Back on this build. The rails have been ground and mounted This Y axis wood has been sealed so better pictures coming Here is a pic of the start of getting this mounted on the rails. I have some...
I know this has been on pause for awhile. The reason is I moved to Wyoming. This has been reassembled in the new location but is awaiting me finishing my CNC conversion of a 1914 LeBlond horizontal...
Hi Niklas,
I'm in the building stages using one of DMM's 750w kits with the DYN2 drives. It came with their BOB and I think you need to use it to run their drives so you won't need the 7i25. ...
Just a note for others considering this. I just got one of their 4 axis 750w kits they sell on ebay. I had the exact same question if a higher voltage power supply would be a good upgrade to their...
Got the Huanyang VFD hooked up to the motor today just to check it out and it works fine on the test run. Have the dynamic braking set to 4 seconds and it work perfect. Very surprised on how well...
Thanks Mactec54. Good reminder on the fan for low speeds and the input connection to R and T.
Here is a picture of where I'm at so far. Took 2 days to strip off all the old paint.
Also a...
Hi guys,
This thread may help others as I go into the details of what I think the settings are and why. See if we all agree before I hook this up. Things I'm not sure about have a question mark...
I went ahead and ordered the Huanyang. I should have checked Amazon, I would have saved 10 bucks. $116 delivered but with a few weeks wait from Huanyang. Well see how it goes. If it becomes a...
Hi Guys,
I'm building a drive head for a mill using a 2hp motor. I bought the motor and now looking at VFD's to run it. I know everyone says Huanyang is junk but after reading 10 pages of...
Can't figure this out on the website. Has anyone got the 1100 with a power drawbar and the optional BT30 spindle. I know you can't have an ATC with that spindle.
Setting the tool length to 10 or 11.111 until measured is something I wouldn't have thought of and it is good to know the probe has to be 99. Good info. Keep the tips, methods or ideas coming.
Hi Folks,
Trying to figure out the best methodology for setting up the tool table in PathPilot along with Fusion. Since I'm new to PathPilot I have read snippits about having probes at certain...
Got the controller today and fired it up. It has never been plugged in as it went thru the start-up screens and asked me what machine it was for. This was a great find considering I was going to...
Well it should be fun to see what's inside. It's a brand new complete controller PC built March of this year with a current version of Path Pilot. Has the disks and everything according to the...
Hi Folks,
Just bought a complete 2017 controller supposedly NIB off ebay. I want to use it on a home conversion. Haven't got the box yet but have a couple questions.
Is the Mesa card...
How are folks getting the Path Pilot software? Every link to the DVD says current owners of Tormach machines only.
Been awhile since I have checked in with a progress report on how the standard Acme screws and Delrin nuts are working. I cut the part that was the driving factor behind building the mill and it...
I got asked in a PM about the acme screws. What follows is the answer.
The precision ACME screw from McMaster Carr doesn't need the ends machined. Since it is a belt reduction the hole in the...
And here is a picture of the whole machine. I like the belt drive, and the McMaster Carr screws running in the Delrin seems to be working fine. Whole lot cheaper than ball screws. We'll see how...
So for everyone wanting to cut metal every so often with their X2... works just fine. Made these 2 flanges for an exhaust on a motorcycle. 1/4" stainless plate..
Got the mill back together and it's running great. Milling some 1/4" stainless plate about 4" x 4" for a motorcycle exhaust flange. Cutting ..025 per pass at 3 ipm. It's getting the job done. ...
This build hasn't stopped. Just on pause for a bit. Working on other projects for the moment. Got my cnc mini-mill completed and doing things with it right now. Will be back to this soon.
"An interesting router design, I've never seen one like it"
@Jim Dawson...Then you have been snoozing....
...
Hi All,
Only done one thing with the build. I'm waiting on parts and doing Holiday stuff so the build will slow for a little while.
I loosened all the all thread bolts so I could get the...
If your still looking I started the vertical router build. It's here http://www.cnczone.com/forums/cnc-wood-router-project-log/323264-vertical-router-build.html
Got the oak slats and the rails drilled and bolted on today. The bed is very stiff and the whole has some weight to it which will be nice when it's running. Made one design change. I was going to...
Got the oak cross slats fitted and counter sunk for the large construction screws I'm going the use fasten them to the frames. Their 1/4" x 3" which should work good.
I made two jigs on my cnc...
Got the bed tight with the all thread clamping system. Works very well and the oak end caps work also. That is cheaper and easier to make rather than aluminum. Next will be to mount the bed slats...
Got some of the all thread clamps in today. I decided to cut the large 4.5" end plugs from 3/4" oak to see how well that does. Should be cheaper than 1/2 aluminum plate.
On one end the plug will...
