Just from looking at your pictures I'd have to say that the reason they thinned the bottom of the tool changer is because the tee slot table is thicker than the plain table with bolt holes.
The...
It will come from the capacitors and overloading the transformer. Not an issue if you are not operating at peak accelerations on both motors constantly. It also helps to use a high quality power...
You don't have to supply peak current. You have to supply 7.5 amps.
I ordered a pair for a benchtop lathe project.
I'll be hooking them up hopefully in January when all of the parts get here. Belt reduction parts, servos and power supply.
They require 7.5 Amps...
What happens when you run the program again over the same path?
Same cut, no cutting load. Would show machine flex issues.

The vacuum and dust collector can be put in a baffled box that allows airflow but limits sound transmission.
I found this example with an image...
I've had two of the speed control boards fail. I've also had all the relays in the control box fail. Doesn't sound line your problem though.
Take a look at that clear relay, that switches the...
It's this guy. He will make any length and I'm sure you or he can turn down the diameter.
If I can't figure out a way to make one I'll probably get one from him.
EDIT: Look at this, a collet...
Even if you're going to be building a machine from scratch that suits your exact needs, I would encourage you to buy a used CNC router.
Get your hands on one now, because you can use it...
Hey,
I have one. Not running yet, but the plan is soon.
The tailstock mounts on a piece of square stock that is attached at one end to the headstock and at the other to the the slab that the...
Buy a used Biesse ROVER.
Building machines is fun, but you've got contracts and time is money.
The learning curve on using a CNC is something to contend with, and it's tiny compared to the...
Okay, turned that bronze pivot pin that I got from the flea market down so it fit in my newly bored hole. Threaded the end, made a nut, bored it out and tapped an Acme thread, turned the head to take...
Piece of 1/2" cold rolled steel cross drilled for a bit. Just a little sharpened piece high speed Steel. The black thing clamped to the quill with the vice grips is just a weird chunk of stuff with...
Zay7032g came from harbor freight. Got the CNC a while ago but I just upgraded the z axis recently.
The old z setup had about .250 of stick slip and slop. Not surprising, given the two pulleys,...
This is the after shots, too many perhaps, but maybe it will help someone.
It''s the rails not the rack. Examine the rails
Hey man hang in there. Just keep reading and learning about your machine. It may take some time for it all to sink in and that is only as big a deal as you make it. Tinker and learn and don't give up!
Cool, I'm going to try and cut some. I'll let you know how it works.
Hi,
I had this problem this week when I was setting up my limit switches for the first time. IT's a bug that is caused by starting up LinuxCNC with one of your home switches tripped. Jog the...
Hey,
You need to follow my instructions in this thread http://www.cnczone.com/forums/benchtop-machines/117765-cnc.html

I'll vote for DeltaCad and SheetCAM. It's what I use in the office!
Hey Everyone. I had the control panel off of my Light Machines Prolight mill and took a couple of pictures of the inside.
This is the back of the Z column.
Thought there might be some...
I have a LightMachines bench top mill. Last night I had the control box off. I thought you might be interested in these photos.

Have you made any progress?
You need to be able to draw parts and then you need to turn drawings into G-code.
Try DeltaCAD for drawing. It's really easy for drafting. There is a 30 day demo...
I hooked mine up using a buffered breakout board to connect to the black control box. The safety switch for the safety shield prevented the spindle from starting until I taped the magnet for it to...
Check out Target in the kitchen section, all that new silicone bakewear stuff might be the trick.
Hi,
So that chip is not an opto isolator. It is a line driver buffer which helps to maintain clean signals over longer cable runs.
The actual optos are on the UBOB.
I am at the edge of...
Mr. Chips,
Look at the opto on your board and look up the manufacturer's data sheet.
The info you seek is there.
