<hr />
<div>An overview of the waiting lists for our [[introductions]] that take more time than the [[tutors]] can usually invest spontaneously.<br />
<br />
''If you want to "wait" for a vehicle spot, see [[Vehicle Workspaces|vehicle workspaces]].''<br />
<br />
<big>'''How to Use'''</big><br><br />
Please '''link''' your [[Special:MyPage|user page]] at the bottom of each list you're interested in after you've filled it with enough information to contact you and/or activated "Allow other users to email me" in your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]!<br />
<br />
If a list is full enough and/or you have been waiting for a while, please reach out to the tool's tutors and kindly ask for a date - maybe they've just been too busy, but it could also be that they missed the list filling up and would appreciate the reminder. <br />

<br />
This is the content required for an introduction to our [[Introduction for::CNC Mill|CNC Mill]] - '''reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a [[tutor]]!''' It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)<br />
<br />
If you need this introduction, please reach out to the following tutors: ADD<br />
<br />
Before you get this introduction, please make sure you already have the [[Handheld Router Introduction]], this will help you understand the machine much better and is required before using it. To gain first experience in CNC, it is recommended that you start with the [[CNC Router Introduction|Handheld Router Introduction]] and gain first experience on the Workbee CNC. <br />
== Safety ==<br />
[[PPE|Personal protection]]: [[File:Protection - goggles.svg|50px]] [[File:Protection - hearing.svg|50px]]<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! Dangers !! Precautions<br />
|-<br />
| sharp, fast spinning bits ([[End Mills|end mills]] or - rarely - certain [[Router Bits|router bits]]) ||<br />
* You MUST stay clear of the CNC Mill when in operation<br />
* You MUST unplug the Spindle when changing a bit or touching the chuck for any other reason<br />
* You MUST insert your mill as far as you can afford for maximum strength<br />
|-<br />
| strong forces acting on the workpiece that might make it move ||<br />
* You MUST secure your workpiece properly - see [[CNC Router Workholding|CNC router workholding]]<br />
|-<br />
| [[File:Danger_-_hand injury.svg|left|50px]] the machine has no live sensors and will execute its code regardless of what gets into its way <br />
* heat generated during improper use can even [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tpxgZUYGSI set the machine on fire] [[File:danger - fire.svg|50px]]<br />
||<br />
* You MUST reference the machine to the workpiece (relative maximum/starting positions) before starting the router<br />
* You MUST monitor the CNC router closely when in operation<br />
* You MUST keep an eye on the cables that come from above - are they securely out of the machine's paths?<br />
*You MUST let end mills cool down before handling (risk of burning yourself)<br />
|-<br />
| hitting "pause" or "stop" in a control program will still let at least the current line be executed ||<br />
* You MUST push the emergency shutdown button if '''anything''' goes wrong<br />
|-<br />
| lots of dust that could harm your health or settle down on machine parts, possibly hindering movements ||<br />
* When milling wood or plastics, you SHOULD use the dust shoe and connect a shop vac.<br />
* When milling metal, you MUST NOT extract the metal chips with a vacuum.<br />
* You SHOULD position the wooden or acrylic U-shaped box over the work area to reduce the risk of flying chips towards the user and to protect the rails.<br />
|-<br />
|When milling metal, hot chips can fly towards user<br />
|<br />
* You SHOULD Always place the U-shaped guardrail over the table. <br />
* Even with the rail, chips can fly towards you. You MUST stay clear and you MUST wear eye protection.<br />

=== Workflow ===<br />
'''This is just an overview and does NOT replace the [[CNC Mill Introduction|personal introduction]]!'''<br />
<br />
# Create the tool paths in a suitable CAM software (e.g. [[Fusion 360]])<br />
# Post and export the correct [[G-code]] flavor as described below in Fusion 360 Setup<br />
# Home the machine to zero the machine coordinates<br />
# Secure your workpiece on the machine's bed using clamps or a vice screwed to the t-nut table. If you plan on cutting through the workpiece use a spoil board or machine vise<br />
#Insert the appropriate collet & bit as defined in your tool paths<br />
#Set your workpiece zero<br />
#Put on [[PPE|personal protection]] and turn the spindle on<br />
#Start your job from the USB stick. Always test new code "in the air" before cutting.<br />
<br />
===Fusion 360 Setup===<br />
# In a new set-up, import the [https://github.com/comakingspace/CommonFiles/blob/master/CNCFiles/KressCNC_machineconfig.machine machine file] from Github<br />
# Edit the machine settings. Under "post processor", import the [https://github.com/comakingspace/CommonFiles/blob/master/CNCFiles/mach3mill_kress.cps post file]. Make sure to save the post under "local".<br />
The SMC5-N-N-5 processor uses the "mach3" post processor. The one included in [[Fusion 360]] is reported to sometimes cause erratic behavior with this controller. The prepared post on Github is modified to avoid this (add link).<br />
<br />
=== Machine Control===<br />
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine box and the jog-wheel (SMC5-5-N-N).<br />
<br />
[[File:0 MainSwitch.jpg|thumb|left|The main switch turns on the power for the CNC, the spindle, light and the controller.]]<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Homing the machine:''' This CNC has no auto-home. '''Always run the homing operation as first step directly after startup!'''<br />
<br />
[[File:1 Homing.jpg|thumb|left|Start by homing the machine. If the text „Reset“ blinks red on the screen, press the reset button (1). Press the “Origin Operation“ button (2). In the menu, select „Return To Home“ (3).]]<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Navigation basics:'''<br />
<br />
On the panel, use the XYZ +/- buttons to move the spindle. Always home the spindle at the beginning of your session. If properly homed, softstop settings should prevent the spindle from crashing into the sides of the machine, but navigate with caution. (add info how to change the distance per button press on the panel)<br />
<br />
When using the jogwheel, press the button on the left side and then move the wheel. The X1, X10, X100 switch controls how far the spindle moves per click of the wheel. If set to X1, one click is 1/100mm. X10 is 1/10th and at X100 one click moves 1mm. <br />
<br />
'''Zeroing the machine coordinate''' on the workpiece origin: <br />
<gallery><br />
File:2 CoordinateSystem.jpg|The coordinate system. Note that the machine zero point is in the top left front corner of the machine and the spindle moves down into the negative Z direction. <br />
File:3 SetToolheight.jpg|Carefully move down the tooltip onto the reference plane of your workpiece (usually the surface). Wiggle a piece of paper in between the tooltip and the workpiece and move the head down in 0.1mm or smaller increments until you start to feel the resistance and scratching.<br />
File:4 zeroZ.jpg|Press the „Coordinate Operation" button (1). Press „Z Auto Zero" to set zero of the work coordinate for Z in the current position.<br />
File:5 WorkpieceZeroXY.jpg|Move the tooltip to the X and Y position that you have set up as your origin in the CAM software.<br />
File:6 zeroXY.jpg|Zero the work coordinates for X and Y by pressing „X Axis Zero" and „Y Axis Zero" (1,2). You have now fully set-up the zero point of the work coordinates to be in line with the origin of your workpiece in CAM.<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
<br />
To '''load your program''', insert USB key with gcode<br />
<br />
In the control-panel, select "File-Open" > USB > *.tap file > Open<br />
<br />
Make sure the Machine Zero is set-correctly and compare it one more time to your fusion settings. <br />
<br />
'''''Are you sure, that the height is correct and you are not cutting into the work table? Are you really sure? Good.'''''<br />
<br />
Dust & chip protection: If you are milling metal, position the U-shaped protection box over the work table. If it is wood, also hook up the dust shoe and a vacuum cleaner!<br />
<br />
Move your Z Axis up to clearance and start the spindle. Manually adjust the speed.<br />
<br />
RUN > Restart starts the program<br />
<br />
'''Stop and Emergency Stop''': In case of any issues don't hesitate to hit the big emergency stop (cuts all electricity to spindle and stepper motors) or for smaller issues the stop on the jog-wheel (stops the program, moves to home after reset). <br />
<br />
After finished, shut down the spindle and wait until it came to a full stop. Be careful: Endmill will be very hot!<br />
<br />

