Doubt my landlord would be supportive of cutting a hole is his ceiling. If you know how limit switches work it seems like a super simple approach that will work. The only way it wouldn't is if the...
Thinking worst case scenario, I could move the z travel stop that interfaces with the z axis limit switch by an inch or two up if I had to and path pilot wouldn't yell at me for causing errors right?
Thanks for looking it up, but unfortunately that doesn't help. There's adjustable feet and a cable chain that doesn't need to be there if I'm counting inches of clearance. 96" is the factory awnser,...
I'm in the market for a used tormach and have been restricting my search to a 440/770 based on my garage ceiling height. Wondering if I really need to do that, Tormachs website says 96" height is...
Has anyone bought NYC CNC's {Saunders Machine Works) Fusion 360 CAM training for $99? I'm interested but a little hesitant that everything he covers can be readily found on other youtube channels. So...
I know of a magnaturn 612 nearby for sale and am thinking about it to do a complete acorn retrofit on. How rigid/heavy duty are these little lathes? I recently had to use a Chinese import grizzly 6"...
Thanks guys, my red flag is up a little bit on this machine but it's in the just cheap enough to probably not be a total piece of junk machine category. Last thing I need is another big project to...
I'm working out the details to go look at an 1100 series 3 next week, what are some important things I should look out for? Supposedly it's been used enough to have needed the axis steppers replaced...
So I bought an old DHC+ plasmacam machine at an auction and am having issues with the connection to the computer, I think my software is version plasmacam 3.04. Upon initialization I'm getting an...
How do you guys adjust your gibs on CNC machines? I took my mills table apart to clean it and take care of some rust and now I need to adjust the gibs.
When I've reinstalled gibs on manual...
We need all the pull studs!.... For reasons
Maybe it was their idea of a faster way to stop the axis motors? Kinda weird, I wouldn't think those 3 capacitors on their own wouldn't store enough power to do much but who knows. Might mean the...
That looks just like my old power supply resistors. should be a 150-170v dc power supply. I think those resistors are for the "axis shunt" or emergency stop, when that happens you will have a SSR...
It's giving me buyers remorse lol. Good luck on retrofitting it if you go that route. I wound up having to replace everything.
If you want to do the calculations yourself and have a little bit of an interest in math, youtube factor of safety calculations and you'll eventually get to the awnsers you seek. The math isn't too...
Wow that tool changer! What are the milling dimensions on that thing? Looks just like my dm2800, 8" X 6" y 7" z
Not something I feel like tinkering with but turning a slightly longer copy of the drawbar on a lathe and adding a small sleeve in the spindle to engage the ball bearings sooner for a shorter pull...
The schematics that DMM has to wire the DYN4 as a spindle drive to an acorn board are for an old version of acorn that doesn't exist anymore. I know it's possible to do, as several youtubers have...
I think I remember 5 ball bearings. Here a schematic of what the internal spindle looks like for anyone thinking about building a new draw bar. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to do.
Id like to get all 20+ of my bt30 tool holders pull studs, that kind of depends on the individual price though. If you have a potential group buy I'm interested.
If your washer stack isn't...
Thanks 2ferrous! I actually sent you a message seeing if you still had a drawing before I saw this. The 45 degree inside taper defiantly makes more sense than the 30 degree taper I've seen.
I've noticed that the handful of normal bt30 tooling with pull studs that I've collected hasn't been long enough to engage with the drawbar. Did dyna myte make its own proprietary pull studs or are...
So I have 2 DC power supplys in my control cabinet, one 24v and one 48v. Can I terminate both power supplies V- into one common terminal? Or should I separate one dedicated for my 24v supply and one...
So say I have your standard mean well DC power supply, I would want a breaker or a fuse between its output and my drivers that can do 150% of the output?
My driver power supply is a 48v 21a DC...
I am building my contoll cabinet now and am thinking about fuses. Do I want them and where should I put them?
I have an acorn board running 3 stepper online CL57Y drivers that supposedly draw 5...
I'm learning as I go, but isn't that exactly what step to linear does? Take digital step/direction signal and convert it to analog +10/-10v? I prematurely bought a centroid acorn board before I knew...
I'm doing a cnc retrofit with a centroid acorn control and would like to keep my old analog servo motor controllers. Will your step to linear board work with the acorn system? Also will it work to...
I was just searching for other controller options that would work with analog input and came across a site called viper servo.com. Viper actually has a forum on the cnczone too surprisingly, they...
Wow, that's surprisingly similar to what I have. Thankyou, I'll save that to my desktop.
