    Re: Fixed Gantry Mill

    update

    After seeing the machine move I decided to go with the NEMA 34 closed-loop motors as I believe the NEMA 23 will run out of torque at high speeds.

    I managed to get the table frame welded...

    Re: Fixed Gantry Mill

    I plan on using a 32" touch screen, mounted in portrait, and will be running Mach3.

    I was looking into the Pokeys57CNC for a controller. Good or Not?

    Also is there any Mach3 Screen Set in 1080...

    Re: Fixed Gantry Mill

    I have been busy at work, so the progress on the machine is slow. I did manage to get the Y-axis rails and ball screws on. I also made some room for NEMA 34 motors just in case I am not happy with...

    Now to finalize the design and get started

    This is the low viscosity resin that I could find in South Africa. Do you think it...
  11. Re: Opinions & Advice on A rigid Epoxy/Granite/Concrete

    yes that is exactly what i was think about. shallow cuts a high feed rates.

    i have seen people using DMM servo motors 0.75KW on mini mills cutting steel. do you think that a this coupled to a bt30...
  12. Re: Opinions & Advice on A rigid Epoxy/Granite/Concrete

    i did not think of that. making the gantry square (height and width equal) will this not make the gantry twice as heavy and take up some of the cutting area?

    i redesigned the gantry. let me know...
  13. Re: Opinions & Advice on A rigid Epoxy/Granite/Concrete

    i would like to drill and profile some mild steel ( not very big parts 150mm x 150mm)

    i was under the impression that if i could get the feed rate up high enough that would compensate for the high...

    sorry about that. i did attached the pics but they seem to have disappeared.

    the motor is rated at 2000rpm

    it is either epoxy granite or concrete or even a mix of both if that works