#Put on [[PPE|personal protection]] and turn the spindle on<br />
#Start your job from the USB stick. Always test new code "in the air" before cutting.<br />
<br />
===Fusion 360 Setup===<br />
# In a new set-up, import the [https://github.com/comakingspace/CommonFiles/blob/master/CNCFiles/KressCNC_machineconfig.machine machine file] from Github<br />
# Edit the machine settings. Under "post processor", import the [https://github.com/comakingspace/CommonFiles/blob/master/CNCFiles/mach3mill_kress.cps post file]. Make sure to save the post under "local".<br />
The SMC5-N-N-5 processor uses the "mach3" post processor. The one included in [[Fusion 360]] is reported to sometimes cause erratic behavior with this controller. The prepared post on Github is modified to avoid this (add link).<br />
<br />
=== Machine Control===<br />
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine box and the jog-wheel (SMC5-5-N-N).<br />
<br />
[[File:0 MainSwitch.jpg|thumb|left|The main switch turns on the power for the CNC, the spindle, light and the controller.]]<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Homing the machine:''' This CNC has no auto-home. '''Always run the homing operation as first step directly after startup!'''<br />
<br />
[[File:1 Homing.jpg|thumb|left|Start by homing the machine. If the text „Reset“ blinks red on the screen, press the reset button (1). Press the “Origin Operation“ button (2). In the menu, select „Return To Home“ (3).]]<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Navigation basics:'''<br />
<br />
On the panel, use the XYZ +/- buttons to move the spindle. Always home the spindle at the beginning of your session. If properly homed, softstop settings should prevent the spindle from crashing into the sides of the machine, but navigate with caution. (add info how to change the distance per button press on the panel)<br />
<br />
When using the jogwheel, press the button on the left side and then move the wheel. The X1, X10, X100 switch controls how far the spindle moves per click of the wheel. If set to X1, one click is 1/100mm. X10 is 1/10th and at X100 one click moves 1mm. <br />
<br />
'''Zeroing the machine coordinate''' on the workpiece origin: <br />
<gallery><br />
File:2 CoordinateSystem.jpg|The coordinate system. Note that the machine zero point is in the top left front corner of the machine and the spindle moves down into the negative Z direction. <br />
File:3 SetToolheight.jpg|Carefully move down the tooltip onto the reference plane of your workpiece (usually the surface). Wiggle a piece of paper in between the tooltip and the workpiece and move the head down in 0.1mm or smaller increments until you start to feel the resistance and scratching.<br />
File:4 zeroZ.jpg|Press the „Coordinate Operation" button (1). Press „Z Auto Zero" to set zero of the work coordinate for Z in the current position.<br />
File:5 WorkpieceZeroXY.jpg|Move the tooltip to the X and Y position that you have set up as your origin in the CAM software.<br />
File:6 zeroXY.jpg|Zero the work coordinates for X and Y by pressing „X Axis Zero" and „Y Axis Zero" (1,2). You have now fully set-up the zero point of the work coordinates to be in line with the origin of your workpiece in CAM.<br />
</gallery><br />
<br />
<br />
To '''load your program''', insert USB key with gcode<br />
<br />
In the control-panel, select "File-Open" > USB > *.tap file > Open<br />
<br />
Make sure the Machine Zero is set-correctly and compare it one more time to your fusion settings. <br />
<br />
'''''Are you sure, that the height is correct and you are not cutting into the work table? Are you really sure? Good.'''''<br />
<br />
Dust & chip protection: If you are milling metal, position the U-shaped protection box over the work table. If it is wood, also hook up the dust shoe and a vacuum cleaner!<br />
<br />
Move your Z Axis up to clearance and start the spindle. Manually adjust the speed.<br />
<br />
RUN > Restart starts the program<br />
<br />
'''Stop and Emergency Stop''': In case of any issues don't hesitate to hit the big emergency stop (cuts all electricity immediately) or for smaller issues the stop on the jog-wheel (stops the program and moves to zero while keeping the coordinates). <br />
<br />
After finished, shut down the spindle and wait until it came to a full stop. Be careful: Endmill will be very hot!<br />

The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine box and the jog-wheel (SMC5-5-N-N).<br />
<br />
[[File:0 MainSwitch.jpg|thumb|left|The main switch turns on the power for the CNC, the spindle, light and the controller.]]<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Homing the machine:''' This CNC has no auto-home. '''Always run the homing operation as first step directly after startup!'''<br />
<br />
[[File:1 Homing.jpg|thumb|left|Start by homing the machine. If the text „Reset“ blinks red on the screen, press the reset button (1). Press the “Origin Operation“ button (2). In the menu, select „Return To Home“ (3).]]<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Navigation basics:'''<br />
<br />
On the panel, use the XYZ +/- buttons to move the spindle. Always home the spindle at the beginning of your session. If properly homed, softstop settings should prevent the spindle from crashing into the sides of the machine, but navigate with caution. (add info how to change the distance per button press on the panel)<br />
<br />
When using the jogwheel, press the button on the left side and then move the wheel. The X1, X10, X100 switch controls how far the spindle moves per click of the wheel. If set to X1, one click is 1/100mm. X10 is 1/10th and at X100 one click moves 1mm. <br />
<br />
'''Zeroing the machine coordinate''' on the workpiece origin: <br />

Wiggle a piece of paper in between the tooltip and the workpiece and move the head down in 0.1mm or smaller increments until you start to feel the resistance and scratching.<br />
File:4 zeroZ.jpg|Press the „Coordinate Operation" button (1). Press „Z Auto Zero" to set zero of the work coordinate for Z in the current position.<br />
File:5 WorkpieceZeroXY.jpg|Move the tooltip to the X and Y position that you have set up as your origin in the CAM software.<br />
File:6 zeroXY.jpg|Zero the work coordinates for X and Y by pressing „X Axis Zero" and „Y Axis Zero" (1,2). You have now fully set-up the zero point of the work coordinates to be in line with the origin of your workpiece in CAM.<br />

