Machining Aluminum

Essential Tips for Machining Aluminum Components

By / April 30, 2019

Common complaints among people new to machining Aluminum alloys include poor surface finish, gummy deposits on cut faces or tool edges, and a smeared appearance. All materials have different properties that require adjustments and care to achieve the optimal finishes. Aluminum is a soft and ductile metal that has high thermal conductivity. The former means

Printed Circuit Board

Use a CNC Mill to Create Your Own Printed Circuit Boards

By / March 18, 2019

Electrical engineers and technicians often use breadboards for prototyping and testing circuit designs. Breadboards are typically plastic plates with grids of spring-loaded receiving holes for inserting wires and components. While breadboards are great for quickly mocking up circuit layouts, they have several drawbacks. They are large, so they easily donā€™t fit into mechanical housings. They

Metal Engraving

Scribe vs. Script: The Difference Between Marking & Engraving Cutters

By / January 14, 2019

Itā€™s a bit misleading to say marking and engraving cutters are different, because marking cutters are a sub-class of engraving cutters. However, understanding the best applications for using marking cutters over other engravers is useful for efficiency, quality, and cost savings. Engravers are typically used to machine finishing details into the surface of a part,

Milling Coolant

Avoid the Sizzle: Tips to Mitigate Heat Buildup

By / December 19, 2018

It is the nature of machining to generate heat. The friction between tool and work piece and the acts of cleaving material with a tool and breaking molecular bonds are, in fact, exothermic processes. However, excessive heat generation can shorten tool life, degrade surface finish, cause workpiece and tool warping, and generate toxic smoke. Follow

Improve the Surface Finish of Your CNC Projects With These Tips

By / December 3, 2018

The finishing cut is the last step before a part reaches inspection, and after all the time and effort that goes into making a precision part, it is critical that this final step produces a quality surface finish. Incorporating a few key practices can help prevent the need to scrap parts in this last stage

CNC Cutting Tool

Get a Grip: Strategies to Reduce Tool Deflection

By / October 18, 2018

To produce parts with accuracy, precision and high-quality surface finish, it is important to minimize tool deflection. Tool deflection occurs when the force of cutting overcomes the stiffness of the tool, causing the tool to bend. The tool may not perceptibly bend during the operation, but the proof is in the final measurements. Parts made

Upgrade Your CNC Machine With a 4th Axis Rotary Table

By / September 4, 2018

When you first start creating your own CNC designs, a three-axis machine will typically offer enough control and flexibility to bring any of your designs to life. Eventually, however, you may find that you feel somewhat constrained by the limits of an X, Y and Z axis. Maybe youā€™re making a cylindrical component, for example,

Slide 1

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
