    CNC converted Grizzly G0704 for sale

    I have decided to sell my Grizzly G0704 that I converted to CNC a while back. I am selling because I have another CNC conversion almost complete and I no longer need this machine. I did use it...
  6. Re: Double ball nut worth it for long C7 grade rolled ball screw?

    Sure you can preload with oversize balls. If you have a drawer full of different sized oversize balls and want to load up a ballnut it will work. The oversize ball selection is critical and may...

  8. Re: Need help in DIY configuration/design of Proximity Switches 5 Axis Rotary Axis

    If the travel is from -180 to +180, why not just put one homing switch at -180?? There is nothing to say that a homing switch has to be a "0"

    Re: Tie 220v VFD into dryer line - with a switch?

    Seems dumb to me to not run a new circuit if the service panel is directly above where the router is going. You'll spend more money on a "transfer switch" than you would just buying a CB and running...
  11. Re: R8 Adapter for AXA toolpost. Has anyone tried this?

    I guess I don't see why the 3/4 boring bar holder isn't good enough. They are cheap too.

    If you really want a collet holding it then why not an off the shelf MT3 AXA holder and a MT3 3/4" collet....
  12. Re: started my cnc conversion for Precision Matthews PM-25MV Mill

    This is because my ballnut setup uses springs to force the ballnuts apart resulting in absolutely no backlash. The spring force is about 100-150 pounds driving them apart. On most double nut setups...

    Re: Buying first metal lathe

    The difference between the PM and the G0752 are:

    PM - DC motor
    PM - Direct mount chuck

    G0752 - VFD controlled 3 phase motor
    G0752 - Threaded mount chuck

    To me the VFD controlled motor is a...

    The quantization error is quite simply the difference between the idealized programmed position and reality. Nothing more. Nothing less. Every microsteps has an ideal position. For example on a 1.8...

    Re: Help understanding stepper motor behavior

    This is wrong. He has 16x microstepping which is 3200 microsteps per revolution. so, 16*200/14 = 3200/14mm = 228.5714. Exactly what he said he has it set for. I have never seen a stepper driver with...

    Re: Persuade me not to go DMM servo

    He's talking about machine accuracy not servo/stepper accuracy. They are two different things.

  21. Re: Can you take step / direction from G540 to run old analog servo motor?

    The DB9 is from the driver to the motor and will not have step and direction in those wires. It will have coil A and coil B wires for the stepper.

    The G540 consists of a mother board and 4 G250x...

    Regardless, the bolt in question is recessed in a counterbore so you can't get an angle grinder on it to make a slot anyway.

    Re: Stripped the column cap head screws on g0704

    It sounds as if the hex that the allen wrench fits into is what is stripped. If that is the case then the bolt will still be under terrific torque.
