Anyone heard a status report from DeWayne this week? I hate bugging him individually.
I am over 100 days since my order.

I have had the pleasure of doing business with both Camtronics and CandCNC - multiple times. Both are top-notch. Great service and great quality from both. In my opinion you cannot go wrong with...
I have searched for high quality AC bearings of the same size and so far not found any that would fit. I do not claim I have made an exhaustive search.
The ISO model number for the standard 3...
Deviant's picture above sets the stage for half of the backlash discussion. It is in fact a great way to look at how one secures the lead screw at one of the ends.
By the way, in the picture that...
Chris,
The lady CSR did not mention what the Quality issue was/is. (I should have asked - sorry.)
I have been buying stuff from them for years. I naturally look in on the web about what...
As noted in a previous post, my most recent word (early last week) was that the batch of SX3's my order was in was expected to be in on the 27th with mine shipping a week or so later.
After seeing...
I got an email back from a querry I sent today regarding my Grizzly SX3 G0619 order that was placed on December 27th.
"We appreciate receiving your order. After reviewing your order, I am showing...
Barry,
As already noted, none have shipped.
I am hanging in, at least for a while since it appears it is finally close. I must confess that I would very likely pull the plug if there are any...
Woodenspoke,
I use the fully assembled Mini-IO 2 with both ports AND the MPG-02A w/20 buttons. I actually have two of the "boxes" and move the MPG accessory between the two (hard for me to...
David,
A hint for future mains wiring with transformers, should the need arise :-)
A UL/CE certified CHASSIS (not PCB) transformer SHOULD have its input and output lead wires (as already...
David,
16 AWG stranded or larger for margin. Standard lamp cord (18 AWG) split apart will generally do OK if you do not already have a roll of 16 AWG hookup wire. Do not go smaller than 18 AWG....
David,
For the pictured transformer, which side of the INPUT (RED's vs. BLACK's) that is wired to hot and neutral MAINS does not matter at all electrically.

David if I read the drawing right (pretty sure!) what you have is a transformer capable of being wired 120/240 primary and it is a Center Tapped Secondary capable of delivering 12VAC x 2 or 24VAC x...
Hey Jay, great stuff!
Just for the record.
Your torroidal transformer steps the 120 Volt AC DOWN to 50-ish AC (the 50-ish number is based on what you said).
The bridge rectifier (which...
Buzz,
Point taken on the safety glasses - that won't happen again. I feel like an idiot.
Thanks,
George
David,
Looking good!!!
I had to go out of town on business again (unplanned). I am running well behind on where I wanted to be.
I shot a video of my kit actually cutting the Mach Roadrunner...
David/bp092/Joe,
Congratulations David!
I concur that Xylotex should get some feedback from your results. The fact that my build runs fine and yours did not (with Xylotex) yet now runs well...
David,
Note we posted about the same time. Did not want to have you miss my post immediately above.
George
All,
Back a bit more than a week ago when I was having fits with stalling, one of the things I did was to shift to a single Acme nut with two set screws. I drilled the acme nuts on my mill and...

I ran both the z only and the z-y above. No issues.
For the z, I added code to go from f5 to f100 in increments of 5. There were some minor groans in the 15 to 30 ish range but as...
Buzz9075
Ran the first code, started at f100 and dropped by 10 in each subsequent run to get to f50. Other than changing the feed rate, I did not have to change any other lines. Each run was...
Joe,
I plan to post & video what I have done that is out of the ordinary.
The lift, the knock down hinges on the gantry, my cable chain install and the new dust collector I have designed. May...
Fixitt,
My leadscrews are all 1/2 10TPI single start ACME - per Joe's design.
Buzz9075,
Will do, give me an hour or so to get back at it.
George
David,
I have a sample of my system running posted at my .mac homepage
http://homepage.mac.com/gtsullivan/FileSharing1.html
Just to validate that it is possible to run a Xylotex w/425's.
...
A data point since it has been asked for. (I have contributed various posts in the David DaCosta thread on his build of a Joe's 2006 R2 kit for reference)
I built a Joe's 2006 R2 from a kit...
David,
I too noticed the other thread. Does make the Xylotex suspect doesn't?
I put the loose 425 motor wires into short sections of left-over tubing from the z axis bearing slide build. I...
David,
I dug into the specs and cannot tell based on the links I visited (a dozen or so) that list info about the Sherline supplied motors if my theory has any validity. I most definitely did not...
David,
Not to dispute....the smaller motors may not be as capable of acceleration as the larger ones are. You may recall I stated the driver board purposely limits current. It is within the...
David,
Shooting in the dark here but when I was having alignment issues, I could generally count on good results when my axes were at mid travel (mid 1/3 for each). I could almost always get fast...
David,
I definitely have heard that sound before. In fact, I can reproduce it at will with my setup by setting the max speed too high or binding the movement of any of the axes.
That sounds...
