I was wondering if anyone has ever built a hammer handle on a 4 axis cnc machine. If you have, would be willing to share your knowledge, gcode or whatever on the subject?:confused:
I have seen...

I was reading through the previous posts in this thread and saw where I had mentioned in a post about upgrading to a different controller and mach 4. I would like to add to that by saying I did...

on my mach 3 Under the "Engine Configuration...ports & pins" Input Signals tab mine is set to port 3, pin 1, and enabled has a green check mark for the e stop. I believe mine started working after I...

I haven't ever tried one with out a vfd but I would venture to guess that if you want to use the 0-10v output for from the controller you would need a relay that has a coil rated for the same...

Its been a while since I set up my machine but I think my problem was the having the wrong driver for windows. I did a little looking and I think, and keep in mind that is a very big I think there, I...

One more update: I got everything up and running with the smart bob/mach 4 configuration. A couple of tid-bits on mach 4 that I came across was that it lacks the function or DROs to scale an axis...

I have the exact same machine as you do. It took me a bit to get the right plugin, driver or whatever you want to call it installed in the right place and the mach three they sent with the machine,...

Yes, Enter a number in less than one and more than zero like 0.5 for example.

Not sure but the one response I did get in regards to wiring was not very expedient. Subsequent emails that I have sent I just replied to the email I got the response from.
On another note, on...

UPDATE TO UPGRADING TO SMART BOB AND MACH 4---a few days back I started on the project of swapping out the OEM motion controller with a PMDX-414 and PMDX-407 controller for the vfd/spindle. In short...

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about building a different bed and will be probably going along the lines you suggested. I did figure out and get fairly handy in short amount of time in using...

I believe the name of the company i got mine from was called honestdentalshop.
​I have no real reason for choosing this vendor other than maybe price but the machine I researched a little and...

About two months ago I decided to purchase one of the 6040 4 axis CNC Chinese routers off of Ebay, it is tan in color and has not manufacture or identifying trade marks on it. I did this mostly for...

Nice work on those. What I am wondering though is what are you using to convert the stl files to gcode for a actual 4th axis cnc or are you? I have searched and found some that will do indexing on...

I have the 6040 version of your machine that I started playing around with a week or so ago. Have the exact same card and went through the exact same trial and error with the software. I also had an...

Thank you guys for this very helpful post and sharing of knowledge. I to purchased a Chinese cnc router and it would not communicate via usb. The card I apparently have is a rnr motion and I spent...
