Correct.
If you are cutting so deeply that the machine has difficulty w/ it, it’s best to offset by endmill diameter plus 10% and cut as a pocket down to tab height or the penultimate pass.
I have made no changes to depth feed or speeds
It’s the vacuum attached to the sweepy! How jacked up is that I apparently can not run dust collector with this system. I have to stand and hold the hose.
If you have difficulty installing and arranging the Sweepy so that it doesn’t interfere, please contact us at support@carbide3d.com and send us a photo of how it’s installed and we will do our best to assist.
I have no issue putting an acrylic casing around a spindle. Apparently the system has an issue with the static or some feedback from the dust collector and can’t function as it should.
All I can say is that you shouldn’t have to stand by this for 3 hours because of this!
And before it starts , this isn’t a user error. If it runs fine with me standing holding the vacuum right beside the spindle then it should run fine with the sweepy thing attached.
Btw, I don’t mean to sound rude or ungrateful but I’m just a bit frustrated.
Thanks all
For some reason, probably from one of the many discussions on static build up with dust collection systems, I connected a wire from the spindle mount, to the z carriage. Between that, and using a static dissipating vacuum hose, I haven’t had a disconnect.

After examining my machine, the ground wire was for the Bitrunner I installed. I assume that the ground circuit would continue on through the Bitrunner, to my main circuit breaker.
