What To Look For In Your Next Drill Press

By / October 3, 2023

  Drilling holes with your cordless drill might have worked fine on your latest small DIY project. But sooner or later, youā€™ll want to tackle a home improvement requiring holes at specific depths and distances, and youā€™ll realize that the hand-held power tool isnā€™t up for the task. Cordless drills have many uses, but precision

The 11 Best Free & Paid Laser Engraving Software To Download in 2023

By / November 18, 2022

[lwptoc min=”2″ depth=”6″ title=”Table of Contents”] The process of laser cutting sounds simple enough; you cut and engrave various materialsā€”metal, wood, plastic, acrylic, etc.ā€”using a focused beam of light. However, in reality, itā€™s much trickier than that and requires relatively sophisticated software to guide and control the beam. Vector files define all those lines, curves,

CNC Conversion Kits: Why And When They Are A Good Option

By / October 1, 2020

Machine tools, like most equipment in the modern age, have both improved and gotten a bit smaller over the years. Modern lathes and mills have come a long way from the giant, room-sized machines of the Industrial Revolution. While you can still find room-sized machines in large factories and high-end production facilities, youā€™re also more

A Brief Explanation of Electrical Discharge Machining

By / July 3, 2019

Electrical Discharge Machining is a high precision machining process that uses electricity to cut metals. In fact, the metal being cut is never touched by a tool at all. Instead, a high-frequency electrical discharge basically disintegrates the metal to make a cut. EDM involves molecular process that can be difficult to envision, so to help

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.
