No pete I didn't lubricate it and I should have. Using a timber tool should I use wax? I think I'm going to take your guys advice and try a double acting press tool to see if I get better results. If...
Thanks pete, I did look into spinning before trying the press. I do have a lathe but it's a little to small for this part. My lathe is only good for 12" and this parts flat pattern is 14". I have a...
I have a part that I make quite a few of. It is about 12" round with a 1" flange 3003 Aluminum 16Gauge. Which makes it some what of a headache to form manually. Up to this point I form the flange...

Just got a 240t 3 axis press brake at work this week. With a delem 58t controller. We're having issue with the Y axis moving down after referencing. The X and R are fine. After setting up a part and...
I haven't found one. I'm having issues with a Da-58 controlled machine. For some reason I have an offset on my Y1 and Y2 Axis which is preventing me to go down. Did you ever have any luck finding the...
I ended up going with a 10hp and vfd. I found a Baldor motor local, brand new for 250$. Their company stocks spare motors and when they "expire" if they haven't been used they sell them at a...
Thank you all for the advice. Ill go ahead and replace the motor. I will probably go with a 7.5kw motor. Is there any benefit in going with a servo on the spindle if i dont need positional control?...
I recently purchased an Emco turn 242 from a local school. Everything seems to be in good condition on it. Im upgrading it to a newer control and electronics. Im curious about keeping the spindle...
I cant find anywhere that there would be a loose connection to cause arcing. everything is pretty neatly wired and shrink wrapped. I cut it off the x axis just to check. all seems good. any other...
I tried facing off some mdf, just straight line cuts only about 1/8 to 3/16 deep at 100 ipm with a 3/8 carbide endmill. randomly my x axis will jump. normally in one direction. I tried reducing my...
sorry ive been working crazy hours and haven't had a chance to check back in. did you ever get a chance to look at your settings? ive went over the ports and pins several times. switching different...
and my output voltage of the c6 is staying pretty constant no matter what the rpm at about 2.2v. now the input voltage is adjusting up and down depending on rpm. not sure if that in turn has to do...
ok now I'm getting some sensible readings from the multi meter. if I could get the base hz setting that its supposed to be set at I may be in business. I set it to 100 just to try. another issue I...
no I had it set to step/dir. when I change the ess config to pwm mode. what value do I put in for the base hz? or just a rough value to start from. thank you very much, this puts me one step closer....
ive been messing with this again today. still getting no where. ive sent emails to the cnc4pc guys, the smooth stepper guys for help. haven't received any replies from anyone. I'm stuck. if anyone at...
just got my cnc router put together and got all of my wiring finished. I have everything working as it should except the spindle. ive tried everything I know to try to get it working. ive read the...
so what I'm having problems with is the thc on/off on the main screen of mach3. if I bring up a fresh plasma screen I can turn it on/off no problem. as soon as I load the ess plugin I loose the...
I have everything wired up now, but the arc ok I have wired from the proma unit to the bob of the stepper. should I rewire it as you have stated? I'm just ready to get this thing to fire. I want...
does anyone have or know of a post processor for fusion 360 that will run a mach3 powered plasma?
I've been looking all over for a good description on how to wire the cnc port on the everlast pp80s, the proma thc, to the smoothstepper but cant seem to find much info. if anyone has done this, or...
Wish I would have now, but the bottom of the table is seal welded to the outside rails. If the 40 thou isn't going to hurt me by much I'll just roll with it. I doubt I'll be making to many full...
so ive been building my first cnc plasma over the last few weeks. its just a 4x4 with a water table. i finally got the last of my parts machined and assembled them to the frame today. before I...
Actually I think I found somewhere it was 16amps. Not 100% sure about that.
Which would be the better option? The kbmm or kbic? Or are they pretty much the same? Well, the only resistors I found would only go up to 1 1/2hp on the 110v board . I'm just trying to get the most...
Sounds good thanks a lot. On your projects page it has suggestions for an 1100w 1 1/2hp. This one is 2hp at 100v and 1400w so should I just get the 2hp resistor and the 2 25a fuses?
A 125 or 240? Should I run it at the 130v for 2.75hp or just keep it at 2hp with 90v?
I've got a g0704 that I'm trying to upgrade the motor on. I've been researching for days but cannot find the details I'm looking for. I have a motor and controller that I pulled off of a treadmill. I...
