Pricklypunter, thanks. I disconnected the 4 pin connector from the spindle motor and turned everything back on. The VFW display showed the motor winding up but not
to the full RPM but still it was...

Well today I set my Z height and started a project. The Z height saved to a point somewhere below the table and I didn't notice. At the first instruction the spindle lowered until the collet nut was...

the1toyplace, If you are looking to make a rigid mould there are better options than styrofoam. If you use styrofoam it should be extruded foam not expanded foam (like a cheap drink cooler). It...

UserJ, I do this all the time. I place some verticle bars of stock on the CAD drawing 1/4 " wide that connects all the loose pieces in the interior and use the Meshcam standoffs around the outside....

Saichem2000, I just reread your post. Have you tried running a part off of one of the codes generated by your friend? if it is right your macjhine is probably fine and the new codes are set to...

saichem2000, It sounds like you are making parts in inch units while it is intended to be in mm as the unit. There are 2.54 mm per inch. Anyway I don't know anything about glass cutting and am...

start nc studio. click window, click on perameter, click on manufactory, type the universal password (password is ncstudio), scroll down to what you need to change, make the change, click save....

To oz1411, The ER16 (uses up to 1/4"shanks) can not be converted to
ER20 (which uses up to 1/2"shanks) because the adapter shown fits into
a straight bore and is 3/4 diameter which is larger...

novice82, It sounds like one of the axis is going to a home position. The fact that it doesn't stop at the mechanical limit switch sounds like the X, Y, and Z axis plugs are mixed up where you...

Detrigh, I drew my parts in Cad with the overall dimensions longer in the X direction than the Y direction. The solids were exported as a .stl file into "Meshcam3" to do the G-code. Then I ran...

Sburck, I am useing deep froove ball bearings which are Nachi brand bought from seller irvineman on e-bay. I tried replacing with angular contact bearings and had another bearing failure. To...

Update on two sided machining. Recently I have found another way to set up the two sided parts. I have now made 31 parts this way with no discernable errors on the setup. As with the first method...

Brumby, Thanks. I used your search suggestion on e-bay and ordered two at $9 each with free shipping from Anaheim Ca, vendors name irvineman. The 15x32x9 also found a lot of a bearing number ...

Heeeeeeellllllp!!, Well after 760 hours the spindle bearings on my J-cut 6090B failed. Upon dissassembly I found there had apparently never been any lubricant in them. This is the 1.5Kw 2...

Ironmaster, Yes you install the software on the PC then shut it off and reboot. You will see a message like you mentioned. Then shut it down and plug in the card and restart the computer to get into...

The $2000 declared value figure was given to me by my broker in 2008. There is still the duty fee and shipping from the port to your location but the $375 brokerage fee and most of the paperwork is...

Garyum1957, Been there done that. Since 911 there has been an exponential growth in paperwork. The customs people do not service individuals only brokers. They get involved at a value of $2000. ...

Robert note in the 2 setup pictures there are drill shanks near the edge of the stock inserted through the blank into the spoil board. The holes were drilled with a 1/4" bit useing the router...

Robert, I got pictures back from wall-mart showing machined parts and my set up for flipping the parts on the J-cut. I don't know much about attachments but I will try engine pictures, if that goes...

Robert, I haven't taken any pictures yet. I am producing the patterns from 1" MDF so they are done in from 3 to 7 layers. I am about 1/3 done with the 92 parts and thought I would wait until it is...

Hello all, I use meshcam4 to make rotary engine patterns for metal casting which so far are all 2 sided machining. My first 3 parts didn't line up trying various methods of measureing off the...

Todd, While I was struggling to get my machine to operate I bought Mach3 which runs off a parallel port. I bought a PCI expansion card with a parallel port. The paralel port is a 25 pin and the ...

Todd, I have a Jcut 6090A with 460 hours on the control system. My wentai adapter card for NC-studio failed it's self test last time I started it up so I am broke down. I was wondering if your card...

cityguru, Initially you have to "calirate" the travel distance per step of the motors which is outlined in my post above. As for changing bits I use the set workpiece origon to set the position...

Rob, that's exactly what I needed to know. Sometime this week I can run a few thousand lines of code and try this out. I havent had the display line number checkbox selected because I am runnuing...

Butterknife, I could make separate files or edit in pause commands. Generally after the roughing pass is vaccumed up I let it run overnight on the three finish passes. With separate files or pause...

Just when you think you have screwed up every possible way a new one appears. Today I sprayed some moly dry lube on the ballscrew under my J-cut 6090A and must have touched a limit switch. Execution...

Butterknife, Thanks for the pinouts. I think I may mke up a 15 to 25 pin D-sub cable that can hook up to my spare computer with Mach3 so I could return to NC-studio with minimal fuss. I have...

Prodrones, Several possibilities. First I would mesure a longer length. I lay a piece of flat bar on the table up against the gantry upright and then use the bottom(10mm) incremental jog to move...

Desmond, My NC studio is version 4.53 and came with a 600mm by 900 mmwork area. It is advertised as an engraving machine also. You might contact SALE CNC Router Milling, CNC Laser, CNC...
