    Re: Need Software for MaxNC 15 Closed Loop Mill

    Yep, that looks like the easiest solution, the demo Mach 3. I do have a pile of old PC to run DOS on though, that I would give with the mill...LOL. Thanks!

    I'd guess 300 IPM would be fast when cutting. Whe I look at the MaxNC I can't imagine the ways lasting long at that speed. I was thinking of using linear bearings for everything. Cutting foam means I...

    Are the motor pulleys pressed in place?

    Maybe this seems like a simple question. When I bought my 1720 Gold used and in pieces, my mill motor was off of the machine and the pulley was just sort of stuck on part way. No key in place. I...

    Okay, now it makes sense. Thanks for the pics and the explanations! I have always thought you needed two switches one at each end, you have one switch with a ramp at each end. Might be a lot simpler....

    What type of oil to use

    I need to get my lead screws and ways cleaned up and lubricated since this machine has been sitting for a long time. What type of oil do you use? Same stuff for the ways and oil cups? Lead screws?

  14. Capacity is my concern

    Sharpshooter,

    When looking at the longer actuators I was wondering how well they would hold up. I used to have a satellite dish with one on it and it didn't have to work very hard. I may just get...
  15. More Frankenlift

    Another clue regarding whether the lift is home built. My tubes are 26" long so I can get 18" of potential travel. I don't know why I would ever need to raise the head that far and how stable it...

    Is that a stock quadralift?

    Aside from your mods, is that a stock quadralift? It looks different than mine in some ways. I'm sure I can rig up the twin lead screws, I just want to do it as painless as possible without takign...
