11-16-2023 Q&A: Mastering the Fourth Axis, Spindle Lock Secrets, 3D View Perfection, Slot Wizardry, DIY Chuck Chronicles, and Isolating 3D Marvels!
Nov 16, 2023
This Q&A Meetup focused on mastering the fourth axis on a CNC, addressing issues like toolpath execution, spindle locking, and 3D view settings. Practical advice was offered on creating slots in a photo box, crafting a chuck for rotary work, and isolating sections for 3D toolpath application. Tailored for CNC enthusiasts eager to deepen their understanding of advanced machining techniques and software functionalities, the session provided essential tips for troubleshooting and project optimization.
Questions Answered in this Q&A:
- 00:01:34 - Trying to learn to use the fourth axis on a CNC. When he runs the toolpath, it cuts down the dowel without spinning the dowel, as if it were 2D. What is he doing wrong?
- 00:43:46 - How do I lock the spindle in the same position?
- 01:03:19 - Last week you showed us how to turn the colored shaded view back on. So the 3D view shows. Is there a way to lock it on?
- 01:04:22 - Help with slots on photo box.
- 01:17:10 - Did you make the chuck on your rotary on the CNC?
- 01:21:50 - Do I isolate this 3D model section and use 3D toolpath?
