    Re: advice on which 45 clone

    How did you get on Dfed?
    What did you end up with and how is it working out for you?

    Sticky: Re: Share Your Files Part or Art

    Just a regular pattern I made for a customer as a stencil. Should be usable as it is.
    it's a Corel X17 file. I have converted it to DXF and made a PNG file for those without the software to view...
  5. Re: Calling All Veterans!! Newbie here. Can't get mill to move.

    You should be getting 4.5 to 5V for the switching to occur. The threshold to change direction is around 2.8 to 3.5 volts and the hardware may not be interpreting the signal properly. Zero volts for...

    Hi Guys,
    I haven't been on here for ages but I have 2c to play with.

    Re: Benchtop Plastic Injection Machine

    I'll be very interested in this build. I would love to make one myself.
    That particular one in the video cost $50,000. Yep!, that's what they are asking for it. A bit too much me thinks.

  13. Re: Brass for the first time on my Stepcraft

    Brass can be a real bugger to cut if you have a positive rake angle on your cutters. You need a zero rake angle to stop the cutter from digging into the metal. Are you using a spiral end mill? Try...

    Re: Chain drive plasma table

    I never did get the thing working to my satisfaction. If it was 1/2 the size then the roller chain would have been fine. It worked really well for 1/4" steel and up...

    Re: Pink Plasma but Nothing Exiting Tube

    If it isn't a RECI tube then I would assume the tube is pretty much dead. I had a tube I put in storage while I built my machine and 5 months later it was flat out cutting paper and that was a 30...
  18. Re: CO2 Laser with Leetro 6515 - Software problems

    I think in the software settings part you might find a setting that says "High" or "low". The laser will fire if this is set to "High". (probably, it's just a guess as I haven't seen your machine)...
