I've been surfacing a casting that is larger than my machine envelope. Not only that although pattern was 5/8" thick MDF the casting ended up with thicker and thinner parts. With it shimmed and moving clamps around I managed to flatten the bottom and then clamp it down and surface the top. But it took a long time.
I found LinuxCNC easy enough to use for this. Just kept resetting x or y home and restarting the G_code. Anyone used one of these? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000890081459.html Or with the round carbide inserts https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32952847637.html Alternatively since I use the Tormach Tooling at a much higher price there is this flycutter. https://tormach.com/tts-superfly-cutter-kit-33031.html John _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
