When it binds in the X axis the two gantries start making a resonant vibration sound that gets louder until the steppers bind. There is some kind...
The biggest issue I have with my current machine is it's slow in both speed and acceleration. I know that the time a complex carve takes is more...
I use the XPro V5 with my Lead 1515 machine. I use their web interface (ESP32) to set grbl settings, and I use CNCjs for running GCode files,...
I bought this spindle kit: https://www.makerstore.com.au/product/bun-spin-1500-water/
Thanks for the tip. How fast can you make it travel along the X axis? Mine is set to 3200mm/min max as anything about that and there's a...
As for spindle/VFD cabling, I'm using braided 4 core cables I got from makerstore.com.au:...
I'm using a 1.5kw water cooled spindle on my Lead 1515 (high Z mod) and I like it over my other CNC machine's Makita. The water cooled spindle has...
I've just completed the the lead 1515 high Z build and finally have it cutting. I wasn't keen on the way the plans call for the spoil boards to be...
Perhaps I'm underestimating the amount of force while cutting. The reason for my comment is that I've just spent a couple of hours ensuring the...
I think the flex caused by the weight of the Z axis and spindle due to gravity would greatly exceed any flex caused by a moving Y axis.

My go to bit for roughing passes is a long shaft 8mm 2 flute end mill. This has an 8mm shank. On my Makita this is fine. I have a 1.5kw water...
Sorry if this has been asked, but can this connect to the XPro V5 controller? It's not obvious to me which inputs it would plug into.
Thanks for your help. The binding is definitely mechanical in nature, I can tell it's going to bind at the X gantries get a build up of what sound...
Are the parts from makerstore.com.au are unofficial? They do claim to be a distributor of OpenBuild product. Can you confirm how tight the wheels...
Hi Peter, I bought it from makerstore.com.au (it's much faster and cheaper to buy it from there as I live in New Zealand). Thanks, Allistar.
I've just completed the build of my lead 1515 with the high Z mod (everything apart from the spindle, that's on back order). I've been tuning it...
I've changed it to 8 x microstepping and the steps/mm axes is 201.25, which is pretty close to the nominal 8mm/rev. Thanks for your help.
Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply. I mistakenly assumed that microstepping of 1 was the preferred way to go. I thought if power to the steppers are...
Hi all, I'm nearing the end of my Lead 1515 build. I'm using the XPRO V5 controller. I have all motors working in the correct direction. I'm...
