UC100/Mach3, laptop has a high end i7 CPU fwiw
Also, it appears to be load dependent, doesn't happen if I'm not cutting

I am having a problem where my X stepper motor fails to feed under combined X and Y motion.
I diagnosed with some 0.33" cuts in cedar. I can easily feed at 20 IPM in either X or Y, but under...
Ah, got it. Thanks!
This what I got
Where do you find Maritool's IPT recommendations? Is there good reference somewhere? I was sure the actual IPT I needed was smaller but didn't know where to find the info.
Thanks for the suggestion on Maritool/Lakeshore. I've already bought a 1/16" HTC endmill off ebay but will give those a go if it doesn't work out.
How do you calculate feed rate? The standard...
Just grabbed some higher quality 3-flute end mills.
WD-40 idea sound great, how often are you spraying? Only for the finishing pass or the whole time?
Also, am I okay to plunge, or do i need to...
My machine rapids at ~25 IMP, well below the suggested speeds for speed feed/calculation for small end mills.
My spindle can be set to 10,400 RPM. I tried some 1.5mm cutters (4-flute) at max rpm,...
Seems like a silly question, but: how to you properly stop the spindle from spinning when using a test indicator?

Or if someone...
They would secure like a regular nut, but the part couldn't be in contact, so I was wrong about "and could be used as a hold-off". Given that, maybe they aren't worth the trouble. I may look at...
If someone has made 1/4-20 t-nuts that fit taig slots, please let me know!
In case you are unaware: Taig slots are too small for standard 1/4-20 t-slot equipment.
Been thinking about some 1/4-20 hold-down solutions to compliment my 10-32 stiff, mainly for compatibility with some 1/4" accessories I have.
Toying with a few options,
T-nuts: Raised nut...
Yeah, I considered buying a 6" machinist square and clamping it on top as I bolt the corners down, but I do link the idea of a precision level much better, would have several other uses for it.
Ah, that sounds like a good approach. Focus less on enforcing top-view squareness at the corner and fashion some of the 1530 (or other members) into an long (12"?) adjustable 45deg brace and dial the...
1530 is a part number used by 8020, they are 1.5" x 3.0". All the parts I linked are for 3" extrusions.
I mentioned in my OP I was trying to decide between several brackets, including the #4338....
The 1530 is already bought and paid for (got it at %50 discount) so accessing its viability is moot at this point, lets just go on the assumption that its stiffer and straighter than what I was...
Hey guys,
Building a device which may become a Router in future, but just a modular setup table for now, and wondering about some general 8020 tips. The tabletop perimeter and some intermediate...
I called my self measuring the maximum dimension, I put the jaw across the whole surface.
Not sure if this is the right sub, please let me know if there is a more appropriate one.
Recently scored a great deal on a lot of 1530 (1.5" x 3") 8020inc extrusions. 16pcs, 48" inch long , 8...
Anyone tried this Shars 3x5 vice? The vertical dimensions are taig compatible (base clearsz rail, jaw clears z screw). Also curious if the LMC Z clamps would work on this vice (or is there some other...
Fwiw, I found out my issue was my 5v power supply. Also my #2 output terminal was bad on the C10S, so I moved X to 8/9. Guess I going to stick with my current setup for now, but G540 is still on the...
Great looking build! The main point of the Smoothstepper is to allow ethernet connection, or does it add something else?
The power spec on the G540 are a little better (40V/3A on the KL4030 vs 50V/3.5A for G250) but I have seen information on some threads that seems to indicate that there will be some...
Finally moved into a place where I can get my shop back up and running. Was able to score the Taig I built from my buddy who I sold it to about 4yrs ago, and he gave me an even better deal than I...
I have a Taig desktop mill with a kelling 3 axis kit (36V/9.7A/270 oz-in/KL-4030) i think, though not %100 sure on motor rating
Been having a strange issue:
The axis randomly stop working. Only...
