T10 torx worked. Got the plates switched. Now I just have to wait till minday so i can order the rest of the bearing I need to replace the rest of them.
Now I find out that I don't have the correct size allan wrench to take it apart as its missing from my set.
It was suppose to be a direct replacement so I didn't have to do all this extra work. In order to do that I have to take off the bearing off the end.
I had a ball screw fail on me and I am in the process of replacing it. I purchased two new ones and was forced to replace them today as the machine is no longer working. I pulled the one off and...
I own the Syil X5 mill with a small stand but would like to get the full cabinet for it. Does anyone know where this can be purchased at.
Thanks,
Hello, I am looking for a person that could help me learn my machine and cam software. Mostly the cam software and getting it working with my machine. I need to learn how to do all the tool paths and...
Hello, I have been working with my machine in which I installed a dust cyclone and I notice I still get some small amount of dust that makes it through to the dust bag. As I want to make sure I get...
I have tried a lot of different feed speeds. I either break the bits by going to fast or break the bit by going to slow because they heat up. I can reduce the DOC, but this wears the bits down just...
I am looking for options to blow air onto the material and cutting bit of my machine. The air is needed to remove the cut material as well as keep the bit cool as the tend to heat up and break. At...
I could still include a filter. Its just what to do with the air after its clean. I could put it back into the room or back over the machine to help with removal.
one more thing about changing the direction, because the dust collection happens on the front of the machine, this would mean that the air nozzle would have to point straight down or towards me. I...
I did. There was a second problem and that is that the dust wasn't removed fast enough. When the Z axis went up, the air would again blow the dust out. Overall, I found no way to contain the dust...
I have played with the feed speeds and the air seems to be the best solutions to keeping the bits to last. I am cutting carbon fiber and its much harder then MDF. The dust boot idea worked until I...
Just received the new dust collector. Hoping the increased air movement will improve the suction of the dust. I have been looking at the design, and was thinking about the cyclone. Would it be better...
Hello, I am working on building a cabinet for my machine and would like to get some help/ideas on adding a dust collection system to my machine.
First I will state what I have tried so that we...
I have completed the job and was able to solve my problem.
I am making a part and I need to take the G-code that is generated by the system and modify it so that I can do a more advanced operation...
I have been trying to find a way to nest parts around things that have already been cut out. I have two examples of what I am trying to do.
The first is that when I cut out parts, I will only...
I have just about finished putting together my new cnc machine and was wondering what kind of water temperature I would expect to see coming from the spindle that I have. I understand that this could...
Does anyone know the size of the box that is used in the 4 axis kit that is sold by cncrouterparts I am making a cabinet and need to know all the dimensions of the case. Please see link below of the...
Thanks for the input, I just placed my order and went with the one from Ugra. Now I just need the machine to mount it too.
I am looking at purchasing the Benchtop PRO CNC Machine Kit from cncrouterparts.com and am looking for a spindle for it. I am wanting to get a 2.2kW spindle that is water cooled. I have been looking...
I am trying to import a file type of .sldprt or step files
What cam software can support this file type. Also if I were to get a new software, what would you suggest. At the moment I have only...
are you able to explain what you mean by racking a bit more and where you would suggest adding more bracing. Are you talking about the rails on the sides or the gantry that are small. I know that...
I have been playing around with no success. I have slowed the ramp up speed as suggested and I am still having the same problem. I did find a loose pulley, but even after fixing this, its still...
I have found videos about using the posts to tune the motor. Is this something that would help?
I have got the motor and controller set form cncrouterparts.com that include 4 motors and the gecko 540 controller. I have been running the machine for about 6 months now and I keep having one of...
I just cut another part well writing that last post. This time I had the hose disconnected and cut for about 10 min. With in that time I lost enough steps to twist the gantry about 1/8" inch. So now...
Could this build up of static cause porblems like loosing steps on one of my motors. Once I started using it, I keep loosing steps on my y-axis. I am using a gecko g540 controller, and the y-axis is...
