    Water concentration in air in terms of PPMV

    Thank you very much for your answer. I am currently doing an experiment where I try to determine the water concentration in a dry air / water vapor mixture. I am measuring a "parameter" and I want to link the values of this parameter to the water concentration inside my system. I work in a...

    Water concentration in air in terms of PPMV

    I am trying to find the water concentration in ppmv of an air mixture and determine the effect of lowering the total pressure of the mixture on this water concentration. Firstly, I would like to know if the formulas used to find the ppmv value are correct. Here's my procedure: Working...

    End Mill Jamming in Aluminum during CNC milling Attempts

    So here how it looks like: There is 17.5mm between the end of the tool and the toolholder. I have noticed when my end mill was totally jammed inside my workpiece that it was no longer tight and fixed inside the collet. I could lift my Z axis and the end mill would not follow.

    End Mill Jamming in Aluminum during CNC milling Attempts

    Concerning the machine, it is indeed the http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Mini-Wood-Router-China-CNC-Machine_1257750803.html. So I tried another milling operation with 4500 rpm. The damn thing stop and the fuse blew after about 3 seconds. During my first two attempts, I did get pretty...

    End Mill Jamming in Aluminum during CNC milling Attempts

    I just bought a Chinese 3040 230W engraving CNC machine and have recently been struggling with milling operations on aluminium as you can see on my previous forum posts. I am trying to cut through a 4.3 mm thick aluminium box with a TiN coated carbide 2 flutes 42degree end mill with the...

    Newbie - Need Feedback on my first CNC Milling attempt

    I just bought a small three-axis Chinese CNC machine, the 3040Z-DQ. I have no experience with CNC milling or any other machining operations. I am trying to cut a 0.56 in (14.3 mm) by 0.52 in (13.3 mm) rectangular profile through a 1/20 in (1.27 mm) aluminium plate. I am not sure which type of...

    Problems with my new Chinese CNC

    So slowing down the max speed did help but the motor still seems to skip (1-2 times per X or Y passes). As mcgyvr mentioned, I think it just masks the problem.

    Problems with my new Chinese CNC

    Thank you guys for your help. They are indeed step motors. I've followed the Mach3 configuration from the manual but I suspect that additional tweaking is required. I'll try to slow down the motors and keep you guys posted.

    Problems with my new Chinese CNC

    I just bought a Chinese 3040Z-DQ 230W Four Axis Ball Screw CNC and followed the instruction from the manual to configure the machine with Mach3. I started testing the machine with simple X Y Z commands using Mach3 and my keyboard and noticed some really rough noise and experienced motor...
