{{Stub}}

Asmbly recently acquired a Laguna Swift Vacuum CNC router. It uses the same software and workflow as the [[Laguna iQ CNC]], but with a 5'x10' vacuum table work surface.

Cutting fluids are not permitted to be used on the woodshop CNC machines including the Laguna Swift and Laguna IQ CNCs.

Cutting of soft metals, such as aluminum and brass, is permitted on the Laguna Swift and Laguna IQ CNCs. Please be sure to clean the machine thoroughly to ensure all chips are cleared from the gantry and ways.

Hard metals like steel and cast iron are not permitted to be cut on the woodshop CNCs.

{{Required|Intro to CNC Routers}}
{{ToolPhoto|LagunaSwift.jpg}}

The Laguna Swift CNC has a 3hp continuous-duty liquid-cooled spindle and a 5' x 10' vacuum hold-down worktable.

It's equipped with a 4th-axis kit for turning workpieces up to 4" in diameter.

This should serve as a reference on how to properly finish up your CNC session. Please pay special attention to #6 and #7.

# Take out bit. Remove/return nut and collet to toolbox.
# Turn off workholding vacuum, remove hold-downs, vacuum spoilboard, use chisel to flatten bumps
# Use vacuum/broom to clean around machine. Don’t use airgun to just blow it away!
# Sign out of Vcarve and the browser. Return shared USB drive to toolkit
# Shut down machine using procedure on laminated sheet
# Empty Dust Collector Barrel and Bag (if present)
# Clean DC Filter. (Big CNC - Rotate the handle).
# Return/organize/close CNC toolboxes
# Post cool pictures of your project on Discourse to encourage other members and build community

==Filter Cleaning Steps==
These are required after every use and should take no more than 10 seconds.

* Rotate the handle on the filter.
* Hear the flaps flapping
* See the dust dropping

Laguna Swift Vacuum CNC Rotary - Fusion Setup

2026-06-07T18:15:19Z

Atwatsoniii:

=Fusion Setup=
==WCS==
The work coordinate system X axis must be along the rotary axis center.
[[File:Fusion Rotary WCS Setup.png|none|thumb]]

==Machine Type==
Pick "Autodesk Generic 4-axis (A Table)"

[[File:Fusion_Machine_Library_4Axis.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Fusion_Machine_Library_4Axis.png]]
==Post==
Download the following post: https://github.com/atwatsoniii/AsmblyLagunaRotary/blob/main/Fusion/Laguna_IQ_Turner_Asmbly.cps

In the Fusion CAM workspace, go to '''Manage → Post Library → Local'''. Click the import button at the top. Select Laguna_IQ_Turner that was downloaded from above. You can now use this post in your NC programs as normal. Units must be in millimeters, just like the normal Laguna post.
==Toolpaths==
===Multi-Axis Menu===
This requires the machining extension. Rotary Parallel is good for a lot of cases. It can do any kind of complex geometry. In the multi-axis tab, make sure that Rotary Axis is "Setup X axis", and Rotary Origin is "Setup WCS Origin".
[[File:Fusion MultiAxis Rotary Settings.png|none|thumb]]

In the passes tab, there are options for how the rotary passes are done:
[[File:Fusion Rotary Passes Options.png|none|thumb]]
===Rotary Pattern===
Does not require the machining extension. This is an indexing operation, inside of which you can use 2D toolpaths. Start the pattern by selecting Pattern from the Setup menu.
[[File:Fusion Circular Pattern Setup.png|none|thumb]]
Under the pattern operation you can add 2D toolpaths:
[[File:Fusion Pattern Toolpath Browser.png|none|thumb]]
===Wrapped 2D===
This takes a normal 2D toolpath and wraps it around a cylinder. A limitation is the toolpath cannot go all the way around and meet where it began. It either must be a spiral or slot of some sort. Only certain 2D operations support wrap.
[[File:Fusion Wrap Machining Type.png|none|thumb]]
=Machine Setup=
==Position Rotary==
Position the Rotary along the X axis. Use the dog holes to make sure the Rotary is aligned to the X axis. Secure using screws.

