I'd go Unistrut over V-Slot for mechanical mounting any day. Not that I think V-Slot couldn't take it (within reason), I just don't think it's...
And Z is always through the axis of the spindle. On a lathe, that means your +Z is the same direction as your mill's +X, but the table (now a...
I did fabricate a ~4-5" column extension, but it's about +/-0.010" in parallelism across the machined surfaces, which is obviously nowhere near...
Depends on what you're trying to do. OpenRail is pretty cheap and can be mounted to anything. There are many vendors producing the old...
Nope, didn't change anything. I should gain a good 3-4" when I change out the spindle to the BT30 cartridge- the stock quill takes up a lot of...
Hahaha, right?! Closed-loop steppers work exactly the same, system-wise, as normal steppers. They close the loop at the driver, not the control...
I personally wouldn't use "TB6600" drivers (whether they actually contain Toshiba TB6600 ICs is usually debatable) for anything other than 24V,...

1) Definitely pay attention to the bearings, the above ideas are good. 2) I'd go 6mm/1/4" on the plate if possible; though 3mm will technically...
Machine results look good. If you're gonna go 36V, wouldn't it make sense to just use proper DM542 drivers, build it right instead of skimping on...
Almost certainly exists. Or make a 45 degree fixture, use a standard end mill. A quick clearance slot at the bottom either before or after, done....
Seems like primarily it's a CNC-oriented trim router. The ER11 collets and the 6003 bearings (plural... Nice) seem to be the major features....
Yeah, this is what I meant by ...But didn't phrase it the best. I don't know how you could possibly fix that given that there's a fairly fixed...
Hahaha, it feels like it, yes! But it's because it's a traditional moving-table machine- the spindle's relation to the workpiece becomes more...
Finally got some time to browse through this a little this morning. It does seem more abstract and extensible than I had thought, which is good...
The described motion on the github page literally sounds like what Terje just posted this morning: CONTROL is sending an 0x85 on KeyUp, but...
Ahh, that makes sense. Good catch.
Ahh, that makes sense. Doesn't help for variable speed jogging, but it's a pretty elegant way of doing normal keyboard jogging. Shouldn't be an...
Never had cause to use CONTROL with bCNC being as comprehensive as it is, though I've dug into the code occasionally. I remember a couple of...
Sure, I can make some time. DM me and I'll send you my email.
