Facts to consider when choosing table size
If you get a light Router Table, then it will vibrate, and you will only be able to cut at a low feed rate or you will break cutters or have rough cutting surfaces. A heavy solid table on the other hand will vibrate less, and this will allow you to run at a higher feed-rate.
Why your Router Table should be Rigid and Heavy
If you get a light Router Table, then it will vibrate, and you will only be able to cut at a low feed rate or you will break cutters or have rough cutting surfaces. A heavy solid table on the other hand will vibrate less, and this will allow you to run at a higher feed-rate.
Absolute, So What?
So, we turn on the mains isolator, and then press the ignition switch… The touch screen comes alive and by the time we have walked to the console the display is up. You look for the familiar ‘Home All Axis’ button and then you realize… there isn’t one. On closer inspection the X, Y, Z readouts have values, this is the position of the machine. The Home buttons have been replaced by Goto Zero buttons. This is the fi
Making Aluminum Parts? Use a Unicam ‘Part-Maker’
The ‘Part-Maker’ is a machine designed to manufacture small aluminum parts such as hinges, clamps, brackets, solar panel mountings, or discreet components from aluminum extrusion or other rigid material. The unit accepts a full length of aluminum extrusion which is fed through a rotary chuck. The machine can be configured with multiple spindles one of which could be an Automatic Tool Changer.
