Thank you, I felt that it's something missing in hobbyist CNC so I was excited to have something abordable and share this with my subscriber, because with an ATC you can change bits more easily and this open a bunch of new opportunity
Hi sir, I found this video very helpful. Im doing the same project as you did, but my spindle has low torque in low rpm. So, I couldn't tightly fit the collet with the spindle. So i would appreciate it if you could tell me how you manage to solve the tightening issues of the cutting but with the collet.
Thank you. with a lot of tests I figured out that about 1700rpm the collet were tighten enough. I should work, I saw, because I was filming it, that at this speed the spindle even stopped turning when the collet was engaged. I've tested the tightness and it was perfect even if the spindle stopped turning for a short while. I guess if yours is not tight enough you can try at different speed, but also you have to also modify your engage_feed_rate mine is at 2500mm/sec. They're a lot of settings to fiddle around it's long to get it to work properly, I still even change some settings, but way less than when I've installed the RapidChange. Hopefully this will help and keep me posted
After adjusting the spindle speed and the lowering the spindle at the right speed now the bits are held just at the right tightness, but it took me a little bit of trial and error to achieved this nice balance. I'm currently editing the very first project that I really used the ATC it was really nice.
This is something like what I'd like when I get a CNC. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the videos.
You're welcome
Interesting concept
Yes it is, it's also affordable for everyone without changing a lot on your setup

How did you manage with not too tight collets problem? Nice video !
