I tried purchasing a rotary axis from AliExpress last February. The vendor took my payment then sent me an email saying they needed more because...
I use K40 whisperer. As a free controller for a stock K40 it works great. There is a whole lot of great info on the K40 here The Maker Forums to...
Artcam was an Autodesk product that Autodesk discontinued a couple years ago. My guess if you would have got a copy --especially at that price --...
I was looking at another one. Somehow I was looking at this one and took a wild guess. I think it was because I had looked through them earlier...
That is good. The first thing I would have suggested was the steps since you are using a different screw than most, but you said you sent it 100...
My thoughts -- It can't hurt. If there is slop, there is more chance of vibration. Besides, it is only $1.25 more for an anti-backlash nut.
How much larger is "way larger"? Twice as large? Four times as large, 25.4 times as large? Is this a file you came up with and designed yourself,...
When you set it up, you choose "grbl" for g code. It will make changes to your controller, but it saves your data and will let you revert it back...

I use that method a lot. So much so that I buy the cheap big tubes of super glue from Hobby King. But the only reason I buy from them is their...

How do you make your own collets? That sounds interesting. Also, I am glad you caught that "at a minimum" statement. I don't know where that...
In my opinion, your best bet would be to not use those 3D printer drivers on a CNC router. Use an Arduino with some higher amperage drivers and...
I have done the google searches necessary and have found some who have, but they never really followed up on their results (ie. run-out). I have...
My CNC router is under a ceiling outlet, I have the power cord plugged in above. It is never in my way and easily moves to all corners of the...
I use this 1/4" Freud straight flute endmill on plywood, hardwood, and HDPE. Because it is not an up-cut bit, it does not tear out the wood. I...
If you just want max speed, then it depends on if you are using belts or screws. If you mean for cutting, then it depends on materials, cutter,...
Estlcam ramps in for holes if bigger than the end mill by doing helical drilling. For holes the same size, in plunges in but retracts regularly to...
