Denis, This should work, but have a few questions/suggestions. ASSUMPTION: You do NOT have "homeaslimits" set. First off, are the switches hooked to a break...
Dave, How's this experiment coming? (Or did I miss 'The rest of the story?') Dick ... From: Dave Kowalczyk To: turbocnc@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, September...
I am using turbocnc nicely but fear a systems crash under all the dust I have and that they do occur. I was considering booting from a memory stick and running...
I have converted my system in the shop over to using a CF card as the hard drive. I also use a jumpstick as a means of sneaker nettiing the g-code files from...
... In short, replace the hard drive with a compact flash card. You'll need to buy an adapter for these, they're quite cheap. As a bonus, since you don't need...
Newish Motherboards can boot from a USB stick as a floppy/Zip drive. I have also used a CF flash card with a HD adapter. Small Mini/Nano/Micro motherboards can...
I would like to make a simple program for step motor control. But i don't know how to program cycles and use CPU frequency.? If i get time delay (miliseconds)...
Hi, I seem to have a slight problem engraving numbers. I made a # font and when I engrave it I get a mirror image. The Numbers are perfect with the exception...
You have Turbocnc configured with one of your axes moving in the wrong direction. The convention for the x-axis is for the TABLE to move left when a positive...
I have a wait time (really small but ugly using for more time...) between the press of the arrow key until the motor start (this for all the three axles...) ...
Will tcnc offset for tool radius? Seems I read that it will not. Haven't run my mill been working with PMINMO on drivers. Just starting to try my hand at line...

Hello all, this is my first thread or even comment on an existing thread. One of the most difficult jobs(in my experience) is the satisfactory sharpening of...
Whatever you design and build to do that can surely be controlled by the software. Programming may be a little of a chore unless you build the needed angles...
For sharpening mills, i'd use an old lathe, hook up a stepper to the main spindle, and two others to the X and Z-axis, replace the cutter with a grinding...
Arie, Tracy, Many thanks for your VERY fast response to my thread re sharpening end mills. I should have been more detailed in my request for comment,...
You wouldn't have to teach it anything I don't think. Just program in the right amount of degrees for the particular cutter helix along with a suitable linear...
Tracy, thanks for your thoughts. The problem of different lead and unidentified lead was the reason for using the approach of "teaching"the set up for each...
I still don't think you need to teach it anything. Put the cutter in the machine. Use an indicator to position a flute in a particular rotational location (MPG...
Tracy, having read your proposed approach I don't think it needs to be taught anything either. Good solution! many thanks. Paul. ... in a ... Move ... you ... ...
Happy to say made first moves today and it sure is sweet to see your hard work and hair pulling come together. Now for the problem I can't get the program to...

AS a general rule end mills to small to use a finger on are not sharpened. They are cheap enough that sharpening is more expensive than buying them new. Was...
