Hello Scott,

That's a nice reply, and frankly I can't wait to meet you. I think a local network of some kind is a great idea. Unfortunately, I cannot contribute a helluvalot when it comes to cnc...

Hello folks.

I'm in Knoxville, with a home-based wood shop of sorts (purely hobby), currently building a cnc router table. I could use a bit of help with the following if one of you guys has the...

Well, Dongle, one thing I have learned (if responses to my questions on this forum and others are any indication) is that really basic questions do not always have really basic answers. :-)

I'm building a router table and need some assistance selecting appropriate encoders for use with Mach3. My concern is the max rapid movement of the axes.

I'm putting this table together from used...

Just trying to pay attention because it is clear that Lazycam will be my quickest path to productivity. Very impressive stuff.

Art, this application has me excited. I have watched the video a few times more and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

During one of my viewing sessions I noticed something I'd like a...

I also found an archived thread (Paths to G-Code) http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14537 that I have found very informative. It looks like you have been down this road before. Thank you...

Wow. Thank you Jon.

Exactly right, thanks; and sorry I was unclear. Great to hear that feature will be built into the program. I am in the build stage of my first router table but things appear to be progressing nicely....

I undoubtedly fall into all three of Art's target user categories, so Lazycam looks like a blessing. And I'm new to cnc, to boot. So feel free to flame, but please throw in a helpful tidbit or two in...

Not on the encoders, but if you have a spare pair of the motors that you want to sell, or a lead on where to buy them, please contact me.

Thanks, Gar, for your subtle admonishment.

Yes, I admit I am informationally challenged when it comes to electronics. I am at the learning stage and will not undertake to actually build the PS...

OK. Basically I'm lost. I think I know how they all go together, but I do not know how to size the components for an appropriate PS. I have searched unsuccessfully for a site that will guide me on...

That sums it up pretty succinctly. No variac for me.

I guess everyone is right: Al is the man.

I need to build a power supply to power some 70 volt servo motors for my cnc router project, and I'm trying to get my ducks in a row prior to buying the components. Not having built a power supply...

Thank you. I managed to stumble upon the HEDS series and also US Digitals E6 series. They look very similar, and I suspect either will be suitable. Thanks again for the help; it saved me from making...

Thank you Al, and H500.

Thank you, but that confuses me even more. I am looking at the Tamagawa OIH35 series. Tamagawa has this encoder listed as an incremental encoder, but has it listed for brushless dc applications.

Question from newbie:

I'm trying to accumulate the components to build a cnc router table on the cheap. I have some brushed dc servo motors, and I'm looking for appropriate encoders.

I have...

Can anyone post a link to these motors, or are they no longer available? My search on the site yielded nothing. Thanks.

Kevin, thanks for the reply. Got it.

Well, a bit more perseverance has paid off: I figured out that to join the endpoints of two parallel lines (or curves) with an an arc (semicircle) I must first draw a line between the endpoints,...

Greetings,

I am a rank newbie at cad (downloaded the Partmaster product and video tutorials a couple of days ago). I have been attempting to create a very simple two-dimensional drawing so that I...
