If you’ve just
purchased a new or used CNC machine, you might be tempted to jump right in and
start milling. While it’s great to be excited about you’re the possibilities of
your CNC Machine, it’s important to take a step back and make sure you’re
ready.
Here are 5 tips for a successful CNC Machine
beginner:
No stainless-steel usage:
Stainless steel
and other difficult materials are best saved for when you’ve built up some
experience. We recommend starting out with brass or aluminium and building up
to mild steel. When you’ve mastered executing perfect cuts on these types of
metals you can feel confident tearing into some stainless steel.
Perfect setup required:
Some machines
come with flood coolant, but if you don’t have one now, make sure you have a
misting setup. Keeping an eye out for chip build up will preserve the life of
your cutters and avoid breakage.
Attention on cutters:
While you don’t
need the highest quality aerospace cutters on the market, you also don’t want
to settle for some low quality, generic, imported cutters. Simply knowing that
you have a decent cutter can rule out a major variable when it comes to determining
where you might be going wrong with your cuts.
Authentication required:
Work holding is
extremely important. If you don’t spring for a decent visa your work-piece will
likely shift without your knowledge, leaving you questioning what went wrong.
And remember, a good visa is useless without a clamping kit to hold it to your
table.
