Go to Post Seriously! I expect to follow what I understand to be the intent of (allow teams more time to work with their control systems) and just look out for anyone trying to bring in greater than half a robot. Or a kitchen sink. - petek [more]

Re: Fabricating Aluminum Sprockets

And of course you'll want your feedrates to be as fast and possible while still making a clean burn, but perhaps the machine/software has something in there to figure that out for you. If not, a little trial and error is all it takes. I recommend you check out www.cnczone.com if you haven't already.

One of the fantastic things that our mentor from Microsoft Research, Mike, does is to determine feedrates and the like in advance for the most common materials. The lab we use is shared by a lot of people at MSR, not all of whom are versed in machine shop operation, so by providing as much information to them (and us) as possible, Mike really goes a long way toward making sure everything runs as efficiently and as safely as possible.

I'm reading CNCZone.com now. The more we can learn before the machine is up and running, the better we'll be. We have a lot of work we want to do.
