Sounds quite inconvenient to me, but I suppose that depends on whether you're looking at productivity or more along the lines of capability at the...
Seems inconvenient for quickly replacing a broken belt. I'd probably try and engineer a way around that. I know my lathe belts like to snap at the...
Looks intriguing. I'm a fan of gear reductions on axes! Do you have a plan for the type of belt you're using to deal with all that power? Seems...
Conventional or climb milling? Speeds and feeds? Coolant? Leadscrews or ballscrews? Spindle runout? Workholding? Upcut or downcut end mill?...
According to Wiki it's a mixture of thermoplastic and thermoset... "The most common polymers used are polyester, polyurethane, polyester-epoxy...
That's all I'm getting at- something to be bearing in mind. We have a tendency to bring our zero-sum western IP mentality to a lot of things...
Money no object? 3HP (upgradable as power supply allows), auto-toolchanging, 20k RPM, 5-axis, servo-driven, linear rail and ballscrew...
One point I'd like to make here that I've seen elsewhere in FOSSH and has always rubbed me the wrong way; the use of "clone", "knockoff", etc. to...
Use a leadscrew anyway but add sprung dampers along the length and ploughs to the carriage to minimise whipping? Pneumatic/belleville washer...
Aluminum is hard milling by extrusion machine standards. Soft by actual milling standards, sure, but to use those standards you actually need box...
That was it! I was struggling to remember the fundamental reason why we'd always just said not to bother. Yeah, the travel-rigidity-power triangle...
People have asked it a lot of times before, but I don't know if it's ever really been accomplished to any kind of streamlined, satisfactory level....
1) I'm team PWM as well, by far. But the page says the pot's on board. Maybe it's the little blue trimpot? I assume the video intro has more...
Tormachs are basically mini-mills with desktop PCs running LinuxCNC built in (there's no point buying a Tormach and then not getting PathPilot...
Right, but look at the scale of his machine from another video: [ATTACH] Huge weldment structure, similar to This Old Tony's build but more...
I originally had a huge screed along very similar lines- lathe/UMC, multi-spindle/single point tooling, etc, casting methods and issues, pressure...
It's almost certainly gonna be a 5-axis mill to true up the outside and finish up the spokes in any kind of turbine style. A 3- or 4-axis you...
I saw that, looking good! Still working on the video, but I added some frame-building pics to the build. I've had a couple jobs come in, so I...
Without knowing anything about the application, help may be limited, but you pretty much have two options, once you've connected the heatgun to...
For hanging something putting out about 800W of power, I'd probably bite the bullet and construct an actual "spindle" with thrust bearings. You...
