    Re: XZero CNC

    Any idea what size and pitch ballscrews you're looking for? I have one under a bench in my shop. It was the wrong one for my raptor, but maybe it's the right one for yours.

    I have a fully functioning, 60x40 raptor that I may be willing to part ways with. Would include the steel stand, computer, Teknomotor spindle, and all the tooling that I currently have. Great...

    Yes, sir.
  4. Re: Can I continue pocketing, (final pass) without all the air cutting?

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll be trying to some of them out in the morning. I played around with the model a little bit tonight, and set it up with a roughing pass, and then z level finish...
  5. Re: Can I continue pocketing, (final pass) without all the air cutting?

    Here you go. I had to zip them up to attach them. Also, there is two files, but they are both the same model. Just different actions in each, as I wanted to make sure that I could post process...
  6. Re: Can I continue pocketing, (final pass) without all the air cutting?

    The model is at the other office, but I may be able to get it sent to me. I'll upload it as soon as I have it. Really appreciate the help.

  7. Re: Can I continue pocketing, (final pass) without all the air cutting?

    No. I was simply using what I knew would work, which was the "pocketing" under 3 axis profiling and pocketing. I didn't want to venture too far out into something that I didn't quite understand. ...
  8. Can I continue pocketing, (final pass) without all the air cutting?

    I'm new to MadCAM and CNC in general, so go easy on me. I'm working on cutting a pocket for some inlay work, and am doing two passes to complete the work. One with a .125" endmill, and the final...

    Re: Drilling speeds and feeds for 6063

    So that is from the feed rate being too slow? I was at 4586 rpm and 41.27 in/min I believe, when I made that cut. I tried halfing that feed and the molten lava pieces were twice as long.. Do I...

    Well, I thought that everything was working great. The test cuts in my 6061 aluminum test piece were working out great. Tonight, I changed to the real work piece that I'll be using and started the...

    The stub drill worked great with the standard speeds and feeds. I am trying to countersink with a 1/2" drill mill now though, and the same thing as the other drill mill. It really seems like...

    Ok, I tried just about everything that I could imagine, except using a coolant. I'm not quite setup for that yet, so I want to avoid the mess if at all possible. I tried using a peck every .125"...

  21. Re: Econo-Probe Setup with Mach3 + Ger's 2010 Screenset

    The only power that the econo-probe is getting is the 12vdc from the input terminals. I would guess that the commons are the same since the inputs are powered by the controller (MX3660)?

    I guess that makes sense, since you would be breaking the shielding to have the connectors, defeating the purpose of having the shielding to begin with..

    Just got this from Antek. You were right about the unregulated power on the 48V and the regulated on the 5v. I'm still confused on the use of the + and C instead of + and - though.
