On a machine this rigid I'm not sure you do. If the rails are strong enough and the carriages are spaced out sufficiently, the table itself is...
So the options for off-size-but-correct-location are kinda limited, and you can check them in order: The designed feature isn't the size it's...
Too late. You're into CNC now.
If it's feasible, I'd put locating dowel pins at two corners of the machine and make a drilling jig that I use with a green laser level to set the...
There's always the AMB spindles!
Replace with Torx head or full-size flanged hex head? It's not a clearance location, so low profile screws aren't necessary. I've generally found...
While this is true, it's generally not the advice I give, and very hard to argue in this particular case. :p Overpaying may be debatable, but if...
Yes. Whether NEMA 17 or 23, you'll see a noticable improvement in acceleration and available torque at 24V. Technically the motor doesn't see a...
When I was initially testing the laser, I made a drawbot head for it. Z-axis stepper made height and pressure adjustments extremely easy, and...
Unless someone has the exact same machine with the same controller and is doing the same thing, there are unlikely to be step by step guides. You...
Hardware, not software. Split out the step/dir/ena lines from the single Y axis to the Z axis driver as well. Now it's another Y axis. If you need...
Probably, *if* you know roughly which line it stopped at *and* haven't turned off the machine *and* haven't rehomed *and* haven't changed tools....
If you're already going to G54 Z0.4 based on a touchoff, makes the most sense. I'd do 24V switches, active low, at the very least. If for some...
Smaller helical bore and then a full-depth finishing pass. Probably also a drop in feeds to maybe 100mm/min or so for the finisher. Edit: Haha,...
Interesting. I don't remember running into an issue with that, but the only times I've deliberately put it on the first G1 line were with...
Seems like it because 5080/25.4 = 200IPM (maybe grbl's settings are maxing out at 130IPM/3300mm/min there, which is good to protect the machine)...
This would be depth of cut, or DOC, and feed rate, or feed, which is correct. Speed always refers to spindle speed (or, more accurately, actual...
Yeah this trips a lot of people up. [ATTACH] I don't really understand why it's trying to set a feed rate for a G0 in line 12 since G0 rapids...
Post the code that it's outputting so we can see what it is/is not doing. If it doesn't have a grbl post-processor you'll probably have to output...
I love everything about this idea, to be honest. It might be the "perfect gantry" (within its size class, at least). I'd throw some 15mm T-nutted...
