I'm looking to make some enclosures for my servo drives. They're currently bare PCBs and while they have mounting brackets I'd like to make sure no stray conductive swarf gets in. Enter HDPE. It's...

Thanks everybody, for the help! I ended up going with a HiTorque micro mill from LittleMachineShop.com, and retrofitting it with some servos. I've acquired all the materials I need (200W Tamagawa...

I double checked and it's looking like there's no encoder on here, just the halls. Instead I went for some 200W Tamagawa motors that I have hooked up to some BLuDC servo drivers from Applied Motion,...

I have a micro-mill, so it'd be 20tpi. It certainly feels that way, with the amount of cranking I have to do to get the table to go anywhere...



I went with the BluDC4-S (Applied Motion...

Hi all,

Tamagawa Seiki Brushless Servo Motor TBL V 48V 5 7A 200W Encoder | eBay
I just bought 3 of the above 200W Tamagawa servos plus the controllers to go with them to convert my...

I was browsing through a local 'junk' electronics store, and I found a set of three Parker Compumotor brushless DC servos that had been a little banged up. I contemplated just grabbing them, but I...

I take all of that back. Doing a little research, the MaxNC is widely regarded as a horrible mill. I think I'm going to spend a little time re-evaluating what I want (maybe I'll re-focus on mould...

Let me clarify a little. My budget's bigger than a grand for just the machine. I'm actually eye-ing a mill right now that is just north of one. It needs a small amount of TLC (little backlash in one...

Hi guys,

I've been out of the CNC world for a while after building my own router about 7 years back. This time around, I don't want to build my own, I just want to jump into it at the very low end...

Thanks! The Current Hi/Lo worked a treat.

I specially used a higher rated stepper on the Z-axis, I don't want to limit the current here. And seeing as my screw is 1,25mm pitch, I hardly think the...

Hey,

I've recently built my own CNC, and so far it's working fine. The only problem I've encountered is that the motor on my Z-axis gets seriously hot after about 20 minutes of machining. Too hot...
