The first has 4 wires and the second has 8 wires...

I am planning on using Gecko's and it will be for a CNC plasma cutter.

In what cases will you use the first stepper with the high mH?
...

Hi.

I am studying a few steppers motors and was wondering what the characteristics of each motor will be... Both are Nema 23,look the same and has the same weight.

In the left corner we have a...

Thanks for the info.... ;)

That is just brilliant news...

Thanks.

That is excellent news!!! I will be buying my G540 shortly then... ;)

Thanks.

Hi.

I am looking at buying a breakout board for 4 x Gecko G251's.

The CNC4PC C11 looks like the good candidate in my case.

My concern is,will it be able to drive 4 separate stepper drivers?...

It all looks very good. I am building a system that will need 4 stepper drivers. The only concern I have is the G540 design where the XYZ and A drives are not the same driver boards. This is a pain...

Hi James,

I thought the G540 had 4 identical G250 boards on it?

I need 4 stepper drivers and was looking at the G540,but if what you are saying is the case then I would rather go for 4 G250's...

Thanks Martin,

I am excited to get the items fitted.

Thanks for everyone's help,I should be able to get the job done now. :)

Thanks for everyone's input.

I will try and get a 1/4" reamer and use it on my lathe.(I might as well buy a reamer instead of a drill bit because I will have to do 6 or more of these pulley's)
...

The T5 pulley has an ID of 6mm and Nema 23 has an OD of 6.3mm.

Was just wondering if that little 0.3mm was for press fitting it... :)

Hi.

I want to connect a timing belt pulley's to a stepper.

How do I go about doing this?

The T5 pulley's I am looking at has a 6mm ID and the Nema 23 steppers I have has a 1/4" shaft....

:) Thanks John, I cleaned out my inbox.

Thanks for the link to the photo's... The machine looks really nice!!!

Thanks for everyone's replies. [Big John T] I think you are asking the right questions...

A THC makes a huge difference and I will eventually get one. But for now my biggest goal is to get that...

Hi.

I am in the process of building a CNC plasma cutter. The main purpose of the machine will be to cut sheet metal.

Do I need to have a THC or will it work if I manually set the torch height?...

Hey... Those parts look great!!!

Forgive me but I am still in the dark ages and parts like that takes for ever to make it in my little work shop.(Lots of manual labor involved and then its not...

Thanks Jon,

Pictures would be much appreciated. I would like to build a machine that would be able to cut proper straight line and circle cuts out of 2mm(0.07") sheet metal. If it can do more...

Hi There,

I agree that Plasma is not accurate compare to a CNC mills or laser cutters. But I keep on asking do I really need that accuracy from a budget machine. This kind of table opens up a lot...

Hi there..

Great design!!! Do you have any pictures of some of the cuts you have made and what was the thinnest sheet metal you have cut with it?

Thanks for sharing your design with us.
Bert.

Thanks for that...

Both KelingInc and Homeshopcnc.com are out of stock on the steppers I am interested in.

So I will have to wait a while.

Homeshopcnc has a 570 nema 23 stepper that looks...

I noticed the morph function... How does that work? Does it start with micro stepping and then switch over to full steps?

Thanks for the reply.
Bert.

I am starting to think the same thing...

Mistakes happen and getting replacemnet parts take time and lots of extra money.

Where did you get your Stepper motors from?

Thanks again for all...

Is it worth spending the extra money on the G203V or will the G201 do?

Interesting!!! I am also interested in doing lathe conversion once the CNC Mill is going. I have a Sieg C6 that needs some steady steppers behind the steering wheel... :P

Hi there,

I had a look at the EZ Plug stepper interface.(Love the plug and play idea!!!)

But you still need a breakout board board,right?

Regards,
Bert.

Sounds good then. I noticed that you did a X3 conversion. I think you said you used 600oz steppers.

Are the motor's up to the task or would you recommend bigger size motor's?

I am thinking of...

Hi there... Thanks for the reply. In you picture,what are the boards connected to the Gecko's?

Regards,
Bert.

Nice... I have been looking at it for a while and it looks pretty good.

How do you find the C11G?

Hi there,

I am working on converting my Sieg X2 Mill in to a CNC Mill.
I have a CNC Fusion kit on its way to handle the machanical part.
(Ball screw conversion for the X2,with NIMA 23...

Those companies that you mentioned are the monopolies of the indistry.(Boc imports welders from China and brand them with their logo's)

Once again the Chinese manufacturers were clever, they...
