I thought it might be a good idea to have a beginner thread that new folks can reference for the most asked questions that are either not covered by anything OneFinity puts out or they are covered but they are in multiple places or people aren’t seeing them. I put a few tips below. If you think th…

Hey Tom, [image] TMToronto: Do I detect a bit of schadenfreude :smiley: We’re not at the kindergarten. It’s all just Gemütlichkeit :slight_smile:

So having joined the discussion, I thought I would add how valuable it has been to my learning, to experience information in many different ways - as a teacher, my students taught me that daily, but as a learner I am no different. To that end, may I suggest that any definitions provided in the docu…

Not a bad idea, but that can get out of hand fast just with the plethora of internet information available. My initial interpretation and intention was to create a one stop shop for n00bs to get exposure to terminology so when someone says your gantry is twisted and your carriage is leaning forward…

I understand. Perhaps then, you could leverage the many ‘CNC terminology’ glossary lists that already exist, and modify/add to them slightly so they better help owners of the original and the Elite series.

I said Early I’m not one who knows onefinity exclusive terminology and that’s where I’m not a SME , i still have my shapeoko 3 and am waiting for my elite…

Hey all, this one explains it well (in imperial units): Chip Load: Guide for Beginners I already posted these links above: [image] 349iq2345: Chip load (explained under Feed rate) Article explaining chip load

I just know where i come from in the land of carbide 3d, they posted a lower limit chipload of .001-.02 and i was looking to see if there was a similar range in 1f land Shapeoko chiploads guideline For the minimum chipload value to avoid rubbing, there is a large consensus in the CNC community th…

I saw that article, but i was inquiring on upper limits of 1f

Hey Chris, [image] ChrisS: but i was inquiring on upper limits of 1f Onefinity makes nearly no statements about the capabilities of their machine in the meaning of providing numbers. In any case I would assume that on a machine that uses a .75 kW hand trim router as milling motor (which sin…
