First impressions:

The machine seems very sturdy - except the Z-axis seems to suffer from backlash if I pull it with excessive force. This is probably not a problem.

Also - a laptop with a...

My machine came today !!! Yeah! Now I just need to find a PC-CARD Parallel port to get it to work. I'll return.

Looks sturdy enough and weighs next to nothing. I could easily lift it myself, if it...

Yeahh :-) Shipping date is set to 21st of December! Can't be long now - what a joyful christmas present :-)))

I'll let y'all know!

I just ordered this machine and I'll let you all know how it works.

If anyone has experience with this machine, I'd really like feedback. It looks very cool - and the price is just right!...

This is JUST A THOUGHT i have been meddling with for a couple of years. Haven't really researched on this, but might be possible - and might even be very easy! I don't know.

My thought is, simply,...

It did help that much, that I now am aware that someone have purchased a machine from the company troublefree and that the machine seems to be a good design.

Does anyone then know which functions...

Hmm.. Could anyone then just share their ideas and concerns regarding these machines? Just from a point of view of the random visitor...

...OK, since no one seems to know about the first posted link, how about this, then? http://www.autograv.de/CNC-Anlagen/Die_Prazisen/die_prazisen.htm

I found these machines on the internet. Their 1212 machine having a work area of 1220x1220 mm seems interesting at a price of around $4700,- but I have no idea of the machines quality. Anyone?

Forgot to say, that Gcode output might not be 100% compliant, but it works in CNCSimulator...

Hehe! I have just made a small program that makes gcode of greyscale or B&W images. It is not yet finished, as I don't yet have a CNC mill, but you are welcome to use it and alter or redistribute it,...

I have no experience in building stepper motor drivers, but am no stranger to building electronic PCB's etc. Problem is, that shipping to DK is very high, and I can't seem to find any distributor in...

Well.. Parallel port is also an option

Anyone know of a simple, cheap and standards meeting DIY project with diagrams etc. for at stepper driver with RS232 interface?

Try www.rsonline.dk

I don't know. It's taken directly out of the spec sheets on www.rackbox.dk/data.pdf

That would be 1.76 NewtonMeter in holding torque? How about detent? mHm?

Oh, and I have made the pdf with specs available on www.rackbox.dk/data.pdf - anyone would like to help me choose?

I just called the local RS Component warehouse and presented them for the 250 oz/in stepper motor spec. They asked me if I were going to build an industry precision crane for lifting buildings. Might...

I got good answers to similar questions on http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7146

thanks a lot! Just keep posting, as I am loving all this information!

Is there any rules or advice as to how many steps pr revolution and should it be uni- og bipolar? Anything else I have forgotten about the motors?

How do I make sure, that the milling head does not exceed the frame boundaries?

thanx - that helped a lot

I read the excellent guide about choosing the right motor, but being a newb I find myself still confused. Link to the article: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3387
