It's a neat idea but I still prefer to do it with a measuring tape since I prefer the longer distance for the calibration. He uses 100mm where as...
How did you get the 4 LED in a series to work on 120V AC or do they work on 12V DC?
To quote from that site: "Braided shields on cables should connect directly to the PE terminal on the drive, as this setup gives the best possible...
Come on!!! Everybody knows it's the dog's fault! :D I have a similar VFD. My spindle is not water cooled but I don't think that that matters. I...
LOL! Some people have way too much talent for their own good.
If you are going to buy a spindle buy one with an ER11 Collet. If you have the 1/2" spindle already, use it but use it mostly with a 1/4" collet...
LOL, in a while??? HAHAHA...4 years! :D Good to hear you're having fun with it. Love the signs, well, except the 'let is snow' one. We had enough...
I think you underestimating the voltage generation a bit, Tim, but the best way to verify it is to hook up a volt meter to any pair of the motor...
Holly guacamole, Rob. Looking at theses pictures the first thought that came to my mind was 'he must have $10,000 just in screws in this project'!...
A Sillyscope? How does a Sillyscope comes to play with building a CNC machine?
Do you find you need to retension the screw every now and then or is it for a one time tension and then it is removed?
I had the same problem. What I've ended up doing is put a capacitor between the in pin of the limit switch and the ground and my problem was...
Sam, if you get slippage on the 20t you are overtaxing your hardware, and I don't mean the 20t pulley. Maybe slow down the machine? Maybe use a...
Dave, google 'dust shoe' and you'll get lots of pictures that will show you options on how to mount a vac hose on a spindle.
I read the WIKI but I'm not sure how to do it. On Pi everything is on a SD card. My question is how do I install it on the SD card? I get how to...
Once you get it to work with grblHAL I will gladly keep using Control. I'm using it now but I want to move to the Teensy 4.1 and grblHAL.
Does anyone knows how to install bCNC on a Raspberry Pi? I'm searching the net for days now and all I find is 'I have a bCNC on my/a Pi' but no...
I prefer to add the Loctite AFTER I finished my machine, calibrated it and run a test or two to make sure it runs correctly. It would be a pain in...
My $0.02 is to go with option 1. If you sell your machine and buy a new one you will have to buy all the electronics too and steppers and router...
I don't think that the pulley is a concern to you, I think it's the stepper. 72oz/in steppers are kind of way underkill for a CNC router. Having...
