For aluminum, I've been using a pretty small step down (multipass depth) of .25mm. any more than that causes badness on my cbeam. though, true...
By the way, I have been using a v-bit to just mark the holes (.2mm deep) and then drill them on a drill press. Allows me to use arbitrary size...
David can give the definitive answer but if you select a bit the same size as your hole it just plunges. You can also select peck mode if your...
From the sounds of it, you don't actually own an offline GRBL controller. If you buy one, you can buzz it out like Peter suggested. I'd bet the...
Went through the same process but didn't find anything liked. Pretty easy to draw up the design on your own. I made mine by taking measurements....
If you successfully build (Verify) the app in grbl/examples/grblUpload, the Upload button will upload it. You don't really need to know where the...
Maybe you should say what you tried to avoid having to answer super basic questions like: installed arduino software? downloaded the grbl master?...
While steady state 400 mm/s is possible, moving 400 mm in one second from a standing start is a challenge. Not only acceleration but deceleration...
Take a look at bCNC.
Yeah. and if the gears/whatever are hard to see, you can make a first guess and then see how far an axis moves and adjust from there. Example:...
Agreed. Don't. To amplify, it will require a mach 3 license and a PC with a parallel port. An Arduino and a shield will be much cheaper and do fine.
Or, change axis direction in grbl. I'm away from my computer but it is like $3 or $4.
Best to use shielded wiring. If you are going to use those Open Builds limit switches, you will still want shielded wiring - noise can be...
I agree with alex, it's very unlikely to be GRBL unless the differences are highly repeatable. I like those drivers - amazingly quiet. I've used...
It's possible something is loose or binding. Carriage, motor coupler, motor mount, frame. When checking axis movement binding, do the whole...
G-Code by hand? For something like this, it's not hard but it will get old, way fast. A decent CAM will not only help avoid typo errors like you...
That's why my system is on a single power strip with the switch easily accessible (and not very close to the machine). I see a difference...
Replacing the control board may be easy though it may well be more expensive than just the drivers. Way too many degrees of freedom to answer...
No bigger doesn't mean better. You just need to size your drivers to your specific steppers and intended application (with a little extra...
Probing is simplicity wrapped up in a confusing package. First, in GRBL there is a group of 5 G code commands that all do something very similar...
