what happens if you ground that plate at the computer? does it trigger then?

I'm using Ger21's 2010 screenset and have probing working.

I run Windows 10 pro with both Mach3 and Mach4. I use a ethernet smoothstepper for control. Can't remember if you do or not. I don't think parallel port will work under windows 10.

Electromechanical EStop diagram is missing from that page. that was the reason I was stopping in.

nm.. it's back

if 1/4-20 doesn't work, try 8mm if I'm not mistaken. you can also re-tap to 1/4-20. this is what I did on my KC20-vs from King Industrial in Canada. made it easier than attempting to figure out the...

I emailed him beginning of dec for replacement files for his drawings and videos. I got a response immediately

Haven't quite got to the full CNC of my G0704 clone (King Industrial KC VS20). Last couple of days, I decided to take it apart some what and remove some of the chinese goop all over.. One thing I...

I'm assuming that I have a tuning issue even though my servo's are quite quiet at rest or in movement. I get a jerky motion. When moving I can feel notches as in my R&P drive. I can also see the...

I just recently added a button on my spindle head todo the initial auto tool zero function. It took a lot of tinkering to get it working properly. My understanding is that poppa bear's mad4mach3...

I noticed that you are using bit holders for some of your bits. They look like they would make the bits into repeatable length allowing for use of the tool table in mach3. Who make's the bit holders?

Still a manual mill. I made most of the parts from Hoss's CNC DVD and then discovered that I need to remake a few parts in a slightly larger size as the mlll is not quite a G0704. I did however add a...

great. now you tell me. I'm in the process of setting up the control panel for a keling 1150oz/in servo setup with cncrp 3.2/1 setup. Sounds like it's gonna be a bust.

Thank you Mr Widget. Looks like some work in my future.

I preferred to have Mach3 control the on/off and spindle speed of the router. That is a personal preference though.

vectormagic, Coreldraw, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Aspire, will ALL convert a picture into a vector. Some are better than others. I've probably missed a whole bunch

[QUOTE=diyengineer;1673776]I need to modify my gib lock handles. I have the dro scales slightly in the way.[/QUOTE
I am interested in how you plan on doing this. I have the same problem. so lots of...

vector magic does work very well and for those cases that it doesn't quite get right, I'll use Coreldraw. Those are the only two converters I use. The RedLine Harley Davidson was converted from a...

unfortunately mcmaster doesn't ship to Canada at all. On the other hand though, motion technologies has a local subsidiary. Too bad the oldhams are $45/ea

I didn't know you had stopped. Sucks when real life interferes in our hobbies though.

I bought most of my stuff from ebay as well. Then I replaced most of it. the chinese motors I purchased from longs motors ended up having a old ball shaft size. I was expecting 1/4" and ended up with...

I get this as well.

C1 is kinda missing in action. Hope everything's ok.

I bought a kit from Shumatech, think it was $180 shipped. I'd have to check that. It's mostly assembled with just some soldering of connectors etc. The scales added about another $150 and I needed...

nope.. igaging with a Shumatech 550 head. I find a little bit of bounce on the 10 thousand's bit, but that should be close enough for now. Also emailed Chai from linearmotion and got a price on a set...

took two weekends to machine the parts needed to make phase 1 cnc. considering that until I purchased this milling machine in the spring, I had never used one I think I did pretty good. My biggest...

is there any reason to not use helical coupler's when connecting up your stepper's to the ballscrew's?

I kinda prefer that it doesn't automatically do this. I've been running a job and suddenly a motor will stall. If I'm quick enough I've been able to stop the run, re-home and then restart to save the...

wonder if I should get one of these advance of the PDB3 plans :)

too clean. needs to cut something and make a mess :)
