I used a dial indicator to set my column 90 degrees to my table. I checked this by jogging the z axis up and down and reading the dial indicator for any variance. It can take some time to get it...

Interesting stuff here. I have only limited experience with peltiers, but I am wondering if the vibrations caused by the light machining might cause stress to the TEC components over time?
You...
Looking for scrap and rems is the way to go IMO. I have a small benchtop machine so I can't really use the bigger stuff anyway.
The machine shops is thinking along the right lines, but you might...
Hi,
I have been making small aluminum parts on my Taig benchtop CNC mini mill. I am looking into home/hobby/benchtop (small single phase 120v size) mass finishing solutions(machine and...
That is a nice setup. I'm sitting here trying to wrap my brain around the counter weights and the pulleys on the X-Y. The Z axis makes sense to me. It will take me some time to figure out that X-Y...
Thank you Dave, The Deskcnc should be 'easy' enough to write a nice post processor for because it (Deskcnc) uses a nice collection of the G and M codes that are so common right?
It's always nice...
I am trying to decide what CAD/CAM package to use with my Deskcnc controller.
I am trying to decide between the Rhino CAD/CAM or the Onecnc XR express package. Both seem nice for the price...
I have been trying to cut this part/parts using the contour function in Deskcnc. I have had trouble with setting the boundaries,island on this part.
I used select/explode/join to take care of...
Thanks again, I guess I better start from square 1 and find out what CAM options will work with my Deskcnc controller before even attempting to demo any software..Eh, hope this goes well,...
Thanks for the update Dan. I think I'm done drooling over the OneCNCXR for now. Time to go DL the Rhino/CAM Demo. Hopefully they (Rhino and Rhinocam) are available to demo together.
This from...
OneCNC looks nice, maybe I could get the express version to start and add functionality as I can afford it.
Do you know what a typical upgrade path would cost with Onecnc?
From what I see...
Hi,
I have a Taig mill with the Deskcnc/Imservice 3 axis system. I have run some of the demo files and am ready to begin drawing my parts.
I have not tried any CAD/CAM software other than the...
Assuming there is no slippage, what stepping do you have? "Drivers are available in full-half step or micro-stepping versions"? What is the lead on your screws VS the max RPM of your output shaft?...
The Taig mill http://www.taigtools.com/cmill.html is also popular in that size. I just set my Taig up this last week. This is really a well built machine. It's not as big as some of the other...
I purchased a Taig cnc ready mill (2019CR) and the 3-axis servo system from IMService.
I have been learning,tweaking and tuning on this setup for almost a week now. I have made a few cuts in...
Thanks guys. I will call the site today and possibly Alibre themselves to make sure I'm clear on the deal.
I orderd the IMService 3 axis system so I will be using Deskcnc with this (alibre) on...
If I purchase this software do I need to pay ever again to retain full functionality?
From Alibre-
"When your license key is close to expiring, this message will be displayed. If you are a...
I have found the answers to the controller board questions I had. Right in front of me, again. I see the newer controller board is the smaller, more efficient board with probably more functionality,...
Thanks Dave,I will use the linear power supply.Probably a dumb question to begin with. I keep reading more and more reasons why not to use the switching power supplies. I have not read the reason you...