== Interfacing with the CNC Router ==<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
Grbl provides a serial interface via USB. The baud rate needs to be set to 115200. <br /> <br />
As mentioned in the suggested reading section, it is a good idea to make yourself familiar with the fundamentals of [https://github.com/grbl/grbl/wiki/Interfacing-with-Grbl interfacing with Grbl]. <br /><br />
In any case, if you want to start a job with the CNC router, you have to execute these steps: <br /><br />
# Make sure the router is off<br />
# Insert your desired bit into the router<br />
# Turn on the CNC Control Unit<br />
# Make sure the emergency stop is not pushed<br />
# You should hear howling. If you don´t, please push the emergency stop and release it<br />
# Use [[CNCjs]] to connect to the machine.<br />
# Perform a homing cycle ($H). You might have to release the machine first ($X).<br />
# Use the manual controls to bring the machine to the X/Y origin of your job.<br />
# Use the manual controle to bring the machine to the Z Origin of your job <br /> ATTENTION: Nothing prevents you from [https://www.instagram.com/p/BklN8j4niEL/late driving "into" the spoilboard] or your workpiece now. So make sure you move carefully and slowly!<br />
# Zero the machine<br />
# Move the router up a bit on the Z-axis<br />
# Turn on the router with your desired speed<br />
# Start your job<br />
# Carefully watch your job. Use the [[Shop Vacs]] to get rid of dust during your job. <br /> If anything goes wrong, push the emergency stop!<br />
# Once your job is done, turn off the router, home the machine and clean up.<br />
<br />
=== Different G-Code Senders ===<br />
Since our CNC router is based on Grbl, there are multiple software options for G-Code senders. <br/><br />
In the CoMakingSpace, we are using [[CNCjs]] for interfacing with the CNC Router.<br />

A CNC router is a computerized [[woodworking]] machine - basically a [[router]] mounted on a positioning system. While it may also be able to handle other materials than wood depending on the [[bits]] you use, a proper [[CNC Mill|CNC mill]] is more precise for machining parts out of metals and other non-wood materials.<br />
<br />
To use this machine, you need to familiarize yourself with at least two pieces of software:<br />
* a [[CAD]]/[[CAM]] program (e.g. [[Fusion 360]])<br />
** may also be two different programs, one for CAD and one for CAM<br />
* a [[G-Code Senders|G-Code sender]]<br />
<br />
There is also an interesting new approach of [https://shapertools.com/ handheld CNC routing] coming out which may remove the size constraints that come with any fixed-frame machine.<br />

=== Router ===<br />
<br />
The router mounted to it is a Dewalt D26200 (GB; known outside Europe as [https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/DWP611 DWP611]). You need to consider the sizes of its collets (''Spannzangen'') when buying your router bits.<br />
<br />

<br />
The collets of the DW613, DW620 and DW621 also fit the router and are easier to get in Germany than the original ones.<br />
<br />
=== Spoilboard ===<br />
<br />
Ooznest recommends a 6mm spoiler board, our first one is 20mm thick. It is mounted to the frame using 4 drop-in [[T-Slot Nuts|T-slot nuts]]. Cutting into the boards will make it uneven, from time to time it is neccessary to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xav1uvCN6yY surface the spoiler board] again.<br />

<br />
The SMC5-N-N-5 processor uses the "mach3" post processor. The one included in Fusion360 is reported to sometimes cause erratic behavior with this controller. The prepared post on Github is modified to avoid this (add link).<br />
<br />
=== Machine Control===<br />
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine box and the jog-wheel (SMC5-5-N-N).<br />
<br />
[[File:0 MainSwitch.jpg|thumb|left|The main switch turns on the power for the CNC, the spindle, light and the controller.]]<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Homing the machine:''' This CNC has no auto-home. '''Always run the homing operation as first step directly after startup!'''<br />
<br />
[[File:1 Homing.jpg|thumb|left|Start by homing the machine. If the text „Reset“ blinks red on the screen, press the reset button (1). Press the “Origin Operation“ button (2). In the menu, select „Return To Home“ (3).]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Navigation basics:'''<br />
<br />
On the panel, use the XYZ +/- buttons to move the spindle. Always home the spindle at the beginning of your session. If properly homed, softstop settings should prevent the spindle from crashing into the sides of the machine, but navigate with caution. (add info how to change the distance per button press on the panel)<br />
<br />
When using the jogwheel, press the button on the left side and then move the wheel. The X1, X10, X100 switch controls how far the spindle moves per click of the wheel. If set to X1, one click is 1/100mm. X10 is 1/10th and at X100 one click moves 1mm. <br />
<br />

<br />
==Tips & Tricks == <br />
*to avoid tear-out at the edge of a sensitive workpiece, it may be worthwhile to surround it with some sacrificial material (like [[MDF]]) before routing <sup>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BW7hYEjFxP0/]</sup> <br />
<br />
==Materials==<br />
(''For more details, see "[[Milling Experiences]]")''<br />
<br />
CNC routing is most appropriate for non-metal panels/boards. The exact material might dictate your choice of [[endmill]] or [[Router Bit|router bit]]!<br />
<br />
Cutting certain metals, e.g. millable aluminum, may still be possible with a lot of extra work, but a rigid and liquid-cooled [[CNC Mill|CNC mill]] would be the proper way to go.<br />
<br />
=== Carbon Fiber===<br />
<br />
[[Material:Carbon Fiber|Carbon fiber]] (CF) dust can be harmful if handled improperly. If you intent to route CF parts on the CNC (like plates for quardrocopter parts) please follow the workflow below:<br />
<br />
*Route carbon fiber only in a submerge water path e.g. in a large enough tray (keep enough towels near in case of an 'accident') <br />
**Afterwards filter the water through a coffee filter or similar<br />
*Don't vacuum the dust - instead, wipe it away with a moist towel or use some tape to pick it up<br />
*Only wet sanding<br />
*Keep the parts that came into contact with the carbon fiber dust in a sealed plastic bag until they are discarded<br />
*Discard the remains at a local special waste disposal and don't put them in the garbage!<br />

<div>[[File:CNC router.gif|right|400px]]<br />
A CNC router is a computerized [[woodworking]] machine - basically a [[router]] mounted on a positioning system. While it may also be able to handle other materials than wood depending on the [[bits]] you use, a proper [[CNC Mill|CNC mill]] is more precise for machining parts out of metals and other non-wood materials.<br />
<br />
To use this machine, you need to familiarize yourself with at least two pieces of software:<br />
* a [[CAD]]/[[CAM]] program (e.g. [[Fusion 360]])<br />
** may also be two different programs, one for CAD and one for CAM<br />
* a [[G-Code Senders|G-Code sender]]<br />
<br />
There is also an interesting new approach of [https://shapertools.com/ handheld CNC routing] coming out which may remove the size constraints that come with any fixed-frame machine.<br />

=== Router ===<br />
<br />
The router mounted to it is a Dewalt D26200 (GB; known outside Europe as [https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/DWP611 DWP611]). You need to consider the sizes of its collets (''Spannzangen'') when buying your router bits.<br />
<br />

** 8 mm<br />
** 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)<br />
** 1/8 inch (3.175 mm)<br />
<br />
The collets of the DW613, DW620 and DW621 also fit the router and are easier to get in Germany than the original ones.<br />
<br />
=== Spoilboard ===<br />
<br />
Ooznest recommends a 6mm spoiler board, our first one is 20mm thick. It is mounted to the frame using 4 drop-in [[T-Slot Nuts|T-slot nuts]].