Plug in the rotary into the receptacle which is on the side of the control box close to the floor.
[[File:Rotary Positioned On Machine.png|none|thumb]]
==Rotary Controls==
The rotary axis is referred to as either the "C" or "A" axis on the control. Use "C" on the control to move the rotary axis. To zero the rotary axis, select "ZC→0" and select "A".
==Workholding==
For workholding, you can turn a tenon on your stock and grab the stock in the chuck. There are internal and external chuck jaws to handle various stock sizes. There is also a faceplate, which you can secure to your workpiece using screws. If you do this, make sure you will not machine into the area where the screws are.
[[File:Rotary Machining In Progress.png|none|thumb]]
==Clearance==
Install the tool bit and verify clearance. Make sure that the bit can clear the highest parts of the rotary — usually the faceplate or the belt.
[[File:Rotary Clearance Check.png|none|thumb]]
==Zeroing==
===XY Axis Zero===
Align Y axis to the centerline on your part. Ideally use a tool bit with a point for accuracy. If not accurate, your machined diameters will be oversized.

Move to your X axis zero on your part. When selecting this, take care that the toolpath will not hit the chuck, faceplate, or center.

Press "XY→0".
===Z Axis Zero===
The Z zero should be set up to be the middle of the chuck. This is 65mm from the metal base of the rotary.

First, use the Z-touch to touch off the base:
[[File:Rotary Z Touch Off Base.png|none|thumb]]
[[File:B5X Controller Z65mm.png|none|thumb]]

Then, move the Z axis to 65mm, and zero the Z axis.
===C / A Axis Zero===
Use the C buttons to rotate the axis to your desired start point, if needed. Zero by using "ZC→0" and select the A axis.

[[File:Fusion_Wrap_Machining_Type.png|446px|link=Special:FilePath/Fusion_Wrap_Machining_Type.png]]
=Machine Setup=
==Position Rotary==
Position the Rotary along the X axis. Use the dog holes to make sure the Rotary is aligned to the X axis. Secure using screws.

Plug in the rotary into the receptacle which is on the side of the control box close to the floor.

[[File:Rotary_Positioned_On_Machine.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Positioned_On_Machine.png]]
==Rotary Controls==
The rotary axis is referred to as either the "C" or "A" axis on the control. Use "C" on the control to move the rotary axis. To zero the rotary axis, select "ZC→0" and select "A".
==Workholding==
For workholding, you can turn a tenon on your stock and grab the stock in the chuck. There are internal and external chuck jaws to handle various stock sizes. There is also a faceplate, which you can secure to your workpiece using screws. If you do this, make sure you will not machine into the area where the screws are.

[[File:Rotary_Positioned_On_Machine.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Positioned_On_Machine.png]]

[[File:Rotary_Machining_In_Progress.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Machining_In_Progress.png]]
==Clearance==
Install the tool bit and verify clearance. Make sure that the bit can clear the highest parts of the rotary — usually the faceplate or the belt.

[[File:Rotary_Clearance_Check.png|442px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Clearance_Check.png]]
==Zeroing==
===XY Axis Zero===
Align Y axis to the centerline on your part. Ideally use a tool bit with a point for accuracy. If not accurate, your machined diameters will be oversized.

Move to your X axis zero on your part. When selecting this, take care that the toolpath will not hit the chuck, faceplate, or center.

Press "XY→0".
===Z Axis Zero===
The Z zero should be set up to be the middle of the chuck. This is 65mm from the metal base of the rotary.

First, use the Z-touch to touch off the base:

[[File:Rotary_Z_Touch_Off_Base.png|442px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Z_Touch_Off_Base.png]]

[[File:B5X_Controller_Z65mm.png|442px|link=Special:FilePath/B5X_Controller_Z65mm.png]]

Then, move the Z axis to 65mm, and zero the Z axis.
===C / A Axis Zero===
Use the C buttons to rotate the axis to your desired start point, if needed. Zero by using "ZC→0" and select the A axis.

Laguna TFlux 5 Dust Collector

2025-12-18T00:51:19Z

Atwatsoniii:

Woodshop dust control is handled by a Laguna T|Flux:5 cyclone dust collector. Blast gates on all tools are automatic but we're still working on automatic stop/start; for now, users must manually turn on the dust collector before using a woodworking tool.

Note that the filter self-cleaning feature makes somewhat alarming noises. Flapping/crackling when the motor starts up and shuts down, and periodically during operation, is normal as the actuator bangs the pleats of the cartridge filter.

When emptying the dust bin, also check and empty the pan below the filter cartridge if sawdust is visible in the viewing window.

* When changing the dust bin:
** Please make sure other users are aware and do not use any tools
** Turn the switch on the yellow box on the dust collector to "off" instead of "auto".

