We're running a bit behind on the library, but I believe we'll get it released in the next week or two!

That's correct! It's a three-axis mill.

The horizontal orientation was chosen due to the improved rigidity it affords. It is a little more difficult to see the work surface during operation than with a vertical mill, but you absolutely are able to look down from above and see it - plus, we have a mirrored chip shield on the spindle that also makes it easy to see how the cut is going.

This thing has one main job, if you know you know

It's absolutely newbie friendly! Upon launch we will be releasing a comprehensive education platform that will teach you how to run the mill and how to write custom code for it. I believe it is the most newbie-friendly desktop CNC available.

All milling machines are newbie friendly. You learn as you go, and have nothing to lose but your fingers. Seriously, watch out for little kids, long hair, floppy clothes. and fingers, fingers, oops there goes another one, fingers. Rotating machinery is inherently unsafe, but so are other, simpler tools. Remember that day you got yourself while trying to cut a piece of wood with a knife or a chisel. Or the lesson you learned when first trying to ride a horse. The designers will include a substantial amount of cautionary material. You will be well advised to READ and UNDERSTAND everything before you even think about turning it on. You already own the most important safety device, located between your ears.

Imagine setting one foot in a lawless low-iq state.

Blame Kommifornia & their "laws"

it's overprieced... especially with those guide rods and this motor.. definitelly overpriced

I noticed that instantly

Gently and slowly :) Actually the mill cuts aluminum dry really well, it produces great chips at a good rate. Steel and titanium, of course, require gentler toolpaths, but those can also be run dry.

We'll have a video detailing this someday! For now, a short description: a crproj file is simply a zip file that's been renamed from ".zip" to ".crproj". Inside the zip file is a well-defined folder structure containing images, g-code files, and a "manifest" file that defines each step in the set of steps, including title, description, which image (if any) to display and which g-code file (if any) to run on that step. Right now we create our crproj files manually, but at some point we'll have a software builder to help with this.

You guessed correctly! The software in this example knows to compensate for the edgefinder radius. More specifically, the cutcode that I am running here has previously told us which edgefinder to use, and so subsequent steps can safely assume that we are using an edgefinder with a particular radius. At 7:17, when I click "next" and it tells us that it's going to run some gcode behind the scenes, the gcode the software is running to record the zero is written to compensate for that known radius.

More dangerous then using a manual mill without an enclosure, and spraying coolant on the part being cut?

It is for sale now at coastrunner.net!

@@CoastRunnerCNC whats the largest working volume of part the machine can produce?