<br />
Info about the post processor: The SMC5-N-N-5 processor uses the "mach3" post processor. The one included in Fusion360 is reported to sometimes cause erratic behavior with this controller. The prepared post on Github is modified to avoid this (add link).<br />
<br />
=== Machine Control===<br />
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine box and the jog-wheel (SMC5-5-N-N).<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:1 Homing.jpg|thumb|left|Start by homing the machine. If the text „Reset“ blinks red on the screen, press the reset button (1). Press the “Origin Operation“ button (2). In the menu, select „Return To Home“ (3).]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br clear="all">'''Navigation basics:'''<br />
<br />
On the panel, use the XYZ +/- buttons to move the spindle. Always home the spindle at the beginning of your session. If properly homed, softstop settings should prevent the spindle from crashing into the sides of the machine, but navigate with caution. (add info how to change the distance per button press on the panel)<br />
<br />
When using the jogwheel, press the button on the left side and then move the wheel. The X1, X10, X100 switch controls how far the spindle moves per click of the wheel. If set to X1, one click is 1/100mm. X10 is 1/10th and at X100 one click moves 1mm. <br />

==Tips & Tricks == <br />
*to avoid tear-out at the edge of a sensitive workpiece, it may be worthwhile to surround it with some sacrificial material (like [[MDF]]) before routing <sup>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BW7hYEjFxP0/]</sup> <br />
<br />
==Materials==<br />
(''For more details, see "[[Milling Experiences]]")''<br />
<br />
CNC routing is most appropriate for non-metal panels/boards. The exact material might dictate your choice of [[endmill]] or [[Router Bit|router bit]]!<br />
<br />
Cutting certain metals, e.g. millable aluminum, may still be possible with a lot of extra work, but a rigid and liquid-cooled [[CNC Mill|CNC mill]] would be the proper way to go.<br />
<br />
=== Carbon Fiber===<br />
<br />
[[Material:Carbon Fiber|Carbon fiber]] (CF) dust can be harmful if handled improperly. If you intent to route CF parts on the CNC (like plates for quardrocopter parts) please follow the workflow below:<br />
<br />
*Route carbon fiber only in a submerge water path e.g. in a large enough tray (keep enough towels near in case of an 'accident') <br />
**Afterwards filter the water through a coffee filter or similar<br />
*Don't vacuum the dust - instead, wipe it away with a moist towel or use some tape to pick it up<br />
*Only wet sanding<br />
*Keep the parts that came into contact with the carbon fiber dust in a sealed plastic bag until they are discarded<br />
*Discard the remains at a local special waste disposal and don't put them in the garbage!<br />

A CNC router is a computerized [[woodworking]] machine - basically a [[router]] mounted on a positioning system.

The router mounted to it is a Dewalt D26200 (GB; known outside Europe as [https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/DWP611 DWP611]). You need to consider the sizes of its collets (''Spannzangen'') when buying your router bits.<br />
<br />
* no-load speed: 16000 - 27000 rpm<br />
* max cutter diameter: 30 mm<br />
* available collet diameters:<br />
** 6 mm<br />
** 8 mm<br />
** 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)<br />
** 1/8 inch (3.175 mm)<br />
<br />
The collets of the DW613, DW620 and DW621 also fit the router and are easier to get in Germany than the original ones.<br />
<br />
=== Spoilboard ===<br />
<br />
Ooznest recommends a 6mm spoiler board, our first one is 20mm thick. It is mounted to the frame using 4 drop-in [[T-Slot Nuts|T-slot nuts]]. Cutting into the boards will make it uneven, from time to time it is neccessary to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xav1uvCN6yY surface the spoiler board] again.<br />
<br />
The total size of the spoilboard is currently 1445{{x}}1370 mm.<br />
<br />
When there is time, we would like to [https://github.com/comakingspace/do-something/issues/51 drill workholding holes into the spoilboard].<br />

''The spindle and the CNC controller (CNC xPro v3) + motors are hooked up to an electrical box on the left wall. You'll find a switch and an outlet for the spindle there. In case of an emergency the whole box can be shut off via one of the two emergency stops (inside the CNC room and on the outside above the access control). Everything except the Raspberry Pi will be turned off in that case.''<br />

<br />
=== Dust Extraction ===<br />
We have added a cyclone dust separator between the [[Shop Vac|shop vac]] and the CNC router itself. Thereby, the bulk of the shavings and dust should be collected in an easily emptied box rather than the shop vac's bag.<br />
<br />
The part that attaches the dust extraction hose to the router is called a "dust shoe". We are currently using [https://github.com/comakingspace/CommonFiles/tree/master/3DPrintingFiles/WorkbeeCNC this one] designed by [[Patrick]]. The next version should ideally fit the dust extraction hose without an adapter and include a kind of transparent, flexible "skirt" to optimize the airflow.<br />

Info about the post processor: The SMC5-N-N-5 processor uses the "mach3" post processor. The one included in Fusion360 is reported to sometimes cause erratic behavior with this controller. The prepared post on Github is modified to avoid this (add link).<br />

==Tips & Tricks== <br />
*to avoid tear-out at the edge of a sensitive workpiece, it may be worthwhile to surround it with some sacrificial material (like [[MDF]]) before routing <sup>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BW7hYEjFxP0/]</sup> <br />
<br />
==Materials==<br />
(''For more details, see "[[Milling Experiences]]")''<br />
<br />
CNC routing is most appropriate for non-metal panels/boards. The exact material might dictate your choice of [[endmill]] or [[Router Bit|router bit]]!<br />
<br />
Cutting certain metals, e.g. millable aluminum, may still be possible with a lot of extra work, but a rigid and liquid-cooled [[CNC Mill|CNC mill]] would be the proper way to go.<br />
<br />
===Carbon Fiber===<br />
<br />
[[Material:Carbon Fiber|Carbon fiber]] (CF) dust can be harmful if handled improperly. If you intent to route CF parts on the CNC (like plates for quardrocopter parts) please follow the workflow below:<br />
<br />
* Route carbon fiber only in a submerge water path e.g. in a large enough tray (keep enough towels near in case of an 'accident') <br />
**Afterwards filter the water through a coffee filter or similar<br />
*Don't vacuum the dust - instead, wipe it away with a moist towel or use some tape to pick it up<br />
*Only wet sanding<br />
*Keep the parts that came into contact with the carbon fiber dust in a sealed plastic bag until they are discarded<br />
*Discard the remains at a local special waste disposal and don't put them in the garbage!<br />

A CNC router is a computerized [[woodworking]] machine - basically a [[router]] mounted on a positioning system. While it may also be able to handle other materials than wood depending on the [[bits]] you use, a proper [[CNC Mill|CNC mill]] is more precise for machining parts out of metals and other non-wood materials.<br />
<br />
To use this machine, you need to familiarize yourself with at least two pieces of software:<br />
* a [[CAD]]/[[CAM]] program (e.g. [[Fusion 360]])<br />
** may also be two different programs, one for CAD and one for CAM<br />
* a [[G-Code Senders|G-Code sender]]<br />
<br />
There is also an interesting new approach of [https://shapertools.com/ handheld CNC routing] coming out which may remove the size constraints that come with any fixed-frame machine.<br />

