Excellent. Thank-you Tom.
I will also add the cap.
I'm looking forward to finally using the KFLOP.

I have the same question as well, except mine is KFLOP REV 1.1

I really need to retire so I'll have some time to use all this cool stuff!

Thanks for the info Al. I'll checkout the book.

Thanks "underthetire" and "Dylwad." That answers my question.
Looks like I need to investigate the G and M codes.

Do you know what the reasoning is behind the 29.5 degrees?

I have a question on Manual vs CNC single point threading. As I understand it, in manual threading, the
Compound is set at an angle of 29.5 degrees. As the thread is cut, successive cuts are made...

Hoss, did you get your Rostock delta printer up and running?

Also, have you seen the DeltaMaker on Kickstarter? Pretty simple design using MakerSlide.

Thanks for your suggestions wizard. Your diagnosis is basically the same as the Optimum Reps, loose gear train and less than "Optimum" motor driver. I do like the looks of the Poly-V belts. I'll...

Al, what would you consider a quality T.M. motor? Can you recommend any specific brands? There sure is quite a selection on eBay! Should I look for a 3 hp motor like my original? Thanks for your...

Thanks for the tutorial Al.
How would I determine if my motor is 4 or 8 pole?
I am curious, why do you recommend brushed DC over 3-phase AC? I am not leaning towards one or the other, just...

Thanks Ray. I will now investigate the brushed DC and 3-phase AC motor possibilities. Sounds like the way to go. Do you suppose inferior performing BLDC motor/controller combinations are used by...

Thanks for the info Ray. After a quick reading at the Baldor Motor website,
I see what you are saying about the Hall devices and a brushless DC motor.

Would you suspect the Hall sensors imply...

Hi All,

Well, this is my first real post after many years of lurking and learning.
This is such an awesome site! Hopefully in the future I can actually contribute,
but for now here is my...

Hi All,

Today my Mill Advantage posts were removed by "ger21" and I was informed that selling is not allowed in forums. Sorry about that. My post has been moved to the classifieds. Thanks.
