Great work.

At the end of your video, it looks like there is a VFD next to the MPCNC, am I seeing that correctly? Are you using this to run the Dewalt? Or is it part of another machine in your shop? Please tell us more if it’s part of the MPCNC. Or maybe there is another thread on the topic?
Thx

Chris, that’s a bench power supply which I’m using to power my stepper drivers. Here’s an earlier photo of some of the electronics:

OK, I can envision it all now, thanks!

I was getting a little excited I guess …

So many gems tucked away within this forum.

Anyone able to recommend/share trochoidal sheet metal cutting settings (EstlCam?) they’re happy with for their LR/MPCNC?

Waiting on down cut bit to arrive, in the meantime will try cheapo flat end mill bit on some 30 gauge sheet metal from HomeDepot…

Edit: Thanks again for this topic. Helped me cut sheet metal for my MP3DP v4 rear panel, used cheapo flat end mill bit. Didn’t want to use/waste the $17 downcut bit on this cut.
