That is kinda what I thought and I have broken a number of them after using them a while. However, After switching to another bit in this pack it immediately snapped(it was running on the X axis...

not sure why that came in sideways.

Would an opto coupler at the arduino end on the limit switch wires be helpful?

Yes. All the cables are running in the same energy chain. How far away from the spindle cable do they need to be? Are there other options?
Thanks

I see your math but looking at Amana tool feed and speed chart I see 18000 rpm at 40 inch per min.
See attached.

I may be looking at your math wrong but it appears you are suggesting 118in/min at 1000 rpm?

Sorry. 2 teeth. Cutting solid poplar and particle board.

BTW I am using a DOC of .78 with a 20 degree ramp.

I am using a .125 compression bit running at 24000 rpm and 40in/min.

Only last week did the erratic Y axis start. So, I was thinking on it and I realized it started after I installed a new bit from a new set of 5(amazon). So, I swapped out the bit and installed a new...

Hi again. My spindle cables and signal cables are in the same energy chain. They have been since the beginning and I have always had issues with the limit switch trip. Only last week did the...

It only stutters when it is cutting. I can jog it all over the place at any speed from 40 to 600 in/min and it dies not stutter.

I checked all the pulley to shaft connections and I don't see any issue there. When I say I can see the stepper stutter I mean I have a flag on the motors back shaft and can actually see the stepper...

I have also checked the pulleys for their connection to the shafts and all that seems tight. When I say I can see the stepper stutter I mean I have a flag on the back shaft of the stepper and can...

I can jog the y axis at speeds between 40 and 600 inches per minute and it never glitches. When it is cutting at 40 in/ min I can see the y stepper stutter. I can move the axis manually and can't...

Ran some test cuts in particle board and it is still loosing steps on the Y axis. I can actually feel it jerk at times instead of being smooth all the time.

Having an issue with my machine. It runs 570 in/oz steppers from automationdirect.com and their drivers. After years of cutting my Y axis seems to be missing steps but only when cutting. Do...

Here is another possible piece of the puzzle. Ever since I built this machine I had problems with it randomly tripping a hard limit when it was no where near any limit switch. Got so bad that I...

Yes I do but just to be sure can you tell me exactly how it needs to be wired. I am going down every path.

I tried running the program above the work piece with no cutting and it ran fine. I turned on the spindle(2.2kw) and ran again above the work and again no issues. I even tried putting my weight...

I have a DIY cnc router running GRBL 1.1 on an Arduino UNO R3. Been working fine for several years but yesterday I noticed that the Y axis (a 570 in/oz stepper) running a 3-1 T5 on T5 belt drive)...

Looking more for 2D. Like mapping out boat floor mats.
Still where is there any documentation on the auto leveler in ugs?

I have a diy arduino based CNC router. It runs GRBL and I send GCode with UGS. Works great. I want to get into cutting foam decking for boats and am hoping some of you may suggest a way to digitize...

running simulate in Fusion works just fine.

Well I am running GRBL on an arduino uno R3. Grbl has limited documentation. Lets just say that GRBL cannot handle the code to 4 places. How do I fix that in Fusion 360?
Thanks

Sorry, not very technical, What do you mean by "your control"?

Trying to do a rather detailed 3D lion face. After generating the GCODE using fusion 360 and GRBL post it runs fine in simulator mode but I get this error when running it in check mode on UGS.
