lol, I mean I dont know any other info on them and havent tried them yet.

Well, the only information other than whats been labelled on them, is that they make good paper weights. That's all so far. :)

Are there any free plans to download this?, or is it basically you buy the kit which is too expensive.

So far, I am looking at the linear ball bearing method. Adding supports to it is a good idea. The shaft I mentioned, I dont know if its hardened or not, I'll have to check it. I do know the...

Hi,

I will be starting this month a CNC router. I already got the framework, which is basically a 1/8" thick stainless steel sheet bent around all corners to form a box. The box size is 33.25"...

There is a third option which might be a compromise between vertical and horizontal. I remember sometime reading that someone here posted a build log of some sorts of having the framework and misc,...

Is that also from mastercarr? Whats product code or something?

Also, what would the cost be on that thing?

Thank you for the comments. I havent thought about how the plasma behaves and the quality of the cut metal when done in this direction. I will have to experiment with this in the comming weeks.

Hi,

I am planning to make a cnc plasma cutter. I already have the hypertherm 100.

For now, I am looking at the mechanics firstly.

Due to my limited ground floor space, I am considering...

Nice home made rails system.

I may have missed it, but what is the diameter of the rod?
And is the rod regular round? or the grinded shaft material?

If one were to do something similar, what...

I am still in the research and design stage.

But I have my eye on the Candcnc breakout board (plugs into the xylotex drivers):

And for the 3-axis drivers:...

Any guess is good. :)

If they are around 200oz, I guess I could add a reduce train belt system of some sorts to boast it up to around 400oz (2:1).

I have 3 of these steppers. I think these were in old large industrial dot matix printers. I would like to use these on a 2ft x 5ft CNC router, mostly for wood and rarely for aluminum block. I...

Thanks for the links. I did a search but I hoped to get more info here.

I was interested in doing one from scratch from circuit schematics for the desired values I have listed. But the PC PS...

Hello,

I am looking for a power supply that can deliver 13.8V - 14V with 10-15Amps for a Hobby battery charger. Ordinarily, a 12V lead acid Car batter is used. I would like to use a power supply...

Hello,

First off,

Having re-read the software description in the manual, it should be ok.

The provided software has features to move manual move the wire to a start position before the EDM...

Hello,

I am in the early stages of my wire-edm project. It will be a small DIY type desktop cnc, which I will be making. The cutting area will be about 12" x 12" and the height of the...

Nice thread, I am learning alot as well.
Keep up the good work. And let us know of the progress too.

I know there were some similiarities between the earlier post and this one, but this is means slightly different, hence thats why I posted it.

Hi,

I got some old linear guideway blocks (for 28mm rails, superheavey duty) from Hiwin, but no rails. I am doing research still and getting some prices, but I am thinking of making my own rails...

Thanks for the replies. Also, thank you for the photos ynneb. I really like your machine. Hmm, I wonder if a plasma cnc can fit into Santa's slide? :) hehe.

Reason for 640oz steppers, is that...

Oh, cool, I didnt look in the ROUTER section. That link you listed is awesome. I better understand, and yes, I am kicking myself now...ow. Its like a step by step photo instruction manual with...

Hello,

Concerning: what is belt drives?

My project background:

I have been reading a lot here in cnczone. There is a lot of info here, too much to handle. I am doing my research before I...

Thanks for the replies.

lol, Evodyne...I was just "openly thinking" of the possiblities..hehe. It would be neat though, assuming the mechanical devices can be made to support it.

Concerning my...

I will be a first time cnc builder, and this thread was really informative. Thanks.

So a 200steps/rev + Gecko 10uS + 5tpi ball screw + Direct Connect = 10,000 steps/inch.
And if the Stepper is...
