thanks mate glad the post helped inspire others. awesome build, and sorry on the delayed reply.

And finally the front vertical table, This is my little show off piece, I've never seen a machine set up this way, its my own idea for adding jobs that are longer or higher than the table

Bit of a walk around video, still needs work.

NOW i cant get Y axis to step with the Slave, when in Jog mode it does exactly what i command, then i go into step, instantly the Slave is dropped off, then back to jog it works again. XHC Not...

OK did a bit of refining this seems to be working all the time, you have to jiggle the B and Y axis to trick it for some reason. but for anyone having dramas try this, its working all the time now,...

OK i had it working, 100% working every time, slow process but and dances all over the joint, but this code was working correct there overrun issue.
Then i re power the machine and haywire again,...

Would be nice to keep it obviously, as both the mill, and router are similar components , makes testing and repairs easy. ill work with it. was hoping someone else has found a way to get it to work.

So im currently running to machines with XHC mack motion card one is a 6 axis (Router 4 axis and salve) the other is a 4 axis mill, both working pretty well so far.
Just tone niggling issue with...

nice build, glue is interesting. like the idea of full aluminum

extremely neat job. looks good

I wouldn't be to scared of tig welding it, I found it great for pulling th material the way it needed to go, dependent on what way you run the weld.

Thanks Ward, yeah there dual coolant catchment/swarf trays there on a 15deg angle and will have auto flushing hopefully. I learnt from my old machine that Gravity is your friend with coolant!

And a video of as a unit, cant wait to cut with it. my old mill was just always to small.

and my welds, there not perfect, but the more you do...

Here is some pics and vids of the machine i've been building for the last year or so.
Basic run down,
Y-Axis dual 2005 ballscrew 8NM (1200oz) drives per side. 1360MM usable area

New table close to being finished, extremely rigid, ans square. table size 1300x1020 with a 300mmx1300 open section and a vertical table, this will allow end milling of longer components, and a great...

im using one had initial comunication dramas, and thee had to remake a driver, took a week or 2, but now it working i like it, the 24v inputs suck tho.

I just overcome the same problem with a DDSM5V5.0- found that it miss's the 3-and 4th step in the button command for REF AlL home- I simply went too, edit button script (under operator, then click on...

Thanks for the help guys So ive played with speeds and acceleration found the acceleration anything over 2000 would only allow 20mm increments exactly almost like it was set in step mode so at 1900...

its is set to run pretty quickly (well for me it is) 10,000mm min and acceleration 600mm sec. do you think i should raise or lower the acceleration?

Ive set this machine up with optical switchesand MAch3 its working but I would like the machine not to travel so far past the switch before changing direction, it must be time based as the slower I...

got the router moving time to build the table

Yes all 3 axis for sure, i always home them before i set the job up. your homing switch becomes the limit, be midfull if its a switch it will drive past the trigger point and wont zero until it...

i only ever used homing switches. have never needed limit switches. nice looking build.

Another Slow update, i since sold the cincinati 500 and decided to make a router table. build is well underway has been designed to cut aluminum with a working enverlope of 1350x1350mm x 200mm z...

Pete Awesome Thread, lots of reading here!! I'm going down almost the same path, I have done a RF45 clone, and just purchased a Cincinnati 500- this comment has made me a lot less anxious about this...
