There are two ways round the problem. The first way is to make your drawing oversize by the tool radius. The best way to do this is to draw the part actual...
All, I setup Turbo CNC about 8 months ago and now for some reason all of my settings are gone. I've had to start from scratch all over again. I can't find my...
This was from another user. It assumes 20 TPI, and 200 steps per rev on the steppers: "So here's how you calculate the steps per inch to put into the tcnc ...

Jerry, sounds good but as a beginner I have a total lack of knowledge of subroutines and loops. Where do I look to become informed? I do see M98 Subroutine in...

Why not just click on the "C" next to the scale edit box? That'll pop up a box that allows you to enter the leadscrew, etc. data and calculates the sacle. --...

Jerry, indeed, why not. have uploaded it a couple of minutes ago. i was surprised by the wide response - in the last 24 hours over 10 members downloaded it...
Mark i received your second email and again my reply bounced. i understand the reason, you probably have to change the "reply to" address in your mail...
Hello, I am very new to CNC. I have my cnc router almost completed, and am ready to move the stepper motors so I can set up the limit/home switches. I am using...
... I'm not familiar with DeskNC enough to give you any help. Perhaps others on this list are and would be willing to provide some assistance off-list. ...
Jerry, First of all, thanks for responding! This is a three day week end for me, and I'm no further along today then I was Thursday after work. You can imagine...
... That's not a good scene at all. What stage are you at as far as testing out the hardware itself? Have you set your Motor drives for the correct current? ...
Hey Jerry, Yes, I have set the motor current as per the info I did get (3A=.54VDC) on all three axis. I loaded the software and booted in Dos mode. I'm not...
Jerry, I was wondering, if I have the driver board done correctly ( voltages, etc). What should I have as far as the stepper motor characteristics? They get...
... This sounds exactly like everything's working correctly. Remember that TurboCNC requires plain DOS and not a "DOS box under Windows" to run properly. --...
It depends on the board that you're using. You've got to setTurboCNC's I/O pin assignments to match the particular motor drive board that you've got. For...
WOW!!!!! It works!!!!! I have moved all three axis around for about 45 min now, only in jog mode, but it's a great start. I will finish mounting and hooking...
Hi, Ken: That sounds like a great way to end your week end. Concerning the limit and home switches - You'd be best advised to set up one axis at a time. If...
Hi to everybody, I configured home switch three axises (XY and Z) For each one placed a key usually closed between corresponding pin and 0voltes, in other...
Jerry, Thank you very much, I will do that next. Well, in a few day's, under the weather right now. You've been a big help. Ken Carol & Jerry Jankura...
I have just completed a Z axis drive and am having trouble geting operational. I have started with just this one axis. I have compleated the setup and...
... Could be you're doing nothing wrong. You have the ability to set the jog distances for the discrete jog. If this number is small (like 1 step) and you're...
Had 3.0 working fine on all 3 axis, upgraded to 4.0 last night and now only X works. I used all the same numbers for Config. I still have 3.0 loaded on the...
There should be no need to remove 3.x prior to installing or using 4.x. Be sure to use different subdirectories for each executable, and make sure that the...