==== Implementation ====
The [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/2/2a/IVAC_MSC_Advantage_Dust_Collector_Control.pdf iVac MSC Advantage Dust Collector Control] has a remote which is programmed to control the dust collector.
The MSC advantage is programmed to use iVac system address A. When any tool on that system address is turned on or off, the control monitors that and turns the dust collector on or off appropriately.

Since ASMBLY has two different [[#iVac System Addresses|iVac System Addresses]], an iVac Pro Control is used to monitor system address C, and trigger a tool sensor on system address A. The [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/8/8d/IVAC_Tool_Advantange_Sensor_Manual.pdf iVac Tool Advantage Sensor] has a trigger input which allows this. Refer to [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/d/d0/IVac_System_setup_of_Single_DC_and_multiple_system_addresses.pdf IVac_System_setup_of_Single_DC_and_multiple_system_addresses.pdf] for an example.
This allows the iVac MSC Advantage to monitor both system address A and B.

The daisy chain setup is plugged in high above the router table.

== Troubleshotting Steps for Blast Gates ==

* Verify tool sensor and blast gate are set to "AUTO"
* Verify tool sensor has red light when tool is powered on
** If not, verify tool sensor is plugged in
*** Check outlet is working
*** Check USB port is working
*** Swap USB power supplies
** If power is good, try adjusting sensitivity setting, verify dip switch settings are correct
* Check if blast gate is opening:
** If the green area is showing, the gate is open
** Disconnect hose, and verify suction is good
*** Check for blockages in the hose
* If tool sensor is working, and blast gate is not opening:
** Try changing the blast gate to ON/CLOSED and verify if the gate is opening/closing
*** Is the gate making any noise? If so, it may be a mechanical issue with the gate itself
** If not making any noise, check if outlet has power
** If outlet is working, verify gate power supply is working
*** check for voltage
*** swap power supply with spare from the stewards closet

=== Troubleshooting Automatic Control ===
* If a tool is not triggering the dust collector, verify the tool sensor is working correctly.
** verify iVac MSC on dust collector is set to "auto"
** verify tool sensor is set to "auto"
** verify tool sensor LED is lit when the tool is turned on
** If the tool is on system address C, verify iVac switch above router table is activated when the tool is turned on
*** There should be a blue led you can see when it is activated
*** This iVac switch should be set to auto
*** The tool sensor it is connected to should be set to "off-ext"
*** Try unplugging both the tool sensor and switch, and plug back in.
** Try turning all tools off, turn automatic control to off, then back to auto.

* If the dust collector is not turning off
** verify iVac MSC on dust collector is set to "auto"
** Check iVac MSC LED, if light steadily, it thinks a tool is on
** Verify nothing sneaky a turned on, examples:
*** South Bend sander master power enabled, but belt not running
*** Drum Sander belt running
*** A tool sensor set to "on" instead of "auto"
** Check iVac MSC LED, if blinking at 4x per second, DC should shut off within 8 minutes
** Try turning all tools off, turn automatic control to off, then back to auto.

==== Usage Notes ====
* The dust collector will automatically turn on and off. It is still the users responsibility to make sure the dust collector is on before using a woodshop tool.
* When turning on a tool when the dust collector is off, please give it a 10 seconds or so for the dust collector to spin up before using the tool.
* When changing the dust bin:
** Please make sure other users are aware and do not use any tools
** Turn the switch on the yellow box on the dust collector to "off" instead of "auto".
** Return the mode to "auto" after the bin has been emptied.
* The control is programmed to remain on for 8 minutes after all tools are shut off. The prevents a lot of starts and stops.

==== Implementation ====
The [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/2/2a/IVAC_MSC_Advantage_Dust_Collector_Control.pdf iVac MSC Advantage Dust Collector Control] has a remote which is programmed to control the dust collector.
The MSC advantage is programmed to use iVac system address A. When any tool on that system address is turned on or off, the control monitors that and turns the dust collector on or off appropriately.

Since ASMBLY has two different [[#iVac System Addresses|iVac System Addresses]], an iVac Pro Control is used to monitor system address C, and trigger a tool sensor on system address A. The [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/8/8d/IVAC_Tool_Advantange_Sensor_Manual.pdf iVac Tool Advantage Sensor] has a trigger input which allows this. Refer to [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/d/d0/IVac_System_setup_of_Single_DC_and_multiple_system_addresses.pdf IVac_System_setup_of_Single_DC_and_multiple_system_addresses.pdf] for an example.
This allows the iVac MSC Advantage to monitor both system address A and B.

