I am in the same boat...I had v25 forever. My computer kept crashing after installing some grinding software...nonetheless...I had to reinstall my operating system. I didn't even think about...

Should you post your g-code to rule that out?

I had issues in the past with my pinions slipping...I drilled through the pinion and the shaft and secured them with a spring pin

Again, try sparkfun or adafruit...there are plenty tutorials

You could use an arduino. Try sparkfun or adafriut. There are many tutorials available

So, those species of wood are not "tough" or perhaps I should say they are weak.
Walnut is brittle and can frequently chip out(did you know walnut sawdust is toxic/caustic) and pine is also normally...

Hi BurrMan,

Thanks for the quick reply, but I am unable to locate anything that says '...angle'. I see a transparency degree...?

Should I look somewhere else?
I have V25

Hi,

I have a simple part. This part is oversized by 0.375" for a secondary process. The problem is that when I create the toolpath, it ends up being inside that 0.375" allowance and at times, it...

You can just open the solidworks file, or you can open it as an STL. You will most likely need to rotate your part in BobCad. For some reason bob cad does not match up with solidworks. Maybe that...

Mach 3 controls the knife, as it stays tangent to the line being cut. I basically just create a profile toolpath with no offset, and 9 times out of 10 it works very well. In mach 3 just select the...

I finally got around to implementing a tangential cutter on my CNC Router.

For the most part it works perfectly. However, I ran into a problem today. While cutting, the A-axis decided to do a...

I am running direct drive(for the purpose of this thread, I just changed it last night). I was fairly happy with the setup(5:1 reduction), but my ego got to me. The big boy machines can really fly! I...

I built my CNC Router about 2 to three years ago and I just keep upgrading...or trying. I have NEMA 34 motors moving my X and 2 moving the Y axis, driven by Gecko 203v and a PDMX breakout board....

Can I then use add solid boolean and such?

What does stitch surface to solid do? I was hoping I could skin a 3d object then convert it into a solid. Is that possible or am I just dreaming?
Thanks,
Ben

Well, I gave myself a wider stance, 4" to 8" and I left myself access to the screws in the pillow blocks. I always thought those were there to hold the bearings in the block, apparently you can...

Here is a picture of my current setup for the X-axis. I feel like there is too much movement along the X-axis, however after testing it today, my cuts seemed to be acceptable. I still wish it was...

My X axis, rather the router has too much play in it along the X axis. I previously had a ball screw mounted in between the 2 rails, but that seemed to act as a pivot. I just switched it to rack and...

I get that from time to time even in IJ mode, so I use this program to check out the g-code 1st.

dman65,

The problem with my build is that the way I built it, I can't add the bottom v-rail because it needs to be on the bottom, which means it would have to be on the outside of my 4" u-channel...

to rezero the machine:
under DRO you see machine coord, click thatbox turns red move your spindle to home and then start clicking ZERO.

Once that is done click machine coord again and you will be...

if you are only looking for limit switches(for safety), then sure you can just tie them all together.
But if you want to use them as home switches, I would keep them individual, then you can hit the...

1.8 degree step= how much the shaft rotates per pulse. 1.8 degrees out of 360.....

And yes that keling stepper will replace the keling. as far as the M, I have no idea what that means. hopefully...

you know, you should be able to make a mach3 boot disk and see if that solves your problems. It might not be the long time solution, but it might get you by for a bit

And in fact, I did get these from Bishop Wisecarver:)

I do not have any problem with side to side movement at all, that's what the "v" is for and the gantry never lifts off,( unless I leave the...

as far as the freezing goes, maybe there are some memory problems or some temp. file problems. Sorry don't know that one

For accel. my professional CNC friend says that there are formulas, but I...

as far as your dxf file, you need to convert it into G-code somehow. There are a lot of packages out there. I could shoot you a test file, but I use Mach3 so I am sure there would be some issues. you...

ok so my y-axis has the v bearings. I am happy with that, but if I were to do it again I would shoot to have another set on the bottom so that it is basically pulling the gantry down as well. Right...

I don't use Rhino, but for simplicity, I would create an offset toolpath(I would assume on the outside of the part), fool the CAM tooling and let it run...make sense?

i know this wasn't on your list but I have 4 gecko 203v for my three axis router mill and it has never failed me!

Search for pause...
This says:
Example
G4 P2000
Description
Pause the tool for 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds) before continuing.

This should take care...
