Most use a 4 drive shield for this and slave the 4th axis as an additional Y-axis
Any chance you could provide a circuit diagram for this? Thx.
The lock nut is used to help prevent the set screw from loosening. [IMG]
Actually the plates shown are C-Beam® Gantry Plate - Double Wide which are wide enough. You will need to use Cast Corner Bracket clips though to...
If I'm following what you're asking, yes, C-beams can be used for side vertical risers. There are already several examples of this on the forum....
Sad to hear about Kress. I found another source based on an article found here. That source also had another system listed but it was only based...
@Gary Johnson, here is another post you may wish to take a look at:...
File attached. Hole spacing shown for C/C of mini-V wheels is 11.9mm + section depth (20,40,60,etc).
It's not specifically stronger, it just allows you to keep the bit extension distance from the main support beam shorter thus reducing the...
Going back to the original question, the farther the bit extends from the X-axis gantry beam, the more leverage you have on the system and the...
A minor rework of this concept should get you there by installing Y-axis actuators at the bottom similar to the mini mill rather than the rotary...
Steel reinforcing doesn't do anything for concrete until it cracks. But once it cracks the system won't be of much value anymore as now you'll...
This does pop up occasionally. What type machine, OS, and browser are you submitting from?
If you wish to cut metal (or anything else relatively hard) don't even consider this. System rigidity is key when cutting metal and jacking the...
I assume you are referring to the Inventables mount. This mount is easily adapted to V-slot by either drilling holes top to bottom 60mm apart...
Unfortunately no and for three basic reasons. There are way too many builds to keep track of all the various parts involved, many of the builds...
All in one machines generally require a number of compromises but overall this seems a workable concept. When you say light CNC, I'm assuming you...
Good so far but now comes the hard part. How do you plan on controlling it?
These are hobby grade parts designed for light hobby grade loads, nothing more. Data at the level you seek does not exist.
I understand your concern on the internal wheels but wheels on the inside are fine in this case due to the counteracting wheels on the far end of...
