Well. Centroid recommends a DB25 breakout board to connect the logic signals.
Just have wait. Just ordered it.
Got the power supply and acorn mounted today.

Hi all
Just need the wiring for the step, direction and common from the Gecko to the acorn.
It looks straightforward but it was also mentioned to follow the wiring diagram I believe for a 203...

Hi Jim

I`ve been doing my machine building as a hobby. I just find it so rewarding, learning new things and applying the knowledge to make something from nothing.
You have one-up on me. I`ve only...

Hi Jim

You`ve been a big help. I thought other cnczone members would add their comments but it seems if it isn`t a diy cnc build there is no interest. I have been doing web searches and have
seen...

Hi

So I went shopping at home depot and spent 65 dollars on fittings. That was an unpleasant surprise. So the air distribution
system comprised of copper and brass fittings is in its approximate...

Hi

Slow progress on the project. Am spending a lot of time on eBay looking for used regulators etc. Did find a used linear slide to use as
a hold-down clamp. That will keep the plywood from...

Hi Jim

Yes, Automation Direct has great prices.

The only thing I see is in some cases for stopped dadoes you want the router to move into the work slowly.
I fooled around with flow restrictors...

Hi Jim
I believe the experiment is a success. Amazingly all the assembly of fittings and routing to the ports was correct the first time. Air tank was set at 20 psi. The retract was at 80 psi. When...

Hi Jim

I had ordered a 5 way two port manual lever valve for the project. Now I`m wondering if its the correct choice. There
is I assume only one port to supply the air to the manual valve But...

Ok I understand. Thanks so much for your assistance.


Best Wishes, Barry

Hi Jim

Just a thought. Instead of a remote tank. Can the same result be implemented by using a separate air regulator and a dedicated air line to the port?
My guess is NO. I will try your idea....

Hi Jim
Let`s see if I`m understanding this correctly. So use one air slide. The air tank would be attached to the down stroke port.This creates the float. And the amount of force can be controlled...

Hi All
I am reconsidering my current design for the floating head router assembly. After looking at the floating heads for engraving I decided to
follow that design. I was going to use a single air...

Hi
I am not an expert in these matters but have built a CNC myself. That z-axis is extremely long. Its needs to be supported further up the length of the z. Shars a Chinese importer
has cheap...

Hi All


For the hell of it, I did a search for floating head varying thickness.I wasn`t expecting to find much....Surprise! Found this at damencnc.com Its a floating head for engraving
I`m...

Hi Jim
It seems so. I believe this is a better location for the design issues. I checked with the manufactuer of the linear slide. It seems the max pressure is 43 pounds. That`s more then enough to...

Hi Coherent

I assume you're voicing your concerns to me and not Khouj. The reason is this is a design that is nothing new. This was used before the CNC became affordable. As a cabinetmaker, I...

Just to machine dadoes into the surface of the plywood.

Hi


This is going to be a single purpose machine. I have a 8.5-foot sliding table saw for sizing plywood. This is just for the machining of dadoes in the plywood ends of cabinets.

Hi
I am building a panel router for my woodshop. I asked questions in the General Woodworking forum. Not much response.
I was hoping someone from this forum might visit my thread.

Hi


I should have added a video of a commercial panel router. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLwT0fCgy-4 To save time move to the 28 seconds point in the video. You`ll see the details on the...

Hi all

I`m looking for some one that owns the safety speed cut panel router. I am going to do a DIY panel router for
my shop. I`ve done some design work in Fusion 360. There is only one aspect...

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone is cutting the parts on a table saw and then doing the dadoes
and line-boring on a machine smaller a industrial full size cnc machine. If you are what
software...

This shop-built machine has proven to be very affordable, commercially available machines cost approximately $45,000. In addition, by designing two machines, which share a common footprint valuable...

Hi all
I am concerned that once you invest in a autodesk product you are trapped. As an example Fusion 360 is free at the moment. I don`t believe
it will be free forever. Nor do I believe the...

Hi

I have changed the line weight to a very thick line. .030. When I print the line it is not any thicker and
the drawing is so light its hard to read. I`m certain my ink is full. I`m run out of...

Hi All
I was somewhat frustrated with my progress tuning this drive. I sent a email to Gecko.
Mentioning that no matter what I did with the gain and damping I could not change the
the waveform....

Hi
I think the build is going great. Your gantry is going to be very heavy. I would use servos instead of steppers. I`ve seen alot of builds and they end up
switching to servos. Servos have their...

Hi
I was in over my head with this 3 phase magnetic starter. I had a industrial electrician stop over
to take a look.I needed the machine running ASAP to finish a cabinet job. The end result was...

Hi Al
I haven`t gotten around to test. It seems the motor is an open drip type. I just blew out 50 years of dust.
I did notice that when the start is pressed the motor rotates a 1/4 of a inch.
