How do you complete the machining of the wide end? (Just curious! )
Does it *need* to be simultaneous? If not, you would 'just' need a CNC lathe (with either one or two tool posts) which would be relatively...
Double (and triple) check that you don't have the 'step' and 'direction' connections crossed over. Almost impossible to check from the photos as...
Have you tried sending $X ? The message implies that the controller has homing enabled, and requires homing at power up, or ‘$X’ to override
What controller are you using? What sort of speeds (mm/min) are you trying to achieve? What GRBL settings are you using? (acceleration in particular)
To answer this question specifically: No, you shouldn't lubricate the collet. Clean them with something like WD40 to remove any oil or chips and...
FWIW, I would take the earth from the VFD directly back to the tag on the EMI filter, where the earth from the supply is also connected. If you...
The table in the first link has the angle, but it may not show immediately on a smaller screen - However if you were to click on the tool number...
Yes, what Peter said - in the supply to the VFD (to protect the rest of the world against interference generated by the VFD).
Don't overlook the possibility of interference travelling through the mains wiring. Especially if the VFD is plugged into the same power strip as...
Yes, that's a DC motor. You will need to use its original power supply. (Be careful, as many of them don't isolate the output from the mains...
Home is the mechanical limit of the machine. 0 (zero) is where you want your work to start from IOT = 'Internet of things' (i.e. devices that...
One of the axes is inverted: Check which direction it moves when jogging and change what ever step direction you need to get X+ moving to the...
Have you tried any other post processors? I can't vouch for it, because I can't test it, but came across this relating to GRBL multi axis /...
That does make sense: When you click the 'XYZ Goto Zero' button, the default action is to try and raise the tool above work Z zero (by 5mm, I...
I suspect that the poster above was mixing machine coordinates and work coordinates. Could you describe in a bit more detail the issue that...
Yes - go to 'Wizards and Tools' then 'Customize Keyboard Shortcuts' (I did exactly the same thing - well broke a tool, anyway.) [ATTACH]
It really depends on what you are trying to do. 99.9% of the time I rely on the post processor to generate the GCode (which includes setting the...
Hey! Glad it worked out, and thanks for the feedback :)
That should put it in incremental mode (G91). That actual command doesn't do anything else though - You could just send G91 on a line of its own....
