Time for a short update again with some pictures.
I've used the machine a bit lately making usefull stuff at home. I have some customer projects incomming but doing series production is a PITA without a bandsaw so I'm holing back until that arrives First up is a passive cooling block for my 18650 spot welder. Next is a blind holder. The machine is performing great now
I installed a Renishaw TS20 probe on the machine and it's been so great. I tested to probe the same tool 5 times and it repeats down to within +/- 0.00015mm. It's designed for a lathe so I don't have the proper stylus for measuring tools yet. Have to figure out how to install the same gear as a TS27R probe has or just get a TS27R. If I where to install this permanently I need to have a conduit kit (steel braided tubing over the cable) but I can't figure out what kind of kit I need..
Some filter maintenance. I installed this because I saw NYC CNC recommended it in a video. It sure looks like it's working avoiding regrinding of chips that comes with coolant.
Filters on cooling fans for VFD and braking resistor was worse than I thought. I didn't have the proper filter material so I just soaked them in soap and let them dry overnight. It can't get any worse than it was ^^
Yesterday I got a little helper in the cnc room She was helping out on some probing macros on the whiteboard
Updated picture of my desk at the machine. Still lacking a lot but it's getting there At least I can spot the desk after I cleaned up some the other day Back to machining now
