First Signs

4 Attachment(s)

Here are some signs I made.
A simple start to begin with.

1 ° pic: 6x signs for people who went on retirement.
2 ° pic: 2x birthday plate.
3 ° pic: some puzzles.
4 ° pic: a doorsign .

All made of MDF .
For the signs I used a V-bit 90° and a feedrate of 600 mm/min or 10 mm/sec.

I had to reduce the feedrate from 1500mm/min to 600 mm/min, because the machine was making too heavy movements , in my opinion.
Afterwards I have decreased the acceleration of the X-Y- Z axis from 1300 to 500 (I think this is better)

What is an acceptable feedrate for making such signs with a V-Bit D= 19mm 90° ?:confused:

Thanks

Nice work Bart!

We do cut such signs at around 1500 mm/min and the machine does shake around a lot. We only reduce the speed if the quality of cutting gets bad. (If you reduce the speed too much, the cutter leaves burn marks)

Thanks Gerald ,

I was a bit afraid that I would damage the shafts of the motors with the feedrate of 1500 mm/min and all that shaking .
But now I know that it's alright .
A feedrate of 1500 mm/min will be the standart .:)

He ,

The only plan I have is drawn by hand.
To make a input “ high” : just make a connection between the + 24V and desired input.

If you download the manual from the link you have a short but good tutorial about this BOB in dutch .

Good luck

The RAL is 5021 instead of 5010.
Originally , I bought these paint for my outside metal stair , several years ago .
But the color was not right for my wife ...

I painted everything with a paint role.
It took me about 2 weeks.
Each day approximately 2 hours painting. I have 2 layers established.
Only the Y-car, I tried spraying with a cheap spray gun from a local store.
This was a big mistake . The quality was bad and I still have to clean my garage.:(

Further I had a long wait for the “hold down shaft” and the “bearing support base”.
But now I have an extra set , maybe for later.
I only need to weld it on the spider plate .

Also I decided to buy 4 x PK 296AE-SG7.2 .
So, I have already bought the 4 x pinions : module 1 – Z = 36

What size of square tubing did you use for the 'cross angle brace-cut' wich are visible in the picture on the right (10 10 304 S A).
