It would be nice to add that control to the front of a control panel and be able to switch from the computer to the 10 buttons.
Ill be watching for the next step.

This is a dc welder but it has a utility 110 outlet on the front of the machine.

This outlet is working so i do not think that it is needed to flast the exciter .

Hello
Not sure if anyone can help but here it goes.

I picked up an old as 200 welder and have gotten it to run but it will not spark an arc to weld. I have power from the 110 outlet but only get...

The travel is the reason that i was interrested in doing it this way.

If the z-axis was to be done like this the lower set of bearings could be set at the bottom of the y-axis and then the...

so then no real reason to go one way or the other?

I was wondering why all of the z axiss are set up with the rails mounted to the y and the blocks on the z axis itself. It would seam like it would limit the travel.

what i am looking at doing...
