Hello,

Could someone check out the attached project file and let me know what I'm doing wrong. It does not seems right when running the simulation, like when it engage the end mill. Ignore the...

Final update on this long issue.

We replaced the spindle drive with a known good one and it works fine now. So in short, first drive is bad and so is second one. So now we just need to fix the...

Seller replaced drive, but didn't transfer parameters from old drive to new one so when an M03 command is executed, nothing happens. Anyway, after transferring parameters from old drive to new one by...

Hi all,

Since my 1100 is not accurate enough, I plan to use the 4th axis to do all the finishing passes. Basically, it will just be using Z, X, and A. How do you calculate feed rate when using the...

Never mind about the pressure gauge. It's for the spindle pin lock - bad gauge, but pin still works fine.

Rental compressor plus one california compressor still could only provide a continuous pressure of 60psi, but I also waited for the pressure to get to 120psi to turn it on and tried when the pressure...

Yes, the RPM does show up on the screen when I spin the spindle by hand. I'm going to rent a 4.3cfm @ 90psi compressor from homedepot and try again. Hopefully it plus the small california air...

If I press "free" under spindle, it releases the brake then I can turn it by hand. I can also turn it by hand if I press Jog under spindle. Basically when I press Jog, it releases the spindle brake,...

Thank you. This saves me from trying to adjust the gibs and preload bearings to perfection as my mill is probably already as good as can be. I get from 80-90um of runout with a 6" circle so I guess...

Thanks.

That is basically how I also leveled my machine. With a precision bubble level that is accurate to .0005" over 10" and with it placing in the back table, I could move the table all the...

Hi all,

What kind of accuracy in term of roundness can one expect from the 1100? We make custom motor/generator that spin at 6000+ rpm and needs to hold about .001-.0015". When cutting round parts...

Received collet today, but still getting same error. The only thing that might prevent the spindle from working is the air pressure as the compressor I'm using can only provide 25psi of pressure with...

Spoke to seller and seller said it needs to be run with a collet in and I have been trying without a collet as I don't have any 16C collet available. I really hope it's that simple. I'm having a...

I have no idea. Like I explained in the first post, I bought the machined used and it was wired to run on 460V so I'm assuming that if you change the input voltage and keep everything else the same,...

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but I have 208V 3 phase power going into the primary side of the transformer - 208R/S/T

We just bought a 1990 CHNC I with GE Fanuc OT-B control. It was originally wired to run on 460V so I rewired it for 208V, since that is what we have. Also connected to the same input were three wires...

Thanks mountaindew. So the trick is to reference the origin with the table tilted horizontally and not vertically like the way I did?

Attached is the part I was trying to make in step format for...

I thought I attached the project file to the original msg, but I don't see it anywhere. Anyway, attached is the part I was trying to make in case you guys want to see what it looks like.

No, not yet as I already made one before posting this. The fan slots for this part do not need to be exact to the model so I just referenced x manually until it cut close to the model. I posted the...

If you set the origin with the table tilted, wouldn't it be very difficult to find the exact center of a part? It would also be difficult to get Z to be exact too.

CadRhino, I upgraded from 10 to...

Hi,

I'm trying to machine a part which requires that the table be tilted at 45 degree angle, but I can't figure out how to reference X and maybe Z axis correctly. The part has been programmed with...

Oh, I didn't know there is no 100 series. The craigslist ad I was looking at listed it as 2000 Multicam MG 100 Series so I assumed it's a 100 series.


Do you know of any new router in the 25k...

We don't have either machine. We just want to know if the MG 100 can cut aluminum as we are looking into buying it used.

Thank you

We mostly will be cutting 6061. So the MG 100 should be able to cut aluminum?

Thank you

Hello, all.

We are looking to buy a router for cutting aluminum. Our budget is around 25K. We just need something that can cut at something like 50 or 100 thousandths of an inch without breaking...

If the tach displays weird number or 0, it probably is not getting enough power. Check the voltage and if it's too low, replace the 5v regulator - the component that looks like a transistor next to...

$900 mostly is the cost of the mounting kit - the ballscrews kit cost around $200. I bought the same kit from them last year and saw the same dents/scratches on the screws. Like yours, the dents were...

Thank you, Hoss. Yes, I did the little belt drive. I will take a look at the switch and see if I can figure it out.

Hi all,

I just converted my G0704 drive to timing belt and now the spindle run in reverse. To correct this, do I simply switch the motor wires on the motor controller or is there an easier way...
