G.Weike-Abby,

You cant just tell me if your machines can cut 1/4" ABS?


Bec Weir,

OK well why do you say that? I am looking at them because they are in my price range. I really can't afford...

Hi,

Does anyone have experience cutting black textured ABS? I am currently contracting a company to cut my parts but I am considering purchasing a laser if it can do my job. I was wondering what...

Each chain is 45" x 1.9".

I am looking forward to your next post about setting up the LCTHC. I have actually been looking into this unit and am a bit confused about the setup so it will be a nice...

Well Ive got everything painted and put back together. I still need to do some work on getting the wiring all straight but for the most part its done.
...

travmc1,

The units from CandCNC look like they will fit the bill perfectly. I checked with them and it looks like I do not have an ARC OK signal either. I know its kind of a bad question but was...

Thanks for the reply. The majority of my cuts are done on thin sheet metal, usually no more than 1/8" so this isnt a huge problem but one that I would like to fix. What makes me thing that it may be...

Hello,

I am currently running Mach3 with a Gecko G540 driver board using a touch-n-go technique for plasma cutting. My plasma cutter is a Miller 375-xtreme. I am noticing that sometimes my cuts...

The controller box is roughly 13"x13"x4". I agree its a nice box and it goes great with the gecko g540. I actually ended up buying two of them and replacing the box I used on my Taig mill. I am using...

My cable chain was about 1"x2" on the outside...just enough for a db9 plug and a few other wires to fit it so it was pretty cramped. When two DB9 connectors are together they are about 3"-4" long and...

I got my cables from CNCRouterParts. I used the plastic db9 connectors that the gecko g540 comes with and connected them to the cables via those at first but I quickly found that they would cause my...

aj,

This is a good idea. Something else I almost noticed the hard way was that moving the table while the water tray is filled caused the water to slosh around quite a bit. I almost ended up with...

Just an update on my build. A few months ago I purchased some igus cable chains. Its been a long delayed project getting them installed because of the work I wanted to do but its done!! Here are a...

I did a google image search earlier (cant find the pic now) but I located a product that looked like what you are talking about. It was basically an endcap that you screwed the original wires into...

Hi,

I am currently using DB9 connectors and plastic housings to connect my stepper motors to some high quality stepper serial cables and then into my gecko g540. The problem is that these...

IVTAAG, IVTAAS and IVTAAN. Be warned though...It takes about two months to get the IVTAAG rails.

I paid:

VTAAG x1, 64.5" - $149.91
IVTAAS x2, 62.5" - $104.53 each
IVTAAN x1, 23" - $24.47

I have completed my computer stand. I didnt want to attach it to the machine because I often have to rearrange my shop. I will eventually place a piece of oak on there for the keyboard/mouse tray;...

Thanks for the suggestion, ebay looks like the place to buy from. One question though (and this may be a stupid question) but can the chain be unsnapped and shortened? I would assume so just by...

I have been looking around for cable carrier solutions and it seems that this stuff is pretty expensive. I guess its a niche market for this stuff as it seems to run about $15-$20 per foot.... Is...

tulsaturbo,

Do you have a parts list for the rotary axis components? Mainly where did you get your bearing, chuck and the motor to chuck shaft?

Thanks!

Hey,

Well my build has been going on for a few months now. I finally have the table in a place where I have been making test cuts! Woo hoo! Ive really not used my plasma much in the past year of...

Removing that line didn't seem to help. I am guessing its something with this latest version of sheetcam, went back to a previous version and it was fine.

Here is my post processor code for the MP 1000-THC, does this match what you guys are using?


function OnAbout(event)
ctrl = event:GetTextCtrl()
ctrl:AppendText("plasma MP1000-THC post...

Fooled around with the post processor code a bit and it seems that the following codes: G53 G90 G40 have something to do with it. I compared this to the standard Mach3 post processor and it has: G40...

Hey guys,

I'm running into kind of a strange issue. First some background info. I am using Autocad to generate my drawings, just simple squares and circles to start out. I am then using SheetCam...

John,

He does include plans for the table. See winegar's thread for what the table looks like:...

Hey Danno,

I'm currently at the stage of my build where I need to start thinking about the slats and water table. I want to build my slats in a similar way as you so that when they get worn they...

Hi,

Are there any instructions available for the shopdroids plasmabot? I have the BOM's but I didn't see any instructions. I thought I downloaded everything but I may have missed them. Do these...

Finally got them today!

All I can say is that if you plan to build one of these plan for a two month wait.

Well...I think its been close to two months now. Apparently they told my distributor that they were shipped last friday and should arrive this tuesday or wednesday. Turns out they never shipped them...

I am also only lacking the rails and the bolts to attach the rails. I ordered mine from a local company a few miles away from my place. Here is what I was quoted for the rails:

IVTAAG x1, 64.5" -...
