Swede,

I don't understand the ballvalve suggestion you gave above. Can you ellaborate?

My current routine is to shut off the manual trico switch, close the trico air flow knob, and then purge...

Is anyone having this problem with their trico units? I have a manual unit and when I use the cutoff switch, the air and coolant flows stop but the tip will drip coolant. Is this normal?

In my...

Well, look what the fisherman just brought in.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7502338871

Too bad I just got my unit setup. Maybe someone else can take advantage of this.

Okay, here's some fresh information for anyone looking to go this route.

The ebay offering for these units is very slim indeed. I set a search but still no hits. Finally ordered from...

Bump.

Has anyone used this probe with Mach2 and Gecko setup? Is it just the probe or do you need some type of hardware controller to interface to something non-DeskCNC?

Hi all,

I'm looking at the non-misting spray coolant systems for milling aluminum. So far I've found two products, md-1200 micro-drop from TRICO and the Fog-Buster .

They both seem to use the...

Sorry. Did you mean you got the compressor or the md-1200 on ebay?

Does this thing provide it's own air supply or do I have to have a seperate shop compressor? And, at $400, does anyone know a good source for this beast?

Sure, I can help with this. Send me your details.

I'd be in. Let me know how I can help. The highest bipolar IC drivers I've found are from Allegro.... 35V 2.5A max. And their unipolar drives go up a little higher amps.

For H-bridges.... There's...

OKay. The skinny on this is that they are made by gecko for Lin Engineering. I didn't inquire about the cost.

Look another gecko look alike... has anyone seen these?

That'll work. Thanks. :)

Here's a silly question. Where can I purchase these things besides the gecko home page? Does anyone offer package discounts? I need a 3 ~ 4 channel setup.

Thanks, Michael

I have plans to get a Taig desk mill. It'll be CNC ready. My question for the learned CNC'ers is what accessories should I have/order while the mill is being shipped (8 weeks lead time)?

I plan on...

Phil, do you have eagle files for the 3977 board? Can you send/post on your site please?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I guess they will make due as the DRO inputs.... albiet lame duck when microstepping.

Thanks B. I'll try them out. I still need to figure out what to do with the encoders.

Anyone used the Tamagawa brand steppers, TS 3643 NI, 282 oz/in, 2.2v/4.6amp, with built in encoder?

I'm investigating parts for a cnc retro of mini-mill (Homier). My second question is, what use...

Hi all, I'm a newbie to CNC and to this group. Thanks for supporting the forum.

I'm researching the parts to build/retro a CNC mini-mill. I found some ball screws and nuts that are well within...
