I am making a series of knife handles from high compressed wood.

Ready to use after 4-axis milling, only the butt need to be cut off.

Needs 40 min with 6000rpm, would be faster with a high speed spindle.

my cheap little mill runs without problems, Acorn and 4.99 beta software. 16h shift with 6000rpm, only short stops for changing work-pieces and still running perfectly Will not get higher than 45°C, original only build for 2250 rpm Can not complain about reliability with Acorn running short vector 4...

Is this a 40 watt version? I do not see that one available. Also I am looking to get clean cuts in .125" plexi. Have you tried that yet. Just curious. Thank you Bill No only cheap 10W, Lasertree have max 30W 6 diode laser modules. Good addon is a laser honeycomb. .125" plexi works clean w...

Any Centroid CNC with PWM output can control a laser

Checked it out, on my mill I do not notice a difference between 4.82 / 499R6-R7 how the WMPG performs.

For my taste Quick Response fits best.

As the title states, I'm noticing that MPG motion is not as smooth with beta6. I usually set it for balanced response, but notice it with all settings. For lack of better description, is seems a bit pulsy or jerky. Most noticeable in 10x. Going back to the release appears to be better. It's a CWP-4...

Nice models if you are planning the enclosure in 3D
