I have this set: LINK that I won't be using anymore. They are brand new never mounted, just without a box. PM me for details.

Hoss, Have you checked out this guys vid for a CNC laser? HERE Pretty neat setup all together.

I got it from the Cornwell tools guy that comes by my buddies machine shop. I'm sure Snapon or someone like that in your area will have it. Its made by proto(stanley) and is about 40 or 50 bucks. I...

I agree with Walt. Get Gwizard! I wanted to just solve everything on my own to include speeds and feeds. Its not that I didn't have the money just thought it was an easy mathematical equation that I...

On post#-9 HERE You can see the proto spanner wrench and slight mod I did to get mine out. Yes its regular rt hand threads and I built a wrench similar as what you did with the same result of bent...

Mine was also bent like that. I ended using a setup similar to this video to straighten it.

Not a problem. Keep us posted on the projects... And keep em coming.

Happy B-Day!

Here is a LINK to my build. On post#9 2nd pic from the bottom there is a 4" cylinder compared to the factory motor in the OEM location. My feeling was that it was too large, however you could...

1.) Ray is correct on that. One end is supported with just a bearing and the shaft is allowed to slide during expansion/torque. And the other end is the one that has the thrust. On mine the thrust...

Will give that a try tonight. Thanks

Well I guess I'm digging this one up from the past. Kilroy I hope youre still around.

I've got the resolver mounting issue figured out. Just as a reminder I was hooking up a Kollmorgen servostar...

Did you see the student bundle?

I agree with Ray. I was playing around with my Kernel speeds and got nothing but headaches. I put it back to the default 25Khz and my machine runs very stable and I still get 150 ipm rapids. Just my...

Thats not what she said! :D

I've been wanting to get one of these LINK and putting it on my existing tank. You might want to check out the CFM's that you might need and this might be a good solution. GMC also has the Cyclone...

I still stick by my previous estimate = October 2012... Good luck though!

I was disappointed by QMT on my PM25V with them delaying my delivery multiple times and when it did arrive it was in...

Its not so much the coolant, as it is how you apply it. "Some" Mist systems have a tendency to "Fog" and put the coolant in the air which can cause the issues you mentioned. Mist systems like the Fog...

I used the info you gave and put them into the speeds and feeds link that Hoss sent to you. HERE and it gave me 10 IPM

Then I put the same parameters in Gwizard and got between 9 and 13 IPM (2...

Sorry,

They were recently given to a local Zoner.

Been following this tread like a hawk. I would love to do something like this for my PM25, just down sized. What do you think about those Rodless air cylinders? It looks like I could use the air...

I posted this a few weeks ago in my build log. I finished converting my PM25MV mill to CNC a few months ago and have started the process of cleaning the shop (AKA: Garage) and though if any zoners...

For Cad/Cam I ended up with Rhino3d and MadCam. Great environment and easy to learn. I am a student so I was able to get the "Educational" package from Novedge here: LINK

I apologize if my problem is not very well described. Basically I wanted to know if entering a Facemill with rounded inserts into madcam as a corner rounded Endmill would be an effective way of...

Hope this isn't too far off topic. But when you "Fix in Place" are there any provisions to level it? I would love to get one of those, but I've got the typical 2-3 degree slope for drainage in my...

I'll start off by saying I am very new at MadCam as well as Rhino3d. I have been working with Rhino for 2 years, but only about 6 months with MadCam. Anyways I wanted to see how others are entering...

Forgot to mention. Here are the OEM lead screws and nuts for all 3 axis's free to a good home. I know some of the guys got their PM25's around late August or September 2011 time that had real bad...

Well I've had the PM25 converted for a little while and have done a lot of fine tuning to it. Did my first Circle Pocket, Yay :banana:!...

I assume you've read through this thread... LINK
