I guess I should have mentioned that I know it's in the computer - although where? If the BMDC's or something else were doing something weird it could cause the computer to do this I guess. (per...

Hi, my faithful EZ Trak DX (1995) has done something weird a few times - and it's pretty scary. If left on, and with the PWR OFF, (you press "0" and it takes the power off of the Axis drives, which I...

I'm now trying to control this with an Arduino board:

Got the lasers. Started making parts. Had to get my lathe tuned up, works well now - an old Logan 820. Got a brushless servo, I have two now but I guess I have to rob one from a helicopter.

I...

I'd like to buy lasers, but there are so many cheapo chinese ones - my first batch was all junk. Maybe one for laser sights would be good - looking at this one VLM-650-01-LPA-ND from Digi-Key. $16...

yeah, servos are way easy. I worry about the life of servos maybe brushless ones are the way to go.

This is part of larger kinetic art display case, a new "Kineticon" which will be a coin-op entertainment machine. It's appropriate here as I want to use miniature stepper motors to control 2 axes. ...

I like the sound of the EMI upgrade myself, but I could help you with the hard drive thing having just been through that. Not sure what the EMI upgrade will cost, either.

1. Many other types of...

Thanks. After more research, it appears 3AT is the correct collet. eBay time.

When you say you only need the Z axis, you don't mean you only drilling, right? Which means you will be side-loading the spindle. So a drill press is out. Drill press bearings are made for axial...

I'm setting up my old Logan 820 and it has no collets. The lathe came with the closing sleeve, draw-in spindle, etc. Everything BUT collets. It looks like the end of the draw-in spindle has maybe...

[QUOTE=super-cochikui;703026]Hi everyone i have a eztrak sx but when i turn off this machine from the main power swicth on the back and i try to turn on again the machine does not start i have a...

Not sure if you want to try this, but you can replace the encoder. I did one, and it isn't too bad - you have to be careful as it's very fragile like machintek says. But if you get the set screws...

Hola, cochikui, I think maybe you have either a floppy disk drive failure or just the floppy as you guessed. The computer boots every time you start the machine and it wears out the floppy. I can...

Hello, I'm an EZ Trak owner and it may be helpful for owners to share general info.

My BP has been running well since 1996, I have done some great projects on it. I've discovered some...
