Mark,
Which Software are you driving it with?

mNm = Milli Newton Meter ( should read mN/m or mN-m).

Glen

Opps I found it - 200 mNm = 28.3 oz/in! And that is my final answer!
Regards,
Glen

Marc,
200 newtons is equal to 719 oz. The mNm is throwing me a little. 200 Millinewtons = .719 oz. Hope this helps.

Anodizing is a surface coating. It will "harden" the surface of the material and also add to the surface (typ. .001 to .0005). When you get your parts anidized any surface marks will be...

Javadog,
I have three I can sell you right now! You will not be able to get them in that size box, I tried. Let me re-phrase, you can but it will be packed way too tight. Plan on something much...

Check out Automation Direct, also Omron makes some good ones and can be purchased thru Allied Electronics. I use and have been using prox sensor from Automationdirect.com for years, the prices are...

Javadog,
As for the power supply, I prefer to use a stand alone and not rely on the PC for power. There are plenty of 5vdc for the Geckos/BoB's and yes fans, plus there are the 12vdc for...

Javadog,
Hey man, I ordered the whole set of boards from Arturo and have been very happy with both the boards and the price. I have built seveal systems since then and I am still using them and very...

I use cncsimulator (www.cncsimulator.com), it is very easy to use once you get thru the set-ups for your machine and best of all ITS FREE! I make my programs, cut and paste the code into...

Skippy,
Window what you want to copy, then use copy Icon, type 0,0,0 and "Enter". Now the entire windowed area is copied on top of itself. Next use Properties Icon, then "P" - "Enter" for Previous,...

All,
I just asked my super in the machine shop! Get this, they have found it cheaper and easier to buy the cheap Enco mills, use them till they go dull, throw them away and buy new ones. Plus he...

I downloaded it this weekend, it looks very simular and I am very much looking forward to giving it a try soon. I have a full plate for the next few weeks and don't want to have to re-configure my...

Carefully?

MBG,
Enco (useenco.com) has the same punch set for 97 bucks. Either one is a good deal. I have the set and they work great. Good luck.

Nick,
Not only is it free for 1000 lines, it is the most powerful software for the money than anything out there! Get the free download, save a little money every week and make the purchase, you...

Barry,
The limit switches can either be done with 1 or 2 switches per axis. I use only one, which reads 2 flags, or you can use two and have them read 1 or 2 flags. I always try to use as little in...

Florida here too! Spring Hill north of Tampa!

Heat the ends quickly, let it cool slow (maybe a rag heat sink, but don't over-do the need to quickly cool). I have done this with all kinds of acme and ball leads, and "for the most part" they lay...

DAB,
It is not as big a problem as it all sounds. You will need a "real" lathe! Other than that, it all is a piece of cake. Harbor Frieght sells several torches. I use one I bought for about 40...

Another thought, how about using a 5vdc from a seperate source. You can pick up one at a local hardware store that sells cell phones. Perhaps, as it was noted, it could be a ground problem since any...

Ok, my bad! 234567 is correct. The BOB I use connects pins as shown, but then leaving the BOB it hooks up 2 3 GRD 4 5 GRD 6 7 GRD...... Good Luck, I (most of us) know what your going thru.
Regards,...

I am still thinking hook-up! Hate to beat a dead horse, but (If you have not done so already) check the pin-out for Mach2 because something sounds funkie about your 2 3 4 5 6 7 pins. I am at my...

Max,
As you change from computer to computer and Mach2 to TurboCNC be aware that the pin-out connections change. My guess is (and only a guess with info I have) is that your pin-outs are wrong. I...

Am I as think as I drunk I am?

Halfnutz,
In my never to be humble opinion, Flood is far better than misting, especially for the home machine type guys. I picked up my flood system and coolant from Enco (www.useenco.com). The...

JavaDog,
Yes, that will work just fine. That wide type of track is (somewhat) equal to using dual tracks. The ratings on that rail / track are going to be far and above what you need, and you save...

Studysession,
Aluminum can be anodized, which is a surface treatment only. The surface of the aluminum is all that gets hard, it works well for abrasion (rubbing) but not well for impact. The...

Oh yeah,
The guide / manual was around $24, and I believe that was taken off my purchase of the kit when I made the purchase.