<br />
==Tips & Tricks== <br />
*to avoid tear-out at the edge of a sensitive workpiece, it may be worthwhile to surround it with some sacrificial material (like [[MDF]]) before routing <sup>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BW7hYEjFxP0/]</sup><br />
<br />
==Materials ==<br />
(''For more details, see "[[Milling Experiences]]")''<br />
<br />
CNC routing is most appropriate for non-metal panels/boards. The exact material might dictate your choice of [[endmill]] or [[Router Bit|router bit]]!<br />
<br />
Cutting certain metals, e.g. millable aluminum, may still be possible with a lot of extra work, but a rigid and liquid-cooled [[CNC Mill|CNC mill]] would be the proper way to go.<br />
<br />
===Carbon Fiber ===<br />
<br />
[[Material:Carbon Fiber|Carbon fiber]] (CF) dust can be harmful if handled improperly. If you intent to route CF parts on the CNC (like plates for quardrocopter parts) please follow the workflow below:<br />
<br />
*Route carbon fiber only in a submerge water path e.g. in a large enough tray (keep enough towels near in case of an 'accident') <br />
**Afterwards filter the water through a coffee filter or similar<br />
*Don't vacuum the dust - instead, wipe it away with a moist towel or use some tape to pick it up<br />
* Only wet sanding<br />
*Keep the parts that came into contact with the carbon fiber dust in a sealed plastic bag until they are discarded<br />
*Discard the remains at a local special waste disposal and don't put them in the garbage!<br />

== Holzmann BT 203-914 ==<br />
<br />
After being commissioned, this machine will sit in the metal workshop, next to the grinding stones on a wooden box containing the manual and the accessories.<br />
<br />
It is a combined disc and belt sander with a 200mm rough sanding disc and a 914x100mm belt sander. Both are always simultaneously driven by the 550W motor. Belt speed is 9,5m/s and disc speed is 2850 min-1.<br />
<br />
This type of machine is helpful for all sanding tasks that require a fixed angle. Both sander sides have adjustable sanding tables and a slot for a miter gauge to guide your workpiece in a defined agle against the sanding disc or belt. <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
The machine has the following features <br />
<br />
* pivoting aluminium table for disc and belt sander (up to 45°)<br />
* sanding belt unit tiltable from 0-90° horizontally and vertically<br />
* mitre fence for precise angle sanding<br />
* suction device<br />
* suitable for longitudinal and front edges, round and mitre sanding and plane faces<br />
<br />
In the current version, the sanding disk is glued. After planned modification, it will be possible to install velcro-backed abrrasive discs.<br />
<br />
=== Materials ===<br />
As by the makers specification, the machine is permitted to process wood, and wood-like materials. <br />
<br />
Use the disc sander for rough shaping, or to create outside curves on wood. Use the belt sander to sand your wood or other material. Should you use it to process other materials or light metals, such as Aluminium, adhere to the special precautions mentioned in the machine introduction, and make sure that the mounted sanding belt/ disk supports your material.<br />
<br />
=== Proper Use ===<br />
Always check the following before you start to work with the machine<br />
<br />
* All cables and plugs<br />
* Loose screws and connections. Damaged parts have to be replaced immediately, no operation of the machine in the meantime!<br />
* Tight fit of table and safety fence <br />
* The free and centered run of sanding belt and disc<br />
* Attention! To prevent fingers from being squeezed between the band and table, a maximum separation of 3 mm has to be maintained between the table and grinding band. Check that this is the case.<br />
<br />
Configure the machine for your use case (table-angles etc). <br />
<br />
* The angle stop can be used for angles of up to 45°, to the left or right, by releasing the locking button and adjusting the angle stop to the desired angle.<br />
* The backing plate of the grinding belt has to be adjusted so it almost touches the grinding belt. In order to adjust it, release the two screws holding the plate in the machine rack. Tighten the screws again after you adjusted the plate. <br />
* To remove the plate to perform special jobs (e.g. polishing or contour-grinding), loosen the two attachment screws<br />
<br />
To turn the machine on, press "I" (green). Turn the machine off, press "O" (red).<br />
<br />
When working with the machine, do not apply too much pressure to the sanding abrasive.<br />
<br />
As the machine offers no possibility to clamp your material, it is important, that complete work piece maintains a firm grip on the worktable!<br />
<br />
=== Safety ===<br />
Always make sure to adhere to all precautions trained during the [[Stationary Sander Introduction|stationary sander introduction]]<br />
<br />
=== Maintenance ===<br />
The machine does not require extensive maintenance. Service malfunctions and defects by trained persons only. Regular maintenance: <br />
<br />
* After each workshift: Remove chips and sanding dust from the device<br />
* After 10 hours of operation: Check all screw connections and tighten if necessary<br />
<br />
Refer to the manual in order learn more about the process to change the grinding belt and the disc.<br />
<br />
==== Sandpaper Cleaning ====<br />
Sandpaper can be restored a few times before it is used up by briefly sanding a piece of rubber! Instead of proper [https://www.holz-metall.info/shop1/artikel8086.htm cleaning sticks] you can apparently get great results [https://www.operation-eigenheim.de/schleifpapier-reinigen-mit-alten-schuhen/ with the sole of an old shoe] - any donors? ;-)<br />

