CNC Training

[maddog 62]

Hello everyone
the wife a voucher for crissy, one trip away to a wood working course, so
was wondering if anyone knows of any CNC courses in the Brisbane area, at a someone with bit of a basic idea (me) could attend.
So hopefully i can get more out of my investment.

Or someone who is willing to put in sometime and pass on some of their knowledge one on one.
in this case not necessarly brisbane


thanks in advance for any feed back
Cheers Tony

I can help with remote help ,
Pick something you want to make ,and ill run through it with you
if you haven't got the software i can send you G-code , in 3d or 2d

I sent off a heap of g - code to new zealand for a CASTING Forum Myers bulldozer pump
So pick a project you think you can do , and post the idear , and ill run through it with you

at the moment im making a " automatic plastic injector " starting with a 8 inch Air Ram , making the patterns and casting the parts in alloy

Ken.
thanks for the reply and the offer.
am in process of upgrading from 2DCarve to VCarve pro.
so will have a million questions to do with that, also i would like to get more out of mach than i already am getting
ie faster ramp up/ more speed out of spindle still dont think i am getting the most out of it
etc.

will keep in contact.
again thanks

i dont have v-carve
i run Cut2dD , Cut3D , TurboCadCAM plugin for mill ( 4th axis ) and photo carve
and use TurboCAD16pro for Drawing

when i first started i got the JOG speeds to a set at the highest speed but soon after "i got the ##### with loosing steps" ,so just quickly halved all the speeds and acceleration ,
in one year since i have not lost a step , so haven't touched the settings again
, i could probably up the max speed , but most my work is with 4mm bit or smaller so the top speed dosnt really get used , or you will snap your bit
