Thanks again.
I have changed $21=0 to $21=1 and confirmed with $$ but still no response from steppers when I press the limit switch.
I have connected one to both min and max on the ramps board...
G'day all,
Just gotta say I love owning a CNC.
These machines are amazing. I have just built my first cnc out of some 12mm ply I had lying around and some Nema 17 steppers I bought about 4...
G'day and thanks for your reply,
I know the ramps board works fine with the limit switches in pronterface and marlin.
The limit switches register triggered when pressed but when I load grbl, I...
I have my homebrew diy cnc machine running a code through Grblgru and am happy with it so far.
I am using a mega 2560 with ramps 1.4 board but cannot get the limit switches to work.
I have a 3d...
Hi,
I am trying to get my new cnc to run.
I have pronterface for my 3d printer and this connects to my cnc and will run a test circle program with a pen with no problems.
I have downloaded...
Thanks Geof,
I have been in this situation many times before. Bought something and a month or year later wished I'd bought a bigger one but having struggled through 30 odd years of making do with...
Thanks Steve,
I checked out those threads and they made for some informative reading.

Tried some disks tonight but no good. The first one seemed to start to form to my mandrel but...
Thanks for the info Geof,
The sheet is very thin and easy to fold/bend so it may be ok. I guess I will know soon enough. I have enough to cut 6 or so circles about 400 mm diameter so I have some...
Yeah, It would be good to be able to afford a $10,000 lathe but no rich rellys or lotto wins yet. Unless you want to contribute to my funds and start me off on the right foot I will have to settle...
Thanks Matt,
I have done some reading on annealing aluminium. Seems too simple. Rub with ordinary soap and heat till the soap goes black. Is this what I need to do with my $1 sheet or do you think...
Thanks Geof and Luke,
I have seen that video but was hoping to catch up with someone who has done this on a forum somewhere for some first hand knowledge and the shortcuts that come from...
Hey Luke,
Just found this link and was wondering how you went with your spinning?
I wouldn't mind trying this on my wood lathe for the experience.
Any advice?

Just found another milling/lathe combo that looks better and cheaper than the AL-60M.
It is an AL-280P Lathe Mill Drill Combo.
The link is Machineryhouse L159 if link doesn't work.

Hi all,
Thinking about an AL-60m lathe milling combo and was wondering about your thoughts as a first lathe/mill.