'''The laser cutter must only be operated by members who have received a [[Laser Cutter Introduction|detailed introduction]]!'''<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
* power: 80 Watt<br />
* worktable size: 60x90 cm (length x width), engraving a bit smaller<br />
** Z axis (height): 23 cm<br />
<br />
== Safety Concerns ==<br />
A laser cutter is a delicate and dangerous piece of equipment and should only run under direct supervision of a [[Laser Cutter Introduction|qualified]] user. The machine needs to be supervised even more than the [[3D Printer Farm|3D printers]], with the '''operator standing by during the entire duration of a cutting job and being in close vicinity during engraving jobs'''.<br />
<br />
Although the laser beam itself should be certified laser class 1 due to the massive housing and other safety features, the fumes generated when cutting various materials can be harmful to human health (see [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|forbidden materials]]). A good exhaust filtering system can take care of fumes from the allowed materials but only an outside vent will really remove the smoky smell.<br />
<br />
=== Location Requirements ===<br />
* no dust<br />
* 5 °C ≤ room temperature ≤ 25 °C <br />
* max. 70 % humidity<br />
* CO<sub>2</sub> fire extinguisher in the area<br />
<br />
==> in the [[eRoom]]<br />
<br />
== Rules ==<br />
* supervise the entire job when cutting<br />
** a fire can only be stopped quick enough if you open the lid '''immediately'''!<br />
* stay in close vicinity for the entire job when engraving<br />
* abort if you see, hear or smell anything out of the ordinary!<br />
<br />
=== Forbidden Materials ===<br />
* materials that contain chlorine (Cl) - it's unhealthy and also destroys the machine<br />
** e.g. [[PVC]] ("vinyl", found in most soft plastics and records)<br />
** artificial leather<br />
** neoprene<br />
* materials that contain fluorine (F) - it can kill you and also destroys the machine<br />
** e.g. [[Material:PTFE|PTFE]] ("Teflon") - very very unhealthy!<br />
* epoxy resins and materials bonded with epoxy resins<br />
<br />
→ with some materials it is not clear whether it contains Cl or F. '''If you are not sure, don't cut or engrave it'''. If you notice '''any unusal coloration''' of the smoke or flame, stop the job immediately!<br />
<br />
=== Possible Materials (Cutting/Engraving) ===<br />
Check the [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|material settings database]] to see if and how something has been cut before and please add your experience as well.<br />
<br />
In addition, you can check the official list from [[https://www.epiloglaser.com/laser-machines/zing-laser-series.htm#materials Epilog]].<br />
* [[wood]]<br />
** [[plywood]]<br />
** particle board/chip board<br />
** [[MDF]] and [[HDF]] are also allowed but will make frequent [[Laser Cutter#Cleaning of the Optics|lens cleaning]] necessary due to their high glue content<br />
* [[Material:Acrylic Glass|acrylic glass]]/''Plexiglass'' (→ not the cheap [[Material:Polystyrene|polystyrene]]/''Bastlerglas'' from hardware stores, it welds itself shut after being cut)<br />
** cast acrylic (GS/''gegossen'') - "chemically better"<br />
*** very suitable for engraving because the colour changes into a milky version of the original<br />
** extruded acrylic (XT/''extrudiert'') - better thickness accuracy<br />
*** very suitable for cutting<br />
*** very suitable for parts that should fit together tightly<br />
*** not as suitable for engraving because there is no colour difference<br />
**** 3D engravable, though - the grooves can be [[Material:Fill-In Paint|filled with paint for a nice effect]]<br />
* [[leather]], but '''no artificial leathers''' if they contain chlorine!<br />
* [[paper]]<br />
* [[Colored Card|colored card]]<br />
** discoloration when "engraving", looks nice<br />
* [[cardboard]]<br />
* [[Material:Rubber|rubber]] (special kind for stamps) <br />
* [[foam]]<br />
* [[fabric]]<br />
* '''some''' polyurethanes depending on additives (see this [https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/603216/603216.pdf study] for some reference [p. 101])<br />
<br />
When cutting wood or acrylic glass, a small flame may be observed at the focal point but is not necessarily a bad thing. However, if it burns too much or is still on when the laser beam is already somewhere else, immediately open the cover. Because the laser automatically shuts down, the fire should go out.<br />
<br />
=== Possible Materials (Engraving Only) ===<br />
* [[Material:Glass|glass]]<br />
** including mirrors (front or back!)<br />
* [[Material:Metal|metals]]<br />
** only [[Material:Aluminium#Anodized Aluminium|anodized aluminium]] and high quality [[Material:Stainless Steel|stainless steel]] can be engraved directly<br />
** for most metals you should use a [[Material:Laser Marking Spray|special marking spray]]<br />
*** only works on blank metal, any coatings will not allow the molecular bond triggered by the laser's heat<br />
<br />
=== Cost ===<br />
The tube and filters need to be replaced from time to time which will add up to several hundred €.<br />
<br />
Therefore, an appropriate user contribution is '''20 ct per minute''' which you should please throw into the obvious cash box immediately or in advance.<br />
<br />
== Machine Control ==<br />
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine:<br />
<br />
[[File:LS6090 Control 1.JPG|thumb|left]]<br />
===Homing===<br />
When you turn on the machine, please press the "Datum" button in order to Home the machine. This is needed so that the machine knows where the laser is located after a restart. The laser will move to the upper right corner of the machine.<br />
<br />
===Moving the Laser===<br />
In order to move the laser to the starting point of your job, please ensure that you are in the main menu and no option is being highlighted. This can be achieved by pressing "ESC" until you see the following:<br />
[[File:LS6090 Control Movement Possible.JPG|thumb|Movements are possible if nothing is highlighted]]<br />
<br />
Now you can move the laser by pressing the directional buttons.<br />
<br />
'''Jog Speed'''<br />
<br />
In case the laser is moving too much or too little with each button press, please go to the jog set menu by using the following key combination: ''Menu --> Down --> Down --> Enter''<br />
<br />
In this menu, you can set the jog distance. Please confirm the new distance by pressing Enter.<br />
<br />
===Starting the Job===<br />
After uploading your job to the machine (see [[LaserCut_5.3#Uploading_your_Job]] for details), you can start the job by pressing "Start / Pause". The same button will also pause your job in between if needed.<br />
<br />
===Setting the Focus===<br />
<br />
In order to set the focus of the laser, please put your workpiece on the tray and put the focus finder (little black 3D printed thingy) on top of it. Now, move the laser above the focus finder and move the tray up (by pressing "up") until the red light of the focus finder turns on. Now, move the tray down until the red light turns off. The focus is now set to the surface of your workpiece.<br />

