I am making a dust shroud for my cnc router table. I have seen other shrouds which use a thick clear flexible plastic as the skirt. What is that material...
On one of these forums, someone used "runner" like the clear material people use for runners on carpet. It can be found at Home Depot in the carpet section....
Strip brush works very well. You want long fairly stiff bristles. Mount it on a floating head so there isn't much weight on the brush otherwise it wears quite...
The place I have seen this used a lot is in areas that have large coolers and freezer that people or forklifts go in and out of a lot. The have very durable...
OK thanks. Yes don't really need the limits. But do need the homes. Just curious, Any ideas where Xylotex brings the 5 volt in from the computer? Thanks again....
If you are talking about their standard kit, they have a 5v tap of the main transformer. Cheers, Mark ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Oh, so Xylotex uses the transformer that I provide. It really doesn't come from the computer. I couldn't figure out which line the 5 volt was coming out on....
I'm still around, just got a bit slowed down there for a while (and deluged with work). Been getting a bit of a "second wind" lately so I've been attacking my ...
Heyyo ya'll... I just finished zeroing my homebuilt cnc... yea!... I cut circles using the instructions for TurboCNC and from messages on this message...
You could probably do some mathematical spiral calculations but I would just draw it in CAD and let something like ACE converter generate the code for it. ...
I am relearning CNC stuff. 12 years or so ago I had a pretty good working knowledge of it. That was the days of DANCAD Shareware and stepper controller...
Dave, Glad to hear you are getting time for some projects. I go by the philosophy that if I can get a little done every day no matter how small you will be...
1GB RAM should do, and a 160GB HD. You might want to consider a videocard too if you are going to be working with 3D. PS. This is a discussion group for...
I just started using a 4th axis. Everything is working fine BUT. When I rotate 0 to 45 degrees 0,5,10,15,20 etc everything works great, but as soon as I get to...
Can't really help you. I tried using the sequence you stated (in MDI mode) and each time, it incremented just fine. I then made a small G-code program...
Known problem. DaveK's work around is to set the rotary axis as LINEAR with the step size set so that a move of 360 gives a complete rotation of the rotary...
Hi, I am in NOWAY! an expert on 4th. axis, but it's my understanding that; you are already 'at' 45 degrees, then your next command should only be 2 degrees to...
Hi I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to get any real speed on my drive. My step rate is 0.005 mm, at 20 000 Hz (Max velocity) that should be ...
Something doesn't seem right in your numbers. You say that you have the feed rate set to 10 meters/minute but at your step size that would be a lot more than...
Thanks for the help. Here is the update I am using a 20v power supply. The motors are very lightly loaded and Gecko say that I can go above the rated voltage...
Wallace, Easy question first, YES, you have to factor in the 4 pulses for quadrature. Next dumb question, did you set the "Max Velocity" in the config file for...
... I'm coming in really late to the discussion, so you've probably mentioned earlier - what kind of motor drives are you using? Are they something like Geckos...
There is something missing. You state that the resolution based on your pulley diameter is .02mm. But (and this is the big but), what about the leadscrew???...
Yeah, I know but if the rate is off by exactly 4 then I was looking for the easy answer. I don't get the 6.6 KHz thing either. My Bridgeport runs 13.3 KHz on ...
This comes from the Turbo 4 manual: The TurboCNC core motion routines are no longer tied to any system of measurement. All positions for the linear axes are...
