What ever happend to your mill?
Impressive work
How do you like the cnc fusion package as apposed to buying ballscrews and nuts form ebay ( chai ) and buying the mounts from BD tools ( billy / Also on ebay )
Big price differnce, Seems that more...
Thats poor workmanship they did on those ways. Damn QC!!
Hey guys,
I have searched google and in here for a couple days now.
I am continuously popping up build threads.
Is there any way we can get an ultimate G704 cnc conversion sticky going?
I...
It seems that KMS tools is offering extra goodies, Making the price higher.
Looking great brad pitt.
Need more pictures!
15mgtar, I use vactra #4 from enco.com
I hear #2 works fine too..........2 is thinner 4 is thicker, Sticky stuff.

Alright, all the balls in........16 per track.
Although the first 2 tracks have maybe half a ball space - not enough to wedge another ball in, the last track has enough room for 1 more ball though...
So I got them all in.........It doesn't move freely on its own and it feels very rough like they are grabbing at certain spots.
I also hear the balls rattling when I shake it, Am I missing some...
Thanks for every ones reply.
So far no dice, but Dave your reply has been by far the most interesting.
I been having more success with your idea then others.
But I have a question, There is maybe...
Just about you email you bubba.

Just got my package from Chai,
It all arrived, love his shipping and prices. Nothing more I can say but 100% awesome-ness
Hello Leeway,
Thanks for replying.
I confused you all by saying C6 ........Darn it!
I wanted to say C14

That is the...
I got some questions about this board.
So lets say I want to use the C1G board with this controller.

Where would I...
What about using this with Mach 3?
Thanks
15mg Did Chai reply for you?
15mg,
Its probably a RF clone.......
As for Chai, there is a 15 hour time zone differnce, as well as weekends he tends to slow down replying.
You bought a lot of ball screw there, Why so...
15mg, id say those pipes are for the one shot lube system.
As for your RF.......It could be a clone.
Round column or square?
hey diycnc,
that makes sense, Another fellow pointed the offset ball track out to me the other day.
Like you mentioned the amount of preload you got on there is peanuts, and to chance out the...
Sure thing diycnc,
My main concern is understanding how novakon.net states they are zero backlash nuts, Obviously novakon and Chai are identical screws nuts and bearing blocks.
Just makes you...
Right but I am not worried about spinning faster,
I am worried about premature failure of the nut or screw........CHECK your BALLS lol.
you need to know how its preloaded - if its preloaded + you...
Hey diycnc,
http://novakon.net/resources/Ball$2BScrews$2Band$2BBall$2BNuts.pdf
Check that out, they mention preloaded for zero backlash.
are they using oversized balls or what is the deal...
Sounds awesome diycnc,
I went for 16mm on my RF45 conversion, I suspect there will be no whip as the max length I have is 38inches.
Good work and keep it up!
Thanks!
diycnc,
that is look really sexy,
What diam screws did you go for........
How about some pictures on the end supports and how you managed to install them ( they are tiny buggers )
Awesome...
15mgtar
What sort of machine are you converting, I was looking at your recent threads.
You have some monster steppers for the machine
RF45 or similar?
Some big screws you got ( 3/4 + in size )...
15mg,
You decide on a pair of ballnuts per axis?
Hey Ray,
Well I am quite convinced.
A. These are not the best ball nuts to start with.
B. I am no magician and thus I can't tell from the sellers half Chinglish in terms of having the special lead...
15mgtar, they state its zerobacklash, But unless its over sized balls I would say forget it.
I would just buy 2 ballnuts per axis and make your own preloaded nuts.
That is what I plan to do.
diycnc,
If you can some pictures would clear a lot of questions up, If you don't mind?!
Thanks!!
