    Re: Dust collection - CFM for CNC router?

    Thanks for the replies. The router does exhaust out the front quite a bit but it isn't as directed as it could be to evac dust from slots. I like the approach of cutting a wider contour where space...

    Re: Dust collection - CFM for CNC router?

    I can't rule out that the double bristles might have an impact. But I can perhaps give a better example. My last gift project contained a lot of full depth contour cuts in 3/4" MDF with a 1/4"...

    Dust collection - CFM for CNC router?

    I've got a 2'x3' machine that spends most of its time on MDF, pine and plywoods. Right now I'm struggling with an old 16g Craftsman vacuum and a Dustopper separator on a 5g bucket. I have a dust...
  4. Re: Tie 220v VFD into dryer line - with a switch?

    Hi Jim, thanks for the tip. The basement is a walk-out due to the slope so half is above ground. It's all block with no wall covering. I may put up a single wall to cut it in half and keep the...
  5. Re: Tie 220v VFD into dryer line - with a switch?

    Thanks guys, there was lots of good info to chew on here. It looks like there's a clear consensus for a new circuit. I haven't checked if code requires my dryer to exist on a dedicated circuit but...
  6. Re: Tie 220v VFD into dryer line - with a switch?

    The reason for a switch is so nobody else in the house runs the dryer while I'm using the circuit. It's easy to ask someone not to, but that doesn't always work. I also don't want to have to go...
  7. Tie 220v VFD into dryer line - with a switch?

    Hello, I've setup my CNC router in the basement. The clothes dryer and service panel are in the utility room directly above the router table and it's roughly in between them. The dryer supply runs...
  8. Benchtop Y-axis leadscrews poked through bushings

    I got all full of steam the other night while poking holes and ran the Y-axis into the bump stops like an apprentice. I was wearing ear plugs and manning the vacuum hose so I didn't really notice it...
  9. Re: Help choosing the right motion controller for UCCNC + MX4660

    Got everything purring along. Added a homemade Z-probe and modified the M31 macro, added some LED lighting and a bunch of 1/4-20 T-nuts to the underside of the spoilboard. UCCNC has made me have to...
  10. Re: Help choosing the right motion controller for UCCNC + MX4660

    I see, thank you. I suppose that means I can set the soft limits for the X/Y to zero. I cut my first spoilboard bolt-down holes tonight and I'm really happy. Then I guess I'll need to level and...
  11. Re: Help choosing the right motion controller for UCCNC + MX4660

    I sprung for the UC300ETH + 5LPT and so far everything works exactly how it should. I've wired in homing switches and configured them to also act as Limit (-). My Z home (0) is at the top and as it...

    Thanks fellas :)
  13. Re: Help choosing the right motion controller for UCCNC + MX4660

    That's 3 votes for the UC300. Does it typically include the ribbon cable to connect to the MX? The websites for these products leave a lot to be desired. I'll probably order from CNC4PC's Amazon...
  14. Help choosing the right motion controller for UCCNC + MX4660

    I've decided on UCCNC to run my Leadshine MX4660. To begin, I will run a DeWalt router and SuperPID until I get a dedicated 220v outlet, then I will switch to a VFD+Spindle. I will be using a...

    Re: Return policy

    I understand this emotion. I've placed my order and my CC was charged in full - I understand this is normal when ordering JIT products. Two weeks have gone by and while I'm still confident in my...
