Understanding how a laser tube works is very important. Just because you have say a 60 watt laser doesn't mean you want to run it at 100% rather it's best to run it at lower amps (ma that is) because...
A 40 watt laser should cut 3mm ply without problems. I cut 6 mm with no problems at about 25% power 3 passes. I've noticed that different plywood cuts differently it may be the glue used... If you...
Try this.

Back it off the limit switch, then check the switch to make sure it is functioning properly. They have a history of sticking as they get older. You could also have a electrical connection broken or...

Try asking this on the Practical Machinist site. I think you will get more feed back on SW combo'd with VM. We used it with Alibre for more than 5 years now, it is the full 4 axis pro version and we...
These model Fadals have linear ways and they have grease zerk type fitting banks on the Z axis, saddle Y axis, and table X axis for lubrication, not oil. Here is a link for the manuals. You should be...

I am assuming your talking about a new CMM.
I 'understand' there is a way to install dual OS in windows (7 and 8.1) but that's about the limit of my knowledge. You might look into that.
Unfortunately, I'm too far away based on your 'local requirement' or I could help.
Without seeing you print requirements and knowing the model of the Haas, it is difficult to know the scope of...
Thanks for responding back! Sometime we don't know if we helped or not. This way it may help others. Kido to you!
FWIW - Most people forget to remove (and replace) the leveling screws. Doing so will give you a little more room.
A trick also is to have 4 sheets 1/8 x 8 x 24 of UHMW plastic ( 25 bucks at Tap...
Hasn't anyone else bought tooling from them and have comments? When buying from this company (and other well known) I would think you would be interested in having an idea of what you are getting....
As the title says, I'm rating tooling I've bought from Shars. Some are good, and a few had problems. I'm mostly trying to pass on information to other hobbyist, but those who have businesses could...
The metering valve may have been replaced with the wrong one or has been removed. Also, check all ways on the other axis to make sure they are lubing correctly. Further, using the wrong way lub...
jm thanks for the follow-up. It may help someone else in the future.

FWIW - In the old days we had problems drip feeding to the FADAL cnc 88 (1989) turned out to be the com cable was to long and that 15FT was about max. length. At this point all the problems went...
We can suggest but will need to know your budget range...
Fadal G code is very similar to Fanuc. What CAM you use is mostly up to you. They all fairly good in the class of CAM you are looking at. Myself I use EZCam and Visual Mill both are good low/mid...
IMO Your approaching this wrong. I would make it in pieces... the four side walls and the one bottom piece with some sort of corner interlock then have it laser welded. We done protos dozens of times...
EZ-CAM was Mac based in the late 60's...I still have an old mac with it running using the Classic OS... nowadays, I have no clue.
I have seen the roller bearings dry out or rust up on the umbrella shaft and cause that. Try using an oil can to drop way oil into the roller bearings and on the shaft. If it improves then that...
Ran across this slumming through e-bay. I know NOTHING about it and have no need of it myself. I have a full four axis CAM. I suspect that it is a basic 2 1/2 axis SW, but they give almost no...
FWIW- I was at a shop in L.A., California... years back, looking at a machine a guy had for sale, He was running two FADAL machines with Moly D for coolant!! He was bragging how well it cut and...
Thanks Mike, I'll play around with it.
No ... No ... No ... to using ATF or any oils as coolant. Cheap water soluble oils or synthetics are best. McMaster-Carr. To me even for misting I personally do not like "Koolmist" coolants or...
I'm not sure what the difference between the two transformers. Check with these guys Parts from one of the Originators of the FADAL Machine they are a great help. The founder is David E. de Caussen's...
