Iggy,

It really seems your zeal for CNC has surpassed your level of manual craftsmanship. Why not slow
down a bit and stop trying to digitize your entire life??

What..and have him not learn what the sound of CRUNCH! SPOING!BANGRATTLE
is? Thats the sound of tooling shattering and bounching off the walls.

I already broke 2 endmills in about 3 weeks of machining with this
CNC.

So you're fuhmiller with bounching noises, I see. What diameter were
they and how did you break them? Did you learn from the noise?


Actually, this is an extremely non-violent machine, very user
friendly. Stuff just does not fly too far due to low RPM.

Once I broke an endmill because it gummed with aluminum and was
stuck.

Another time, the endmill was in the hole and I accidentally commanded
the table to move horizontally.

All things considered, knowing that I already used the mill quite a
bit and tried a few things, having just two end mills broken is not so
bad.
