yes, climb milling is essentially the default cutting direction for this reason on cncs. the chips are sent backwards away from the feed direction and work piece allowing for the chips to not interrupt the cut allowing a smoother surface finish
I have noticed substantial noise changed at 14:00 when the is moving from 6 o'clock to 4. This is probably flexing of the Z axis assembly it get stretched while the moving on Y axis . It could be back plate flexing or bolts stretching
Hello, Make this machine enclosed so that aluminum can be milled with coolant and also it will make it more like bigger machines, they all have a cover and helps for collecting dust and coolant. Also make it from acrylic, it looks cool. Thanks for reading and thanks for considering if you do consider.😋
Thanks. I put a business card between the top of the workpiece and the end mill. I lower the Z axis while moving the card back and forwards until it gets stuck. Then I set the z axis value to the card thickness.
Hallo. Mijn vader en ik zijn van plan om te beginnen met CNC'en en zijn dus opzoek naar een leuk niet te groot instap model (3040??). Wij willen voornamelijk dun aluminium gaan bewerken. Ons budget is 700 euro. Heb je misschien een tip voor ons wat we moeten kopen? Alvast bedankt.
hello my friend i am big fan of you 💐 i love cnc router because from you can you give me your opinion i want to order cnc router for aluminum parts and for brass can you give me link for best seller for it thank you so much 😊
@@SuperBooster007 if you are talking about the leadscrew to stepper; then mine are 8mm shaft. Do not get the cheap aluminum springy ones. They break. Get lovejoy couplers.
Forgot to comment...i I don't think it was the controller to blame for the missing steps. To me it looks like the the smaller diameter tool would be better for the finishing operation. With this one you have too much cutter engagement what resulted in chatter and that vibration was probably source for the missing steps. And that alu curling at the end .....you could try less WOC to solve that.
Thanks :) It came from this set i think. bit.ly/3am82LS do I recommend it? If you know what you're doing i say go for it. You don't want to crash this one at full speed thats for sure.
Hello! Thanks for your Videos about the Chinese CNC. I really like watching the and got some benefit from myself out of them. I have a simiar, but smaller type 3040 "CNCEST". I played around with it already a little bit and noticed pretty quickly some fairly negative points about it. - The noise is extreme, I guess the machine part is mainly responsible for that due to the vibrations, as well as the flimsy thin sheetmetal cover parts - The Z Axis makes as clearly visible rotational movement backwards during "drilling" movements (play in the linear guides, rigidity overall) - Also the 3040 has unsupported round-rails also on the Y axis which has the biggest forces and moments to handle. So I deciced to give the machine a pretty big workover: - replace all unsupported rails on all axes - heavy duty "rectangular" guides on the Y axis, supported roundrails on X and Z - aluminium plates holing the rails and re-inforcing the whole frame - additional plate increasing the bearing-distance on the Y axis guides I could send you some pictures, would like to know your thoughts about it, let me know how I can contact you ;) What do you think about the guides on your machine? are the play-free and good to go right out of the box? As I see it, the bearing distance on you Y axis is too very short, causing the carriges to be really heavily loaded! Thank you!!
love the 6040 videos! which aluminium you choose is also important when it comes to obtain Good surface finish. I have tried 6061, 6082 and 7075 aluminium on my 6040 router. 6082 and 7075 gives of a much better finish in my opinion. I have no experience in 2011 aluminium, but it looks Nice. In your old video Making the bottle openers i Think it looks like you were cutting 6061? But supergod job and Thx for taking the time to make videos like this. Really enjoy them. I watched your old videos many times before I bought my 6040. :)
Huh, I don't think I'd thread a hole in the gear, install a socket on the end and chuck it up in a lathe just to get the bottom portion out-wow! Can't you just use a larger piece of material, get it close to the bottom and use a punch to tap it out?
Hi, friend!!! This cnc machine can make fine jewelry style engravings. for bicycle parts, how to put a logo on a bicycle crank? A greeting and thanks in advance ; )
Few comments about cutting - why you are using conventional milling instead of climb milling ( especially with 1 flute end mills ) ? Conventional milling is an easier cut, but it increases "chip underfeed" that will give you a poor finish. As I can see - you are using quite long flute length , but using only bottom of the cutter . You are paying for that flute length - but not using it . Much better go deeper but with less stopover ( but not less that chip thinning minimum ) till you end`s with machine ( or end mill ) limits . Also go faster with ALU - don`t stuck on one place as you are generate hot place and material can go like a gum . Good chip load remove heat from cutting place with chip itself - so less chance get gum .
The machine can be run on much faster speeds, but you need to realign everything don't use it just as it come from the factory. I achived +40% speed when aligned everything.

I would HIGHLY recommend taking the wood sub plate off and bolting that vise directly to your steel plate. Your finishes will be night and day.
Saludos amigo . Felicidades . Hermano quiero comprar un cnc . Me recomiendas esta ? .
have you tried climb cutting this type of part? Climb cuts usually have less chatter / better finish
May I ask if climb milling would result in a better surface finish than conventional milling?
yes, climb milling is essentially the default cutting direction for this reason on cncs. the chips are sent backwards away from the feed direction and work piece allowing for the chips to not interrupt the cut allowing a smoother surface finish
good morning which tool and the yellow one you use to smooth the face thank you
Hola saludo desde Guatemala puedes dar información sobre cnc 6040v4 axis
I have noticed substantial noise changed at 14:00 when the is moving from 6 o'clock to 4. This is probably flexing of the Z axis assembly it get stretched while the moving on Y axis . It could be back plate flexing or bolts stretching
shear force availability without outside forces could make it cleaner without comprise. Great work!!
What is the spindle power rating, and the feed rate and axial n radial depth of cut
Hello,

Cool idea
Cool video! How do you get the Z axis homed when you have taken material off the top and change tools?
Thanks. I put a business card between the top of the workpiece and the end mill. I lower the Z axis while moving the card back and forwards until it gets stuck. Then I set the z axis value to the card thickness.
Great video. By faster you mean faster spindle speed, faster feedrates or both?
Both

I'm about to order my 6040 CNC frame any tips or tricks or things to look out for? (just getting frame will do electronics properly)
make sure you buy a solid frame and not a hollow one.
@@MBcreates Sorry for all the questions but do you know what size couplings are required for this machine? love the videos.

Looks to me like a very small overlap, Maybe a larger overlap would give better results on the pocket operations ?

Amazing! Do you recommend this yellow tool to milling the surface? what is the model?

Can anyone answer if he is using the 1.5kw or the 2.2kw spindle? I have looked into buying this model and there are a number of spindle options.
1.5

Hi, can I ask what lathe do you use?
Hey MBcreates, as a maker from Belgium. I was wondering where you order your 6061 from
www.aluminiumopmaat.nl/aluminium-staf.html
the cutter radius must be smaller than the smallest inner radius you want to mill

Why only one parallel?... and it wood be nice to know feeds and speeds info...like you have done before.
I doubt the piece of steel underneath is a proper parallel. Probably just something he had left over.
The machine can be run on much faster speeds, but you need to realign everything don't use it just as it come from the factory. I achived +40% speed when aligned everything.
Interesting.
How did you go about doing that?
nice vid. i have the cncest 3040.
use the plan function in fusion 360 to plan
use petroleum or alcohol when milling aluminum. WD40 is not suitable for this.
Test our mills for aluminum. Get in contact with us.
I'm looking for some tools to cnc aluminum. Small machine, only a 2.2kw spindle

AAww fuck this is painful to watch, your machine is not rigid enough to machine alu, upgrade that spindle pls :)
