Tips of Cutting Aluminium

Choose What To Cut Aluminium

How to cut aluminum? By China CNC Router or waterjet? Sheet size would be 4' x 10' with a thickness of 1/4-1/2". Such aluminium is for fabricator, many companies use plastic and wood laminates. it would be a better investment for the company to buy a machine that could do multiple things as opposed to a water jet or china cnc router which will only cut steel and aluminum.

You can cut aluminum with a china cnc router. 

The China cnc router needs to be set up with lubricant spray and the vacuum pump cannot be one with graphite vanes - if the lubricant sucks through the vacuum to the pump and gets on the vanes, they are toast. 

Routers are not really made for cutting metals, however, the key word above is "can." For working metal, it is better to get a mill, as they are engineered for metal work in terms of feed rates, rotation speeds, adequate lubricant flow, recycling lubricant, etc. Hold downs are usually mechanical using t-channel (rather than vacuum, as is typical on  China CNC routers). Routers' rotation/hp ratio are typically best at higher rotational speeds (like 18,000 to 21,000 RPM), which are way higher than those normally used for metals. 

How To Use CNC Wood Router To Create Frame

How To Use CNC Wood Router To Create Frame

1. Create frame program in CAD software. Then output it to program edit software, in this software, you set toolpath, choose cutters for different job, such as engraving, drilling or cutting etc. Then output the program with the format CNC Wood router could read.

2.  Put wood workpiece to cnc wood router working table. To make sure that wood work piece be clamped or absorbed tightly to working table.

3. Now turn on cnc wood router, move spindle to the position you want starting. And set home point.

4. Use dust collecting system for operator health, environment proteciton, machine protection.

5. When the cnc wood router complete its work, the spindle will move back to the homepoint. You can go on another work or turn off cnc wood router.

How To Make Program on CNC Wood Router

How To Make Program on CNC Wood Router

CNC Wood Router is rather popular in the morden instrument industry.
CNC wood router could allow woodworker to make out precise carving pieces quickly.  Such as violin makers, photo frame etc who need to produce a number of similar products.

There are several steps you need to do:
1. Input the dimension of work piece into the command console. X axis represents the length of the work-piece, Y is the width, and Z is the height.

2. Create the milling program. Enter the depth and direction of each cut as well as the number of passes required to reach the finished cut depth. Repeated shallow cuts reduce the risk of tear-out.

3.Select the router path and speed. The path and direction of each pass is best determined by the piece's final shape. Adjust the cutter speed on CNC wood router for the properties of the wood. Fine-grained hardwoods like maple burn quickly. Fast, light passes work well with this type of material. Open-grain hardwoods like oak dissipate heat rapidly. Slower, slightly heavier cuts can be made safely with these woods.

4.Save the program and test it with scrap wood on cnc wood router. Testing the initial program on a scrap piece allows you to correct mistakes in programming before you ruin an expensive piece of material.

How To Carve Wood On CNC Wood Router

How To Carve Wood On CNC Wood Router

1.  Firstly, please create program on the software, such as AutoCAD software, then output the suitable program format with program edit software, such as Type3, ArtCAM, AlphaCam etc. Then set the tool path, choose cutter, set spindle rpm in the program edit software. After this done, then output the program to the machine control unit

2. Now mount on cnc wood router bits or drill to the spindle collet, hold tightly, or else it will come out may hurt operator if you do not make it tightly.

3. Now we lift the material to working table, fixing it by clamp or vacuum system. Move it to see if it is fixed tightly. Then operate on cnc wood router control system to move the spindle head to the home point. This homepoint is the position that you want the spindle start working.

4. After setting home point for x, y and z, then turn on spindle, press start working. Please notice that when you start working, please start with lower feeding speed rate, then speed up slowly to see the right speed. In OMNI's cnc wood router control system, it can estimate the processing time and see the working path before start processing on cnc wood router. So you can have a plan and know very well for your work.

5. For wood carving, suggest you use dust collector system to collecting wood powder to cloth bag. In this way, the wood powder will not affect cnc wood router or operator or environment.

China CNC Router Cut Plexiglass Or Acrylic

China CNC Router Cut Plexiglas Or Acrylic

When you cut Plexiglas and acrylic ,the bits you should choose single or double flute bit for China cnc router. This bit shape is special designed for Plexiglas and acrylic cutting, because it can remove the powder efficiently while cutting, and it does not stick powder, in this way, it can ensure the cutting quality.

Then you design the program in CAD software. Then you input this program to China cnc router control system with the right format which control system could read. 
Now put Plexiglas or acrylic sheet on China cnc router, then turn on vacuum pump switch to absorbing material on the working table.

Then turn on China CNC router, give command to cnc router and ask it to start the work as the program file. Before do this, you need to fix the home-point by the tool sensor offered by OMNI CNC router. 

Suggest you use dust collection system, since it can take away the acrylic powder from acrylic or Plexiglas sheet.
