Playing with the accuracy settings on the machine control can also have a huge impact on actual cycle time. If the machine is struggling to get up to speed, especially on roughing passes, loosening the machine settings will make a huge difference. Just have to make sure you leave enough stock that it doesn't gouge the part.

On the Brother Spedio's I work with, M284 specifies "high accuracy mode" which will run much more slowly with the same code than the "normal" or "low" accuracy modes. The accuracy values of each mode can usually be adjusted in the machine parameters. Your machines will likely have a different mcode or method of specifying the accuracy mode.

I gotta be real careful what I monkey with on the new router. She's still got less than 100 hours on it. I've already had a few questions for tech support where they told me "technically, yes. But, say goodbye to your warranty"

My machine is proprietary everything. It runs in an environment and I never see the actual code that controls anything. Its a super kick ass machine.
For processing cabinet parts.
Theres cheaper options, easier to repair options. But these are stellar CNC's for what I do.

Alright team. Need some help here. Have had a leak in my FJ60 radiator for a while. Of course I am tackling this weeks before SAS. What is the smart thing to do here? Pull the radiator and have a shop fix the leak or buy a new one, OR do nothing

Thanks!

Factory radiators are discontinued. City Racer offers a replacement. I think they are around 600 bucks.

If there Is a "real" radiator shop in your area they may be able to repair it or re-core it.
I recently had the radiator in my BJ74 repaired by a great local shop. It ran about 200 bucks.
The very last thing you want to do is overheat a 2F.

Thank you! Already pulling her out and will see what I can manage. Have a few local shops that I think can do the job. Thanks!

no donkeys or horses last year or this year. The area will be future tent sites.

We camped by the horses our first year, SAS5. It wasn't bad at all. It was somewhere in the T31-T34 area.

Fantastic, thank you!
