Thanks for the link Jim. They seem very reasonable cost wise. That's a plus since this machine has been retired to hobby use

I cant find the specs for the original Brushed DC motors nor do I have all the elements required to create an accurate motion profile. I have come across second hand info that states the motors are...

if tig welded, the fit of the parts to be welded will have to be perfect, it will be best to blow argon on the backside of the weld and using copper or aluminum clamped firmly, wherever possible, to...

a tig, without a doubt. requires more skill but unmatched control and versatility.

we figured out how to tig weld sinks made from copper sheetmetal years ago. I dont remember the grade but I want to say it was "oxygen bearing"
anyway, shearing 1/16-3/32" strips from the same...

I would check the voltage for each of the 3 legs (3 phase). they have to be within a certain range. I think the manual tells you the range. are you using a phase coverter by chance?

Hey Dustin, not sure if it shows revs in diag but I will check tommorrow (saturday) I know it shows it in "current commands". to DNC hit MDI twice then its ready to receive. definetly a requirment...

I have a '92 VF-2 with RT. If I have an answer I will share it. Which usb converter did you get. The radioshack one I have (giga something or other?) wont load anything other than a small program and...

I tried that but no luck. I did get it to come back by drawing an arc. copied the work and created a new file hoping it wont happen again. did it twice in the old file.

in the lower right hand corner where it gives cursor position it reads
X=1.QNB Y=1.QNB Z=1.QNB but no visible entities. If I do an "entities summary" it shows that there is something (lines, arcs,...

thanks guys. I didnt get the job which im sure is for the best because I had this feeling the things would potato chip on me. I have done plenty of fabrication w/ 304 and it doesnt like to have...

I need to machine some 304ss plate with a 3/8 end mill on my Haas VF-2 with fairly tight tolerances like .001 flateness and parallell on .15" thk 3x3 squares. Pocketing and profiling (no plunging). I...

yah. add "x" to the run time. Instead spend "xx" trying to figure out a better way. Thats management for ya. I guess you could stamp it in a second op with a special tool

I cant remember the name of it but I use it to engrave. Its a .125" dia carbide blank ground to a point with 1/2 the diameter ground away. essentialy a single flute. Msc carries them. you could...

not to mention metal props are forbiden under AMA Rules

nice job man. my kinda pitch range too- +-15. alota "pop" if you can pull it

I have cut several 6mm Depron foamies out on my Haas VMC using a .050" drill bit (friction cut,more clog prone) or a .125 sintered carbide burr (from hobby shop)spinning at 7500. have to play w/ the...

I agree w/ Carveone. If you were going to scale the prop to the plane it would be huge by comparison to a typical prop for a 100" plane. my 102" 33% Edge spins a 28" prop at 6500. Just guessing but...

1- I have a older VF-2 (1992) with a 9 pin serial port (and a larger port too, I think) but my new computer has only a USB for communication. Looks like an adapter is all that is needed. Do I need a...
