This way you 1) find the "zero" height (tip position), 2) after the work determine wear, find if the tool broke (abort job with other tools if it did, or pick replacement if available and redo) 3) determine if entered parameters are correct (errors in setting up the tool changer / wrong tool). Maybe even enter tool parameters into CAM software automatically, but that's more distant future. | |

| Sep 13, 2017 at 4:27 | comment | added | JohnDoe | Could you elaborate more about this low RPM usage of spindle? This is very interesting for me as I'm currently planning to make my own CNC milling machine. As for the stepper motor, most of them only rated for up to 2,000 RPM when I check the datasheet so I doubt they came with a bearing that can survive 30,000 RPM even if it's just a free rotation | |
