We need more info such as; is the controller PathPilot or Mach, Include as much of the G code as you can. At least the first 7 to 10 lines. It will be much easier to help you.

It will be far greater end result if you use more conventional methods. Do a little searching on using laser jet prints and transferring them to copper board. Then etch. Note the copper has to be...

A couple of thoughts. Is your spindle pulley really on the high speed position? Is the runout of the spindle excessive? Both of these conditions could cause your problem. The parameters you said you...

In GW Setup tab, click on the adjust button of the Spindle HP line. Then use the torque curve I attached. It is for the PCNC1100. Also I set the rabbit to about 75 to 80 percent as 100 percent is too...

You may want to update PP to v1.9.5 PathPilotâ„¢ Software Center | Tormach Inc. providers of personal small CNC machines, CNC tooling, and many more CNC items.
They specifically state G20 G21...

This does not answer your question directly but gives you a couple of methods to get the answer if no one knowing responds.

Much of the time a switches rating is printed on the switch. You may...

The current draw from each BOB may vary under use(load) but the 1A wall wart may handle it. I recommend you try it and maybe monitor the 5V with a DC volt meter or multimeter (DCV) on the volts...

Tormach 440 check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itL4S6UmsqU

I select all holes that are the same diameter, then click "Center" under "Job Assignment", then highlight all the hole faces assignments and click Properties. See my properties popup box attached....

In your screen shot, why is there a negative 4.2 on the right hand side and a positive 9.84 on the left hand side for the X axis? It looks to me as though it is upside down and bass ackwards. I'm not...

Tightbond wood glue and clamps works good. Spread a coat on each surface and clamp. For added strength use Kreg Jig pocket holes. I like this one....

NC Corrector is free ware viewer that will show you g-code. Open your g-code in NC Corrector, look at a top view and zoom in to see if your code is cutting smaller diameters each pass. An alternative...

.1uF would be a common value. It would be better to contact the manufacture of the board and ask them. I don't think you need to worry about the voltage rating. Surface mount cap can be easily found...

The cable basically goes from the Power Draw Bar control box at the top of the column to the VFD. The cable can be routed down through the column and into the control cabinet to the front of the VFD....

*! PlEASE NOTE !* If you have installed a foot pedal and do not have an ATC there is an element of danger where one can release a tool while the spindle is turning. One might say "I just won't step...

I use NC Corrector, free G-Code editor. to step through and visualize my tool paths. It's free and assumes millimeters but I don't mind.

Depending on the volume you need, a Tormach may be a good fit. But there's always a cost benefit to consider. The part looks to be about 2" x 3" and I believe it can be machined from the top and...

It would be very uncommon for this connector to be bad. Disconnect mains power then fully screw that connector plug into the spindle motor(I assume that is the connector to the spindle motor), then...

You could use a down spiral end mill or maybe a straight flute and a vacuum table or perhaps the edge clips mentioned by CG. I have used double sided sticky tape and spray-on contact adhesive and...

I agree with G59 & Andrew! Please please don't do this any more. The possibility of a bad outcome for you personally is very great. Find a local shop with the right tool for the job then everyone...

Did you select the side edges for the contour? If so then try selecting the inside(top) or the outside(lower) edge of the chamfer only then pick a contact point on the tool tip(on same page as tool...

Tormach states that you can skip updates and jump to the most current. I am also using 1.9.3 and I have no issues with axis control paths. I am currently running a 10K line program and the Z axis DTG...

Safety first! There is lethal high voltage in there. The fuses and low voltage power supply's would be a good place to start. If you are equipped you can check the high voltage power supply. I...

Check this out RS232 serial null modem cable wiring and tutorial and look at the diagram in "Null modem with loop back handshaking" section. You may need the jumpers at each end of the cable.

If any of the cables have a shield then the shield should only be connected to the Star ground on the one end near the BOB. Do not connect both ends of a cable shield. Using a shielded twisted pair...

You are not reading the info within GWizard correctly. The row labeled limits are machine limits not cut recipe limits. Look for the row labeled "Results" for the recipe. Under the setup tab select...

I have been using PathPilot since shortly after it came out. It may be a little work to adjust existing G code to be compatible with PathPilot but I believe it is well worth the effort. My machine...

I don't need an answer to his any longer. I purchased a Tormach PCNC1100 and some Shars goodies from ebay discount_machine.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!

Hello out there! I may have posted this in the wrong spot but I could really use some knowledgeable advise on this purchase. Please help.

I would use NEMA34 Bipolar or Bipolar Hybrid steppers and run them in parallel winding configuration as this gives the best speed torque curve but at a higher current. I would also consider the...