'''The laser cutter must only be operated by members who have received a [[Laser Cutter Introduction|detailed introduction]]!'''<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
* power: 80 Watt<br />
* worktable size: 60x90 cm (length x width), engraving a bit smaller<br />
** Z axis (height): 23 cm<br />
<br />
== Safety Concerns ==<br />
A laser cutter is a delicate and dangerous piece of equipment and should only run under direct supervision of a [[Laser Cutter Introduction|qualified]] user. The machine needs to be supervised even more than the [[3D Printer Farm|3D printers]], with the '''operator standing by during the entire duration of a cutting job and being in close vicinity during engraving jobs'''.<br />
<br />
Although the laser beam itself should be certified laser class 1 due to the massive housing and other safety features, the fumes generated when cutting various materials can be harmful to human health (see [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|forbidden materials]]). A good exhaust filtering system can take care of fumes from the allowed materials but only an outside vent will really remove the smoky smell.<br />
<br />
=== Location Requirements ===<br />
* no dust<br />
* 5 °C ≤ room temperature ≤ 25 °C <br />
* max. 70 % humidity<br />
* CO<sub>2</sub> fire extinguisher in the area<br />
<br />
==> in the [[eRoom]]<br />
<br />
== Rules ==<br />
* supervise the entire job when cutting<br />
** a fire can only be stopped quick enough if you open the lid '''immediately'''!<br />
* stay in close vicinity for the entire job when engraving<br />
* abort if you see, hear or smell anything out of the ordinary!<br />
<br />
=== Forbidden Materials ===<br />
* materials that contain chlorine (Cl) - it's unhealthy and also destroys the machine<br />
** e.g. [[PVC]] ("vinyl", found in most soft plastics and records)<br />
** artificial leather<br />
** neoprene<br />
* materials that contain fluorine (F) - it can kill you and also destroys the machine<br />
** e.g. [[Material:PTFE|PTFE]] ("Teflon") - very very unhealthy!<br />
* epoxy resins and materials bonded with epoxy resins<br />
<br />
→ with some materials it is not clear whether it contains Cl or F. '''If you are not sure, don't cut or engrave it'''. If you notice '''any unusal coloration''' of the smoke or flame, stop the job immediately!<br />
<br />
=== Possible Materials (Cutting/Engraving) ===<br />
Check the [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|material settings database]] to see if and how something has been cut before and please add your experience as well.<br />
<br />
In addition, you can check the official list from [[https://www.epiloglaser.com/laser-machines/zing-laser-series.htm#materials Epilog]].<br />
* [[wood]]<br />
** [[plywood]]<br />
** particle board/chip board<br />
** [[MDF]] and [[HDF]] are also allowed but will make frequent [[Laser Cutter#Cleaning of the Optics|lens cleaning]] necessary due to their high glue content<br />
* [[Material:Acrylic Glass|acrylic glass]]/''Plexiglass'' (→ not the cheap [[Material:Polystyrene|polystyrene]]/''Bastlerglas'' from hardware stores, it welds itself shut after being cut)<br />
** cast acrylic (GS/''gegossen'') - "chemically better"<br />
*** very suitable for engraving because the colour changes into a milky version of the original<br />
** extruded acrylic (XT/''extrudiert'') - better thickness accuracy<br />
*** very suitable for cutting<br />
*** very suitable for parts that should fit together tightly<br />
*** not as suitable for engraving because there is no colour difference<br />
**** 3D engravable, though - the grooves can be [[Material:Fill-In Paint|filled with paint for a nice effect]]<br />
* [[leather]], but '''no artificial leathers''' if they contain chlorine!<br />
* [[paper]]<br />
* [[Colored Card|colored card]]<br />
** discoloration when "engraving", looks nice<br />
* [[cardboard]]<br />
* [[Material:Rubber|rubber]] (special kind for stamps) <br />
* [[foam]]<br />
* [[fabric]]<br />
* '''some''' polyurethanes depending on additives (see this [https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/603216/603216.pdf study] for some reference [p. 101])<br />
<br />
When cutting wood or acrylic glass, a small flame may be observed at the focal point but is not necessarily a bad thing. However, if it burns too much or is still on when the laser beam is already somewhere else, immediately open the cover. Because the laser automatically shuts down, the fire should go out.<br />
<br />
=== Possible Materials (Engraving Only) ===<br />
* [[Material:Glass|glass]]<br />
** including mirrors (front or back!)<br />
* [[Material:Metal|metals]]<br />
** only [[Material:Aluminium#Anodized Aluminium|anodized aluminium]] and high quality [[Material:Stainless Steel|stainless steel]] can be engraved directly<br />
** for most metals you should use a [[Material:Laser Marking Spray|special marking spray]]<br />
*** only works on blank metal, any coatings will not allow the molecular bond triggered by the laser's heat<br />
<br />
=== Cost ===<br />
The tube and filters need to be replaced from time to time which will add up to several hundred €.<br />
<br />
Therefore, an appropriate user contribution is '''20 ct per minute''' which you should please throw into the obvious cash box immediately or in advance.<br />
<br />
== Machine Control ==<br />
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine:<br />
<br />
[[File:LS6090 Control 1.JPG|thumb|left]]<br />
===Homing===<br />
When you turn on the machine, please press the "Datum" button in order to Home the machine. This is needed so that the machine knows where the laser is located after a restart. The laser will move to the upper right corner of the machine.<br />
<br />
===Moving the Laser===<br />
In order to move the laser to the starting point of your job, please ensure that you are in the main menu and no option is being highlighted. This can be achieved by pressing "ESC" until you see the following:<br />
[[File:LS6090 Control Movement Possible.JPG|thumb|Movements are possible if nothing is highlighted]]<br />
<br />
Now you can move the laser by pressing the directional buttons.<br />
<br />
'''Jog Speed'''<br />
<br />
In case the laser is moving too much or too little with each button press, please go to the jog set menu by using the following key combination: ''Menu --> Down --> Down --> Enter''<br />
<br />
In this menu, you can set the jog distance. Please confirm the new distance by pressing Enter.<br />
<br />
===Starting the Job===<br />
After uploading your job to the machine (see [[LaserCut_5.3#Uploading_your_Job]] for details), you can start the job by pressing "Start / Pause". The same button will also pause your job in between if needed.<br />
<br />
===Setting the Focus===<br />
<br />
In order to set the focus of the laser, please put your workpiece on the tray and put the focus finder (little black 3D printed thingy) on top of it. Now, move the laser above the focus finder and move the tray up (by pressing "up") until the red light of the focus finder turns on. Now, move the tray down until the red light turns off. The focus is now set to the surface of your workpiece.<br />

<hr />
<div>Unfortunately you can't just calculate the perfect settings based on the '''power''' ("Watts") of a [[Laser Cutter|laser cutter]] because the actually delivered energy is always based on a combination of power and '''''speed''''', which is different for each brand or model of laser cutter. To make things more complicated, 100 % power in a cutting profile is not the same as 100 % power in an engraving profile... <!-- because of different frequencies? --><br />
<br />
As there is always some trial and error involved, please share your experience with the others! You can often use experience from other machines as a ''rough'' starting point.<br />
<br />
In general, cutting is usually done at 100 % power and the highest speed that will still result in a reliable cut. If 100 % speed still gets you through (e.g. paper or cardboard), you should reduce the power until you find the sweet spot. Besides the power setting, you can influence the invested energy by altering the pulse '''frequency''' - you may want to go lower on flammable materials like wood, where edges might otherwise become black, and higher on plastics like [[Acrylic Glass|acrylic glass]] where you are aiming for a "flame-polished" edge.<sup> [https://www.epiloglaser.com/assets/downloads/manuals/zing-manual-web.pdf page 46]</sup><br />
<br />
The width of the kerf ''(Schnittfuge)'' also depends on the laser settings and the material you're using and could be important for certain designs - here's [https://makezine.com/2018/12/31/accounting-for-kerf-how-much-material-is-really-removed-by-your-cutter/ how to determine this parameter]!<br />

== Holzmann BT 203_914 ==<br />
<br />
After being commissioned, this machine will sit in the metal workshop, next to the grinding stones on a wooden box containing the manual and the accessories.<br />
<br />
It is a combined disc and belt sander with a 200mm rough sanding disc and a 914x100mm belt sander. Both are always simultaneously driven by the 550W motor. Belt speed is 9,5m/s and disc speed is 2850 min-1.<br />
<br />
This type of machine is helpful for all sanding tasks that require a fixed angle. Both sander sides have adjustable sanding tables and a slot for a miter gauge to guide your workpiece in a defined agle against the sanding disc or belt. <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
The machine has the following features <br />
<br />
* pivoting aluminium table for disc and belt sander (up to 45°)<br />
* sanding belt unit tiltable from 0-90° horizontally and vertically<br />
* mitre fence for precise angle sanding<br />
* suction device<br />
* suitable for longitudinal and front edges, round and mitre sanding and plane faces<br />
<br />
In the current version, the sanding disk is glued. After planned modification, it will be possible to install velcro-backed abrrasive discs.<br />
<br />
=== '''Materials''' ===<br />
As by the makers specification, the machine is permitted to process wood, and wood-like materials. <br />
<br />
Use the disc sander for rough shaping, or to create outside curves on wood. Use the belt sander to sand your wood or other material. Should you use it to process other materials or light metals, such as Aluminium, adhere to the special precautions mentioned in the machine introduction, and make sure that the mounted sanding belt/ disk supports your material.<br />
<br />
=== '''Proper Use''' ===<br />
Always check the following before you start to work with the machine<br />
<br />
* All cables and plugs<br />
* Loose screws and connections. Damaged parts have to be replaced immediately, no operation of the machine in the meantime!<br />
* Tight fit of table and safety fence <br />
* The free and centered run of sanding belt and disc<br />
* Attention! To prevent fingers from being squeezed between the band and table a minimum separation of 2 mm has to be maintained between the table and grinding band. Check that this is the case.<br />
<br />
Configure the machine for your use case (table-angles etc). <br />
<br />
* The angle stop can be used for angles of up to 45°, to the left or right, by releasing the locking button and adjusting the angle stop to the desired angle.<br />
* The backing plate of the grinding belt has to be adjusted so it almost touches the grinding belt. In order to adjust it, release the two screws holding the plate in the machine rack. Tighten the screws again after you adjusted the plate. <br />
* To remove the plate to perform special jobs (e.g. polishing or contour-grinding), loosen the two attachment screws<br />
<br />
To turn the machine on, press "I" (green). Turn the machine off, press "O" (red).<br />
<br />
When working with the machine, do not apply too much pressure to the sanding abrasive.<br />
<br />
As the machine offers no possibility to clamp your material, it is important, that complete work piece maintains a firm grip on the worktable!<br />
<br />
=== '''Safety''' ===<br />
Always make sure to adhere to all precautions trained during the [[Belt and Disc Sander Introduction]]<br />
<br />
=== '''Maintenance''' ===<br />
The machine does not require extensive maintenance. Service malfunctions and defects by trained persons only. Regular maintenance: <br />
<br />
* After each workshift: Remove chips and sanding dust from the device<br />
* After 10 hours of operation: Check all screw connections and tighten if necessary<br />
<br />

