This is where a fiber laser would come in handy. To bad they are so pricey.
@Jacob Tabor may be able to offer some advice. He has cut steel with his LEAD CNC. I would think with trichoidal milling it would be doable. I...
So are mine. I did the top wiring diagram and made no changes to GRBL. [ATTACH]
Try this C-Beam cnc
What drivers?
Now to move to some larger stock! Hopefully now I will not have to worry about the collet hitting the parts on deeper cuts. This was more of an...
As mentioned by the others, an 8mm x 2000mm leadscrew is not ideal. I used a 1/2 inch 5-start precision lead screw for my 1500mm Y axis and have...