The daisy chain setup is plugged in high above the router table.

=== Troubleshooting Automatic Control ===
* If a tool is not triggering the dust collector, verify the tool sensor is working correctly.
** verify iVac MSC is set to "auto"
** verify tool sensor is set to "auto"
** verify tool sensor LED is lit when the tool is turned on
** If the tool is on system address C, verify iVac switch above router table is activated when the tool is turned on
*** There should be a blue led you can see when it is activated
*** This iVac switch should be set to auto
*** The tool sensor it is connected to should be set to "off-ext"
** Try turning all tools off, turn automatic control to off, then back to auto.

* If the dust collector is not turning off
** verify iVac MSC is set to "auto"
** Check iVac MSC LED, if light steadily, it thinks a tool is on
** Verify nothing sneaky a turned on, examples:
*** South Bend sander master power enabled, but belt not running
*** Drum Sander belt running
*** A tool sensor set to "on" instead of "auto"
** Check iVac MSC LED, if blinking at 4x per second, DC should shut off within 8 minutes
** Try turning all tools off, turn automatic control to off, then back to auto.

Laguna TFlux 5 Dust Collector

2025-02-09T21:43:35Z

Atwatsoniii: /* Troubleshooting Automatic Control */

Woodshop dust control is handled by a Laguna T|Flux:5 cyclone dust collector. Blast gates on all tools are automatic but we're still working on automatic stop/start; for now, users must manually turn on the dust collector before using a woodworking tool.

Note that the filter self-cleaning feature makes somewhat alarming noises. Flapping/crackling when the motor starts up and shuts down, and periodically during operation, is normal as the actuator bangs the pleats of the cartridge filter.

When emptying the dust bin, also check and empty the pan below the filter cartridge if sawdust is visible in the viewing window.

==== Implementation ====
The [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/2/2a/IVAC_MSC_Advantage_Dust_Collector_Control.pdf iVac MSC Advantage Dust Collector Control] has a remote which is programmed to control the dust collector.
The MSC advantage is programmed to use iVac system address A. When any tool on that system address is turned on or off, the control monitors that and turns the dust collector on or off appropriately.

Since ASMBLY has two different [[#iVac System Addresses|iVac System Addresses]], an iVac Pro Control is used to monitor system address C, and trigger a tool sensor on system address A. The [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/8/8d/IVAC_Tool_Advantange_Sensor_Manual.pdf iVac Tool Advantage Sensor] has a trigger input which allows this. Refer to [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/d/d0/IVac_System_setup_of_Single_DC_and_multiple_system_addresses.pdf IVac_System_setup_of_Single_DC_and_multiple_system_addresses.pdf] for an example.
This allows the iVac MSC Advantage to monitor both system address A and B.

The daisy chain setup is plugged in high above the router table.

=== Troubleshooting Automatic Control ===
* If a tool is not triggering the dust collector, verify the tool sensor is working correctly.
** verify iVac MSC is set to "auto"
** verify tool sensor is set to "auto"
** verify tool sensor LED is lit when the tool is turned on
** If the tool is on system address C, verify it is activated when the tool is turned on
*** There should be a blue led you can see when it is activated
** Try turning all tools off, turn automatic control to off, then back to auto.

* If the dust collector is not turning off
** verify iVac MSC is set to "auto"
** Check iVac MSC LED, if light steadily, it thinks a tool is on
** Verify nothing sneaky a turned on, examples:
*** South Bend sander master power enabled, but belt not running
*** Drum Sander belt running
*** A tool sensor set to "on" instead of "auto"
** Check iVac MSC LED, if blinking at 4x per second, DC should shut off within 8 minutes
** Try turning all tools off, turn automatic control to off, then back to auto.

Laguna TFlux 5 Dust Collector

2025-01-23T04:09:36Z

Atwatsoniii: /* Troubleshooting Automatic Control */

Woodshop dust control is handled by a Laguna T|Flux:5 cyclone dust collector. Blast gates on all tools are automatic but we're still working on automatic stop/start; for now, users must manually turn on the dust collector before using a woodworking tool.

Note that the filter self-cleaning feature makes somewhat alarming noises. Flapping/crackling when the motor starts up and shuts down, and periodically during operation, is normal as the actuator bangs the pleats of the cartridge filter.

When emptying the dust bin, also check and empty the pan below the filter cartridge if sawdust is visible in the viewing window.
