I no longer have the desire to use this machine. I thought I would once it was finished, but I am over it. Looking to sell it. I live near charlotte, NC if you are interested. Email with questions...

On cnc mill? Gears or sprockets? And what is the best way to cut each one? I have no clue, so any help would be appreciated.

that thing looks like an over grown dyson vac. Not bad.

You can't kill em. Except for the $.51 fuse inside. I bought 4 201's, killed 2 of them, now I have the 203v. At the end of the day, they don't really cost that much more.

Call gecko, they will tell you what you need ask for Mariss or Marcus.

Zip, you are correct. But in reality, I don't NEED it. I just happen to have it. Like my nearly complete set of Festool's. Like the guy that buys the ninja swords, or the guy with 1/10th of an acre...

I bought the cables from Mcmaster Carr
69355K62 & 69355K63 , and I paid way too much for them, but I put it on the company card. They are probably overkill, but then again, I don't even need this...

I am trying to bring this back to life. Since my last post, I have done the following:
1. Bought a new enclosure off of ebay 2RU
2. Bought a kelling transformer
3. Bought 201s
4. Sold 201s
5....

Greg, That is slicker than owl crap.

Any chance i hurt the motor?

This show is on discovery channel right now, and they are in a guitar factory, and they are showing a cnc band saw. I never knew one existed, it is pretty sweet.

we have cutting dies made by a vendor and they use lasers to burn in the slots in wood to fit in the cutting rule. The wood is usually no more than 1 to 1 1/2". I think it is a simple matter of...

the DRO works correctly. The step and dir signals are correct. I believe it did work correctly for a few minutes until i started messing around with the settings in mach and changed the resistor. I...

I have my 203's working on 2 axis but it does something very strange on the Z. It will ocilate (sp?) back and forth, and when press the jog button for CW it jumps a little then goes, when I jog it...

Some good opinions. If it were me, my luck some cloners in China would knock me off and have them for sale on every corner for 15% of my total material cost within 90 days. But that is just me. Nice...

I have a small router in my garage, and a X3 in progress. I have a 66x110 CNC sample table that we use to cut out prototype designs.

corrugated. Yes, go cocks. But not until next year.

about 3 mil in equity. Our effective rate is 7.65%. This is the same rate that the bank was going to give us with a 15% cap infusion.

I am running a few kelling steppers 3 201A's and a candcnc breakout board. I am getting my 5v from the board, the motors lock up, but don't move when I jog. The wierd thing is i can get a motor to...

the first thing they look at is your ratios. first your debt to equity, then 'current ratio' that is the ratio of your current assets to your current liabilites. Anything less that 1.15 and you...

I will be moving mine tonight. I have the fusion kit fully installed, steppers wired up, and still finishing up the control box. I have cnc4pc card and step dir board. I bought a 78v psu from...

round column is not the best for CNC.

Getting the AL Plate at a good price is pretty much luck. I found a good bit of stock on ebay. It was fall off from some shop. I will have to dig up the pictures of my router. I have it in pieces...

i built a "hybrid" router out of 6061 3/8 plate and 80/20. It was cheaper to use the al as the end plates. Bore holes through and tap the center cavity of the 80/20 with a 5/16. You can also use AL...

you will not get as much out of the 425 oz xylotex kit, low end torque, but not when you go fast. I was disappointed. Now I am going with geckos, 70v 10a power supply, and the CandCnC boards.

23 is fairly small, up to 495 oz, 1/4 or 3/8" shaft usually. 34 is of course bigger, 1/2 shaft typically

I think I was fighting 2 issues. The xyotex drive was never working properly to begin with, and i did not have ballscrews.

I am going with the CNC fusion ballscrews, and G201 geckos.

Ger,
Now that i have your attention, may I ask a few questions. I am running the following:
X3 CNC Fusion Ballscrew kit
x & y axis - 495oz steppers series wired 3.6v 3.0a
Z - 640oz 4.5v...

Are the G203 geckos worth the extra money? Should I go up to the 210 or 212? Can you adjust the steps on geckos? 1/4, 1/2, etc.?

i was tooling around with it today, and now i get nothing out of the board. It doesn't lock up the motors when I turn on the power. The light on the board still comes on, but nothing works. I guess i...
