I have no idea where that would be

You know, I checked that, and I didn’t think about it till you said something....it wouldn’t let me select between increment, continuous, and mpg on the jog mode......none were lit up

Hey all, I don’t know if I can quiet explain this, but here goes. My pendant hotkeys for the x,y,and z are not working. The pendant is working properly, and you can program it to the hotkeys screen,...

I have finally managed to get the time to get my z axis ballsrew attached to my lathe. Now I need some input on attaching the nut to the carrage. I can fab a bracket to bolt up to the nut, but it...

When the machine is running the code, it goes from G2 on one line, to G1 on the next, it will almost tripple the programmed feed rate. It will only do this after the G2 line, and only if the next...

didn't think that would take to long......yep, it's yours if you want it

hey everyone I have a c6 version 4 variable speed controller board from cnc4pc for anyone that wants it. used approximatly 1 hour only to find out that my VFD did not like the 1 relay board, so I had...

got it hooked up to the machine, next controlled by mach3

I opened up the motor and there is 2 sets of U, V, and W wires. Which set is 1, and which set is 2, and do I hook up one set, and leave the other set open? that's what I am getting from the motor...

Hello, I am trying to hook up a Hitachi SJ200 VFD to my 3 phase motor, but there is 2 different wiring diagrams for it, a 2 pole, and a 4 pole the 2 pole is rated at 3400 RPM, and the 4 pole is rated...

hey guys, if you are going to drive the knee.....go ahead and replace the two set screws on the pinion, you can pick them up from ACE hardware for next to nothing, and it will save you a headache...

I have a 60 gallon air compressor that I was using for the source. when I put 15 psi on the cylinders with my regulator, it wasn't blowing off till the cylinders reached 75 psi.....that is enough to...

yes I mean air cylinder. I actually have 2... 4"X24" throw cylinders that I thought about using, but could not figure out how to regulate the pressure as the cylinder was being compressed. These are...

I used my acme screws for years till I couldn't adjust the nuts any tighter, and the backlash got to big to really machine with, so I went ahead and installed ball screws and a HD yoke from...

I actually just put in ball screws in my Enco....I don't have the glass scales, but can you just remove them from the machine? If so I would really suggest that. I didn't take off my home or limit...

well apparantly, someone got to it before I did, I got a call saturday saying that it was sold......well, on with the search I know I want a HAAS VF4, just one to get in town, and at a reasonable...

hey everyone, I'm looking at possibly buying a used Haas VF4SS what do I need to be looking for on this machine? were does it break at, wear spots etc...I have only seen pics of it, but I will let...

Hello all, I am finishing up a BP 10X54 table conversion and I have 4 relays to power accessories, I already have 1 for flood coolant, and 1 for mist coolant, and cannot figure out what I can use the...

ok, I don't know anything about modbus, or pokeys, and 4 inputs shouldn't be a problem, I would just like to make sure that it will work before spending $200 on it. I will still have a jog pendant,...

Ok, I didn't really know where to put this one, so I picked a forum that has alot of viewers. I am in the process of converting an old manual lathe to CNC. I was thinking that I could drop the...

look up Mach 1 quick change tool, they have a spring loaded system,and they have a spring rate of 600lbs....if I remember correctly

I added 4 cylinders that gave 520lbs of force, and there is still some resistance, but it has helped a HUGE amount, even cranking by hand isn't a chore anymore. I can now jog the table up and down at...

Does anyone know the approximate weight of the knee on a 10x54 table floor mill? I am wanting to add some helper cylinders, but do not want to go overboard.

I also work in aircraft, and Catia is the Cad-Cam program that is used industry wide. since that is the program that I know, I figured why try to learn something else like Bob-Cad, or Master Cam....

ok, I really has no idea where I should have put this post, so here it goes.... I am using Catia V5 for my cad-cam software, it has several post processors already built in that I finally figured out...

ok, after doing some digging on the internet, and playing around with Catia, i have figured out how to get Gcode out of Catia, now......the question of the day is: which machine Post Processor would...

Hey everyone, I have heard that Catia V5 has some post Processors in it, but I can't seem to figure out how to set it up, or even if it really has one in it. I am able to get the APT code out, but no...

I am looking to convert my mill to a VFD, I have looked at the Hitachi VFD's , but was wondering what everyone's thought as to which one they would suggest. I have a 3HP motor that I'm currently...

Well, you would need to adjust the pressure for different weights (obviously you aren't going to machine the same thing for the rest of your life) but what if you still used the same reg, but made...

Protman16,
I have my pneumatic cylinders already, and was thinking about using a self bleeding regulator, I was just wondering what you used to bleed off the pressure? It seemed like yours bled off...
