Spindle Choose for CNC Wood Router

Spindle Choose for CNC Wood Router
Spindle is the important part for cnc wood router. The spindle quality effect processing speed and accuracy directly. So it is rather important that choosing high quality spindle on cnc wood router. 
1. If you value processing efficiency, requires high speed and big engagement of cutting edge, such as solid wood etc, you need spindle power equal or bigger than 3kw. 
2. CNC wood router requires spindlw with high accuracy bearing. If it is not, then the spindle will be over heating after long time high speed rotation, then the lifttime will be shortened. OMNI use high quality spindle with high accuracy bearing in spindle, and also offer LED screen for spindle of cnc wood router temprature measure. And it could show you the spindle temprature obviously, tell you may spindle need rest if it works rather long time.
3. Check cnc wood router rotating sound if normal at different speed.
4. Check if spindle radial direction is forced. This is for checking if could cut hard material at high speed. Some spindles only can cut hard material at lower speed, if adjust to high speed, spindle may lost rotate, after using for some period, may lost accracy or even broken.

The Design Made by CNC Wood Router

We see more and more organic and natural inspiration in designer furniture pieces. The surrounding environment is re-imagined in many new furniture designs, one of which is the Ocean’s Edge Table. According to its designer, America-based Tyson Atwell, the new dining table ” is part of an ongoing body of work utilizing a CNC wood router to digitally sculpt oceanic waveforms moving across planar wood surfaces”. With experiments utilizing new technologies and designers composing new ideas, the design game is about to change very soon.
Imagine how it would be to dine at a table that rises out of and dips back in to shape – an undulating tabletop reminiscent of the curves naturally exhibited by water. The tabletop speaks the language of modern design molded after a sequence of tide curves sourced from the entrance of the San Francisco Bay. This beautiful representation of a still moment in time will accompany you during many dinners with family and friends, creating a fascinating atmosphere.

How To Handle Solid Wood Smoking While CNC Wood Router Processing

When cnc wood router process the solid wood, there is smoking from solid wood, what can we do?

Some times, may has such smoking issue happened on cnc wood router when it process wood, such as MDF, solid wood etc. How to solve this problem? What cutters are suitable for cuttting such wood? What spindle speed we should set?

1. firstly what you should consider is to remove the wood powder in time while processing; And when you set the tool path, should make the tool path for several layers according to cnc wood router cutter size and cutting depth.

2. Suggest multi-blade circular milling cutter to cut solid wood. Size could be 6mm, cuttig at 3-4 times for powder removing quickly. Material of cutter can be tungsten steel material.

3. In the process of cutting wood, suggest to use comparessing air for cooling down cutters and removing powder.

4. If cutting depth is deep, suggest slower rotating speed and feeding speed, orelse will wear cutters easily.

Also, we suggest every customer who use cnc wood router for wood processing to get dust collecting system.

How To Engrave With CNC Wood Router?

How To Engrave With CNC Wood Router?

 How to Engrave With a CNC Wood Router
By Wade Shaddy, eHow Contributor
Learning how to hand engrave with a router can be very rewarding. Freehand engraving yields results that last forever. All you need is a small hand router. Draw your pattern on a piece of wood and establish your lines. Follow them with a router and a small engraving bit. Because you don't use guides to follow your patterns, it gives your engravings a custom, hand carved look. It's easy, fun and it's even safer than engraving with a knife. A popular grape-leaf pattern is traditional and easy to find, and is a good place to start.

Things You'll Need
Small hand router, 1/4-inch capacity
Router bit, 1/4-inch flute
2 wrenches that came with router
Pencil
Pattern
Pine, 6-by-24-by-3/4-inch
Grape leaf pattern
Scissors
2 hand clamps, 12-inch
1Download a grape leaf pattern of your choice and print it out. Cut out the pattern with scissors.

2Trace the pattern onto the pine. Clamp the pine to the edge of a worktable.

3Insert the flute bit into the router and tighten the retaining nut using the wrenches. Loosen the depth of cut adjustment on the side of the router and slide the router base so that 1/4 inch of the bit extends out the bottom of the router base. Tighten the depth of cut knob.

4Plug in the router. Hold the router base in both hands, position it over the pine. Reach up with your thumb and turn the cnc wood router on.

5Position the tip of the bit over the pencil lines and lower the bit into the wood. Let the sides of your palms on both hands rest on the wood as you hold the router between your hands.

6Begin following the lines, like you would with a large pen sliding the router along slowly as you trace over the pencil lines, letting the bit cut the design with the tip of the bit. Trace the entire design.

Tips & Warnings
Test the depth of your cut on a piece of scrap wood, or the back of your piece of pine before starting to engrave. When finished engraving, use a small piece of folded sandpaper to remove any feathered edges of the engraving lines.

