Hi @Cortellini - your PDF attachment doesn't seem to have worked. Alex.
Indeed - it is easy to overlook the risks in what seems like a harmless activity and stuff we take for granted. A temporary lash up is fine for...
Hi Kevon, you are, of course, correct, but we live in a world where we need to take care what we advise other people to do and any growth...
Hi @Aleksejs, I know nothing about water cooling spindles, but the coolant in cars is water - with anti - freeze added - not something you are...
Is it this board? 3-Axis GRBL USB Driver Controller Board I had a look at their website but couldn't find any details of how it should be...
Hi @Chuck Carver, what controller board are you using and is it compatible with grbl? The cheap Chinese machines are often "designed" to work with...
These are for the anti-backlash nut on the Z axis. The bolt screws into the hole on the top of the anti-backlash nut and forces the slot to open....
Hi @ian McFadden, that looks really interesting! I'm away for a few days, but I'll definitely have a play with that when I get back. Many thanks,...
Well that would seem to rule out any mechanical component to the problem. Still puzzling that the Y motors squeal when connected to the X and Z...

It might not be your switches - their leads make a nice aerial and can pick up EMI from mains cables especially. Are you using normally open or...
Hi @ahojekk, without dismantling it to get precise measurements it looks as though the X and Y leadscrews on my 1010 workbee are 1040mm. Alex....
PS - although the stepper drivers on the duet can only handle 2.4A there is no shortage of torque on my leadscrew workbee. I once accidentally...
