  1. Re: Fusion 360 CAM, Unexplained end mill plunge, arghhh!!

    I don't have any homing setup becasue I don't have limit switches yet. So my G28 is 0,0,0

  8. Re: RAPIDTURN VERSUS SLANTPRO VERSUS MANUAL LATHE VERSUS SPINDLE TURNING

    Have you seen the YouTube video Tormach made on first part on the slant Pro? I thought Daniel did a very nice job explaining all of this
  9. Re: RAPIDTURN VERSUS SLANTPRO VERSUS MANUAL LATHE VERSUS SPINDLE TURNING

    Are there any rumblings about a series IV? Is there any reason to believe one is somewhat close? I'd love to see a new stand with better drainage, along with a few other nice mods, maybe an...
  10. Re: should I be able to blow fuse on G0704 by grabbing the spindle in high gear?

    Its possible that someone messed with the pots that control speed and torque on the control board. When I tried doing this, I was having problems with the power output and was blowing fuses way too...

    Anyone interested in selling a Mikini?

    I'd be interested in buying one as a project, I like the machine mechanically, and would want to swap out the motor and motor controller, and likely the electronics too. If anyone has one they would...
  14. Re: Precision matthews PM-940M Mill to CNC conversion

    Cool vid. Looking forward to seeing the machine in action, would be great to see a walk through of the whole machine. Looks like a beast!
  15. Re: Part 1 of another X2 Harbor Freight Mini Mill Conversion, NOT A KIT.

    Most people use couplers that allow for some slight misalignment. I have used these from McMaster with good results, but they are not cheap at all.

    Are they shipping it to a port that you will have to pick it up from? Very curious as to how you will get it.

    Re: starting our G4003G conversion.

    I've been thinking of getting and converting this same lathe, I will be following along.
  26. Re: Precision matthews PM-940M Mill to CNC conversion

    Are you using a double row AC bearing? If so, I don't see why it wouldn't work, but with a single row, I don't see how the bearing won't get pulled apart by force.
  27. Re: Precision matthews PM-940M Mill to CNC conversion

    I am following and reading, I think its interesting to follow one of the bigger conversions. There have been a million of the smaller conversions, but not many of the bigger. Nice work on the vids.

    Re: Probe trigger light on

    Only other possibility I can think of is that one of the wires or connectors has come loose. I would get on the phone with Tormach support, they will be able to help you.

    Re: Probe trigger light on

    In Mach, there was a setting to select which probe you were using, because one is NC and one is NO. I suspect PP is defaulting to the opposite one you have, and you just have to find that setting in...
