Hi Nick, did you get the HobbyCNC kit that included the diode bridge and the big blue electrolytic capacitor? If you did all you really need to find is a...
Hi, Did my homework, searched the archives, didn't find this issue addressed. Also put full details of query on subject line so that those very busy can choose...
The www.dakeng.com site still works for me. The current official release is V3.1A, however in the files section of this group is V3.24 which is a limited...
Thanks for the info. for v3.1A, v3.24 But... is G91 modal or non-modal in TurboCNC, any version? I just tried with V3.0g again a second ago: G91 G01 X1 F20...
Hi Peter, G91 is Modal. I am almost certain in all versions. The problem with your example and the reason your G91 is not working is because you have 2 G words...
Hi Paul, no the kit i got was just the board and board components, i need the transformer, diode and capacitor, 30v smoothed power supply really. You are right...
Thanks Jerry, Steve Just noticed that there is a pdf file in the unzipped/turbocnc folder. Printed it out. Wow! So many pages. Will take the time to read....
Hello all, I was wondering if while you are running in an automatic mode can you stop the file you are running then start back where you are, Or better yet if...
I would like to make a circle (2" dia.) with a 'v' shaped mill bit (1/4") that would begin on the surface and get deeper as the cut progressed. Then after 90...
Hi, Bill: Use G72/G73. G2/3 do not allow Z movement; G72/73 do. Use several blocks of code - The first would start at Z=0 and go to Z=depth X & Y would be set...
Hi all, I am using ace converter to generate g code. It seems like ace will not generate g code for ovals. Is there another way to generate the code for an...
Hi, Les: You might want to try breaking your line into several small linear segments and generate the G-Code for each of these segments. I could be wrong, but...
... Well, I've got a Sherline mill that I've added CNC to. It's using the Camtronics bipolar driver board, which I put together as a kit. I'd like to buy the...
Thanks, Jerry. Here is what gave me the idea that it was possible: G02 [Xd.d] [Yd.d] [Zd.d] [Id.d] [Jd.d] [Kd.d] [Fd.d] CW 2D circular move, modal which was...
Les, For anything that you have a well defined (and easily determined) mathematical function for the curve you want, you can always generate a series of...
... Mind giving us an idea of how much these items cost? ... maybe ... perusing ... bearings with ... design, but ... itself. ... I ... specifies. I ... that...
Peter, et al...... We've run our Dremel Tool for several hours non-stop without trouble. As far as thrust bearings? C'mon they aren't needed. There just...
Bill: The EIA standard (RS274D) specs G72/73 for helical interpolation, and G02/03 for 2D circular. Over the years the codes used by different manufacturers...
Hi, Bill: There are three GCodes that specify the active plane . I believe that they're G16/17/18. The first sets the XY plane as the active plane (this is ...
Hi, Dave: Remember folks...ITS A HOBBY MACHINE! Not intended for continuous 16 hour duty over 2 shifts! Ground shafts for the Z axis travel being straighter?...
Hi Dave, Thanks for the clarification. Good to have you comments on our comments. Sometimes we have to keep ourself in check, applying metal working standards...
I explode the oval then convert. Or, if the oval is a polyline, save the DXF file as version 12 (autocad) then convert it in Ace. It will end up a whack of...
Peter, Try a Dremel tool...you'll be surprised how well these things work IF not held in your hand! Regards, Dave Rigotti Hobby CNC ... From: forumtvm To:...
If you want some spreadsheet help, let me know. I do all my manual stuff in Excel and it can be really easy with some few tips. I creaded a dozen columns then...
One mod I always suggest is that when you layout your design, overlay it with ball screws and linear bearings. if you build for a 1/4-20 leadscrew but might...
Hi all, I knwo this is off topic, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. I got a HF $20.00 trim router with the idea that is would be a good starting point and...
Hi Just wondering if this is a good book for someone starting out in CNC? The CNC Workshop: A Multimedia Introduction to Computer Numerical Control. thanks e...
...going out on a limb here, assuming that you mean ellipse, and not oval. If your software does not support the ellipse function, and you can't achieve it...
