I need like 4 oz of way oil for this weekend after which my gallon will arrive on Tuesday. Anywhere local I could purchase a small amount or if needed a gallon. Retail is pretty much dead sadly so...

Don't for get about the new Grizzly G0875: https://www.grizzly.com/products/Grizzly-7-x-24-Enclosed-CNC-Mill/G0875

$16500

For a hobbyist like me even this is more than I want to spend but I...

So you have had the machine for a couple month now, would you still have purchased in hindsight? I am looking at the tormach 770 but the shopmaster look interesting and I would be getting a mill.

I am wondering the same thing. I have a 3040 that is ball screws with ball bearing linear rails. I am unsure of what kind of lubricants I should use or if lube is a good idea at all. I did rub a...

No idea, that was too long ago. But I recall that the Z had pulled down into the material and then started to slow then stalled.

Ok it is up and running with the cheap driver. I had to do a little wire testing figuring what was what with a voltmeter but finally got the configuration right.

YooCNC Controller Cheap Driver...

The above post is supposed to say 800w 120v.

I took my spindle front cover off yesterday and took a look at what could be spinning inside the motor when it stalls. The shaft is directly connected...

I ordered a 4th axis for my 3040 machine, I just got a generic driver today and went to hook it up to the yoocnc controller on the A axis output. The yoocnc controller outputs pl+, pl-, dir-, dir+....

Good find! That will work for most of my needs. THANK! At some point I may try to make a adapter with my mill.

I have a CNC mill with a ER11 collet and want to be able to hold miscellaneous drill sizes, not just the ones that fix my current collets. Does anyone make a chuck adapter that just has a smooth...

I am not having any issue but I do notice that I can hear my water pump dip in speed when I have axis movement. I check it with a volt meter and I can see droops of up to a volt or so. It doesn't...

Thanks! I purchased the metal here:

Alight I ended up with the Alimex blanchard ground cast aluminum plate and was $92 to my door. It is pretty beautiful piece of metal. The finish is smooth and and ground fine enough for my table...

Thanks for the responses! I had actually forgot to test out the higher kernel speeds since I purchased my license, so tonight was the night. I bumped up my kernel speed up to 35k which allowed me as...

Thanks for the responses. Good call about the inserts I really didn't think about that. The size is 14in x 22in. The long side is unsupported with about 21in between supports. I figured 5/8th solid...

I am looking at replacing my table to top on my router / mill I primary use for aluminum. Currently the table is made up of 3 separate section that are warped a bit weird and are making near...

I recently got my 3040z machine home and have been really enjoying it so far. The particular machine I purchased claims to be able to achieve 4000mm/min (~155 IPM) rapids and cutting speeds as high...

I swear this thread was closed up a week ago?! But I wanted to get back and let you know I got my machine. The t slots are 5/16th slot width, so it would use the 1/4-20 bolts. I couldn't find any...

I just purchased the 3040z from ebay and have loved it so far. I paid $1515 to my door and it was shipped from San Leandro, CA USA! Showed up excellently packed, electronics are well kept and wired...

I have a Chinese 120w 800w spindle with a 1.5kw 120v VFD.

I was testing cutting in aluminum and stalled as the bit pulled the machine down. I shut everything down but noticed spindle sounds like...

I just purchase a new Chinese 3040z and am try to buy some accessories before it arrives. Does anyone happen to know the size of the Tslots or size of the clamp set I should buy?

Here is the...

I got away with cutting my own 8mm sprockets out of 7075 with a 5/32 endmill. Took a while due to the end mill length but they are still working amazingly well!

I have seen this material that looks to be 1/8in thick with some sort of black coating or other color. It looks like it would be great for lots of my projects but I can not seem to find anything...

I am looking into potentially trying to build a inertia dyno. Already sounds dangerous right!

So the idea is to create a flywheel and measure RPM and torque while spinning up the motor. I was...

So my final number were 2500 RPM, 35IPM, No Coolant, 20% stepover, and the max I did was .05 Depth since my cuts didn't call for more. So its a bit subjective but even after going through a...

As per usual: The right tool for the job makes life easy. So while I wasted a day removing trival amounts of material with bad surface finish earlier but with my new cutter everything went...

The above was at 600rpm not 6000, I did looking into niagara website and came up very close to what I calculated for tialN cutter. I decided to back off some on the cut per tooth. Apparently dry is...

So I have a thread running over here where I got some great information on running my Annealed 4130 Cromoly. Reading around on the web I am seeing conflicting information on cutting 4130 with...

I was just looking at the numbers and I am going to be very close to my horsepower number for the 1100 Tormach so I may change my step over a bit.
