The price for this is just bonkers. I don't get it. The options make no sense either. Both of them look like they want you to send parts over there but the last one is saying that after your Y axis...

Its a sketch when I open it in SW I import as a new part too 2D sketch. Then under the drop down menu for Units of imported data I select Mils and click finish.

This brings it in with MM's however...

I have a DXF file that is setup in MM that I would need to convert to Inches so I can run the part correctly. Having a bit of trouble doing this. Is there an easy way to convert the drawings that are...

Any chance you could provide some more pictures of your ballscrew setup?

I'm a bit leery of that site you linked there isn't much info and seems like a lot of the links just don't do anything.

Do you think something like this might be better suited? Iv had some trouble finding a supplier in the US tho.

I think the biggest issue here is going to be space. Bellow are some pictures from the wiki on building the bot.

This is the Y axis bed which houses the stepper for the X axis.

Thanks for the reply! That concept looks very interesting and might be what I'm looking for. Do you happen to have any pictures of the parts separated, and also maybe mounted on a stepper.

I came across this post on my search to find a solution on dampening the steppers in my Makerbot 3d printer. Its made of wood and at certain speeds the steppers produce a lot of resonance and...

For anyone that has bought from Vortex

Vortex Tool: Solid Carbide Router Bits and Compression Spirals for woodworking, plastics and non-ferrous industries.

Any ideas where I might be able to...

Those pics are super tiny is there any chance you might be able to provide links to bigger ones?

This is something I will be looking to do on my Taig as I continue setting it up and learning it.

As far as the drivers go I will have to stick with the G203V's that I have because I bought them from a dealer through ebay who does not accept returns.

Regardless they might be overkill for the...

Well this is all starting to make a heck of a lot more sense. But I don't think ill be tempting fate on this one.

Do you have any recommendations on a particular power supply other then what I...

Well I'm sure glad I started asking questions before doing anything. Albeit a little later then I probably should have but none the less I am where I am now.

Mariss I'm a touch confused about this...

I think that option is a bit extreme. While the motors are a bit more powerful then I might currently need, as are the drivers (which I have seen some people use on this machine before) I don't think...

I came across this website after reading some more stuff on here.

They have the KL- 7220 which is 72 VAC and 20amps. But again its unregulated...

Is there a perticular brand you would recomend? So far I was just looking on Automationdirects website and came across this.

Thanks for the reply! Any recommendations on a Power supply to power all this?

So a few weeks back I made a post about some Sherline mills. In short from what Iv read for what I want to do the Taig was a much better choice and it was cheaper too boot.

What I ended up buying...

Raymod thanks for the reply! What you have pointed out is my main concern with these machines. They don't look extremely sturdy, although I have seen nice things cut on them, I'm sure those parts...

I was hoping someone here might be able to point out anything that I might have missed when it comes to these two mills. I'm extremely new to cnc, and I will be looking to cut acrylic and aluminum...
