I ran a lot of tests last night and this morning, and here is what I have found. First: I am running my Bridgeport Mill using an HP eVectra 533mHz Computer ...

Alan, I think you may have pointed me in the right direction. The documentation for the HobbyCNC controller simply states "14, 16, 17 are not pulled up and...
Daniel, I too have been having trials setting up a spindle index :-(. I finally got it to work, negative pulse to pin 14. My problem was that the ini file ...
Problem Solved, another satisfied member! Thanks goes to all who took the time to help, especially Alan who pointed me in the right direction. The problem was...
i have a small shaper that i would like to use for cutting plastic bevel gears. i have a rotary table that i have been controlling with emc. i would like to...
I've done some experiments with this in turbocnc. I was looking at hobbing in the mill. You can use G33 with a rotary axis, but that axis must be called X Y or...
Hi, I assume that the feed axis is still running mechanically so you will create a single pulse for each rotary movement which would be a certain number of ...
... you are right. the shaper is mechanically driven. the horizontal table moves very slowly and is driven by a rachet mechanism. what i want is for the rotary...
Well, after about three years, the "Precision Homemade CNC Router" is complete, more or less! I'd like to thank all those kind folks that have posted ideas and...
Hi ED (?), I'm only partially following you. You want to make bevel gears on a shaper, and sync up a rotary table. TurboCNC has inputs/outputs for PLC, which...
... i would like to get the rotary axis to follow the horizontal one so that the gear would be "generated" as it cut. if i put a disk with holes or notches...
Hi, Has anyone cut "silhouettes" using a CNC router. These are the critter and creatures one sees on people lawns. My problem is how do you get a small...
... cutting ... Hi Len . I use DeskPCB to convert my PCB layouts into G code for routing . If you set it up with 2 significant digits instead of 1 it enlarges...
HI Fred, Len, I don't think he wants to work from Gerber files, just somehow create Gcode from a drawing or small cutout. If your CAD or drawing program allows...
Sorry Group, my pictures are listed under "Anyone Can Do It" in the Photo section. I might also say, that 4 years ago I know very little about stepper motors...
Fred, Alan, Thanks for the tips on developing g-code for silhouettes. I have Turbocad ver 8, I believe their new ver.12 can take a scanned in "outline" and...
need more information: Wench drums are 1 inch, is that the diameter? If the Dia is 1.00 then the scale would be Pi 3.1415926535897932384626433832795. Dia *...
Angelo, Don't Be afraid of asking stupid questions. hundreds of thousands of hours of experience is available online in various groups not just this one. Ask,...
Hi Ed It seems to me like you have a fixed shaper and moving linear axis below with rotary axis mounted on it. If I am right you need synchronize movements for...
Oh, what I had written would be true only with double sided shaper 8- ). Otherwise only Allan´s approach is right.. George ... apropriate ... remember ... so ...
Hi Angelo, Problems, there were a few, but then again, too few to mention! Well, I guess I could write a book on the project, in fact, I now have a small...
... Take a look at sheetcam. It will open DXF, HPGL (*.hpg, *plt, *prn, *.hp), Enhanced Metafiles (*,EMF) or Excellon files. Any drawing tool that will...
Automatic raster to vector conversion tends to produce really ragged outlines. When you convert the drawings to g-code the machine will run very slowly because...
I am in the process of converting my Sherline Lathe to CNC. I have been recommended to try TurboCNC as the CAM program for this (since I will be running Win98...
... Joe, I have three machines (Sherline lathe, Sherline mill and Techno-Isel gantry table) running TCNC 4.01 with Xylotex drivers. They work great! My...
I want to thank all those that how given me suggestion on this topic. It appears that the best way to do this, without expensive software is to scan in a...
