Just Getting Better

The parts breaking seem to be behind me for now. I have run several very long 3D projects with no qualms from the HB2. It has just been rolling along doing it thing at fairly high speed (at least to me).

I have increased the MACH3 frequency to 60,000 Hz and now been able to run the steppers as high as 200 fpm (1000 rpm on the steppers) but not reliably. My rapids are now set at 150 IPM and that is as good as I’ll probably need. I was running the roughing at 100 IPM and the 2 hour finish passes were running at 70 IPM. Working just fine.

Ahhh… Life is good!
