24K RPM Spindle Test.
Could be the quality of the video, but that looks more like 23,900RPM to me.
itās sitting on a plastic table with the lid closed. Could that explain the missing 100 RPM?
Oh Yeah that explains it.
I was counting how many times the pulley set screws went past. Guess I missed a few.
Sexy little machine.
Runout Test
Iām new to CNC so Iām not 100% sure if Iām doing this correctly.
Awesome - now Iām really itching to get mine in! I got my order in at 10:03 and am still waiting for it to ship.
You can put the tip of a DTI at a 90 degree angle and then stick it straight up into the collet, thatās how Iād measure what youāre measuring.
But I think itās best to measure runout as a whole system: put a collet in, stick a cylindrical thing in it (like a steel pin or an endmill) and then measure the deviation as you rotate the cylinder (the shank, if youāre using an endmill).
The second video has an endmill. But I will try one again. This time a longer one or stick one in reverse and test the longer shank in multiple points. But then again, Iām still happy with what I got.
I wouldnāt reverse an endmill ā might damage the cutting edges ā get a gage pin or a precision ground tooling blank if you donāt want flutes.
Got it ! Thank you. Please excuse my newbeeness.
I must have missed it, but what was the extra thing that they shipped with the Nomad? That secret thingy. Did it turn out to be a sticker of Rob?
I asked about it. they said they will ship the extra part when itās ready. And yes they are keeping it a secret
Definitely a sticker. Or something good. But if the good thing doesnāt work, they have stickers to save (Robās) faceā¦ (as in the face is on the stickerā¦ joke, not insult)
I bet itās something very useful but optional. I canāt wait for them to announce it. The suspense is too much.
Congratulations! Nice to see one has escaped the confines of C3D and made it into the wild.
Baby steps
Just curious, did you get an email with shipping info prior to receiving? Ordered mine day oneā¦still nothing?
Thanks and congrats!
Please check in w/ sales@carbide3d.com and theyāll let you know about your order specifics.
Iām so jealous! Placed my order by 10:04 on day one and no shipment notice yet. Iāve called, emailed, and got generic answers ā30 days or lessā.
Congrats to you!
