Yep, I think the edge finder is being retired to the junk drawer now. So much faster letting the computer do it.
Got her done. Never did get my lathe up and running, so I milled the arbor side and did all the turning in the mill spindle.
My thought with making everything perfectly concentric was avoiding...
Spindle interface is finally done. Had to order a second revision of the board, taking another 2 weeks, after one of the part libraries I used had the wrong footprint for my microcontroller, and I...
Ok, I'm dumb and pegged my indicator... Rechecked it and got .0004, still not bad.
New angular contact bearings are in. NO detectable runout on a tenths indicator! All for $100 in bearings off ebay, going with factory ones would have cost about the same.
...
I have not checked how far off it is yet - I'm currently rebuilding my spindle and waiting for some bearing spacers, so no place to mount the indicator for now. Just doing research on what I need to...
On my SX2.7, there's no way to adjust the tilt of the head in relation to travel in the Z axis - it's one single casting. I can only adjust the tilt of the column by shimming.
So I can either...
They definitely changed the castings, so I don't blame you guys. I just thought that you may have shipped me the wrong kit for a different machine at the time.
As for the machine, I cut my...
5/8 actually looks good, and I can do it with the stock I already have. Remaining red spots shouldn't be an issue since the model isn't considering higher grade steel and that the cylinders are...
Watched a couple videos and I think I got the basics figured out.
It doesn't actually seem that bad, the 1/2 aluminum bar is close, maybe I can go up to 3/4 and save some weight on the head...
Good to know, thanks!! It was actually 7" on center for the bolts and 1.5x0.5, so even weaker. I have a waterjet as well, so 1/2" steel plate it is.
What software are you using to simulate? I...
I asked this in another post, but is there any reason I can't use the probe upside down as a tool height setter with a disc stylus?

The 4" Parker LP cylinders I picked up have a pull force of 2062lbs each at the 175psi of my compressor, so I'm going to target around 3500lbs for the Bellevilles so it has some room for error. The...
Picked up one of these recently too. Here's my idea for a mount. Renishaw has all the mounting dimensions in one of their PDF files.

It'll go on one of the cheap...
Almost done here - it's moving and cutting! Still working on a few things to make it perfect. Quite a process.
Using PoKeys57CNC along with Clearpath servos, Mach4 control, makes for a very...
Will it be accurate/reliable?
I picked up a Renishaw MP3 off ebay, and was thinking of getting one of the disc probes to use it as a tool height setter. I see some of the cheaper probes have an...
