, this might mean raising up the spoil boards but in all cases flex is bad, it looks to be a good machine for the price just not great for machining metals

@davidconaway2830 Жыл бұрын

This old man has learned a lot from you and your videos. I have just a few thoughts for you wrt the cnc machine. Open grained woods like oak and ash can be a challenge to get a nice surface. Walnut, maple, poplar and many other closed grained woods offer beautifully carved surfaces. Of course, climb vrs conventional cutting direction can make a difference relative to the wood grain in the piece. Secondly, I'm sure you've taken the appropriate safety precautions when testing the cnc and the various bits. That said, when a HSS or Carbide bit breaks, it can be quite a hazard to the soft areas the shrapnel may hit. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next video expertly narrated by you and edited by your brother. Just to add to other comments, mounting the spindle as low as possible and keeping the bit as short as possible in the collet will really help the overall rigidity of the setup. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next video expertly narrated by you and edited by your brother.

Thanks for the video! Liked the way you explained everything! I've got a few tips though... 😁 The clamping of the thin MDF and acrylic wasn't really good, it clearly wasn't supported/held down in the middle, that causes vibrating and will leave a rough finish.. Also, the length of the 1st end mill is way too long, it will vibrate like crazy!! I would trow away those ridicules ''clamps'' and make some better ones (or buy some), that will make the milling process a lot more stable and have a better finish all around!

a trick that would help you is if you put painter's tape on your spoilboard, on the back of your working material, and then spray adhesive on the tape and press them together. It would hold your media in place better while etching. will also help things like the acrylic bowing upward. Also, set fusion 360 to leave tabs around the edge to keep it from shifting on the final cut. Machine needs to be trammed as well.

Your videos are so great thank you so much I would say that when you are experimenting with slot cutting, you may want to widen your slot just a little bit so that you're not cutting both sides at the same time. This old Tony has a good video talking about the problem with trying to climb cut at the same time that your forward cutter whatever it's called, anyway it's a weird set of forces and my impression is that it's a better machining practice to just cut the one side at a time and less likely to create strange resonances with your bet disclaimer I'm a beginner and I might be wrong about this analysis

@seabeepirate Жыл бұрын

Great video! If you plot the results of your test with the feed rate, depth of cut, and spindle speed, you’ll find a sweet spot that corresponds to the chip load. There are calculators to handle the math but basically based on cutting data you can fine tune how much bite each flute takes per revolution. You’re onto it already with your test but you may be able to get the cutter data from the manufacturer or so I’m told… I bought cheap bits and had to do my own tests.

@tedreynolds4368 11 ай бұрын

An excellent source for chip load and other information needed for machining aluminum is the machinery handbook. The major problem that you experienced though was the rigidity of the machine. As others have mentioned, the best practice is to keep the mounting of the spindle and the bit as short as possible. One other issue is the clamping of the material. The clamps are being used backwards. They are meant to have the solid end on the workpiece and the screw on the other end should be adjusted to be slightly higher that the material thickness with the screw to tighten the clamp being as close to the workpiece as possible and closer the end of the clamp that is on the material than the other end. The way the clamps are shown in the video, the force is only on the edge of the material and not holding it down as much as it could if used properly. Overall the video was were well done and the clamps weren't an issue but the rigidity of the machine looks marginal.

Another “2¢” I think that the size of the Makita contributes as much as the added weight. The longer dimensions mean a longer lever torquing against the z axis. The weight has some benefits in CNC as long as the machine is rigid enough to support it.

If a person would upgrade to some sort of blower to keep the bit clean the aluminum cutting may be smoother as it tends to stick to the bits a lot being a soft material. Also with the Z axis pulling downward on the entire gantry every time it comes to a stop its going to cause that chatter that kept eating circles in your cuts of straight lines. The manufactuer should add 50.00 to the machine and beef up that gantry and this could be a superior machine in its price range.

Look at the cutting edges on the bottom and you will see they don't extend past the center. Hope this helps!

Great videos. For what it’s worth, I will say that you may fare better if you find a way to implement a coolant system or at least spray some cutting fluid what you’re milling. You could also probably get away with using a cutter that has a coating that’s designed to displace heat and aide in chip evacuation. In my humble opinion and experience, if you’re seeing more powder than “chips”, you’re going to run into problems caused by friction. The bigger the chips, the more you’re pulling away from the work piece before it has a chance to build up heat, which is always your enemy. Just my two cents, anyway. Great video nonetheless!
