Hi Steve, I know this is an old post, but I'm in the same position as you were, trying to work out the pin-outs on the Parametrics VFD. Did you ever solve the...
It's alive sort of my Klienbauer Brute. This is my first cnc machine. I'm a little confused at the setting I need in turbocnc ini file. I went to configure the...
All speeds from F10 to F200 take the same about of time (50.30 seconds to go 5 inches) What settings could I possibly have incorrect? Bridgport mill with...
Have you configured your Max Velocity in the each axis page??? If it is low, no Feed rate will exceed it. Bubba ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
All - Thanks for the help. I followed Mr. De Ruiter's suggestion and used a switch for testing, and it worked fine. The software is working properly...now...
I was running a program tonight and needed to override the feed rate. As I always do, I typed on shift-< to slow it down. Then I got to thinking (always...
hi I'm Roberto from Italy it's possible in future version of TurboCNC (4.02???) add an hardware shortcut for the Keyboard/program command??? this way is to...
After lurking on this group for ages while I finish the hardware side of my DIY router, I've finally reached the stage where I have to sort out the electronics...
You don't mention the current requirements for your motors, but you might want to consider building a motor drive kit from HobbyCNC. The kit costs about $100...
Phew!! Well thanks that's a great relieve, at least it is a possibility. I'll have to find out if they can ship the kit to my country , I'm in Namibia (small...
Hi, Johan: Well, the HobbyCNC motor drives will handle your X and Y motors, but not Z as it's rated for 3 amps max. Also, it's rated at a max of 42 volts, DC,...
Hi there, For a while now, I've been having trouble with my CNCed milling machine. It seems to be milling correctly and then suddenly in a matter of seconds,...
Hi Warren, The laptop CPU may well be switched down in speed as part of the power saving excercise. This would throw the TCNC timings right off. Early laptops...
Hi, I'm going to switch off the power saving mode and do some testing this afternoon. I might also decrease the waiting time before it goes into power saving...
Yes. When driving a machine you MUST turn off things like screen savers and power saving software / modes. You really need ALL the attention of your machine...
One other thing - you don't want to have memory managers (EMM386, HIMEM) runing either. While TurboCNC is a protected mode program, it uses Borland's dpmi...
Hi, Thanks for the replies. I ran a few tests today with the power saving mode set to come in after one minute. I ran simple G-code programs and timed 1...

What have you entered as an acceleration value? Remember, your motors must accelerate from zero to the velocity, and then decelerate. So, I would expect that...
Is there any plans to add to and embelish the Ace software? This is a great utility that works pretty well. It would be great to see better layer control for Z...
... Dear Group Members, We designed and manufactured a CNC Router. Our plan was to setup a new bussiness to manfufacture and sale of CNC Routers. But we...
What's your web site address where we can find some information (technical specification, picture, prices, etc...) about the CNC Router ? Thank you and Best...

I'm having a problem slowing down the feed on a program which uses a rotary table mounted on my Sherline mill and compensates for the egg-shape of some round...
Hi 1. I think that this is due to the simultaneous movement of X and A axis. Actually, the X axis maximum speed/acceleration and not the A axis motion dictates...
Bogdan, It is certainly a direct result of the linear and rotary axes in the same movement, however I hadn't though of limiting the max A axis speed in TCNC,...
