CNC Crash Compilation

philf:
An interesting compilation of CNC blunders.



Of course, I've never set feed rates in meters/sec instead of mm/min or set the safe Z height too low so that the tool cuts right through a clamp!  :(

To err is human but to completely **** up you need a computer  :lol:

AdeV:
Why is it, when things start going wrong in CNC-land, the emergency stop buttons are suddenly miles away & totally inoperative before the tool has destroyed itself & send the workpiece flying?

Fingers crossed, I've only bashed one tool with the CNC mill so far, and it was sufficiently robust (and fortunately hit a metal plate & not the table) that the machine realised something was wrong & halted before it did major damage to anything.

If you aren't breaking tools, how will you ever know what you can get away with? :)

If you see something glowing red hot despite the flood coolant, hit the e-stop.  Don't ask me how I know...

What were you doing recording in my shed  :bang:
