I believe I would type in a command to move like G0 X200. As for my settings, my current gantry weighs about 37 pounds. It is a custom build...
There is a formula for the ratio for design graphics on a rotary due to the artwork being on a curved surface. Sadly I can not remember it. You...
That is correct. However, they effect one another. So for example if you get your max speed up to 7000mm/min and it is at that point just below...
You may need multiple stackable stepper motor shields. I think an arduino board can only handle 3 with drivers. But i could be wrong.
Is this a CNC machine using grbl to make precise moves, or do you just want to move it manually?
That is easy. Just put two holes in your drawing. If using Vectric software place these wholes on both layers of the drawing. On the first side,...
What size of endmill? Is the work piece securely fastened? The only times I have had chatter was when I didn't get the piece securely fastened...
I think those videos Peter linked show it better than any picture I can take of my machines. Besides, I built them as the videos show.
There is hearing protection available. I use it all the time due to the noise of both the dust collector and the spindle.
I did not know that. How often can you download the trial version.
Also, never rely on the coupler and the bearing in your stepper to hold the screw rigidly. There can be internal play in the stepper motor. There...
If your laser mount came with a drawing showing where the beam is centered, and you know it is in line with the endmill, then using that...
I have not yet upgraded to V 12 of Vcarve so I can't open that project. Did you cut out the board, or was the board pre-cut? Was it slightly...
It is probably M2 or M3. If it were me, I would not replace it with a grub screw. I would replace it with a socket cap (if there is room. That...
I have used a 12 foot USB cable for 8 years with no issues. But it is just a simple CNC Router, not plasma. The cable runs well away from...
What kind of sensor? If inductive, is it PNP or NPN? If you are having issues, microswitches are easy, cheap, and accurate.
I run 1 meter on a 1.5 meter axis. I just mount one end to the tool head/Z axis and the other to a point on my support piece the chain is fastened...
If it is erratic, then you may have a loose wire in you z Stepper cable.
I use one Y set of wires because the rotary axis only has one stepper motor. You need to unplug the other Y or that side will try moving when Y...
If using the Demon Post processor as is, you could use either. But disconnect both from the Y steppers or one side will try to move. That post...