* Loose screws and connections. Damaged parts have to be replaced immediately, no operation of the machine in the meantime!<br />
* Tight fit of table and safety fence <br />
* The free and centered run of sanding belt and disc<br />
* Attention! To prevent fingers from being squeezed between the band and table a minimum separation of 2 mm has to be maintained between the table and grinding band. Check that this is the case.<br />
<br />
Configure the machine for your use case (table-angles etc). <br />
<br />
* The angle stop can be used for angles of up to 45°, to the left or right, by releasing the locking button and adjusting the angle stop to the desired angle.<br />
* The backing plate of the grinding belt has to be adjusted so it almost touches the grinding belt. In order to adjust it, release the two screws holding the plate in the machine rack. Tighten the screws again after you adjusted the plate. <br />
* To remove the plate to perform special jobs (e.g. polishing or contour-grinding), loosen the two attachment screws<br />
<br />
To turn the machine on, press "I" (green). Turn the machine off, press "O" (red).<br />
<br />
When working with the machine, do not apply too much pressure to the sanding abrasive.<br />
<br />
As the machine offers no possibility to clamp your material, it is important, that complete work piece maintains a firm grip on the worktable!<br />
<br />
=== '''Safety''' ===<br />
Adhere to the following safety-rules<br />
<br />
* Always use the proper abrasive for your material, that is in perfect condition. Always change worn-of abrasives immediately! Never use a damaged abrasive! Only use abrasive that is allowed for this machine!<br />
* Never use the machine with defective or without mounted guard (HIGHEST RISK OF INJURY)<br />

* Always disconnect the machine prior to any actions performed at the machine.<br />
* Avoid unintentional starting<br />
* Do not use the machine with damaged switch.<br />
<br />
=== '''Maintenance''' ===<br />
The machine does not require extensive maintenance. Service malfunctions and defects by trained persons only. Regular maintenance: <br />
<br />
* After each workshift: Remove chips and sanding dust from the device<br />
* After 10 hours of operation: Check all screw connections and tighten if necessary<br />
* Before first operation as well as later on every 100 operation hours you should lubricate all connecting parts.<br />
* Check regularly the condition of the security stickers. Replace them if required.<br />
* Check regularly the condition of the saw band and the saw band guide.<br />
* The good condition and perfect adjustment of the guiding rollers is essential for a smooth band guidance and a clean cut.<br />
* Store the machine in a closed, dry location<br />

== Holzmann BT 203_914 ==<br />
<br />
After being commissioned, this machine will sit in the metal workshop, next to the grinding stones on a wooden box containing the manual and the accessories.<br />
<br />
It is a combined disc and belt sander with a 200mm rough sanding disc and a 914x100mm belt sander. Both are always simultaneously driven by the 550W motor. Belt speed is 9,5m/s and disc speed is 2850 min-1.<br />
<br />
This type of machine is helpful for all sanding tasks that require a fixed angle. Both sander sides have adjustable sanding tables and a slot for a miter gauge to guide your workpiece in a defined agle against the sanding disc or belt. <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Features ===<br />
The machine has the following features <br />
<br />
* pivoting aluminium table for disc and belt sander (up to 45°)<br />
* sanding belt unit tiltable from 0-90° horizontally and vertically<br />
* mitre fence for precise angle sanding<br />
* suction device<br />
* suitable for longitudinal and front edges, round and mitre sanding and plane faces<br />
<br />
In the current version, the sanding disk is glued. After planned modification, it will be possible to install velcro-backed abrrasive discs.<br />
<br />
=== '''Materials''' ===<br />
As by the makers specification, the machine is permitted to process wood, and wood-like materials. <br />
<br />
Use the disc sander for rough shaping, or to create outside curves. Use the belt sander to sand your the wood/ material.<br />
<br />
Should you use it to process other materials or light metals, such as Aluminium, adhere to the special precautions mentioned in the machine introduction, and make sure that the mounted sanding belt/ disk supports your material.<br />
<br />

<div>An overview of the waiting lists for our [[introductions]] that take more time than the [[tutors]] can usually invest spontaneously.<br />
<br />
''If you want to "wait" for a vehicle spot, see [[Vehicle Workspaces|vehicle workspaces]].''<br />
<br />
<big>'''How to Use'''</big><br><br />
Please '''link''' your [[Special:MyPage|user page]] at the bottom of each list you're interested in after you've filled it with enough information to contact you and/or activated "Allow other users to email me" in your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]!<br />
<br />
If a list is full enough and/or you have been waiting for a while, please reach out to the tool's tutors and kindly ask for a date - maybe they've just been too busy, but it could also be that they missed the list filling up and would appreciate the reminder. <br />

<div>An overview of the waiting lists for our [[introductions]] that take more time than the [[tutors]] can usually invest spontaneously.<br />
<br />
''If you want to "wait" for a vehicle spot, see [[Vehicle Workspaces|vehicle workspaces]].''<br />
<br />
<big>'''How to Use'''</big><br><br />
Please '''link''' your [[Special:MyPage|user page]] at the bottom of each list you're interested in after you've filled it with enough information to contact you and/or activated "Allow other users to email me" in your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]!<br />
<br />
If a list is full enough and/or you have been waiting for a while, please reach out to the tool's tutors and kindly ask for a date - maybe they've just been too busy, but it could also be that they missed the list filling up and would appreciate the reminder. <br />

<hr />
<div>Hi, I'm half an engineer, half a business guy who is constantly trying out different ways of making things and usually has more ideas than time on hand. <br />
<br />
<br />
What I've enjoyed so far (at another makerspace / at home)<br />
<br />
* '''Woodworking''' - Some projects of the past included turning a massive board of wallnut into small stuff like magnetic knife boards and free floating wallboards for keys.<br />
* '''Coffee''' - A constant passion in my life. From time to time I'm roasting my own on a converted popcorn machine hooked to an ipad. <br />
* '''3D''' '''Printing''' - Building and improving an Anet A8 at home<br />
* '''Raspberry Pi''' - Running a pihole, openmediavault, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
What I'd like to try<br />
<br />
* '''Woodturning''' - Only used a metal lathe in the past, time to try this out<br />
* '''Lasercutting''' - Mainly for engraving logos on hardwood build<br />
* '''Welding'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Some Projects planned<br />
<br />
* '''Cutting Boards''' - I got my hand on some local applewood boards, so thats first after the introductions to the necessary machines<br />
* '''Knife Scales''' - I have a nice knife with ugly scales, this should change<br />
* '''Epoxy''' - So many ideas with wood+expoy compunds...<br />
* '''Table''' - Long term goal: Hardwood tabletop.</div>Sebastian
