VFD = Variable Frequency Drive. If you didn't see that in your setup instructions, you don't have it. We can rule that out as a source of...
Yes, on the USB cable. If that doesn't work, you can try using shielded power cables as well. Do you have a VFD powering a spindle? That can...
Ok, lets start simple then. Get some ferrite cores, and put them on your data cable(s). They are a cheap thing to start out with. Something...
Do you have ferrite cores or shielding in place?
Well, since this qualifies as a custom build, I'm going to have to figure out how to post a build and document the progress.
You could do what I'm doing and modify the order to reduce the X or Y axis. I'm going going for a 700mm x 1000mm LEAD.
Ok, here is the Excel spreadsheet. I removed the links. Some of them don't go to where they say they do. The 1010 is first, and I removed the...
Well, I went ahead and ordered it. I've already been in contact with support about the custom cuts I needed. I've followed up to that with the...
I just want to make sure I'm getting this right. I went through the parts lists for both. This is going to be for 700mm on the X axis. Also, i...
@Rob Taylor , thank you! I appreciate the reply, plus looking through your build for your machine, gives me a better grasp on what my range of...
Ok, I guess I should break it down a bit more. From casual searching, I'm not seeing DFU nuts for screw diameters under 16mm. Am I missing them,...
Ok, back again. Thinking a little bit more about this, I'd also be happy to go with scrapping my current X and Z axes, and go entirely with a...
I've posted about my machine before. I do want to convert it to ball screws and linear rail bearings, along with some other upgrades. The...
Rob, I'm going to be posting a question soon about a ball/rail conversion, and given your experience, I'd appreciate you looking it over.
I know it has the ability to do so, but as evidenced by my experience, even with only about 60 hours of exclusive use on wood, I've got a Dewalt...
Oh absolutely. I was getting a couple of suggestions for getting the 2.2, but since I'm mainly going to be working with wood, and maybe some very...
Just to follow up, and for your amusement. Actual spindle runout is 0.015". I'm picking up a new router today since I've got time-pressure...
Ok, retention nuts back on the setscrews on the anti-backlash nut blocks. Setscrews adjusted to give some resistance on the leadscrew, but not...
Since this based off of a Sainsmart machine, it still has the original plate on one side of the gantry base, and it isn't adjustable that I can...
Ok, I'm getting out of round (slightly about ±0.010" variation) again. And my location of cut is off, and the size of my circles are off a bit...
