Hi Today I came across a new? problem. I would set up to drill a pcb, drill one hole, abort, reset, and repeat the process, but almost everytime there was an...
Dear All, I have recently converted my Denford Orac lathe from Parker CD20 to Gecko 210 stepper drives. The lathe is driven from a laptop PC using TurboCNC...
Thomas, Don't quote me on this, but I "think" the pulse routine is in a different section of the code than the "file" type routines? You may have stumbled...
Hi Dave Thanks for the feedback. I have varied the accelleration and did get some improvement, I can't set the backlash to zero as the old mill I have has...
Hi I hate to sound like a stuck record, or insult you..... are you sure you're not in a dos window, instead of Dos itself. Generally, stuttering = Windows. ...
Dear Roland, There is no Windows installed on this PC, it's an old DOS laptop, a 486 running 6.1. Any further thoughts much appreciated... Best regards, ...
I know this may be a longshot, but make sure your parallel port ground pins are really connected to the driver board or isolation board correctly, and that the...
Hi Thomas, In TCNC 3.x this is similar in that on detection of each key press (or Key auto repeat), the motion controller will issue a move for the appropriate...
it took me a while to figure out too. I now have it set to 1mm (or at least farly close - used to be 0.01) -it still sort of stutters at some harmonic...
Dan.....There's never a problem with stutterring using size 34 motors. Sometimes size 23 motors stutter....but na na na never do size na na nineteen (LOL)...

I loaded the software and I am getting it to work. However, everytime I turn off the machine, I need to re-enter the data for axis configuration ( ports,...
... You've got to save the configuration. There's a menu selection in the "configure" menu to save the current settings. The tooling file contains only tool...
Hi to All, The subject is an Automatic Drawbar for the R8 Spindle. Checkout this thread going on in the CNCZone, should be a great source of input. ...
Anyone know if the G-Rex will work with TurboCNC? I am wanting to build a CNC Router and I thought the G-Rex looked very intresting. Some of the ideas I have...
I'm fairly sure it will not. The G-Rex is is a usb based module that has api that have to be incorporated in the SW hosting it. I think Mach 3 doe this. For...
Hello Dave I was wondering if it would be possible to still download upgrades once I pay for the registration? I am planning of terminating IP service soon...
I'm just getting my feet wet with TurboCNC and am having a problem that I hope someone can help me figure out. I'm using the MicroStep driver boards from...
Don, I am not familiar with your MicroStep driver boards but with other various other drivers I see mid band resonance issues limiting maximum stepper speed to...
... Either you're acceleration is too fast, or you're attempting to run the system at a speed where the motors' torque is less than needed to move your tables....
Would the Vexta CSD5807N-T work with TCNC? Here is a link to the product in question: http://www.alltronics.com/cgi-bin/item/24M002/243/Oriental%2DMotor% ...
Hello, I just rejoined figured this is a good place to jump in. Most of the vexta controllers Ive delt with should work theres a 1P and 2P switch on there it...
Hi Don When you boot up CNCPro, you'll see the "max step rate before 10% jitter" Compare this KHz figure to your max step rate in the config menu. Keep your ...
... When dealing with stepper motor drives, the best precision comes at 1/2 stepping (2 microsteps per step). Any additional "resolution" is to help damp out...
Hello all... I have yet another seemingly stupid question. I think I have decided on a router design. I have been looking at the Data-Cut website, and this...
My 2 cents. The Data-Cut is going to be really expensive to build as shown. I see 1" thick aluminum plates and lots and lots of mill machine work to make it. I...
x86ricer, I seem to remember Mariss (of Gecko) saying below 300 watts per motor steppers are best, above 500 watts servos. I run mills cutting plastic and wax...
If you have only enough $$ to build one machine, make your first machine a mini-mill with steppers. You can build one from all the plans freely available on...
