I am trying to find an easy way to draw a scalloped border for a wood sign similar to the attached pic.
Should I maybe draw it as a slalomed "S" line around the sign so the z axis stays constant as...

Thank you everyone. That narrows it down pretty well.Jeff

First of all, Thank you for looking.

I want to use an aquarium style pump for my air assist and would like to know how many lph or gph is enough.
I know I can use a compressor set at approx....

Looks like you have done some great mods. I also have the spotting laser. Did you wire it to the laser's electrical and if so, where did you tie it in? or did you use a separate power source? Also, I...

Hi all,
I'm new to Aspire, I've had it a while (just haven't used it much). I'm trying to create a simple fluting path using a smaller bit. I need to make a full half round flute 1 inch wide and 1/2...

I'm getting close to figuring it out. If you figure it out let me know. I move t
I just want to be able to make a template page where I can put the text in the same spot and engrave it there every...

Moshidraw 2014,
Is there a way to enter more than 1 line of text to engrave at a time?
When I click the "Text" icon and then the drawing grid, it tells me to "input text at bottom right"
There is...

I'm running Moshidraw 2014 and I'm trying to find out how to choose the engraving location. If I draw a circle for instance, in the top left corner on the drawing grid and click "Output" the laser...

I'm using Moshidraw 2014 software.
I drew a polygon 28mm wide x 26mm high.
When I output it to the laser, it engraves it 16mm wide x 15.7mm high.
So, I drew another one 38mm x 36mm and it engraves...

Do you have a new link to the corel fix for moshidraw. The one posted below is no longer there
Thanks, Jeff

I was just thiking to myself, there must be someone at CNCZone who has mastered Moshidraw. I sure would like to ask them a few questions.
I just set up my new K40 laser. Yes, I know they are cheap...

UPDATE!!
I fount the test Mariss posted about testing the motherboard and drivers separately. I have a bad motherboard I guess. I unplugged the MB and hooked up the PS and Parallel cable, powered it...

I have been having trouble with intermittent fault lights for several months. I have talked to support several times about this. They told me it was most likely the PS. I had mine tested and it came...

Any ideas on what it could be if it faults when the machine is not even moving? I'm still getting the red light when there are no motors running. Sometimes I can unplug the motors from the drive and...

I don't have an extra PC or cable to try. PC has just the basics needed for my machine, No internet etc.. Also no Home switches.

I do have the charge pump disabled in mach 3 and the switch turned off on g540. No limit switches.

Hi everyone,
I have a home built router with 381oz steppers, a 48v 7.3a PS, and a gecko 540. Everything is about a year and a half old and has been running fine till a few weeks ago. Now my gecko...

Did you find one yet? I have version 23mill with bob art, predator editor, and dongle. Jeff

Thank you everyone for the replies. I have tried to stiffen this up and cannot get it it within acceptable tolerances. I have just trashed the entire linear bearing and rod set up and replaced it...

I don't have any pics yet. Rails are 41" long unsupported. They do flex a lot easier than I had expected. Is there a way to harden them (with heat and cold water maybe) without affecting their...

I just tightened the set screws in my bearing mounts and it is much better. Now it is between a 16th and 1/8. The majority of this seems to be coming from my 3/4 rod rails on my Y axis flexing a...

Left/right is good. Up/down is sloppy. I think I have found a good bit of it in my mount. I will redo my mount and let you know where it stands. Thanks, Jeff

They are ball bushings I believe. Look like a sleeve with several rows og little balls in little tracks. Lead screw is a 1/2-10 Acme.

I have Thompson 5/8 linear bearings and 5/8 linear rails for my z axis. The bearings have a slight amount of slop in them. (all are brand new) I Just finished attaching the z axis mounting plate and...

I'm getting ready to purchase a new stepper/driver kit. My machine is a wood router with xyz of 40" x 40" x 6". Using 1/2-8-4start acme's on x and y and 1/2-10 single start on z. Gantry weight is...

Hello all, I am building my second router machine and am ready to order my lead screws and have a couple of questions first.

Here are the basics.

The machine is steel construction, Gantry...

Where is the best place to purchase a 2:1 or 3:1 pulley and belt setup? Thanks again, Jeff

The machine will be 3' x 5' or 3' x 6' with 425 oz/in motors, 3/4-6 single start acme on the 6' run, 5/8-6 on the 3' run. Keling 4030 drivers. I have a 24v PS but am thinking about changing it to a...

I am starting to build a second machine. I am thinking of 2:1 or 3:1 gearing. I am going for faster rapids on this one. Where is the best place to find gears for this purpose? What else do I need to...

Lee,
Thanks for the links. Very nice lathe and router by the way. So, does the spring just ride unattached between the nuts with a bit of compression? The U channel keeps the second nut from turning...
