  1. Re: Home built CNC Mill what conduit did you use for limit sensors & stepper motors

    I finally found some by using the term non-slit conduit. I got the 1/4" size I was looking for. thanks.
  2. Re: Home built CNC Mill what conduit did you use for limit sensors & stepper motors

    sounds good, where to you buy it? I looked on Amazon and all they seem to have in the 1/4 inch size I'm interested in is split.
  3. Home built CNC Mill what conduit did you use for limit sensors & stepper motors

    I'm in the middle of a CNC conversion to my Seig x2d mill and I'm trying to decide what cable conduits to use for the wires that will flex with axis movement. The stepper motor cable shielded but the...
  4. Has anyone used proximity switches on a Seig X2D or LMS 3990

    I just started the mechanical phase of converting my Seig X2D to CNC. Right now I have it disassembled so I can remove all of the oil they coat it wit before shipping. After I finish adding the new...

    Re: dip switch settings for 5056 stepper driver

    Thanks for sharing. I'm starting a build to convert a Seig X2D to CNC. When I get to assembly I'll definitely be looking at the relevant formulas.
    My original plan was to convert a little machine...
  6. Re: raspberry pi with either bcnc or ugs manual operations

    Thanks for the info. I'll look at linuxCNC. Yes, fusion doesn't run on raspberry pi. I run it on a windows 10 pc in my home office. After I generate the gcode file from fusion manufacturing I use...
  7. raspberry pi with either bcnc or ugs manual operations

    I've done one CNC build using the raspberry Pi protoneer cnc hat that controls a small Proxxon Mf70 mill. I use Fusion 360 to do the cad drawings and then their cam module to generate the Gcode. I'm...
  8. Re: limit switch recommendations for hobby level CNC conversion of a HiTorque mini mi

    Agreed. I was wanting to get something more reliable than micro switches which is what prompted my question.
  9. Re: limit switch recommendations for hobby level CNC conversion of a HiTorque mini mi

    Thanks for the link. Once my mill gets here and checked out I'll start thinking about the CNC conversion. Automation direct seems to have enough variety that I can find something that will work.
  10. Re: limit switch recommendations for hobby level CNC conversion of a HiTorque mini mi

    Thanks for the information. My mill is on the way, I'll look into these switches but since I'm using a Raspberry PI CNC shield I need one to work at 5VDC so I don't need additional interfacing or...
  11. limit switch recommendations for hobby level CNC conversion of a HiTorque mini mill

    I'm planning to do a CNC conversion on a HiTorque Mini Mill from Little Machine Shop. The first mill conversion I did was a Proxxon MF70. For that one I used mechanical limit switches. The stepper...

    MF70 grbl $$ settings

    I've finished my conversion of a Proxxon MF70 to CNC using 3A stepper motors and limit switches on all axes. I use the Proteon Raspberry Pi v2.60 cnc shield. I also use Fusion 360 cad/cam to...
  13. Proxxon MF70 CNC conversion -- limit switches intallation and location

    I'm in the process of converting a MF70 to CNC control and I'd like to solicit information and maybe photos on limit switches. I'm using a CNC shield so it already has provisions for 6 limit switch...
