Hi everybody,

My brother and I own a small industrial design facility, and bought this tool with the intention of using it for prototyping. Fast forward, we are no longer prototyping in-house very...

The reason I was doing it the way above is because I'm not the brightest bulb, I just assumed that was the easiest way to get it done. I'll go ahead and do one alarm per input.

I've been trying to figure this out. I oil the leadscrews often, but the binding seemingly is pretty random. It mostly happens in the x and y axis, but has happened once on the z. It seems to usually...

Hi Craig,

Thanks for your response! The following is from the manual (https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/download/CL57T.pdf)

I took a stab at making a diagram for the alarm e-stop, does this look correct?

Hey all!

I'm pretty new to the CNC world. and am currently running a small Taig mill with a Geckodrive and 2NM steppers. The system itself works pretty well, but I'm running some long toolpaths...

Thanks Andrew! I appreciate your quick response. That tooling plate looks like an interesting option. To keep my vertical height in check, I'm leaning towards bolting directly to the table.

Hey everybody,

I'm new here, and to CNC machining in general, and I'm seeking advice for work holding setups for my Taig.

The parts I'm cutting are simple small injection molds in 6061 aluminum...

Checked all 3 axis and they had resistors. I've noticed that my steppers make a lot of noise at idle, it's like a hum. I figured it was a noisy power supply, they seemed to operate normally. Thought...

I opened up the control box to take a peek inside. Pretty empty in there. The extra outlet isn't wired and it looks like there's a spot for a fuse holder that's been plugged. No additional...

Interesting, I'll have to check this out. I didn't put together the control box so I'll crack it open and see if there are resistors in place.

Thanks for all your help everybody, I'm going to...

My binding issue happened once when I was cutting with 1/32" bits at 10,000 RPM and removing 0.005" per pass (the bits are really delicate), so I don't think it's an issue with cutting force. I...

Hey everybody,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm a product designer by trade and I'm very new to this stuff, so I appreciate your patience and assistance.

I recently bought a Taig CNC...
