The computer is the first thing that I would replace and replace it with one that is dedicated for that machine only no onlining or anything else so that it does not have any conflics, I dont even know why they would even bother selling a laptop to run a cnc? Then try cutting say .050 deep aluminum 3/8 cutter anywhere around 2 to 4000 rpm depending on the cutter at say feed of 8. inches a minute. that would be a good start for a good finish and dont think that it is a mazak so be patient cutting. Steel (slow your cuts down) That machine shoud do just fine I have seen them cut very nice now I have never seen the blue one? The E stop well that is not good??????? Hope things get better for you on that machine. |
