Build 2047 does not have this possible trojan virus. So I guess the question is what major change between build 2047 and 2048?

I uploaded the file to virustotal.com and it showed 3 types of...

A couple hundred message in, I know Hoss show's how to change the ball nut using cardboard tube.

Here's another option if you have a 3D Printer.

FAQs

Here's the setting I use on my 5056D from Hoss's website.

Get well soon Hoss. Have wonderful Christmas.

Hey Hoss,

On your Weiss motor, have your heard any squeaking sounds at low rpm?

Initially I thought it was the bearings in the spindle/quill or the head, but decided to remove the belt from the...

Spindle started to rattle on power up and changing rpm from high to low made it sound even worst on the low RPM speeds.

Tore spindle apart and the preload nut was still tight. Reassembled and...

You may want to go SSD. How do you plan to eliminate vibration from shaking the hard-drive when the mill is in operation?

I know its on a hinge, but machine vibration is gonna go every where...

Speaking of column, any recommendation on how to break those hex bolts loose at the bottom of the column?

Impact wrench?

use a usb external DVD rom drive if you only need to load from dvd one time and do upgrades. make your install look cleaner without one.

So are the lights in your neighbor going to dim when you run your new machine? :)

Your G0704 its probably shooting coolant at your new machine while yours sleeping :)

Nice. So where's the rest of your electronics? I didn't see your motor drivers? unless you got some really small ones.

Congrats! Didn't even realize you had a build thread on your new machine.

lcvette,

So how did you clean out the original coolant from your system? I would presume the old coolant would be all over the machine and chip tray. Did you use some neutral liquid to wash it out?

lcvette ,

I tore the spindle down and will go to town with cleaning out the old kluber and applying the new Kluber.

My first application of Kluber was used spareingly like on the AC bearings. ...

Dimitri its hard to say. I did not measure run-out prior to swapping to A/C bearings when I realize I had a large amount of run-out compared to other A/C Bearing converted G0704.

That being said,...

Day two results

4k RPM spindle temp was 88 degrees!!

Ambient temp was 83 degrees.

Previous results from Day 1

4k rpm was 105 degrees.

For anyone interested in going back to higher quality taper bearings than stock.

Lcvette,

I still had a ton of Kluber left over from the AC bearings as well. So ironic, I also have the Shars Test indicator as well.

Could you take a temp of your spindle next time you got it...

Swapped out the ac for taper and my vertical play is gone after pre-loading the bearing and my run-out is very minimal as well.

Did the bearing break-in and will check run out after it all cools...

I followed the many videos available on using the shims from Mcmaster Carr. The upper bearing, the shims sit on top of the bearing. the lower bearing, the shims are placed onto the spindle shaft...

argh!

I will pull spindle and put more pre-load on the top bearing.

Success!

For the top bearing, I used 6 shims instead of 3.

For the lower bearing I use 5 shims instead of 4.

The spindle shaft has a very very small amount of vertical play when outside the...

Hello,

I did use a pin spanner tool to remove and reinstall the upper and lower spindle dust covers.

I will press it apart today and see if adding shims corrects it.

thanks

I upgraded the G0704 spindle bearings and watched 3 different G0704 videos. Hoss, RussStuff, & Franco.

My question is that after i assembled installed the new bearings and shims, I noticed I have...

Hey Hoss!

I just wanted to say thank you for all your support in my G704 conversion. My journey has taken 5.5 years to convert my machine into functional machine. As of the last 3 week-ends, I...

Hey Folks!

So I have the KBMM125 hooked up to a C6 board from CNC4PC.com.

Using the manual pot that came with the KBMM125, I can get my max Spindle speed of 5500 rpm.

When I switch over to...

Hello Hoss,

Speaking of C6, I watched that you have two videos using the C6 board to control the G704 knock off KBIC board and your 2nd video where you are controlling the Weiss motor with a C6...

Hey Hoss, on your video regarding the C6 board and your C10 controller. you mentioned that the C6 and C10 should not use the same ground and a separate power supply.

I have a 12 volt dedicated ...

Hoss,

If I recall on your video, you are controlling your spindle with a C6 board connected to your KBIC 120 board.

Are you running any sort of relay to power on/off, if so where are you...
