You are going to need a cad program for design and then a cam program to generate the g code. Mach 3 has Lazycam built into it. BUT sadly it's...
For a machine as simple as these are, when they don't work right it can seem like you are chase your tail. I'm sorry it's the board, but happy you...
I'm looking at the board photo as blown up as I can get it and bare in mind I'm not familiar with it at all, but are the motor leads on the right...
Are the steppers identical? Sorry to question this, but it really does sound like a wiring problem. One test you can try is to use a wire to jump...
Is your stepper plug wired correctly?
Thanks Martin. A couple notes about stepper motors might be a good start then. First of all you need to understand that stepper motors generate...
Martin - is there a reason you are looking at the Ox? If you need a 4x8 machine, I guess the answer would be no, don't go there, but there's at...
That's a huge difference in those parts! I wasn't aware there were any clones out there except the Inventable's wheels and they are nothing like...
Hi Martin, welcome aboard and back to the hobby/profession/obsession. :) The easiest answer is that it can be as big and powerful as you want it...
Yep. Should have bought a 2kw since they can utilize 3/8 bits, but it works great for the price.
I finally built a machine that was sized to fit the water cooled spindle; [IMG]
BTW, I should have added that I mostly cut wood, it seems . My metal cutting is always a challenge of plugged up cutters and lots of adjustments...
I'd not order a VFD until you decide on a spindle, and as a person who stuck a water cooled spindle and VFD on a Shapeoko - I'd not suggest you go...
Thanks pal. I was looking every place EXCEPT where it was. :) Best wishes.
Hi Kyo. What RPM and feedrate would you recommend for this in AL with a 1/8" 2 or 4 flute carbide cutter? I'm never sure about this because I cut...
Nice job Friend! One of the many things I have wanted to play around with was cutting parts for a quad. I've printed several things with a mixed...
Nobody says you must reinvent the wheel (or ox) with each build. Not even I would hand thread each bolt and nut, but that 25hp spindle motor...
Hi Rick. They are also in white, black and about every other color. It seems like somebody decides they have too much of some paint color in stock...
Hi Jonatan. You can trust that yours are all 4988's if they work without reversing the orientation of the adjustment screw. As we were noting, if...
Mostly, but I've had a couple sets that were not marked or the screen printing placed the needed info in a solder join. The real problem is that...
