[Emc-users] Router speed

2012-09-21 Thread aaron moore
Hi EMC I have a router running emc. Feed speed is good on straightlines, however curves and circles are often slow and tend to burn the wood. Can anyone explain how I can improve this. Thanks in advance Aaron Re-Form Furniture Aaron Moore Conileigh Skinners Bottom Redruth Cornwall TR16

This is a good chapter on trajectory planning. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/common/User_Concepts.html and perhaps in addition to the above your acceleration might be too low if your doing lots of small segments. John On 9/21/2012 6:32 AM, aaron moore wrote: > Hi EMC > I have a router runnin

I also have a wood router. For me, I rarely if evver burn wood. When that happens either I am taking too large of a cut or my endmill is dull. Granted I am a hobby user and I am mostlly limited to 1/8 and 1/4 endmills and limiting DOC to the diameter of the endmill. I use the P64 with a small am

It can be both trajectory planning (especially if G-code is really heavy), and acceleration. High acceleration is a need to have fast curve speed, thus keeping high moving speed on difficult trajectory. Le 21.09.2012 13:32, aaron moore a écrit : > Hi EMC > I have a router running emc. Feed s

Check your trajectory control mode: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/common/User_Concepts.html#_trajectory_control_a_id_sec_trajectory_control_a I've seen CAM software put the machine in "exact path mode" (G61) or "exact stop mode" (G61.1), which will make it run way too slow on short move

Is it true that Px.x is the allowable distance from the exact tool path and followed by Q allows how far ahead along the tool path it can blend the move? No sure myself, some one told me this once. - Original Message - From: "Sebastian Kuzminsky" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (E

What Gcode software are you using? I upgraded vectric cut2d to vcarve pro for this very reason, because cut2d gives thousands of segments instead of curves. It typically cuts code size to about 1/3. On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 10:29 AM, Belli Button wrote: > Sorry, should have read the link first!
