Hi,
I have a machine that I'm building for my own use. I'm looking for advice on what control board/mother-board and also what drivers to buy for my machine that is most optimal for my...
Hey Guys, Thanks for all the advice, I'm taking it onboard. Hypothetically, If I bought three of these.

Hi Andrew, The rated amps is 4 Amps, and if you are Microstepping I was instructed in this video around 3:15 ...

Can I ask, how precisely does the Arduino Uno fail? It sends the incorrect number of signals? Also how will a 3 to 4 amp driver work fine when the motor could draw up to 8 Amps? Thank you.
Hi,
So I've recently purchased a Sherline Ballscrew Mill. I've already spent quite a lot on the machine and don't want to buy expensive drive components. The machines part tolerance will be...
Okay thanks so much, that's simplified matters considerably.
So, These are the components I've been talking about.

Your right, but how do I know what is suitable for the thread nut size? Also there are other things i need to preload such as the fixed bearing and the trucks on the linear rails, my question also...
So, I'm buying some C7 ballscrews and I've never preloaded anything before.
I'm planning on using a torque wrench or a torque meter of some description. Now what I don't understand is how one...
Hi Guys,
Doing my first machine build, I'm trying to build a machine with a general tolerance of 1 thou. I'm a little unsure as where to buy precision grounded plates or if I even need them......
I actually haven't decided on which ballscew I will be getting yet but it will be a ballscrew that is for sure! And I'm a metric guy...Most of the time anyway.
This has helped thanks guys!
Hi guys,
So I'm building a cnc machine, I'm trying to make it accurate within a thou, primarily for steel. First machine build.
I'm a little lost when it comes to half-stepping and micro...
Thanks man, I didn't think there was companies that offered stuff like this without having to buy other additional stuff. Does anyone know of a store based in the UK like littlemachine shop?
Cheers dude this is great... I've seen these mills cut steel, it doesn't do a stellar job but beggars can't be choosers. Man little machine shop is great
I'm building a DIY cnc but I've hit a bottleneck. I want to run my spindle with a belt and already have the motor I plan to use to drive it (Vevor 2.2kw spindle) The issue I have is I want to step...
I'm having trouble, because I can't farbricate this myself so I'm using a machine shop, they're going to fleece me for high tolerances so what I'm wondering is how do I avoid that. Do R8 Tapers also...
I have a mini mill designed for MT3 taper, I've been trying to figure out if the slot my MT3 tools go into is tapered internally or is just a straight hole (It's hard to tell). What's the standard,...
Cheers guys, price range is around 300 Euro.
To be honest, I was considering doing that, seperating them and using a belt drive, My concern is will this damage the spindle, I mean its not designed to drive a belt. I can't imagine why it would...
I'm looking for spindles capable of cutting steel but the ones I've found on amazon only work properly at rpms that are too high to cut steel properly. They work but badly. The issue is thy have to...
So is it impossible to use flycutters or large diameter surface finishers with a spindle like this? and what about the ones that are rated for 0-24,000 do they have the same problem?
How are you supposed to use fly cutters with these spindles i they can't go to the lower rpms?
Hi,
I'm uprgrading my cnc spindle and am having a little trouble getting the seller of the spindle I want to respond to my queries. I think it's just to do with covid. I'm buying my spindle on...
