Novett, do you still have the eBay listing number for your purchase? I would like to get the box specifications, specifically the box NEMA type. That box would work well for my controller upgrade....
In Mach3 there is a configuration page that allows setting the machine coordinate for G28. It's either under the Homing or Safe Z settings. I have mine set to the same position as my tool height...
Also, I think you need to zero out the back lash values before you test, otherwise the existing values are in effect during testing.

Yes, that is normal. You will see differing values for the X & Y axis. In fact you would see different values along the ball screw since there are variances along the travel. I would expect this to...
Go back and retest your backlash. I'm not sure if you can expect tolerances within your backlash. Gerry could probably answer that one. But, I did notice that I had to go back and reset my backlash...
I discovered the same problem with calibrating my axis recently. Any measurement under an inch using the dial indicator was multiplied over the full extent of the table. I got much better results...
I'm not sure what is the core of this plywood. It's probably not red oak since I bought it at Home Depot. So far it's a quality piece of wood. I haven't found any voids and after cutting the...
Yep, I'll surface the table once it's done. I have some 1/2" MDF I was contemplating on ripping to length and gluing between slots. The MDF would be my sacrificial surface and could be be patched...
It's been a while since I posted an update...
I'm finally making some real progress with the new work surface for my CRP-4848. I'm using red oak 3/4" plywood for it's dimensional stability and...

I'm in the process of finally putting a decent work surface on my CRP-4848. I'm cutting 3/4" red oak plywood. I choose red oak thinking it would be more dimensionally stable and would provide more...
Rob, I looked over the modified file file and it looks spot on. I think I understand all the choices you made and why you made them. Again, I appreciate you reviewing and showing me how it's done. ...
Thank you Rob. I'm downloading it now to see what you did. I really appreciate the help.

This one has me stumped. I'm trying to use V26 to create a table top for my CRP-4848. All my operations work except when I try to set a tool path for a t-slot cutter. The operation is created with...
Hello, I was wondering if there were drawings or images available for the cat and butterflies. I would love to make that for my mother's kitchen for Christmas or Mothers day.

I also have mine at 34 inches to match my table saw with the intent to us my CRP 4848 table surface as run out if needed.

That corner being empty looks so wrong.

I meant to reply, Fastest1 beat me to it. I would also include integration for the PMDX 107 spindle controller and PMDX 134 and 133 "motherboards" for mounting and interfacing Gecko controllers. The...

The PMDX 126 along with the PMDX 107 spindle controller and ESS is my favorite combo. So much of the configuration just works the first time.

I have done the same and it works fine. The only advantage the plug in would have is eliminating the export step, which would be useful.

The UK web site has a page that features a plug in for Alibre to export Alibre parts to PM3D. I recently purchased Dolphin PRO. I also have Geomagic design which is the latest version of Alibre. Try...
Jid, every time I watch your videos I'm curious about the vises I see. They look like they are about 3 inches. Where did you get them? I'm also curious what cutters and S&F you were using. They did a...
Gerry! I think you just solved the long standing issue I have had with homing the gantry on my CRP-4848. I need to double check in the morning, but I'm sure I have both homing switches for my gantry...
Richard, I have a CRP -4848 I built for myself. I built the table to place the table height at 35". I chose that value mostly because it was at a convenient height to match my steel saw horses, ...
Thanks for the information. The dimension I'm most concerned with is the length measured from the back of the face of the spindle head to the end of the spindle. That would tell me if it's long...
Hoss, I'm interested in converting my HF 9x20 headstock to use a 5C collet spindle. I haven't decided if I will use the headstock as a 4th axis for my CNC'ed X3 or convert the HF 9x20 to CNC. I...
I haven't seen this problem.
I run the CRP-4848 with the ESS on the same network as the rest of the shop. It's plugged into the same network switch as everything else. I have no problems using...
