None taking, but would you believe that google brought me here?

Not to be sarcastic, if google was my friend I wouldn't be asking here.

Hey all,

Anybody have experience or tips on how to setup limit switches in Mach 4? Documentation is horrible, YouTube videos are scarce.

I would skip Mach3 and to straight to Mach4. In both software you calibrate the travel. Example you can tell it to travel 10" and after it's done traveling you measure the distance it actually...

What controller software are you running?

I had a similar issue. To fix issue i lowered the trave/jogl speed.

Fusion 360 can output .still files.

Got me some Metric collets from Maritools.

I see you have a load or line reactor? Nice setup.

As much I like dealing with George, I don't think he will give up a list. I tried asking him for one so I can replace parts like bearings or stepper motor couplers. Last request to him was for t...

Ah I see now. Thanks Citizen!

Is it OK to use Metric collets with standard sized end mills?

I was thinking g or getting a set of collets from Maritools.

How about collets? Should I get a set or just a few common sizes?

Hi Gerry, I am looking to do wood, aluminum other soft metals. maybe steel.

A 3" diameter tool sounds big.

Thanks for the advice.

So fly cutters are out of the question?
Any idea what is the max size tool I can use?
Are we talking about the" and under tools?

Your assumption is spot on. I have a 2.0KW tekno motor spindle running off a lenze smvector 2.4KW VFD.

Once again thanks. I guess I looking to run before I learned how the machine ran.
Just one thing how did you determine that my spindle can run as low as 8000? Info on these things can be limited.

Hi Mcardoso, it looks like my spindle base rpm is 18000 and Max is 24000.
Should I be looking for endmills that rated for those rpms?
Also is there a kit of endmills you can recommend?

Just like the title says, looking to get a set of endmills to start milling soft metals and wood.

Sorry Richard for replying late. I will have answer for you later today.

I'm from New Jersey. How about you?

Unfortunately George suffered through a medical crisis and is recovering.
I to went through some trouble piecing my raptor together. I finally got most of it assembled and wired (with lots of help...

Lucky I got a UC100. Thanks for the clarification.

I am glad i found this thread! Time to upgrade! Thanks everyone, and Happy New Year!

I understand 32bit software can run on a 64bit system but when the developer is adamant about it not working on a 64bit system

This is from their website:

Mach3 Minimum Recommended...

I thought mach3 is only 32bit.

I didn't realize you answered this George. Hope you are getting better. Hope you can get back to full time running xzero.

Hi all,

Just an update. I used the recommended setting for My VFD and Motor. And everything looks good. Motor is moving nothing on fire (Yet). I just have an issue with setting up the...
