About 3 years back, I bought my first Spring Loaded Engraving Tool Kit from CNC-Aid.com for $149.00. It was then the "old design" which only accepted the split type engraving bits. It worked great...
I personally would not do it.
There's a very good chance that the fan would suck and atomize the splash coolant and make it a bad and dangerous working environment... and worse than that if it was...
That's where the homework comes in :)
I don't understand the point you are insisting on making.
The TOTAL COST to him was $100 CAD not $53.62
if $53.62 CAD was the total cost to my door... I would have bought from them myself!
...
I just did the conversion for you and it's not $53.62 your stating. Why do you feel a need to say that it did not cost him the $100 it did?
"I'm sure" Igus is not the only supplier of "quality...
Using a currency conversion for today $72 USD = $96.60 Canadian Dollars
I'd say $96.60 Canadian Dollars is pretty close to $100.00 Canadian Dollars that he claimed cost him. That's not counting...
He did say that he contacted them about the shipping overcharge with no response.
Al lot of sellers "in Canada" list USD prices instead of Canadian prices.
"ADD" the "Overcharged Shipping", the...
Phil_Par said he did (same Province)
You need to take into account that Phil_Par and myself are located in Canada.
The currency exchange and shipping is what drives the price up.
They could have "easily provided the shipping costs"...
I've bought from McMaster-Carr many times in the past and they are very EASY to deal with.
Not sure if they sell this cable though.
I was in the process of buying from them as well, but the escalating problems I was experiencing made me stop and rethinking about where to get my cable. $100 for 15' of cable is NOT what I had in...
I will definitively heed your warnings.
Thank you very much
Perfect, I will check and do as shown if it's not already grounded.
Do you have the parameters for me?
Thanks
It is water cooled and I will need to check if the 4 th pin is connected. If it's not then what?
Thanks
Mactec54 I have the same manual as CNC-Pal has except that my my VFD and Spindle is rated 220V.
Model YL620-2.2KW-220V
Would it be possible for you to post the VFD parameters for this one as well?
Would you happen to know what the field coil bore diameter for this clutch is, it more than 2"?

I can't seem to get an answer from anyone for...
Very nice and clean looking setup.
How is the disk brake sequentially operated?

I'm looking at the spindle to only have the driven gear, position/speed sensor, and bearings on it.
Next to it will be what I'll call the driving gear/index shaft for this spindle.
One end of...
After thinking about it more... I think it probably would be better for me to run the motor with a step belt and pulley system "outside" the spindle head to get low range torque for machining larger...
I got more questions for you!
I'm looking at incorporating a brake as you suggested...
I'm thinking that a "second mag clutch" would do it... they are CHEAP and easy to modify for my need. ...
Thanks Jim,
That looks like the place to buy for me. Close to home and no shipping!

Jim,
I did not know that they were good to 10HP!
Clearly over kill for a Nema 34 stepper but I cannot think of anything else as simple and cheap.
Glad to see that this idea has traction...
...
Mactec54,
Using an auxiliary stepper motor to do the indexing was something I considered before reading your post, but I thought that might be ANOTHER one of my bad ideas. Now that you basically...
Craig,
For whatever reason, I COMPLETELY missed this post!!!
My apologies for that... I clearly need to pay more attention to how forums work. I'll try to blame it on age, but that hurts!
It...
Craig,
I will definitely consider your recommendation for 1kW or 1.3kW Ac servo. From what you explained... it probably would be very sufficient for my project and clearly makes more sense that my...
joeavaerage,
Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me.
I appreciate input from those with experience in areas I don't have.
I now have a better chance of selecting a better solution...
Thank you for that answer... I can now forget that idea and look at other more reasonable options.
I have a few projects that I would like to use this idea on if I could get it to work... but first... a small CNC lathe with a custom R8 spindle which would be used for machining small shafts and...
With the encoder not being an issue... is there an easy way to brake and hold the R8 spindle position using the setup I described?
ger21,
I must have missed that answer... where is it and I'm very sorry about that!
