My CNC has done random cuts and on the advise of One Inifinity I completely separated the router and vacuuming from the CNC. The CNC is on a completely separate 20 amp circuit from the router and vacuum. The circuits are on separate sides of the garage. I been trying to make some trays from purcha…

How do I find the CNC controller model? And how to find the post processor? Work flow I have been using ? I have used a few files I bought from ETSY. I have used them several times with no problems. On the one that really confused me, I selected a VCarve tool path calculated it and than a profile to…

Hey Frank, yes this does help. You are using the buildbotics -derived Onefinity CNC Controller on the Original or the PRO Series. Firmware Version 1.0.9 is known to be a stable version. The problem with EMI can affect all models of all series, since they all have non-shielded cables and the assembl…

I have a different machine and controller, but for workflow I mean things like… Software: define setup in CAM (I use Fusion), things like where will my WCS origin be (I always use top/front/left of stock), what WCS offset (I always use G56 for my simpler machining jobs), what PP - post processor…

I lot to read and understand. I ordered Ferrite rings and will install the on all stepper motors. I ordered 16 gauge copper wire and will ground all of the frames to the ground at my plug. I am using VCarve version 12. I have a friend that has a custom door shop and has a commercial CNC ti make arch…

So if I put Ferrite Rings on the three stepper motors and add ground wires to all of the frames plus have the router and my shop vacuum of separate circuit will that fix the issue? If this CNC is so sensitive to EMI why does it not come grounded and Ferrite Rings on all the wires? Before I do the c…

Hey Frank, [image] Franktr: So if I put Ferrite Rings on the three stepper motors and add ground wires to all of the frames plus have the router and my shop vacuum of separate circuit will that fix the issue? EMI can have so many causes. It is both emitted and received. The most important th…

Thanks again. I am using a router and it has a EMI collet

I don’t think it’s your CAM file, it should cut 1/8 depth easily. I had similar problems on my 1F X50 Journeyman. I have the original Z-16 slider and I’ve found that if you lower the Z max rate and acceleration it will help to prevent step losses when the bit plunges. Also, setting the bit plunge…
