Hello all… I continue my learning process but had to take a break for personal reasons. I am trying to cut bamboo with a MySweetie 4540 but it drops to the bamboo, takes a few movements, and stops…
Can someone please give me an idea of what I am doing wrong?
i contacted the manufacturer and they said there should be no problem cutting bamboo.
Are you using Easel? Did you set up the machine for an aftermarket Router? Are you using a GRBL post processor if you are not using Easel? Does the machine respond to jogging normally? Did you check the Grbl settings?
Without these answers I might save the gcode from Easel to a PC with an SD card and try it with the offline controller.
I am using Easel Pro and set it up as a MySweetie 3018 Max (tried to set it up as a MySweetie Other with the parameters but no joy. Once it stops it won’t do anything so I have to shut down Easel and restart. It acts like it’s hitting a limiter switch but it’s nowhere near them.
Trying to cut a piece of oak now and it appears to be working (I hope).
Is is possible I am using the wrong bit? Not sure how to choose a bit and couldn’t find much online
