Sounds like a very sensible plan. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Hi Gray, Be my guest. :) Builds tend to get buried over time so if you think it would help others please copy all you want my friend. Tweakie.
Hi Paul, Thanks for posting the excellent video which clearly demonstrates the need for screened / shielded cables for inputs such as limit /...
You are, of course, quite right - I should have said zero the X axis DRO then MDI; Go X1. ;) Tweakie.
Mach3. :) Although a lot of work and effort is now being put into Mach4 it will still be some time before it has been refined enough to be truly...
Another interesting idea but I am afraid it may be a little on the slow side with regards to reaction time but thank you for your suggestion - I...
Hi Ali, What I generally do is create a PCB tool path in CAD/CAM with the origin (X zero, Y zero) at the bottom left of the workpiece and Z zero...
Hi Ali, I do not actually use soft limits within Mach3 but the following 3 items relate to the way in which I carry out tool position setting...
Hi Ali, If all the information you have provided about your set-up is correct then yes MDI; G0 X1 will move the X axis 1mm. Tweakie.
If that is the case then… For your X axis; 1000 steps moves the axis 8.53mm 1000 / 8.53 = 117.23329 steps per unit (mm) Calculate the other...
Hi Ali, It is not a stupid question that you have asked – it is a very valid question. One point I am not sure about… If you rotate your X axis...

An excellent build and a truly excellent presentation. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Sounds like you have calculated your steps per unit incorrectly. Either re-calculate them (using belt/screw pitch & microsteps per revolution) or...
Very interesting design for a Z axis. At first sight it looks a little over complicated but it would certainly be rigid. Tweakie.
Hi Kyo, Sorry to say, but at the present time there is no provision for deleting an attachment. It will be fixed in the future but may take a...
Hi Joe, I am pleased the .xls version of the calculator worked OK for you. :) The stock situation of the Parts Store is not within my control -...
Interesting concept, I certainly like the idea of an electromagnetic brake on the main shaft - thank you for the suggestion. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Hi Winand, They have been made tight and will loosen-up (bed-in) with use. Running them back and forward with a drill a few times (no lubrication...
