... Is it possible that your Windows XP hard drive is formatted at NTFS? If so, DOS cannot recognize it, so TurboCNC cannot access it. Jerry Jankura So many...
... Thanks for the advice Jerry. You are right - my hard drive is NTFS. But how should it be formatted in order to be recognisable to TCNC? I tried creating a...
... It's not a matter of what format TurboCNC recognizes but what format your DOS operating system recognizes. If you're using a version of DOS that generally...
Hello, I am thinking about building a flatbed routing CNC table (XYZ) based on Turbo CNC. I have been monitoring the boards for a few months, and now I have...
... Hi Joe, If the drives just require step and direction inputs then TCNC will be none the wiser. As for using AC drives there are lovers and haters in equal...
Hi Sounds nice, but if you are spending considerable money, you might want to think twice about Tcnc. Without constant velocity(at this stage) , the motion is...
Version 4.02 is probably going to be out before the end of the year according to Dave K. and includes constant velocity. ... Thought for Today: "The trouble...
AC or brushless DC servo are very unlikely to run away. Unlike brushed DC servos, the drive needs feedback from the motor to be able to work. If the drive...
Awesome. I would indefinitely like to have the constant velocity feature. I will proceed with getting the motors and drives and start developing the gantry...

I am sure you are correct. I have started using ArtCam to generate my G-Code and it is helping a lot. My little Dremel Tool cutter is doing fine on Dave's...
Hi All Only yesterday I discovered this neat little laminate trimmer from Ryobi. It looks like it will make a great spindle at 400W Has anyone used it with...
Good question. I seem to remember an aluminium tube, since it slides up and down in a plastic holder to set the depth, but I'm not sure. The top part, where...
Be careful of the collets in these type of trimmers. Don't buy one that has a short collet, 1/4-3/8 inch like the Harbor Freight trimmer. Get one that has a...
