Need help - burning bits and end grain

[Digitalwoodshop]

Giving us FEED RATE CONTROL and MOTOR SPEED CONTROL would make this machine into more of a Industrial Machine. It would shed the label of HOBBY MACHINE.... Saw on another Forum the machine was the Easy Bake Oven of CNC Machines..... Remember the 100 watt bulb ovens of the 60's for girls. I disagree but everyone is entitled to a opinion...

I'd even be ok if they insist on keeping the machine "dummied down", to just give us different "material" selections when we choose the board dimension... oak, pine, acrylic, walnut, ect.. and have the machine adjust all it's rates based on that. Would still be "easy to use" but would give us at least a little control over feedrates.

I do not agree!
The Feed rate, is a common sense item. Most of us know that we can not plow through hardwood, with a router or saw, at the same rate we do the softer woods. It only makes sense the slow down our feed so we do not have major problems (burning, unwanted movement, jams, etc). We're not asking for faster feed. We just want to be able to reduce the feed rate on harder stock.

No Al, I had trucks! Plus I am not that old!!( the Ike/Al bantering continues!!) Besides Al the machine has passed the hobby machine. http://store.carvewright.com/configuretemplate.htm

Hmm lets see when I cut oak the motor speed changes or gives me a cut motor error and corrects the speed of the material it is cutting. As forth to the feed rate we all know what will happen if we had control.....

Post.....

What happened my motor stopped working or the cut did not cut the depth set. Or burnt edges, feed rollers broke, better yet the PLASTIC gears in the feed table has broke teeth!

Yep Al I agree with you!

So how did AL know so much about the Easy Bake Oven?...... Didn't have one Ike..... "DADT"ell...... I know what your thinking.... My Cousin was upset at the oven not heating and ME fixing it by changing the bulb.... That is how I remember them.... I was her HERO..... Yes, I staterd fixing stuff very young....

LOL I remember them Al!! I am a product of 1963! ( you old fart!) Yes Al like my Dad always told if he can't fix it isn't broke!

I would say we have a little machine feed rate with "cut control" and "vector" cuts based on bias of the curve. For raster setting High vs low will slow the CW down. i will take a guess other desktop motors are running flat out at max hp.

When i start burning a bit its dull and has a little pitch/dirt replacing bits or sharpening could be the thing to try.

[Old Salt]

would like to see a choice if you select hicory over pine the speed would be set the right speed for each.
think it could be done but would take some testing, maybe in the future ?

Thanks for the replys.

Sounds like I need to try the plunge bit you use. The price is much better than the $35 for a solid carbide endmill. The endmill is a downcut just like the 1/8" bit that I got from CW-parts, the Rock Chuck guy. I wish there was control for RPM and feedrate. That way it could be optimized for the type of bit and material.

For the record, all of the bits I sell are upcut. In other words, the bits auger the chips upward as they cut. I do not recommend a downcut tool in this machine.

Happy Carving,

Ron

Ron,

My deepest apologies. I was wrong, the bit you sent and the 3/8 endmill I was using are both upcut bits.

I love getting old, I get the thrill of learning new things everyday (regardless of the fact that it is the same new thing, it's still a thrill).
