Learn DIY CNC Machining – Hobby CNC Plasma Cutter

The video tutorial series was made to take beginner to intermediate CNC hobbyists through the major steps in the CNC process. Ivan narrates each video with technical, yet easy to understand descriptions of the process along with useful personal tips from his CNC experience. Ivan’s video series starts out with the design phase, which includes all of the computer design, CAD, and CAM work. These first four video’s were released earlier in the month and now the conclusion of the project has been released with video’s 5-10 which highlight the CNC plasma cutting, grinding, and end product. If you missed the first four video’s they can be viewed at: CNC Machining

Here is a summary of video’s 5-8:

Video 5: In this video Ivan goes through Mach 3 to look over the g-code. He checks to see if we have any problems before we go to the CNC Plasma Cutter.

Video 6: Ivan heads out to the shop and do some work. He shows how he zeros out the cnc plasma cutter and starts cutting the aluminum stomp pad. Once he is done, the stomp pad gets looked over and he notes the slag or dross we will have to grind off next.

Video 7: In this video Ivan rough grinds the cnc stomp pad to remove the dross. It’s a rough grind because later we will use a DA Sander to smooth it all out.

Video 8: During this CNC Video Segment Ivan sands our CNC Stomp Pad with a Dual Action (DA) sander. The CNC Plasma Cut part then is taken over to a stand. Then Ivan starts to look at different traction spikes and how they will look.

Video 9: In this video the holes are drilled in the CNC Stomp Pad. The holes are drilled and then Ivan cleansthem out.
We bend the stomp pad while drilling and we must hammer it flat next.

Video 10:Here is the final video in the CNC Stomp Pad Tutorial Video Series. In this video, Ivan goes over the final assembly of the stomp pad. Then we watch as we used double sided tape to adhere it to the snowboard. Finally we take a look at some final photos of the CNC Stomp Pad on the Snowboard.

Refractories Information and Refractories How To Process

People who like to make their own artifacts and are enchanted with the idea of building new and useful things from scratch are sure to enjoy ‘do it yourself casting’ that can be done at home using simple methods and techniques. Many amazing things can be produced and created using you home made metal foundry and Refractories. A good understanding of some basic foundry knowledge and few simple tools can help you make metal casting at home possible. Many people find it difficult to get special parts for their cars or bikes or even find it very costly to modify their cars, house or even bikes. If you develop your hobby of metal casting, then you can easily make special parts for your cars and bikes and also will find it easy and save a lot of money. Casting can be used to make many things like, simple ornaments knobs and even handles. Hand wheels and small machinery or tools can also be made. Small articles like brass name plates, statues, vintage motorcycle and car parts, etc can also be made at home.

Refractories Furnace: This is very easy to build and even a large coffee-can Refractories will serve the purpose. This can be used to build a simple gas fired furnace.

The “2 bucks” furnace: Is not as the name suggests, the furnace can’t be built in two bucks. It refers to the design based on two buckets. It is very useful and a good experienced person can build it with a budget that is below 10 bucks. It effectively burns propane.

Flowerpot crucible furnace: This furnace can also be built very easily and most importantly, it can be built using the waste material from your back yard. All you need is an old flower pot and a few metal cans. Melt the metal cans and coat the inside of the flower pot with the melted metal Refractories and you furnace is ready.

Other types of furnaces that can be built at home are dirt and brick furnace, chimney pipe furnace and breaking metal in barbecue.

Home made Aluminum Refractories: Pulleys of different size and shapes can be made by bending aluminum rods or plates. They are very simple to make and once you get the hang of it, you’ll enjoy making them.

Building steel crucibles: Steel crucibles are a bit difficult to make. You need to cut the steel and weld it using a welder, so it is a bit risky job and can cause injuries. It needs to be done with utmost care and precaution.

Home made ladle: A ladle can be made at home using a small portion of a steel water pipe; you can select the water pipe according to your needs and then cut it in the desired dimensions to create your home made ladle.

After doing all this basic work and gathering all the required information, you can now start your own metal Refractories casting and make desired articles. You also need to make the molds of your desired shape and size and you are ready to go. All types of Refractories metals and alloys can be used and melted for home casting, only their degree of heat required varies.

