I can't answer for Mach 4, I use UCCNC but the solution I use is probably the same.

1. for a long project put a known size hole (say 1/4") in the waste in a known location relative to the rest of...

It's 56mm x 56mm interior, and 72mm x 72mm exterior dims - some info found here: https://www.avidcnc.com/auto-z-and-corner-finding-touch-plate-p-288.html

I have this and can check later; you're looking for the 'interior' dimensions of the touch plate area itself right?

If you can plan ahead waste areas vs finish, you can use Raptor plastic finish nails: https://raptornails.com/ (no relationship with them, just a happy customer). They work great for me - use a...

I'll +1 for UCCNC - here's my post on how I converted from the stock CNCRP electronics to the UC300ETH controller and UCCNC; it honestly was pretty simple.
...

Here is my thread on converting from ESS / Mach3 to UC300ETH controller and UCCNC software. I have no regrets, but haven't used Mach4. UCCNC is a more modern interface and was easy to adapt to (vs...

@honesttjohn were you able to get this sorted out? The pictures GigaWatt provided are spot on.

It's really pretty straightforward; label each cable as appropriate (both ends), then connect them to the CNCRP control box as indicated. Each connector is label on the control box on the bottom...

I started with the same machine (NEMA34 but it shouldn't matter).

The instructions here: http://www.cncrouterparts.com/cad/2016Q1/PRO4848_CNC_Assembly_Instructions_v2016Q1_14.pdf beginning in...

I documented my conversion of a CNCRP 48 x 96 from Mach3/ESS to UCCNC here: https://www.cnczone.com/forums/cnc-router-parts/364894-cnc-software.html

Am very happy with it; there's no question...

I haven’t used it yet - any suggestions for the vertical fence? Welcome any input / suggestions

I wanted to have the ability to cut box joints and dovetails on my CNCRP machine. After some thinking and planning, I ended up adding an end vise on my Pro4896 machine and it seems like it's going...

Only wood.

Pro4848 here, upgraded to a pro4896. Extremely happy, have had excellent support. Instructions were very good, when I had questions they were responsive. Would buy from them again.

Thanks Gerry - I did run into some weirdness with math at one point, and ended up using a temp variable to do the math as a double and then convert it to text in the text string (but I honestly don't...

Yes, and funny you say that...I've spent a considerable amount of time working on a revised probe macro, re-working the 3 axis one from CNC Router Parts. I will post all those details in another...

I'm using Vectric Aspire with the StepCraft UCCNC post processor (added this to my original post), have not tried Fusion 360 yet. Looks like someone else responded though.

Hi all,


I’ve learned a lot here and wanted to give something back.


I was a bit frustrated with Mach3, it’s dated and feedback seems to be that UCCNC controller software has more frequent...

Is there any sort of walkthrough for dummies for switching from the ESS to the UC300? I also have a CNCRP plug and play setup (NEMA34 if it matters) but am interested in experimenting with UCCNC -...

That looks pretty cool - might want to check out 8020's cable tie mounting block - https://8020.net/shop/12316.html I used those and was very happy.

I have the pro4896 (upgraded from a pro 4848) and I agree with Don, I have not done anything like this level of investigation/remediation of perceived issues. I assembled it carefully following...

I'm sure more experienced folks will jump in, I built my Pro4848 last year and upgraded it to a Pro4896 this year. But I wouldn't be ok with that given the precision we're striving for in CNC. ...

I haven't installed it yet, but I purchased an ~8" hose clamp and plan on running a 14 ga ground wire from my spindle to the ground sensor on my touchplate through the ecage. Will strip the wire and...

So I'm a rule follower and didn't look (but thought a out it) - can you describe what was behind retainer #1?

Ok, I came up with something using stock 8020 parts (I'm not much of a metal fabricator, but this works great)

(3) 80/20 Part #4375, 15 Series, 6-Hole Inside Corner Bracket -...

Attached is the CRV version. Enjoy!

Nothing specific in mind with the rulers, thought it might be handy to have - certainly the grid for alignment is great, so adding the units of measure wasn't a big stretch.

Finally got my CNCRP PRO4848 up and running, thought I'd share my spoilerboard as I spent a fair amount of time designing it waiting for the hardware to arrive. I used 2 sheets of 19mm MDF glued...

@slodat - agreed, the cable in the image I found isn't 90*. It's not important though - the sensor sticks way out and is likely to get broken.

@clevet - that is exactly the type of guard that is...

@dgage is correct - am concerned about the outside of the sensors. They do come with a right angle cable but are sticking out exposed for me to bang into them.

So far I've considered just a block...
