My home-made CNC router milling some aluminium


Here my home-made CNC router is milling a scale RC helicopter tail rotor hub from a piece of 6082-T6 aluminium. You can see me spraying spirit on the work piece occasionally for cooling. This works great for aluminium.

For more than 23 years, the experts at Techno have led the industry in the design and manufacture of CNC routers; routers known for their performance, durability, and ease-of-use. Techno CNC routers allow customers to cut with greater accuracy, faster production speed, and expand their business into new markets by cutting parts they could not cut by hand. Techno continues to set industry standards.

“The accuracy is incredible on these machines,†said Techno CNC customer Tom Farmer, owner and CEO of Hilton, N.Y.-based Upstate CNC Service Inc. “If you want to do something the old way with a Jigsaw you can hope that you get a straight line or an accurate curve. But the Techno CNC machines are computer perfect. I can make 1,000 parts exactly the same. You couldn’t do that with a hand tool.”

The Pro-series CNC Router is designed to meet the demanding production needs of panel processing shops. This machine model is engineered for optimal performance and product throughput in sheet goods such as plastic, wood, and similar materials. The LC Series, Techno’s most popular model, is ideal for small to mid-size production shops. It’s an excellent entry-level machine that allows the user to start with a CNC Router featuring many advancements typically found in more expensive machines. In addition the LC Series has two Table top models available for small part processing.

The Patriot CNC is ideal for prototyping, model making, jewelry manufacturing, or schools for teaching CAD/CAM technology to students. The Patriot is fully enclosed and can be equipped with many accessories such as a reverse engineering digitizer an automatic tool changer, and 4-axis for intricate carvings.

“I’ve always been impressed by the quality of their American-made machines,” said Bob Barnes, another Techno CNC customer. “I’ve purchased seven machines from them over the years and that says it all!”

CNC router cutting MDF?

I need to find a way of cutting a sheet of MDF which the dimensions 2500mm x 1250mm x 30mm, into strips 12mm wide.

The cut surfaces must be totally free from tool marks and the strips of MDF must be cut completely straight with 90 degree edges. I’ve obviously considered using a cicular saw but that would leave some saw marks on the material (importantly, it would not be possible to sand the MDF after cutting).

Is it possible to do this with a cnc router/engraving machine? Obviously I would lose a fair amount of material due to the cutting width of the router bit, but as the MDF is quite cheap I don’t mind this.

CNC Router – Need help with bits, feed speeds, etc.?

I have a newly built CNC router. Its built off of the HobbyCNC plans. It has a HobbyCNC controler (3 axis) with 305oz motors. The ‘router’ is a trim router that takes 1/4″ bits.

I’m looking for help with some guidelines regarding selecing the right bit, plunge rate and feed speed. I’m cutting some 1/2″ maple, but also want to cut and engrave acrylic.

Is there someplace that gives this type of info?