The new Engraving webpage has been added to a category under miscellaneous topics. By adding this Engraving webpage Ivan has tried to expand his CNC Information website with the best and most information on CNC Internet. Members and non-members can access the new engraving webpage by visiting the following weblink at: Engraving

“Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto a hard, flat surface, by cutting grooves into it. The result may be a decorated object in itself, as when silver, gold or steel are engraved, or may provide an intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper, which are called engravings. Engraving was a historically important method of producing images on paper, both in artistic printmaking, and also for commercial reproductions and illustrations for books and magazines. It has long been replaced by photography in its commercial applications and, partly because of the difficulty of learning the technique, is much less common in printmaking, where it has been largely replaced by etching and other techniques.”

Rapid Prototyping Explained

Rapid Prototyping has become very popular in the past few years, especially its connection to CNC. Thus, Ivan Irons has just added a new section on Rapid Prototyping to his CNC Information website. This Prototyping section brings the CNC users everywhere into the latest cutting edge technology on Rapid Prototyping by providing the latest and greatest rapid prototyping information. This information can be found on Ivan’s CNC Community website and is free to the public to access at: http://www.cncinformation.com/rapid-prototyping-prototyping-cnc-prototype/.

Ivan add’s his own simplified definition of Rapid Prototyping on this webpage at http://www.cncinformation.com/rapid-prototyping-prototyping-cnc-prototype/ saying:

“Rapid prototyping takes virtual designs from computer-aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software, transforms them into thin, virtual, horizontal cross-sections and then creates each cross-section in physical space, one after the next until the model is finished. It is a WYSIWYG process where the virtual model and the physical model correspond almost identically.

With additive fabrication, the machine reads in data from a CAD drawing and lays down successive layers of liquid, powder, or sheet material, and in this way builds up the model from a series of cross sections. These layers, which correspond to the virtual cross section from the CAD model, are joined together or fused automatically to create the final shape. The primary advantage to additive fabrication is its ability to create almost any shape or geometric feature.

The standard data interface between CAD software and the machines is the STL file format. An STL file approximates the shape of a part or assembly using triangular facets. Tiny facets produce a higher quality surface. “

There are also a multitude of articles that go in-depth into Rapid Prototyping and these articles can be found at: http://www.cncinformation.com/rapid-prototyping-prototyping-cnc-prototype/.

CNC Forum Information

CNC Forum Information is just the latest topic Ivan has added to his CNC Information webpage. Although CNC Information has its own CNC Forum where users can find answers to questions on a variety of topics and post questions that have not yet been answered in the forum, Ivan has created a different CNC Forum webpage that is now released. This CNC Forum webpage is not a Computer Numerical Forum, but a CNC Forum resource that talks about things related to Forums in general and then specific CNC Forums. This forum webpage is a good resource for beginners who may have never used Forums before or who are looking for various CNC related forums that are out on the World Wide Web as we speak. Members and non-members of CNC Information have access to view this webpage at the following website address: CNC Forums

Ivan spends some time on this new CNC Forum webpage to help new users who are interested in forums to learn about forums and specifically CNC Forums. Here is an excerpt from the CNC Forum webpage located at: CNC Community

“There are a number of CNC forums out there that will give you great information about CNC. There is The CNC Forum, CNC zone, and of course this website CNC information. Inside of CNC forums, you can ask questions of other members and they will respond. In this way, a lot of CNC information is covered and available for future reference by other members. Think of it as an ongoing encyclopedia of CNC information. When you are inside of different CNC forums it is customary that you search for the answer first. If you can't find the answer to your question then you can start a new thread in a particular forum. Think of it. Wouldn't you want someone to search for the answer first before just rattling it off. Members of CNC forums continually answer the same questions because people don't take the time to search for the answer. “

Ivan will continually add information on CNC Forums as it becomes available so users should check back to the CNC Forum webpage at CNC Forums for the latest and greatest information.

About CNC Information: CNC Information is a community CNC website that brings user into a deeper understanding of CNC.

