Well,
Turns out I was tightening the locknut enough. I tried the visegrips to tighten a bit more but same results. I ended up marring a little of the ballscrew, its at the very end and nut does not...

Hey Hoss,
How do you keep the ballscrew from turning when tightening the locknut that keeps the AC bearings tight?
I bought some ballscrews from chai and just fitted them to my RF45 clone, have...

Garry,

Hello Hoss,
What do you do to remove the blue painters tape that sticks to your 3d printed parts?

I used ABS glue (home depot type, for abs pipes) instead of the abs and acetone mixture, it...

Hello GD,
Nice to have you back at it.
I have a quick question tough... I recently got a G0519 from Grizzly, it is an RF45 clone, with a 32.25" x 9.5" table, I was wondering which size vise to get...

I agree with the guys, you are very close to getting it done...

Yea, I have already looked into IH too, thing is, I will also get a G0602 lathe from grizzly, and a shop press from them too. Since I will be shipping this to my freight forwarder in the US to have...

Hey Hoss,
I have been going back and forth trying to decide weather to get a G0704 or ZX45 type machine. I am leaning toward the ZX45 mainly because of the motor issues the G0704 has.
That being...

the one in the picture yes, its just to show you the enclosure type.
The price im posting is for the machine on your link M330L is the model, and just the frame for that (spindle, ballscrew and...

That particular one without controller or axis motors is as follows:

VMC330L (wih frame,linear guideways and ball screws,spindle,ATC,lubrication system,lamp,telescopic covers for X,Y,Z axes,motor...

I asked for a quotation a while back for some machines the supplier of the white machine hoss posted.

similar to the M320 is the M330L which has linear rails,...

Grizzly should offer an option without the motor and speed control for less money. I would definitely buy one without that and spring a little more for the kelling option.

Well it is an application on which when the x axis moves in the positive direction the z axis needs to be loose... (freewheeling) when the x positive move finishes I need to lift the Z axis and then...

Hello guys...

I have the need to disable one drive from a G540 from geckodrive... the LPT port does not give access to the enable pin on the drivers inside the G540.

I was suggested by someone...

if nothing comes up in the tuning it might mean that the axes are nor enabled in the ports and pins menu.

If the motors lock up but dont turn, then you are getting power to the motors but...

Just curious to see how this amazing build turned out?
any updates?

hey Hoss,
what kind of performance could you expect from the servos that are at the bottom on your suggested electronics for the G0704?
Could it be comparable to the performance in speed and...

Welding or gluing would be good solutions,

This will only serve for the "keys" to stay inside their keyway. I dont see the glue failing if the key is inside the slot. As I said the glue or the...

I had the same problem, but I am in Mexico, but still part of the NAFTA.

Thanks Geof!
nice info, i missed that machine.

It is interesting how their sales pitch vs hydraulic machines, is that they use less HPs for the same throughput, although ive checked some...
