Tools/boxford: Difference between revisions

 

The Boxford is kept downstairs on the west wall between the drill press and the linisher. The lab does not keep a regular stock of milling cutters, although you might find some around the place from time to time. If you have a specific job in mind then it's recommended that you bring your own tooling, we do this because a clumsy operator can easily break hundreds of pounds worth of tools in a few minutes and it wouldn't be fair to other members for the lab to have to pay for that. At the moment we're recommending a maximum speed of 800mm/sec for travel moves (although speeds up to 1200mm/min are available) and 300mm/sec for cutting moves, although the exact speed you want to use will depend on many factors (see the [[Workshops/boxford|induction]]). The Boxford is protected from damage by [[Prudence|Prudence, the safety goat]]. The Fusion-360 definition file for the boxford is [[File:Boxford Smoothie.machine|here]], and the post-processor is [[File:Boxford Smoothie.cps|here]]
