Homemade DIY CNC Mill Upgrade Part 32 - Dust Hood Test V2 - Neo7CNC.com

http://www.neo7cnc.com

The cutting footage in the video is at 4x speed. I'm cutting 1/2 inch particle board at 40ipm with a 2 flute 1/8 carbide endmill at 25,000 RPM. The circles and outer profile are done with a .125 DOC and the channel for the brush strip is 1/4 DOC single step.

Your vids are always great, informative, if not adventurous. How'd you get the vacuum hose to fit snug in its hole in the dust hood, was it a slight taper or slightly undersized hole?

[radioshack7]

@togaida Thanks! The hole was 2.25 inches and the hose from the dustcollector is tapered being 2.25 at the mid point so it makes a great fit. Thanks for your comment. and take care.

Hi,

What do you call the cut just prior to the main cut. It looks like some type of ramp or spiral.

[radioshack7]

@rodjava That’s a circular lead in. It’s just a different way to lead into the main cut.

Hi,

I love your vids. Very nice :)

Where did you get that Brush Strip ? Been looking for it on ebay..

[magnumowner]

Can I tell mach 3 what end mill I am using because I would like to use mine for cutting outlines designs on plastic but also for pecking thanks

[jimisweetwood]

Clever! The way I made mine is very similar, but I have a cut through the middle crossing through both holes (2 halves). Then I run a bolt between both holes, all the way through the middle on the horizontal plane that clamps everything into place...essentially pinching the spindle and the hose at one time. Post a link here to where you got the bristles. I need new ones.

[evbunke2]

Cool vid! Yeah, definitely get yourself a nice piece of polycarb for that, it will look sweet.

It almost seems to me that depending on what you're cutting, the dust and/or chips could get stuck in those bristles, which could be a pain to clean out. That said, at the moment I can't think of a very viable alternative. :P
