I read a recommendation that switching to a "bearing collet nut" would eliminate the worry of over- or under-tightening the standard nut.
I've found some manufactuers, but no discussion of how it...
"Baloney" Alert:
NO, IT ISN'T.[1] Electrically, it's the same thing as a lump of metal with no moving parts. The spring and plunger are NOT in there to make-or-break an electrical connection,...
SOLVED. Short answer: It is NOT a "switch"--of any kind. It is the electrical equivalent of a lump of metal, connected to electrical ground.
While it does have "moving parts," they have everything...
Incidentally, I just realized it would be wiser to set the variable #<ZMAXDOWN> to something LESS than the full-travel of the height-setter's plunger.
For example, supposing the plunger's travel...
These were all the rage a few years ago when this one was shipped with my machine. Now they're not showing up as ubiquitously in searches.
I've used mine less than a hundred times, but it has...
I created this for LinuxCNC with my Chinese CNC, which came with a "Z height setter" and a cable connection for it. The tool is spring-loaded, normally closed (NC), "knife" switch with its two wires...
I'm researching PathPilot at the moment. I've "discovered" :^) that:
* holding down [Left-Shift]+[Left-Alt] as PathPilot is coming up, takes you to the default user's Desktop

Sorry for being 4 years late, but cnc4free.org is up today in 2017.
I'm wondering how mature this is for doing human faces. Has anyone been using it to make carvings of walk-in clients?

Thank you, Gerry, for doing my homework for me. Again. I had actually searched amazon and ebay (and the rest of the web :^) ) extensively, and even run across these very Powermatic bags, but I...
My Harbor Freight 2hp Dust Collector "manual" advises to "replace the lower dust collection bag if it becomes torn" but--of course--they/it are/is no help sourcing the bag to do so.

I imported a CNC machine from Red China and discovered the normal way to pay is a bank transfer: 1/2 down, 1/2 on shipping. As you would expect, it's hard to get info on the reality of the firm's...
This is just an FYI for someone finding themselves in my situation: having a Windows-only machine with a gameport interface and wanting LinuxCNC and a parallel-port interface.
The 3-1/2-axis[1]...
I'm not a motor engineer, but I do know a thing or two about GIMP (the image processor), so rotated the image so I can read it. :^)
I am also something of a simpleton, so it looks simple to me.

Oh!
I do not intend to give the impression that I have not been perfectly satisfied in all respects heretonow. Nor that Indians are superior to any other ethnicity in terms of superiority. I feel...
Yes!
Here's just one. Uttam
And I am not surprised in the least. When I was in graduate school, lo, some decades ago, every Indian student I knew was well ahead of me...

I recently had an idea that, maybe, I could help the world economy by spreading some USD around to other Asian countries. (Gee, for ma's sake, I hope India is in Asia...)
I know they make carbide...
Okay. Back. Two PCI parallel port cards arrived this morning, so I worked until 11 pm getting one to talk voltages to a breakout board, and I'm back to where I was before Groundhog Day.
Things I...
"There! I fixed it!!"
Lucky for her--but sad for me as you shall see--I spied a box of surplus wall plugs first. I found a 12Vdc/500mA which measured 20Vdc. I was unable to find out what current...
Thanks, Mac!
I stepped away to dig through a pile of surplus and found (hoo! ray!) a 6-24Vdc power-supply board I rescued from a dumpster!
At the moment I plugged it in, I had a sudden flash...
On deeplier perusal,
* I found that lines suggested in http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/examples/spindle.html#_pwm_spindle_speed
mostly matched what was already in my own, post-stepconf, .hal...
[obligatory note: I tried searching for PWM. "No hits." (really?)]
LinuxCNC v2.7, ubu 12.04LTS, generic 25-pin breakout board
I have a new Chinese CNC: 3-axis+rotary add-on. It came with a...
I'm facing a similar beast, only mine has one more fang... it came with a 15-pin interface, and I had to go out and buy one of those boards, and now have to, shudder, transfer wiring from one board...
Don't ever bring your head out of the sand: you'll only be disappointed by the reality.
[Stupid double post because of stupid slow network.]
Be that howsoever it may,
I'd still like a response to my question about the pinouts of real hardware.
Right now I, as I presume are others, am basing consideration of a future purchase from...
Hi, Ms. Mary,
Sorry I'm late replying. (I was busy out back.)
I recently took delivery on a 1212 machine which came equipped with a Weihong PCIMC-3D interface card, featuring a 15-pin output...
On the basis of a current extensive search, I conclude:
* only 32-bit versions of Windows (Win 7, 8, etc. bear testing; 64-bit versions don't bother to test)
* 64-bit Windows 7 does not even detect...
Wow. No replies... It could have been that you caught the 'zone on a day that everyone else took off.
But it could be that you don't have enough pictures. For example it would be very helpful to...
@fcdc
Can you estimate the final, all-told, total of the extra costs (i.e., excluding the cost of the machine)(and extra laser tubes :^( ) of being your own importer?
Did you use a customs...
