Hi there, does anyone know of an aftermarket ATC spindle to add on to an existing machine?

Running a Chinese 6040, with upgrade motors and controller (gecko 540), using Mach 3 and Vectric Aspire....

Hi there,
I'm looking to upgrade my 6040Z controller. My motors are starting to make some pretty weird sounds. Things basically sound uneven as I'm jogging. I regularly clean and lubricate etc.....

Here is the setup I have. I’m actually not sure what voltage my unit is. I’m guessing that if I hook new motors on them, the voltage still won’t be enough? (Based only on other comments/feedback I’ve...

Hi all,
I’ve got a 6040z that’s served me quite well for 4 years. However, I’m limited to about 1100mm/min, and the motors are starting to get very hot on my during regular jobs.

Hi everyone, relatively new CNC guy here. I’m using a Chinese 6040 machine, Mach 3, and fusion 360. My issue is I’ve designed a milling toolpath in fusion 360, I’ve set all My clearance heights...

Yes I did mean 1/4" shank, sorry. This appears like what I'm looking for! Thank you. Although the shank in picture appears larger than 1/4". (Comparing to the marker width)

Do you have this...

Good morning everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving! Quick question. Anyone know where to get a 1/4" holder bit for a marker or pen? I've seen the Rockcliff model, that's offset and holds the pen at an...

Gerry,

Thanks a lot for the great info. I've downloaded the trial/free versions. I agree, a subscription service seems much better than $2K upfront! Thanks a lot, Cheers.

Hey all,

First post here. Just picked up a CNC router, and am considering spending some cash and purchasing some quality CNC software. Options are, Vectric Asipre ~ $2K, Artcam subscription, $45...
