I have 3 Gecko Drive G202 on my XYZ stepper motors. When finished my build 5-6 years ago I had this same problem of Y shutting down until it cooled. Now I'm having same problem. I fixed the...

I posted earlier that I had a side movement in my Z axis as I toggle down or up of about 2 mm. I have a new nut and everything seems okay but if I grasp the front plate that attaches the router I...

My Z axis torques about 2mm right or left when I move it up or down. My lead screw nut is mounted on top of the z slide unit. Once I set the unit to zero the router does not move then. It's just...

Looks like in the Diagnostic tab the Emergency select is blinking. That row includes things like input1 input 2,etc in that row. Only the emergency is blinking.

I'm probably the only one using Mach2 but while reviewing Mach3 on my computer I see that the display can be zoomed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I can do that in Mach2.

Hope I'm...

Ok. I will look and see. Thanks.

I have been using Mach2 for years. I would like to go to Mach3 but I can't get it work with XP . It keeps asking to reset Emergency stop. I don't have this problem with Mach2. Tried to review the...

I figured it out. Finally. What I needed to do was go to my Hotkey "y" and reverse it so to reverse the motor. The X was going in the right direction as the monitor showed as it cut, therefore I...

Recently my CPU went down and I lost all settings in my controller. I think have it all back now ( Using Mach2) this is a diy CNC. I've had good success with it in the past. However, I forgot how...

Knock my socks off! Where did yo get the art work? How thick is the stainless?

Thanks. Yes, this will really help.

Yes. That could be a help. Thanks. Will you post it?

If any anyone has a dxf file of a P-bass with pockets, etc., I could use a copy thanks.

I jst go Bobcad and having trouble on a few simple task. I also have the videos but can't find this.

I have a sign I designed. 48" x 8" with lettering. Right now the sign is in the X axis. To cut...

That's about the cleanest machine I've seen. Great job.

I use MACH 2 and I have had great success, however, I touched some control button the other day that makes me have to go to jog to jog.

I mean before i touched something, all I had to do it use...

Not sure if anybody has my problem but my CNC roars like a lion when the Y axis is rotating against the X. My CNC is made of wood and for example when I cut a large circle the Y axis is extremely...

This is just for anyone cutting their first aluminum stock. I successfully cut a 10" wheel out of .25 plate. I did change to a HS bit-single flute. It cut smoother. However my 4 flute did well too. ...

I have not lubricated them. I will try that. thanks

Thanks. What about that roar?

I just cut my first pc of aluminum. It was .25 and I was cutting out a 10" wheel. My setup was about .3 mm increments and 8 inches a minute. I used WD-40 as a lube. From what I could tell the chip...

My x and Z axis are 14 TPI. My Y is 10 TPI. Would my CNC be more accurate with a 14 TPI on my Y-axis?

Too, my CNC works very good but my God... it is loud, especially when the Y axis is in motion....

I'm using 2d Sheetcam. I'm wanting to start at 0 and go down 1". The length of cut is 7 inches.

Can I do that with Sheetcam or 3D cam required?

Thanks

i have the same question. I want to chamfer an edge at at 45 degrees. I use 2d as well. Did you get an answer for this question that worked?

I have drawn up my plans for a mini lathe to work with my XYZ -CNC. I will start it within a few days.

Has anyone here done this. If so, direct me to there site or post.

Thanks

To keep material away from the moving collet you might slide an over size washer (slightly larger than your bit) between mask and collet. ( I don't do this but it should work) This will keep any...

R1 shows the router as is.
R2 shows the router with mask

I have just posted the fix for my dust problem. It should be up soon.

Doing my wood work, I, like so many others, have the dust problem. It gets everywhere. I've tried vacuums, made boxes, forced air, etc, with little progress. Then I found the problem and something...

I have a free "How I build my own CNC" somewhere on this site. (scheek). It may help. You can see the limit switches I used. Yes, you must have them. I've used mine and estop numerous times. I...
