Thanks, but that would take the fun out of it he he he

Plus, I'm also looking at another, more powerful outrunner motor and my spindle will have adjustable run out... if this doesn't work then...

Ok, so it would be fine for me, great!

I think it's better if I seek for some help if I decide to build the DIY controller :D.

I really appreciate your help, thank very, very much.

So I see we have a similar application with aluminum.
I have heard about the governor mode not working very well, my guess is that the load varies a lot more drastically in milling than in...

So, I've been thinking in this idea for a while, but haven't found many up to date, down to earth discussions on the subject, so though I'd ask here. Hope this is the correct forum category :D.

Thanks! I think this pretty much answer what I needed to know. I guess the controlled stop will depends on the acceleration setting to avoid losing machine position, but that's alright. I just wanted...

Yes, that's what I meant ;)

But also, maybe I used a bad example with the MDI thing.

Sometimes I have to hold pieces with not much working area, so I usually set my X and Y zeros and run my...

Thanks Jon.N.CNC, but what about the "issue" I mentioned?:


I read about it on some forum which I can't find now but would like to hear an answer before deciding. Above is an example, it could be...

I tried posting in a new thread but can't find it now for some reason, I'm having OS problems right now and it may have to do with it.

Anyway, I'd like to now how the UC100/300 handle the pause,...

Hi,

Thanks! What I actually find are a number of Asus models with that description, just wanted to be sure, but if in fact the software is not too demanding I guess any will work. Thanks also for...

Hi Beernuts,



Could you tell the exact model of the tablet you used? Did you have any issues to install/run the whole setup?

Thanks,

Alfredo

Thanks Steve and Roger, sad to hear that :(

-Samco: My question was off topic but I'd like to answer your question, UC100 and others are available to control CNC machines through USB, they are not...

Hi Steve, just out of curiosity, did you manage to do this?



This is out of topic but I came across your comment and though I may ask ;)

I'm looking at USB controllers at the moment, but...

Hi,

I was about to decide on buying a Bosch 1617 EVS to replace my old Ridgid 2401 router on my CNC, I had seen videos and comments on how low the run out was on the 1617
EVS (sometimes not even...

Thanks Andrew, did some search on ebay and you are right, Foredom handpiece does show results for this. There seems to be a model (No 44) which uses collets, up to 1/4, but I wasn't able to find any...

Hi, anybody knows the model/type/name of the spindle shown in the picture? I found them on Ebay once, but can't remember how I did it, I already tried searching for spindle, chuck, etc but no...

Hi, thanks for your answer.

Yeah, sorry, my mistake,I forgot to mention that this happens in Windows XP, I tried it yesterday in my Ubuntu Lucid install and it works as expected, so I will...

Hi, I'm trying the trial version of the new HeeksCAD (v1.0), which, IMHO seems GREAT so far, however, my only down side is that since my computer is in Spanish, the GUI is set to Spanish as default...

Thanks for the replies.
Tested and the motor stalls even when cutting on "air", so I don't think it's more torque what I need.

However, it's interesting what fordav11 says about feeds and rpm...

Hi, I'm in the process or improving my DIY MDF CNC machine by adding bearing supports to the leadscrews on all axis. I have been able to run code for 22, 7, 6 and 5mm diameter holes, however, when I...

Thanks for your help.

So once they wear out and loosen, there's no way of tightening them up again. However, I have seen they last for a very very long time. I have even seen some rated for "5...

Yeah, super old post! I think I got confused, I was looking at like 8 threads at the same time!!

Sorry for the confusion.

I also confused the numbers: I meant I have number 3s, the ones with...

***EDIT: SEE POST NUMBER FIVE; AS I GOT CONFUSED WITH THE NUMBERS IN THIS ONE***

This post is really old but I will try to refresh it with my question:
I have #2 (I meant #3) on my newly built...

How has the router been running with that speed control? Any issues so far? I have the same exact control which I bought sometime ago and was planning on buying that same porter cable router, I...

Did some fine tuning and finally got to run the machine at 34mm/s ( around 80ipm) and 100mm/s acceleration, and that's with 1/4-20 screws!!! Mechanically I believe it could go a bit faster but the...

Ok, I now there are some threads about this topic around but most are too old, so I decided to start a new so it gets to be seen easily.
This is a common topic around and as I did some research, I...

I did the xorg.conf modify and latency went down to 16000 even when opening firefox, playing music, installing programs and copying files.

But now I can't run glxgears, I get the following error...

Yes, I used the live cd with linuxcnc, ubuntu was already installed so we though that something to do with it, so my cousin formatted the computer and tried again as a fresh install and still gets...

Hi, thanks for the answers, I had read the install info about editing the xorg.conf file, but I misunderstood it (due to frustration, I guess), even if it's a far shot, I would like to try it before...

Took some time, but finally got things working, but now I run the latency test and get s****y results, max jitter goes up to 450000 just by opening firefox, 230000 just opening the terminal to run...

Thanks, installing from the live CD did the trick. I'm running the test now.
