Tony,
I had several attempts at trying to convert this machine to CNC but it was never very accurate.
The limitation I had was the Y-Axis had to much backlash in the bearing and the Z-Axis was...
I cut a track and inserted a 100 ohm current limiting resistor before the 1uf cap and it seems to be OK. On that note I haven't got around to adding this resistor to my other machine and the modules...
Guys,
I worked out the problem with my TB6600 only driving at 30% current. The Clock Pulse is too short from Mach3 (1-5ms).
Solution is change the value of one of the caps to 1uF.

Here are some pictures of my AT300 CNC conversion.
I Used 3x 282oz in steppers which seem powerfull enough however I think 2:1 ratio is the the best for all gears.
This mill has 2 weak points....
Hi,
I have a AT300 that I have converted to cnc.
send me your email address and I will send you some photos.
Cheers,

I should be able to make it - so that's a 'Maybe'
I have finished converting my Lathe/Mill to CNC so I will bring photos and movies of my creation.
Cheers,

G'Day,
I may need to order a high current stepper motor controller urgently on Monday to fix a piece of machinery. Can any one suggest an Australian company that might have them in stock that I...
Update: I found a great supplier in Victoria that sells timing belts and pulleys.
PIES Australia

He was very helpful with pulley and belt sizes to match my application and...
Can anyone suggest where I can buy well priced timing belts and pulleys in Australia? I want to couple my stepper motors to my Lathe/Mill but they all seem very expensive?
Here are a few pics...
Claudio,
I'm new to CNC but I would love to come and talk shop if that's ok.
I have a 3-in-1 Lathe/Mill which I have been thinking of converting for a while.
What I can offer is lots of...
