Dust shroud lifts up so that you can fit the tool holders tighter together on the rack?

@@NikitaLab Yes. Exactly.

@@NikitaLab Here's a video of one of my test runs kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLKPksmG1prNo40.html. It's been reliably working now for the past several weeks.

@@portlandscott Nice, yeah now that the coolant nozzle moves out of the way I've been toying with the idea of adding a dust shoe. To work with the ATC it would have to either raise itself up or swing forward like the nozzle does now.

@@NikitaLab Can't wait to see what you come up with. I've been impressed with your setup. Thanks for taking the time to create the vids. I've learned quite a bit from them.

separately, whatever fit my requirements on eBay, aliexpress, etc.

It looks a lot like a Jianken ATC to me

Now it's an absolute joy to use and I'm a bit burned out from modding it, the tool rack and macro were a lot of work. It's always fun to make the machine better but it's not so great when there's hours of work left before the machine is ready to cut again. I can't show what I'm usually machining but I have some personal projects lined up that I'm excited to share soon.

The programmable nozzle would be far more complicated to implement. Whereas this rotary actuator was just a single output addition to my M6 a programmable nozzle would probably involve modifying the post processor and learning much more about UCCNC. Ultimately I'm not trying to make the machine more "advanced" but just safer to use, I had a few butt-clenching moments with my nozzle position during a tool change and this was easy solution.

@@NikitaLab Fair enough! Excellent job and thanks for the reply.

@@NikitaLab love the atc....the tool setter prolly is the safest in your stich...great build my freind

Make sure you’re using the ER wrench for a couple rotations, my collets always snap free of the tool.

ah cool, just tried it, just open it briefly, then close it slightly and open it again, then it snaps out

That's what the fixed probe is for yeah

@@NikitaLab I wasn't clear with my question. I understand about the tool length, but what about the cooling tube position for different tool lengths?

@@olegtsvinev2666 Ah no it's not smart like that, still like it was before I have to adjust it for the cut it just moves out of the way.

@@NikitaLab Still pretty cool and useful feature!

english wtf

That's the plan, I'm in the process of adding boolean values so you can enable/disable features in the macro like the pneumatic tool rack, various sensor inputs, this new air assist actuator, etc. I'll probably release it alongside a video of me going over it and explaining. Btw nice screenset

@@NikitaLab Thank you for your reply. Looking forward to seeing the new video :) Drop me a PM on UCCNC forum if you are there, I would share the screen set with you if interested :)

SMC MSQB10 is what I used, there seems to be a decent supply of them on ebay for $40

Jianken JGL-80/1.5r24-20 is the spindle model and it’s ISO20.

You need a totally different spindle, called an ATC (automatic tool changer) spindle. It needs air lines to clamp / unclamp it, you can hear it hissing. They are a lot more expensive than the random chineese ER20 collet type ones though.

lol sorry didn't think people are still interested; haven't touched the router in 2 years unfortunately
