If Axiom doesn't supply a machine that works with English units, then I will just have to get used to one of the other dozens of CNC router manufacturers that do. Oh wait, I already did.
I use the Pro 8 system and it has served me very well. The hand held controller is the same model of the Laguna IQ table model machine. The machine is very reliable and you will be glad to have it. My only complaint after two years is that I need a bigger machine for what my business requires. I build furniture and cabinets and am now looking to buy a 4x8 machine made in the USA by Legacy Woodworking Machinery in Utah. It is a five axis machine that I taught CNC machining as a vocational Instructor. I also taught G-code as well. However, you will enjoy the Pro 6. If you are like me, My wife has to threaten me to come in for a meal as have too much fun with mine.
My AR6 should arrive in a few days, I used to use a big ShopBot, and more recently a small Iconic (don’t buy one). I was just looking through the manual, it’s not very clear, but is spindle speed set manually and not read from the job file? Seems odd for a machine of the this size/price. Obviously not a deal-breaker, but odd.
Anyone have a link to a reliable speeds/feeds chart for use on the AR machine?
Thanks for assistance.
Delayed reply and you have likely figured this out by now, but to answer your question. Yes the speed needs to be set manually, and the software can only turn the spindle on and off. the know on the remote display for the VFD on the front of the control box controls the speed. It displays in HZ which is useless. There is a way to change it to RPM in 1k increments which is way better. Mine is set up that way but I cant recall how my dealer did it. Some searching may yield a result, it involves changing the parameters of the VFD itself. Enjoy your Axiom!!
