Finally solved the problem! The technical aspects of pulse rates and encoders is beyond me, a mere mortal, right now but with people like you guys around I am sure I will eventually get a grip on...
I remade the router mounting in aluminium and dicovered that not only was that the problem but the 6mm plate was supported too far up and the bottom end near the bit was also flexing.I reinforced the...
My router mount is made of wood and is not the best mounting possible I 'll try and fix that first and then try and comp. for backlash in the software if the problem does not improve. Could the fact...

Are you cutting different sized squares? Cut 50mm squares, 100mm squares, 150mm...
Then, if they are all off by 1mm, I'd guess that possibly your machine is flexing. Try cutting one square...
Hi Luc
I have encountered no major problems with the igus rails so far exept that they were a bit over kill on specs for my machine. The smaller round rails would have been sufficient
I have now done what you have suggested. It was not a consistant error and much to my surprise it was not perfectly square! I ajusted the bit diameter to suit and reset the alignment. The error is...
Eureka!
I have finally made my first cuts. I have cut a square 100mmx120mm but it is exactly 1mm out all round.
The lead screw is 10 tpi, guide rails from igus. Hobbycnc board + motors.

Are those 6mm or 20mm Igus square slides on the long azis? Did you find them hard to align? Do you recommend them?

I have tried out sheetcam to replace what I do on a scroll saw and have started trying meshcam, the bitmap conversion seems exellent. I have not gotten round to bobcad v17 yet. I do have acad and...
I took her apart and rebuilt her using aluminium.
A girl always needs a new look!
I have taken her apart and will start a new thread. She will appear live in "She lives again" This girl has accesorized!
trying to make up my mind about what would be the best combo
1. bobcad hobby pro v17 + mach 2 =$444
2. sheetcam $150.00
meshcam $100.00
mach 2 $149.00 = $399
Exchange rate from...

Does 8020 ship world wide?
I have emailed them but I am impatient for the reply. Do any of you know?
thanks
Is it wise to cut or drill and tap threads into a 1/2" Hardened precision chrome plated steel shaft. The one I purchased is flexing too much. Or maybe somebody has a genius idea as to how to support...
Good advice has been given and I am eternally grateful that I followed it. Just finished my starter machine. I will be cannibalising it for my new and improved design. It is much cheaper to start...
