There's to many possibilities to answer your question. Since your posting in this Alibre section you probably want to know about it. I'll tell you why I've used it for 10+ years.

The "catch" is that the program is actually pretty good and you will get hooked on it and start paying the maintenance every year! In four years you will have paid the $999.
sharpshooter90,
I don't know about the Patriot design but the CNC housing as delivered on a non-CNC TriPower is far from a "clean package". It is nearly impossible to open or get access to the...
Hi,
I haven't looked at this topic for a while but I don't think the problem has been solved yet. Look up table rotates.
I haven't figured it out on my machine yet. I believe the problem is...
Hello again,
I like the way you have partitioned the high power motor drive electronics on a separate board with the PWM-A, PWM-B, buffered ENC-A & -B at the interface. I don't understand why the...
Hi Roberto,
Looks like your having fun! Great work and great pictures. I noticed the same issue with the bolts, see: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?p=271324#post271324
Did you...
Hi Alexander,
Looks like a nice development. I had been thinking of making a uhu style controller except with an atmega128 for extra ease and features and because I'd like to program it in C. I...
Hi all, great thread.
Read the whole thing in the last few days! Have a question I don't think has been asked before. Some background first.
I have recently ebay'ed some 4 brush 1200 in-oz...
Roberto,
Hi, sounds like a big project. There are many things that need to be fixed. I have a late 2006 manual Tri-Power that I am in the early planning and procurement process of CNCing.
I...
On my Tri-Power which is somewhat similar I started with about .008 front to back (your Y?) and .018 left to right, your x. After 7 iterations I got it down to about .0015 total variation with the...
Vises are hard to shop for. You really can't tell the quality unless you can try one or pay big bucks for a big name like Kurt. Choosing a good size is also important.
I wanted a good square...
Hi John,
It's been a year since your last post here and I was wondering how the machine and your CNC motor sizing has worked out. I've seen your posts on the router you made with the shoptask and...
Kirk,
I have been a Tri-Power owner since September 2006. I pre-ordered for the $2995 deal, no extras, and picked up the machine in Vegas to save $500 shipping and have a fun trip. I visited...
Spencer,
I too would like to know how to adjust them. I wonder if the Eldorado has similar double acme nuts? I will ask John at Shoptask if nobody posts in the next few days.
Dahui,
I figured out something helpfull on my Tri-Power for reducing the table rotation around the z-axis. Having noticed the rotation when boring a hole on the lathe and then reading this thread I...
I am curious as to whether the linear encoders mounted directly to the moving surfaces as for the DRO, could be used for the motor encoder feedback with the appropriate setup on something like the...
