There will be a new page like the one for the mini mill
this page
only it will be the Gantry project
all it ever sees is brass; the chips just fall into the slot; the front nut pushes it up to the front of the slot
I shopvac every 3 or 4th part; yes it could be improved; but after 2 yrs of running...
just changed amount of the meds; the first one started to be in-effective; went from 240mg to 360mg
seems to have made a significant reduction in pressure
I am thinking about this project again;...
thats 7075 t651
better than mild steel
I set the head up loose and use a 1/2" very long core pin in the chuck
Then run a 0.0001 dial up and down the pin; make sure to rotate the pin a few degrees to make sure any run out is eleminated...
well if you don't want to learn from experiance
I'll just take my toys elsewhere
those don't work; I have 35yrs experiance; and they are no good
You need the chair type if your going to actually use one
<10 thou isn't much!>
0.01 is a country mile to a tool and diemaker
<How do edge finders work?>
not very well unless you buy the best
<Another guy says he uses a 0.010" feeler gauge, not...

Use a 1/4 dowel pin
Run it about 500rpm
Lightly touch it with a magic marker
Move it to the edge very slowly (like 0.001 at a time)
Once you see a scuff of the black and see the steel...
I'll be using an old 7 wire plotter interconnect; about 15ft long
As for foil shield; should be great; thats whats inside stepper wire
I always make my own interconnects from Printer ext cables
The PC end is ok; use a multimeter to figure out the wire color codes from the PC end 25pin; then buy another 25pin from Radio Shack and...

< hope u have recovered from the cold >
Actually I found out I had super high blood pressure 210/165; I'm now on Meds for that but I also seem to have a kidey problem that was caused by the high...
yeeeeh
finally a project to read
Nice going so far
exactly
looks like another thread to be moved
Yeap that is better
I did not know i could keep the machine look with a new background; but you can!!
Thanks
comments?
suggestions?
Can everyone see it ok; I know it's not dialup friendly
I don't know about that!!
I met a really good guy who worked out of North Carolina; he got way more than that a yr though!!
I could manage both duties if pushed; electronics is not my strong point...
sounds like your looking for top guys who will work for low pay; thats just not going to happen
Guys with 35yrs experience (like me) need to be compensated correctly
I would move across the river...
I've been working on a web page of this build; the same will be done with the Gantry when i get time; it will be easier to see the whole without wandering through questions etc
new page
not...
I think I'll wait on Mach4
This brings up an interesting question
The big 1Kw Sanyo's
With high count encoders like they have; just how would you drive one to say 3000rpm with the limitations of 45,000 pulses avail in...
I was watching it as it finished the finish cut; whamo this great big bang; the computer screen was all messed up and the mill just stopped moving; i stopped the spindle to have a better look what...
Planer cut; of the 24.5" long battlecruser hull master
I will remove the other 2 avi's as they eat a huge bandwidth
http://www.modelbarrels.com/files/planer.AVI
I'll post another real soon
Maybe tomorrow; it's cutting a Hull 24"+ long out of Corian
I'll get a planer pass
center cutting plunge drill
Or it could be a big spotface cutter; actually it could be both
ANYTIME BUDDY :cheers:
