| + | ===== CNC Table Step by Step by Jake ===== | ||
| + | * turn on PC\\ | ||
| + | * turn on CNC\\ | ||
| + | * turn on dust collector\\ | ||
| + | * put material being cut onto table\\ | ||
| + | * turn on vacuum table a few minutes prior to making your cut. I've always tried to allow sometime for the table to flatten out. \\ | ||
| + | * download G-Code being cut\\ | ||
| + | * Open G-Code in text editor\\ | ||
| + | * verify G-Code has the spindle turn on command (it will always be within the first 20 lines of code)\\ | ||
| + | * modify G-Code z heights according to material thickness (test cuts are done in a single depth pass, verify depth on CNC log book)\\ | ||
| + | * Open Mach 3 on computer\\ | ||
| + | * disabled soft limits and move the machine on the z-axis\\ | ||
| + | * calibrate all machine coordinates\\ | ||

| + | * > Reference All = Machine Zero | ||
| + | * > Zero All = Job Zero | ||
| + | * re-enable soft limits\\ | ||
| + | * import g-code being cut\\ | ||
| + | * Open Mach 3 config and set safe as height to 70 (this is required ever time mach3 is opened with a file for the first time)\\ | ||
| + | * verify correct tooling is in the machine per the cut log book (common use tools are below the keyboard for the computer)\\ | ||
| + | * zero your job coordinates\\ | ||
| + | * set your machine spindle speed per cut log book\\ | ||
| + | * set your machine feed rate per cut log book\\ | ||
| + | * manually jog machine away from each work 0 point\\ | ||
| + | * press go to job zero button (this seems to prevent an issue with the machine loosing its job zero position)\\ | ||
| + | * set feed rate at 1%\\ | ||
| + | * initiate cut and watch spindle speed on the CNC's display, once the spindle is up to speed increase the feed rate to 100% (or ehat ever is required to reach the desired feed rate according to the CNC log book)\\ | ||
| + | * monitor CNC cut until cut is finished\\ | ||
| + | * type G28 command in console to home the machine\\ | ||
| + | * shut down all systems once all cutting is completed\\ | ||