Always wear safety glasses when working with wood. Make sure your router is turned off when you plug it in.

What You Must Know Before Working On PCB

What You Must Know Before Working On PCB

What you must know before working on PCB by CNC wood router

There are many ways for working on PCB. Here inttroduce working on PCB by CopperCam software. We use Gerber file transfer to G code which can be used on router cnc.
Here you must notice that, the first step working on PCB is drilling, not engraving. 
1. Drilling
2. Engraving lines and milling edge of PCB
3. Milling redundant copper layer
4. Cutting outline of PCB

Why we should drill firstly? If we engrave line and mill edge of PCB, it will cause such a problem: It will creat a force which causing land dropping when the driller rolling at high speed, this is a unignore problem.So we suggest drill first.

Still Using Twin-Adhensive To Fix PCB On Working Table? Out!

Still Using Twin-Adhensive To Fix PCB On Working Table? Out!

How to fix PCB on CNC wood router working table?
Are you a PCB workshop owner? How you fix PCB on CNC router working table? By twin adhensive? by clamp? After using adhensive, it is rather not eady to remove the adhensive, right? Well, if you use clamp, and 
when the PCB size is not small, then the middle section of PCB may can not fixed tightly, and cause lower resolution?

Today, OMNI suggest a good solution for PCB processing.  We use No.67 spray adhensive with 3M brand.
1. Clean the dust from PCB back and working table. Then spray out the No.67 adhensive to PCB back and leave the PCB for several min. 
2. Ensure working table is even, put PCB on table, start engraving and drilling.
3. NO.67 adhensive can be used repeatly for several days. So for next PCB, then still use it. If the back of PCB is with a little adhensive after processed by router cnc, then use 3M orange detergent to clean it. 

Comparation About Cutters And Processing Material

Comparation About Cutters And Processing Material

 For cheaper acrylic, we try different feeding speed, different spindle rolling speed on cheap acrylic drilling, the drilling result is ok, but the acrylic powder easily sticks cutter and melted, then causing cnc wood routercutter broken.


 For expensive acrylic, 8000 rpm is no problem for it, the acrylic hole edge is smooth, and the powder is not easy to stick cutter. It is also faster for powder removing, 
drilling hole resolution is higher, and no acrylic melt appearance.

The cheaper 2.0 single edge milling cutter, powder removing capability is just ok. But the edge of work have to be improved.

 High quality single edge 2.0 milling cutter, the cutting edge is smooth, no need for re-work again, like made by mould.

CNC Router/Router CNC/CNC Wood Router Purchasing Tips

CNC Router/Router CNC/CNC Wood Router Purchasing Tips

CNC Router/Router CNC/CNC Wood Router Purchasing Tips:

1. Identifying what is main work using CNC wood router. CNC router manufactures classify cnc routers for several purpose, this is for meeting different processing material. It is wasty 
if you works on double corlor board by cnc router for mould, or engraves stamp by large size laser engraving machine. And also it is un-affordable to works on the mould by the cnc router for 
adversiting purpose. So please let sales person to know that your mainly work, including the workpiece size, material characteristics, thickness, weight, engraving or cutting result and other requirement 
etc for getting a product satisfying, which could creat considerable benefit.

2. Choose suitable model
For smaller sign shop, considering mainly works on acrylic letters, double color board, chest card etc, should buy an advertising grade. And if you mainly cut acrylic letters, suggest choose spindle  power 
bigger than 800w. Orelse, it will speed up bearing wear, lost resolution if using smaller power spindle work for heavy duty job. Generally, if you only engrave double color board, suggest using working size less than 
600mm, if you also cut big board, then choose the right size cnc router. If you works on cylindrical material or other unusual shape, then, you may need to mount on some frock clamp or rotary attachment. And this 
requires longer z axis travelling size. 

3. Try making sample before placing order
For ensuring that your order is 100% suitable for your work. Better confirm that machine made your work before, or has the similar working sample. OMNI sales engineer confirm your workpiece with technicians, and 
also could show our former sample work for customer. Also now, for the special purpose cnc router, OMNI will test the machine by doing the same workpiece with customer, for ensuring customers could use it perfectly.

4. Sign Contract Or Getting Proforma Invoice
In the contract or PI, we must be clear about the cnc wood router model, configuration, pricelist, delivery term, payment term etc. 

5. Delivery And Training
Before dispatching, workshop workers will recheck conformity between machine and productionr requirement, count the spare parts, and usually cnc router will be working no stop for 72 hours for ensuring machine
works with good condition. OMNI have agents in some countries, and could offer training and machine installation at site. And also OMNI could assign technician go for training for those countries without agents. 

6. Guarantee And After Sales Service
