I have a complete set of manuals for an OKK MCV500 but we still need them at work, it is possible for me to scan and e-mail what information you need , what's broken?

in the water table of the Fastcut G6 fabricator we have at work we use greencut and it it non toxic and safe for municipal sewer dumping ( as well as septic safe ) the test report they sent with it...

standard 1/2" tee nuts work fine on a HRT 210

we have a 1998 haas vf3 that has been reliable as a clawhammer it also has something you can't get on a new Haas... a 32 position tool changer....it's been good

thanks for the invite , but I don't think a trip to Minnesota is in my near future
the trouble with Camsoft is the ability to configure it anyway you want, it's not simple enough , that's whats...

if Camsoft would make their control work exactly like a Haas control then they would have something.... I want a control that has NO surprises..

and to all that would say that they would rather be...

for 2D work I MUCH prefer Quickcad ( by Autocad ) for generating quick 2d .DXF files for generating 2.5D programs absolutely nothing is faster ( I can have the drawing done, posted code and be...

we did a spindle motor/gearbox on our VF3 and IIRC the tech said the gears on the spindle motor are shrink fit at Haas and once removed they are junk?? we did end up doing the replace and exchange...

using my powers of deduction I would say the machine retrofit went something like this....

1, original control went FUBAR
2, machine was otherwise good so a retrofit was in order
3, camsoft...

I have messed around a little bit with EN30b (basically astroloy without the trade name ) and yeah , don't let it work harden , and the stringy chips will cut you really bad ( found this out the hard...

Any news on the 10v to Step/direction boards?

a feature that is a necessity on a cnc control ( and is very rarely seen on "hobby" cnc controls) is a potentiometer feed override 0-200% and a feed hold button ( not an e stop , not on a keyboard...

on my Camsoft retrofit ( OKK MCV 500 ) I have to replace all G01's with G10's if I try to run a program with G01 the machine acts very skittish and faults out ( either freezes or makes an...

so is there a way to have a knob ( potentiometer or multi position switch) actuated feedrate override in EMC 2?.... this feature is what makes a "real" cnc control ( like a HAAS or Fanuc ) really...

everything is helpful as you fellows know a LOT more about electronics than I do

I'll keep plugging away ( seriously considering re doing the board at this point ) and will report back with my...

it looks like I have some checking to do , I did verify the chip ( using IC Prog ) but I was unsure about the 10k variable resistor ( I am an electronics newbie )

I have to turn the pot all the...

Kwackers, I built the board ( point to point wiring on Veroboard ) and all I get on the LCD display is a row of squares any ideas? I have checked and double checked everything I used a JDM...

I would say check the optical limit switches on your toolchanger, they're probably dirty

I agree that case hardened 8620 would make a good spindle ( this is the same steel that automobile ring and pinion gears are made from ) another alternative that I have had good results with is...

if you need a new gasket Faucher industries in Vancouver BC sells rubber window gaskets in bulk http://www.faucher.ca/eng/faucher/index.htm

( of course you could also buy them from Haas )

I have machined walnut on my Haas VF3, using a 5/8 carbide end mill 45deg helix... at 7500 ( as fast as it will go ) it worked fine , aside from the clean up which was a PITA ( a machine full of...

how soon will the 10v step/direction ( Lixie? ) boards be available?

it's just another case of R+D

Accurpress has a chart on their website to match the die opening to the tonnage requirements

I have never seen a press brake that uses a pressure gauge to set stroke limits? usually there is an...

for straightening tubing ( or just about anything that is long , and needs to be straight ) monofilament fishing line is the best , preferrably in a brighter color ( the blue can be hard on the eyes...

the freezing trick does work , just use duct tape to cap the ends and fill with water , the only problem is finding a deep freeze large enough for exhaust pipes

this is a reply for the folks at camsoft... please stop saying that you can use your old drives and encoders for your controller to work properly you NEED torque mode drivers and Differential...

thanks for posting this! the controller is something I could really use .The only part of this that I don't get is how to load the firmware onto the IC's there must be some top secret mojo that I...

thanks Mods. for a forum for OKK iron!