CNC Motion Control Information

Motion Control is Ivan’s latest information that he has added to his CNC Control webpage. CNC Motion Control is a webpage that was just released as is part of the last section of Ivan’s CNC Information website that deals with Computer Numerical Control. Motion Control and CNC go hand in hand. Ivan does a very good job of breaking down the topic of Motion Control, connecting it to Computer Numerical Control, and providing the end user with a good base of knowledge on the subject at hand. Members and non-members of CNC Information can go to this webpage and see for themselves the information that Ivan has provided on CNC Motion Control. The information can be found at the following webpage at CNC Information: Motion Control.

“Motion control is a sub-field of automation, in which the position and/or velocity of machines are controlled using some type of device such as a hydraulic pump, linear actuator, or an electric motor, generally a servo. Motion control is an important part of robotics and CNC machine tools, however it is more complex than in the use of specialized machines, where the kinematics are usually simpler. The latter is often called General Motion Control (GMC). Motion control is widely used in the packaging, printing, textile and assembly industries. “

Machine Tooling Information

Tooling information is the newest section on Ivan’s website that is built around a community of CNCers. This new tooling webpage is just one of 4 sections that all fall under Ivan’s “Machining” category. The other sections that join the Machine Tooling section are Machining, Milling, and Turning. This webpage that has everything a user needs to know about CNC can be found at the following webpage that is free to access no mater if you are a registered users of Ivan’s site or not. The website’s address is the following link: Machine Tooling

Here is some information that Ivan has listed on the Tooling section of the website that is located at: http://www.cncinformation.com/tooling-machine-tooling-tools/.

Ivan states, 'I alluded to the different types of machining in the previous section. There are different machining processes that are generally defined by what the machine does.

Here are a few examples:
Drilling - Drill presses, mills, hand drills, etc.
Tooling - Drill bit
Routing - Wood router, table router, edge router, etc
Tooling - Router bits
Milling - Mill, Bridgeport, 4- axis mill, 5-axis mill, vertical mill, horizontal mill, etc.
Tooling - End mills, ball mills, ballnose mills, fly cutters, etc
Plasma cutting - Plasma cutter
Tooling - Plasma torch
Cutting - Chop saw, hand saw, band saw, cold saw
Tooling - Circular blades, band type blades
Grinding - Surface grinder, grinder, Timesaver, belt grinder
Tooling - Grinding belts, grinding wheels
Turning - Metal lathe, wood lathe, mini lathe, bench top lathe, etc.
Tooling - Turning tools, parting tools, boring tools, drill bits '

New Milling Webpage

Everything on Milling whether it be Vertical Milling, Horizontal Milling, or the Bridgeport Mill can now be found on a new webpage that Ivan Irons has added his growing community CNC website. The milling webpage explains in detail the difference between horizontal milling and vertical milling along with the addition of plenty of milling articles to give the user an option for further understanding and knowledge on the topic of Milling. The Milling webpage can be viewed at: MillingHere's a glimpse of what Ivan has to say on Vertical Milling and Horizontal Milling:

'There are two main types of mill: the vertical mill and the horizontal mill. In the vertical mill the spindle axis is vertically oriented. Milling cutters are held in the spindle and rotate on its axis. The spindle can generally be extended (or the table can be raised/lowered, giving the same effect), allowing plunge cuts and drilling. There are two subcategories of vertical mills: the bedmill and the turret mill. Turret mills, like the ubiquitous Bridgeport, are generally smaller than bedmills, and are considered by some to be more versatile. In a turret mill the spindle remains stationary during cutting operations and the table is moved both perpendicular to and parallel to the spindle axis to accomplish cutting. In the bedmill, however, the table moves only perpendicular to the spindle's axis, while the spindle itself moves parallel to its own axis. Also of note is a lighter machine, called a mill-drill. It is quite popular with hobbyists, due to its small size and lower price. These are frequently of lower quality than other types of machines, however. ' A user can read plenty of more information on Milling and the various types of mills and the features and benefits of those mills at: http://www.cncinformation.com/mill-milling-machine-bridgeport-mill/.
