I bought this 10hp baldor vfd on ebay to run a 5hp colombo spindle that I also bought on ebay. I have downloaded the operators manual for the vfd, but Im new to everything cnc and was wondering if...
Seeking advice on how to go about upgrading from a 3.25hp portercable router to a spindle with a little more power, and hopefully less noise. I am running a year 2001 warthog 4x8 that is being...
anyone doing this, if so how?
Im looking to upgrade my router motor to a spindle of some sort. I have upgraded this machines electronics from the original AH Ha controller to one built by automation technologies that uses gecko...
Are there any spindles out there with the same diameter body that would be easy to swap without making/buying new mounts?
I have this machine and the ball screw nuts are showing some wear. I have no idea where or how to get new parts or service the existing ones. Any advice is appreciated
I have discovered that my router is loosing steps due to binding in the ball screw on the x and y axis. The machine is a 4x8. Should I clean/ repack them or just buy new drop in units
I’m running uccnc on a 4x8 warthog cnc router, and I need to set up a tool sensor for router bit zero. How do I go about doing this
Looking to build a simple three motor set up, my first time. 4x8 warthog type machine. cut speeds are slow and in multiple passes. any and all info is appreciated. Sources for parts appreciated.If...
trying to dial in my stepper motors on a cnc router. I am using the g201x drives, and I have set the dipswitches for the proper amperages. I notice in the directions that there is a screw for fine...
Just hoping to get a bump on my previous post. When calibrating (4x8 cnc router) is it best to go in both directions or home then calibrate outward?
hoping to get a bump from my previous post. I noticed it was moved to this category so Im reposting here. Im having a little trouble dialing in my long (y) axis. Its been brought to my attention that...
Thanks Craig. I can run the y axis pretty fast(450-500ipm) before the motor stalls. I do notice that there are a couple of sticky spots when im jogging in the long direction, but I didnt think they...
HI im looking for advice on trouble shooting my y axis calibration. I have a year 2000 4x8 warthog style cnc router with ball screws on all axis. the y axis is belt driven on a center screw. it has a...
The Ah-Ha motor controller is set at 1600 steps per rev, or eighths. So what is the case? How do I determine my base settings. I can switch the motor controller to quarter, half and full steps as...
I have 200 step per unit motors.
drivers are set to 1600 steps per revolution
Ball Screws are as follows:
Z axis 5mm lead x 15mm diameter (direct drive)
X axis 6mm lead x 19mm diameter...
I’ve actually gone with uccnc, but that breakout board was already on the machine. I am now able to jog my x and y axis after figuring out some basic motor settings, but when I go to jog the z axis...
My router came with this breakout board. Not quite seen in the photo, it has its own power supply attached to terminals to the right of the USB port. My question is, do I still need to connect the...
So can the uc400 replace the breakout board? Seems like a lot of hopping to make it to the ah ha motor control box. Also. I’m not against replacing the Ah Ha box if there’s a reasonably priced option...

I recently purchased this machine, which originally had an AH HA controller, then was upgraded with a Mach 3 breakout board. When I purchased the machine it had no PC, so Im kinda starting from...
Thank you! I will work on setting that up this weekend
I posted a week or so ago about a used router that I bought that was missing its pc and software. im totally new to cnc. I have a new pc and am beginning the process of setting up mach 3. Because its...
I would like to think that everything would be programmed per job, or at least per section of job. Ie box parts, drawer parts, doors ect... would I be doing myself a disservice buying cut2d as...
I should also mention that I want to add a z zero sensor and some sort of pendant with E Stop...
Thanks for the input! I think for now I will stick with Mach 3 just to see if it will mate a little easier, and to see if the ah ha controller and motors even work. I have been considering v-carve...
HI I just bought a new "to me" cnc machine and need all the good advice I can get. I have attached pics. It has an ah ha controller with a mach 3 breakout board but no pc or software. my intent is to...
We are a custom shop that in comparison to many are pretty low volume. I probably spend 7 days a month cutting parts on the saw. that being said I have personally been making cabinets for about 18...
I know Im getting way ahead of myself but has anyone attached a secondary air drill to the Z axis on their machine
