Thank you hoffmannm- your technique was the ticket!

I appreciate your response hoffmannm. Unfortunately I'm unable to share the model with you but I will give your technique a try when I get back to work Monday. In the meantime, I drew up a quick...

Hello all-
I have a couple questions I was hoping someone could answer:
I am machining what is essentially a aluminum box with the top open. At the bottom of the box where the floor would...

Thanks Cr2. Anyone else care to share?!!

You might contact K2 to see if they have a configuration file for Mach 3 and your machine. That might help get you going in the right direction.

I have a KT 25-14 with .200" pitch screws. I'm running a Gecko 540 driving Keling KL23H2100-35-4B stepper motors and using Mach 3 as the controlling software. I'm curious to know what other people...

Very impressive! You give a whole new definition of "multi-purpose".
Awesome website by the way- thanks for sharing it! :)

Thanks for all the suggestions- sounds like I better start saving up! ;)
Rodney- you mention a machine for around 4K, can you give me the brand?

OK, sounds good- can you recommend where I can get one?

I appreciate your reply, but I don't understand what you are saying... :confused:

I am kicking around a idea of converting a machine that uses a router motor to a machine that uses a laser to cut out wooden shapes. I'm assuming it is possible.... Can someone point me in the right...

Got it figured out! :cheers:

Hi All-
I just purchased a new router and I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what the settings are on their Motor Tuning page in Mach 3. I'm running a Gecko 540 stepper controller and I...

You might have better luck asking in the Mastercam section:

I think I found a controller board to run these amps- Thanks for your help! :cheers:

I read somewhere that you are selling a brushless DC servo drive but I cannot find it on your web site. Could you please elaborate on this? Shane.

Thanks for the fast response. I haven't worked that part out yet- I wanted to use a break out board. What is PWM and how would these driver boards be used- i.e. what application?

Hello All-
I have a small 3 axis router that uses stepper motors that I have been playing with for some time now, and I would like to upgrade to servos. So I bought some BLDC servos off the bay...

Thanks for your help! :)

Does anyone know what the flange thickness of these servos are? The drawing on the website appears to be incorrect. Thanks!

Every program I have seen always has the tool diameter called up on the same line as the G41, for example G41 D08. I'm not familiar with your controller, but maybe since no tool diameter in called...

Hello,
I'm looking for a pulley guard and motor mount for a Rockwell vertical
knee mill. You wouldn't to know where I could get one?
Thank You for your time. Shane.

Thanks for the tip- that solved my problem. :cheers:

Thanks for the replies. As a new comer to Solidcam I'll make sure to take note. However, my example was a poor one. I guess what I'm asking is what if I had to machine that surface (the chamfer) with...

I have a question about machining a feature on a solid model without having to select the whole solid model. For example, I have drawn a cylinder that is 2.00 in. diameter and 1.00 in. tall with a...

Thanks for the reply- yes I have seen that in the Yahoo users group and I might end up using his idea before this is all over. I was hoping to keep my machine in a all original condition...

I managed to track down a motor, but I still need a motor mount along with a pulley/belt guard. Does anyone know where I can find these items?
Shane.

Looking good, I'm sure there are alot of people waiting to get there hands on some- including me :)

DareBee-
Thanks for the information. Shane.
