Hey Stephane,
a CNC manufacturer cannot provide this. In my country you need to learn at least three years (Zerspanungstechnik) to learn which feed and speed and stepover and cutting direction to use in a specific bit / material / machine combination to use, and usually this is taught in different courses or even professions for metals and for wood.
Besides what the bit manufacturer should provide for every specific bit (often serious bit manufacturers do), on the other hand, there are countless cutting parameters tables available on the web, e.g. here.
Of course it would be nice if Onefinity provided some empiric data about rigidity and deflection in a few specific test situations, but it seems they donāt want to do that. I think their strategy is to provide a sturdy and rigid machine and to let the userbase confirm that it is rigid and sturdy, and do measurements if they like.
YES YES YESā¦ This is exactly what I would love to see come to the OneFinity. A Milling Motor fit for purpose! Most people I fear, shirk this off as just another Routerā¦ that is a misnomer.
Teamā¦ This is NOT a standard Router, the duty cycle on these is designed to run for days on end (just like a Spindle/VFD) with the exception you do not have to wire them, deal with coolant lines, mess with Airplane connections etc. etc.
They simply plug in and run, PLUS you can get them with a ATC built right in if desired. They are available in both 110v and 220v. An additional benefit is that since the mount also glides up and down the Z-Axis as a unit a Dust Boot is much easier to incorporate and manage. it would always be at the height of your bit to wood clearance.
Letās get some love around this! How about we get a few hundred likes on this, there is a ton more info that Aiph5u has provided in many other threads here. Even if we had to lose an in inch on the X-trave I would happily jump on this train (not sure that is even needed but if it were Iām still IN).
I would like for yaāll to offer a Onefinity branded & supported VFD & SPINDLE kit. I would love love love nothing more than to see this. Please make it happen. I donāt personally need one, but Iād really love to see it happen for everyone else.
I would like to be able to purchase the just the Foreman rails (no steppers or Z-slider) to upgrade my Woodworker to the 48"X48" I did the Masso upgrade myself in April.
Iād like to see an option for a different controller thatās better than the BB but not necessarily the masso touch, something in between with more features.
Although Iāve ordered an Elite upgrade kit so it wonāt benefit me, a solution for the BB controllers to be able to recover from power hits and to be able to do an extended (ie overnight) pause of large cuts. Iāve already been looking at solutions using raspberry piās as usb input devices etc.
Masso pendant for me ā¦ may seem trivial to some but I like the hand held control to jog the machine while not having to hang on to the main control board
I would like to see a bit setter for the older controller, The I/O for the limit switches could be used for the input into the controller since it not be used for the Axis.
As for me Iād like to see continued development of the BB controller. Granted, mine is working fine, I like the simple interface, and the joy stick . But, itās 3 years old now and is the one thing I get anxious about should it quite working for some reason. It would be a hit financially for me if I had to replace it but I would. To do the whole Masso conversion wouldnāt be in the budget so Iād have to stay with the BB.If that were the case Iād like to think Iād be getting an improved product , maybe some new features and more robust components. Since youāve added the Pro line of machines maybe you could add a mid tier āProā controllerā¦?
