OK, I think I finally diagnosed my problem. This appears to be velocity ripple.

I'm no R&P expert by any means. Just did some research.

Looks like nobody else has had this problem, so maybe...

Thanks David. Your edges are perfectly void of any periodic waves?

Question 1:

Am I the only guy running aluminum on a Saturn?

Just curious what another Saturn customer's edges look like when run at a 45-degree angle?

I need a bogie to chase in terms of...

I'm not in my shop right now but I want to say 2040 "steps per" rings a bell in my motor config. My units are set to inches.

Yes, good idea. I can try bumping it along one step at a time. Might...

OK - I have an update on this issue.

1) I took Fusion out of the equation. I used a single G1 command on Mach3 to route a straight diagonal path (approx. 35 degrees from X).
The issue is still...

Well, I gave Smoothing a try but unfortunately I still have the same problem. I wonder if maybe Smoothing really becomes advantageous for arcs - but not for straight lines?

I ran the same part on...

Thanks David, I will give that a try today.

I'm wondering if anybody has encountered this problem:

I have perfectly smooth edges on X-axis or Y-axis only runs, but on diagonals, the finish is quite rough.

There is a high frequency...

That is wonderful. I give you credit on the drive system. I went the CNCRP ESS/NEMA 34 stepper route...hoping support would be plentiful. Best of luck!

Update: My Saturn 4x4 is on the way. Should have soon.

Router...for non-ferrous metals.

I wonder if this market is just experiencing crazy growth and companies are struggling to keep up?
I actually made a deal on a (big-name), fully-built CNC router last month.
A name that is...

Would your opinion be that 3/16" wall box channel would be good for the base? Maybe even get away with 1/8" wall? I have some 1/4" wall laying around....but that seems like overkill.

Well, I'm still optimistic that I will be really impressed with the equipment.

I'd just like to know when I will receive it so I can start making chips.

Well, back to no response from Nate.

Two missed ship dates now and no mention of what the 3rd date will be. Not that I would have faith in it.

The response last week just served to string me...

That is great work. Hats off to you.

Those gantry ends are a nice touch. Actually, looking at it, one would just assume the Saturn comes with those.

Modifications/upgrades that look "stock"...

Yep. Same here. Thanks for the status Nate.

I've tried contacting Nate via:

Email (multiple attempts going back to last Wed.) and have no responses
Website contact form - again no response
Phone (no answer - and mailbox is full so no way...

Just the information I was looking for. Thank you much!

Yep, that was the datasheet that caught my eye. Thanks for the feedback.

What circuit breaker current rating are you guys using in your service panel supplying power to your Plug and Play NEMA 34 Control Systems (and are you running 115V or 230V)?

I'm worried about the...
