Thanks Joe ... I think, by slow down are you saying to just build something basic first and gain some experience or that 4 weeks is too fast for cnc design? You are right about the software work flow but without hardware it is way to abstract of a concept for me to learn. I like the 360 price point but won't try it until my free trials expire. I'll start with some free cad to cam to start. I always liked working with solid works but they don't hand out 30 day trials without getting hounded by retail sales calls, (it's nice to see open source cutting the giants off at the knees after their 30 yr reign of terror.)​

I appreciate the almost offer for work but if you're across the pond the shipping would be more expensive than the aluminum plate, my wonky Chinese drill press can manage in a pinch. I don't intentionally burn any bridges but my feet are on fire, or my pants, and inventor reminds me every day that the clock on the design phase is ticking. The parts were purchased to expedite the design of the custom part drawings.

The packages are fun but every one them has a note inside saying, "you can't afford this, how the hell do you expect to pay for all this."

Davey, thumbs up for the evidence. New information has come to light, though I think it's a fusion part import and he's working with apple and the interface is slightly different. But now I'll hit up the fusion forum for details on import. The button is probably right in front of my nose. And it was, I was trying to avoid the web, which was were it all was, old dog learns new tricks.

 

Davey, do 2 of those 48V 7.3A ps get wired in parallel and does that mean just twisting the output + together and - together before connecting to the g540? The only reason I thought pc power is we have about 6 dead old pc with ps from 250w to 500w (not sure about mixing wattage, case space, and heat) but wont use them because of all the additional load requirements and wiring. I like the idea of the Chinese ps just not the 4-5 week wait to have it shipped.

Good catch I guess I just assumed ebay = china

Rick, they only had the 7.4A 48v, how do you wire two to get 12+Amps and where would the estop go in the circuit?
