I guess you mean DeskCNC. I was troubleshooting for weeks and made plenty of deffective parts for the same issue. I even cleaned up WinXP and reduced it to the minimum functionnalities required for...
I still haven't come any further with my project except that in the meantime I bought a cam measuring setup from Performance trends.
It is a great time saver for cam evaluation and also for...
Can someone advise the best RPM and feed speed for carbide ball nose router bits of 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" on beech wood plans ?
For the moment I do use DeskCNC as well as Cut3D as the CAM tool to make the G code.
Both lack of some flexibility to make proper tabs in the right postion and right directions. Also they do ct a...
I have lost more than a year trying to find a software method to clean up the steps left by the digitizing probe on the .stl file. To no avail !
A few months ago I got in touch with a company who...
Adobe,
Great to have you back.
I am reading with much interest your project descriptions.
Thanks

Barry,
thanks for your suportive posting.
AS of now I have not implemented the setup but I have made most of the components required.
My main difficulty is to convert digitized cam lobe...
Hi tnik, thanks for hint. DeskCNC is actually CAM/CNC software + controller hardware.
I am trying to smoothen out the 0.5 mm steps resulting from the digitizing with a probe around a wooden propeller. The file is a mesh .STL
Can anyone share his experience about ScanTo3D in a...
Is there a working postprocessor around to run Surfcam code on a DeskCNC setup ?
Thanks
Daniel
Hi, does someone know which Surfcam Postprocessor might work with a DeskCNC setup ?
Thanks
Daniel
NC Cam,
Thanks. Indeed I will only grind simple flat tappet cams. I cannot cut it with a flat cutter because I have to weld up the original cam lobes with a Rc 62 TIG welding rod else the cam lobe...
Vmax549,
Thanks a lot for these motivating news.
How do you fool the DeskCNC software to digitize out on the A axis ?
Are you using 3D mode ? (2D does not seem to work)
Do you switch the...
Given that the first cam of the 3 is a Honda production cam, I should be reassured that part of the results shown should come from the lack of accuracy of my measurement method right ?
Here I can not agree entirely.
At any time when the motor is energized there are 2 Mosfet's in series with it.
Those Mosfets behave like a little resistance when switched on.
I'd like to know...
NC Cams,
Thanks a lot for the instructive information you provide to me.
below I have enclosed 3 different camshafts, 2 curves each
first and second are
Original from Honda Velocity &...
No need to worry about the application.
A PPG (Powered paraglider) is first of all a glider which does not need any engine if it gets lift from thermals or one jumps from a mountain, However when...
In order to optimize the servo speed settings in the controller, I would like to be able to calculate what is the actual voltage the servo motor actually "sees" when controlled by a G320 in relation...
I guess there is no button for Homing in DeskCNC screen.
However I managed to do it as a G code instruction in the MDI field

Thanks
Hi Guys,
After duplicating props manually in the time elapsed. I now finally build a 3-4 axis milling machine where I want to proove the entire prop digitizing and cutting concept on 1 single...
Hi,
have not got much personal advice fm. the forum but finally I am almost there...:wave:
Here my latest pics.
Further steps
Fitting VFD and large asynchronous motor controlled directly...
Adobe,
If you get an answer from Fred, pls. let me know as I'd like to go for this wheel on my DeskCNC setup too.
Thanks
Paraprop
Below I wanted to share a few pics of my earlier cam measuring and grinding setups...
And sorry for that in my last mail, I forgot the pics of my CNC prototype mill
Switcher, Toastydeath and of course, NC Cams.
Thanks a lot for your input. Normally in the 2 years I registered on this forum, 70% of the time I get No reply, 28% of the time 1 reply but this time...
Thanks for that Switcher.
Very kind of you.
Thanks for your input.
Right now I would like to start with digitizing an existing cam profile with the DeskCNC controller.
Haven't yet received an answer from the manufacturer if it possible to...
My 4th Axis which is the A rotary, is now operational.
Given that the DeskCNC controller board allows for an "A" home input, I have provided it with an optical Omron switch to set Home on it. This...
Fred Thanks a lot for your reply.
How does it react ?
does it have to be a connection to gnd. or +5V to start ?
just on a pulse from a push button or does the switch have to be closed for...
I could not yet make out from any documentation, what the cycle start input on the 2nd, gen. DeskCNC controller board is for except to download a new firmware. Any additonal usage during CNC...
