iam getting this

 

nice video what are you makeing

 

oky thanks sir

 

C-beam end plates for a laser pcb CNC

 

I don't use Google Chrome, it's a security risk on your computer. It has hidden apps listening in to conversations in the room and store the information elsewhere, without the consent of the computer owner.

 

@stargeezer, how's your diamond Ox doing? Ready to cut?

 

Hi Paul and all, YES! It's up and running. I cut a sign mock-up I threw together. It zips around pretty good for a belt drive machine. Much better than the Shapeoko I built. Running the steppers on 36v instead of 12v really does help.

I hope to take time to post the build this weekend. I really need to shoot some more pics of detail.

Gibson - your build is coming along great! I'll bet you are cutting very soon too. Nicely done!

Autodesk fusion 360 is free and now has a simplified version of hsm cam built in . And for making models has anyone tried onshape, currently in beta which means it's free but as far as I can tell glitch free and miles better than sketchup.

 

thanks stargeezer now I have to try and wire this cnc machine

 

oky i found sketchucam in my sketchup lol

 

I knew you were up to something! I heard no heads banging against the shed wall the last couple of nights, instead I hear the screaming sounds of bits racing thru wood in the early morning! Good to hear, Larry.

 

oky felloar iam trying to put
Router/Spindle Mount V7 down load in my sketchup how do i do that lol

 

oky guys and gals is this good motor for my ox build 400W High-speed Air Cooled Spindle Motor Engraving Milling DC 12V-48V 12000rpm

 

Oky fellors little update on my eletrical part plz have a look and see if all is oky so far I pluged it in and all light up but didnt here fans on the power suply yet but didnt leave on long I tested the voltage and it red 124 on each power suply All feed back welcome

 

I use that spindle on my OX, works great and is super quiet. The only negative,, and depending on what your cutting, you'll be limited on your feed rate due to the low RPM's. All in all, it's a good option...IMHO.

Btw, I'm cutting balsa and plywood.

 

How many volts?

 

DO YOU MEAN DCV

 

i am useing this guys setup it look all most the same www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdz4OXo9x38

 

I'm guessing you mean dc voltage? If so then yes?

 

O you mean direct current voltage, was going to say 124v dc can't be right.

Good job on using two psu's, plenty of amps available there.

 

oky update I`am getting 123.4 AC-V on each DC-V I`am getting 36.1 on each .sound good

 

i didnt use no diagram didnt have one i used this guy www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdz4OXo9x38

 

Second that about the ground, i noticed that guys not fitted an ac filter, personally I think they are essential, I use two one inches away from the spindle on spindle mains, and another before psu's bobs etc.

Many will say you don't need them on a home supply but for a few quid better having them than not, had some noise issues myself on a house supply before fitting these.

If you are using a kettle connection you can get them inbuilt in the panel mount males. Though kettle leads are not really a good choice of connector as they can be pulled out. I use the power version of the speakon type.

dose the hook up mater on what program your going to be useing trying to hook up to my DQ542MA board

 

i thank you for the helping iam new to this i moved the groung to one of the pwersuply grounds

 

No problem, Grounding the case with the mains ground and then attaching all the grounds to the case works to the same effect, only if you do this its best to do an induction test with a multimeter between mains supply ground point and grounds at each component to test connection 0.9-1 is an exceptable range im0.

Grounding this way also shields emf,s from entering the case. So really it's the better approach.

You can then simply Wire the ox frame to the case also and perform induction test in same manner except you need to test all metal areas of the frame, a single connection I found grounded the entire frame however you may need to make two connections, if so run two cables from the case to the ungrounded areas of the frame, don't use cable screen wire. This reduces the chances of noise generated in the frame from friction transferring into your cables.

only connect your screened cable screen wires at the case and ensure the other end it cut off inside the insulation so as not to touch anything and make a loop.

Inside the grounded case it's also good practice to use conductive dividers ie more ally, between your psu,s and drivers and bob and another isolating the motion controller if you have one. Each area having a fan or use perforated dividers to allow air flow.

May sound a little extreme but doing all this covers all areas and if you one day decide to convert to plasma you may just stand a chance.
