Lan,

The only schematics I have is for the stepper motors. It seems that the ones used on the PC Mill 30 were made in France and I found the manufacturer who was kind enough to send schematics for...

Lan,
the PC Mill 30 has all of the electronics mounted in the base of the machine and it connects to the computer via a DB9 serial cable. The computer tells the mill to move 1" +x and the...

Wow! You are going back quite a few years. I believe what you are referring to is an EISA slot which means Extended-ISA. The shorter slot is just an ISA slot, but, as best as I can remember the two...

You ROCK!! That looks great and your skills are far beyond mine.

I have a PC Mill 30 and while it can cut aluminum albeit slowly, it could never cut steel. These small machines were meant for teaching the mechanics of CNC machining. For steel you would want a much...

5 axis machining... that absolutely ROCKS!

Hey Taz,

I was just about to buy a tig welder. Would you give me a price on item #91811-8VGA? In January it was $200, last week it was $269 and now it is $289. Prices are going up like a rocket....

Hi Joe,
It seems that I can no longer access your site. Has it moved? Would you please check my registration when you get a moment.

Many Thanks,

I got my membrane keyboard from ebay for $5.

Excellent product.

Excellent product.

Excellent idea especially for wide gantrys where racking is a problem.

Well they sure look nice. I don't see how you could go wrong with these.

Excellent build journal and lots of pics. It looks like you were making pretty good time there. Looking forward to seeing a finished product and maybe a set of plans so the rest of us can build one...

Thanks for the link. I think something could definitely come from that. I had never considered making a CNC sawmill. This was a GREAT idea.

Looking forward to more of your videos.

Excellent build at an affordable price. You have done a great job. Now I'm jealous.

Oh Man!!! That is so cool. You are an absolute genius. Congrats on such a fantastic machine. I would love to make something like that to handle 10' logs.

So the shielded cable did the trick. Nice to see it move, but, for the life of me I don't know why you only get problems in one direction. I wouldn't think it is mechanical since you can not...

Hi Mactec,

Thanks for the heads up for Manus.biz I will check with them to see about the possibilities of upgrading the machines I have.

Try rayzist.com They specialize in glass etching supplies although it is usually done with a sandblaster. Lasers can etch an image onto glass but can not get the image deep enough to fill with...

It would take a considerable amount of time to give you all the info you are asking for. I would suggest you get a cup of coffee, sit down, and spend a couple of hours searching the board for those...

I just bought four of the HSF from http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=ACC10812 for only $5 ea. They are a good large size that seem perfect for the Geckos.

OK, after watching those videos I am sooooooo jealous and really want a laser now.

austin,
What is the name of the software you are using to drive the laser?

Are those Gecko Vipers I see there? Very nice attention to detail. This is a beautiful build.

Everyone else that has posted about these lasers, even the ones from Frank, have complained loudly about the software. How easy is yours to use? Can you engrave and then cut the part out without...

HayreAss,
What is the minimum purchase necessary to get the free shipping with that code?

This place http://www.psdcdies.com/ makes cutting dies to be used in a hydraulic or a mechanical press. I use these dies and a hydraulic cutting press (which is called a "clicker") and my machine...

As nice of a monitor arm as that is, that was a considerable effort to get there. One hell of a nice job.

Use the node tool (F10) and select the rectangle. The corners will turn into black spots. Grab a spot then click and drag down to change the roundness of the corners.

Well... I've been using CorelDRAW since v2 so all I need now is a router. I'm collecting parts for Joe's Hybrid 4x4 so I will get to try out your software in the next couple of months. It is good to...
