    Re: My 2nd 3 axis CNC Router build

    I don't know if you have looked on Mcmaster Carr but they have a wide selection of level options, having said that with that much weight I would not recommend castors. Castors to move it but once its...

    Re: My 2nd 3 axis CNC Router build

    Very nice work! That is going to be a very sturdy base. My 4x4 is welded steel and it just doesn't flex at all.....my top is T slot aluminum.

    Re: My 2nd 3 axis CNC Router build

    My general thoughts about locking washers is that they eventually loosen up. If bolt security is important I suggest something like safety wire. We used safety wire in either .020", .032" and .041"...

    Re: Opinion on a Gantry CNC setup

    My Warthog 4x4 CNC router is currently wired with both X axis steppers into one driver. I have never seen it run myself as it is a rebuild project too. I do know that as long as the driver is strong...

    Re: MX4660 kit

    Thanks for the input, I just looked and if I buy the kits its included. On the subject of wire size, the 18awg is larger than the 20/22awg you and your salesman suggested.

    Re: MX4660 kit

    As I am finalizing my decision one question came to mind, do I need to make a special DB25 cable to connect to it or will a standard DB25 work? Will it hurt the system to make the stepper control...

    Re: MX4660 kit

    I would think that the best way would be to go to 4 smaller ones for each motor. The MX4660 is rated at 10a with 12a peak. 2 4810's would exceed the capacity of the 4660. Are you sure that the...

    Re: What are your thoughts one this kit??

    I am not sure I understand Han's comment. If you are running dual steppers on the same axis you can slave them but that can lead to other issues. How big is your table going to be? How heavy is your...

    Re: What Breakout Board/Box Do I Need?

    If you have a DPF72004 and its functioning you need to have a cable to connect your PC to it and the cables to connect the stepper motors to it. I have the 72003 which I am in the process of fixing....

    Re: CRP4848 Nema 34 Build

    I looked at your power cable there and IMHO its to small. 14 AWG is for 15 amp circuits. The 2.2KW spindle will be pulling 9.15 amps steady state at max power on a 220 circuit, adding the minimum 50%...
