Is there a Taig non mini lathe CAD floating around somewhere? I can't find it anywhere.

Is there a Taig non mini lathe CAD floating around somewhere? I can't find it anywhere.
Hi, I'm looking for information about using Ball Nose End Mills for wood and there's really not a lot of info out there about feeds and speeds and depths of cuts. Or perhaps I'm looking in the wrong...
Hi,
Just wondering, what are some products I can get for rust prevention of my ER collets and my Holders/Nuts?
Deleted.
Spent some more time on this... yep, lots of factors for SFM, and the worst part is that most places you look have different recommended values!
Another question.
So I was playing around with a...
Looks like I was looking at a different version.
Over the last couple of days, I realized I was making many errors inputting values into the calculator. Little wonder my results seemed wierd.
What is FRO slider? I don't see it in any of the screenshots.
I see thanks. I want aware of this issue and have been using the feature all the time. I guess it's time to stop doing this and start...
I'm reading there's different grades of carbide. I have never seen anyone advertise what sort is used. When does this become a factor? I'm thinking it probably only matters when dealing with high...
Is there any specific reason why federate controls were not included in Gerry's Mach 3 Aqua screen set? I saw a post in this thread that alluded to the fact Mach 3 can run rough with high overdrive...
Merci Beaucoup. Interesting that aluminium is always listed with such high SFM given that it's pretty gummy.
I just learned about finishing passes today, never used them before. Makes sense.
Did I figure this out or did I overlook something? Different materials have different SFM because of how much heat they generate? Basically the tougher the material, the more heat, the slower you...
I've trialed the cnc cookbooks f and s calculator and I found the deapth of cut to be too little. What's everyone's take on the quality of Bob's calculations?
If my endmill has say a 0.5" flute and I'm cutting 0.1" depth of cut per pass, is it ok to go as deep as say 1" since the top half is already cut?
I'm looking for carbide endmill suppliers, finding it really hard to find one. The one I'm currently using is giving me a headache but they are the only ones I have found who make small endmills. I'm...
Hi,
My G540 starts up in red 'Fault' mode.
I have to press the e-stop and then release it for it to go into the green 'Power' mode. I need to do this only once.
I initially had a cheap...
Can't do advanced edit for some reason, so I'll post my edit to the post above here.
I searched the forum for discussions on this issue but couldn't find any talk about MPG selection. Which is...
What should I be looking for when selecting an MPG dongle? I'm using a Gecko G540 and Mach 3.
I found 4 so far:

Yep gocha. I just like Bob's way of putting it "A CAD File, CAM File, G-Code File, and a Setup Sheet might be all we need to fully document a program if there’s enough meat captured by the Setup...
I see, thanks Gerry.
I think I get it now. A gcode header basically points to the correct setup sheet.
I actually read another article on cnccookbooks that confused me:
...
I posted this in business practices, but didn't get any responses, hopefully this section has more traffic and I get more luck.
Simple question, what is the difference between a setup sheet and a...
I knew someone was going to say that.
Ah I think I see, makes sense.
Hi,
I purchased my first test indicator and was wondering why the arrow isn't pointing straight up (refer to attachment)? I know you can move the face, but no matter what I do, if I move the...
What things do you look for when QA'ing machined parts?
What's the difference between a gcode header and a setup sheet?
These spindles have amin RPM of 8000. Isn't that much too high for working with aluminium?
I haven't given up on aluminium on my machine completely but I'm starting to think is just not rigid enough. The times I tried, the thing was visibly moving around. So it seems like it can do it but...
This isn't my build guys. As I said, I found it as inspiration. Looking to run it past you guys for comments because I want to take a lot of elements from it for my build.
Sorry I don't follow...
Hi guys, I'm interested in making a new CNC machine that is a bit better suited for my needs and has a flat bed. My Chinese one is all warped as I found out when I was making PCBs with an engraving...
