I have a 1996 Howa 320H-VCJ. Batteries died in the ATC control (Meldas FCUA-MP10-06S1) and Magazine control (Meldas FCUA-MP10-03)

Does anyone have a list of parameters (servo, user, PLC) for...

I just happened upon this thread. Very informative. I'm also enjoying Jono5Axe's build thread.

Goemon - If you are looking to build a lightweight gantry that is also precise, why are you...

Arbo (and Ahren) -

Didn't mean to hijack the thread. I appreciate the info - my main concern was how you maintained parallelism. I wonder if the vertical risers supporting the x-rails give a bit...

Nice machine, and very quick build. I came across your blog via Ahren's site. I am looking to build a CNC fabric cutter that can be knocked down and moved around. Something with an x-y...

I am considering getting an 8 x 32 knee mill (Jet JVM836 or Grizzly 6760) first to use as a manual mill, with future cnc conversion. can't deal with a full Bridgeport in my space. My concern is the...

Thanks for both your answers.

I called Nook Industries yesterday, and the sales rep said they have butt joined rails even without the dowel pins successfully using roller bearings in pillow...

I have several 46" long pieces of 1/2" pre-drilled linear shaft, hardened. Shaft ends are eased/deburred. I also have aluminum suport rail. I want to use them end for end to extend my x-axis...

You peaked my curiosity. I found a "tangential control" checkbox under the settings dialog (Alt 6) with two values to edit for "lift angle" and "lift z" below it. I also dug into the...

Thanks, nccams -

For fabric cutting I think the interpolation of circles as short segments is fine. My CAD program use NURBS and cubic splines as well, and outputs them to DXF as line segments to...

I'm new to CNC, and am looking at building a "pizza wheel" fabric cutter.
You're basically looking at a standard 2.5 axis router type set-up and a rotary head to keep the pizza wheel cutter tangent...

Thank you, Gerry -

I'll post a specific query on this to the Mach forum, and see what other responses I get to the general question.

I'm new to this forum and CNC in general. Seems like there are afair number of decent, inexpensive CNC control software packages for 2.5 -3 axis control of router tables and mills.
