In this video, I’m documenting the assembly, installation, and alignment of an Avid CNC Rotary Axis for my Avid 4848 Pro CNC Router. I’ll first show you the assembly of the rotary axis. Then I’ll show you how I removed my old spoilboard, mounted the axis to my machine frame, then walk you through the process for aligning the axis with the machine frame step by step.
As usual, if you have any comments or questions about anything I covered in this video, please join me for the Live Q&A, or put ‘em in the comment section below.

    Thanks Mark, great video! Does it make sense to cut and pour all of the colors after clear layer before pouring the black? In other words, by cutting the other colors first, are you left with the black so it does not need to be cut in a tool path? I'm doing a multi-color epoxy project and the black in my design sees like it would be easier to not tool path the black because I would need to add closed vectors specifically for the black. Interested in your thoughts...Thanks Again!

      This video was the last part of a 4-part series on doing this epoxy inlay. Here's a link to the playlist (you can skip the live streams if you'd like.) ua-cam.com/play/PLLuYLaC3-QRNkO3ZIYnEzTb32mn-_AE-J.html I explain all of my reasoning behind the order of the colors being poured in those videos. The short version is, pouring a color over black will mute that color. Sometimes make it so dark it's almost impossible to see. That's why I did the black last.

    Thank you Mark. I did see (and learn) how to save the tool paths. Since you opened a new blank file to create the clock face, and now you have saved the tool paths to a jump drive do you also save the Vetric file? Maybe you show that in the next video.?? I still can’t believe how good your videos are. I feel like I’m in school learning - you are a very good teacher. I thank you for that!!!!

    • @MarkLindsayCNC

      I didn't show it in the video, but yes - you do save the Vectric file as well. FYI. I'm in the process of recording new versions of this series, using the newer version of the software (V12.0) A lot of things have changed since I made this series 6 years ago, so I figured this was the perfect time for an update. The first video will be coming soon!

    Oh, Mark. I watch so many CNC tutorials. You are the bomb. You and Garrett are my top picks. In this particular video, you LITERALLY addressed questions the moment they came to mind as I watched. Some have said you take to long. I think your style is perfect. So thorough, which helps anyone new to this journey. Thank you so very much, sir. I was trying to figure out how to mount a flat slab to a house with vinyl siding. 4 inch reveal, 7/16" step. Wanted the back of the sign to match the zig zag shape of the siding and sit flush. Thought about a fluting tool path. Long story short, you gave me a new path to machine this. Thanks!

      I think 2-sided machining was introduced in Version 9 or 9.5, but I would encourage you to update to Version 12. There are so many other tools that have been added along the way, you're really working with stone age tech by sticking with V4.5.

    Hi Mark, if one were to take a piece on and off the table to do epoxy pours would you need to set-up work offsets or can you just manually re-establish the xy coordinates? Thanks!

    • @MarkLindsayCNC
      @MarkLindsayCNC 9 днів тому

      Strictly speaking, you can do this without work offsets. You just have to be very precise when you set your X, Y, and Z zero. The work offset just makes that process a lot easier. Once you've established the work offset and save it, you should be able to go back to that work offset repeatedly. The epoxy inlay of the cartoon pirate I did videos on is the perfect example. It was 15 colors, poured over the course of 6 days. I took the project off the table and poured the epoxy in my house, as it's climate controlled. Each day, I took the project back outside, homed my CNC, remounted the project, then went back to that work offset. I never set my X Y zero a single time. I only had to set my Z zero for each bit I used on that day's carve. The project came out perfect. Here's a link to the final video in that mini-series, in which I carved and poured the inlays, then surfaced and finished the project. ua-cam.com/video/u2A9L4b7VWU/v-deo.html Again - I never set my X Y zero a single time. I just homed the machine, went to that work offset, set my Z zero, then started carving.

Well it has holes in it for where the cutters fit into and fixing holes to the cnc table, I have never done a 3D before but this one made it a lot easier to understand. I have just upgraded to VCarve12 so working out what is different is a bit of a challenge. Cheers.

    By chance, I just received my 4th axis from Avid earlier in the week. This video goes a long way in removing some anxiety and dread about setting things up. I should get a torque wrench. What is the torque suggested for extrusion? You are an easy-to-listen-to teacher and your videos are clean and void of fluff - a testament to your editing.

    • @MarkLindsayCNC
      @MarkLindsayCNC Місяць тому

      I do appreciate your kind words, but I think my editing needs a lot of work. Just my opinion, but thank you again. I'd say 99.999% of people don't bother with a torque wrench. They just snug it up and move on. Avid themselves suggest that. I spent too much time in the army working on helicopters to not have at least a suggested torque value, but that's just me. I spoke with the folks at 8020, and they recommend a torque of 15-18 ft lbs., but DO NOT go past 20 ft lbs. Basically, if you tighten it until it's tight, you'll be fine.

      Assuming the dish is a 3D model you're carving before you carve the text, you set the Z zero to the material surface the same as you would if you were carving into the surface of the material. In the V-Carve Engraving toolpath, check the box next to Project onto 3D Model when you calculate that toolpath. The software will do the rest.
