Parameter #3734 is spindle speed max, I had dropped it from 7250 to 4500 (the max of the chuck)
returning it fixed this issue. I'm guessing that its multiplying by a gear ratio somewhere that is...
You might be better off writing a macro to do that for that specific tool and inserting it in your CAM software.
I forced the spindle override to be displayed via a parameter to verify. I cant remember which one it was right off the top of my head, but thats how I checked.
There is no spindle override in...
Thanks for these leads, ill try and chase them all down when I get to the shop after work tonight.
There's no spindle speed override knob on the machine so I'm unsure how to force the SSO via...
Hey all,
Working on a Fanuc 21-T Lathe. Spindle speed override is set to 100%. No gearbox in the machine, serial spindle control (no voltage offsets)
I command M3 S500, I get S873(ish) - no...
also looking for help via DM - Fanuc 21-T
Hey folks,
Would there be any interest in a bolt on pneumatic drawbar kit for the G0704? My 3 stage cylinder will be arriving in the next couple days, and I've been considering building a few if...
If you're downsizing from a bridgeport to a table mill I would advise against a Sherline or Taig. I realize its mostly plastic and aluminum, but working to the very extents of your machines table...
Your Z ballnut probably has a zerk fitting on it, to which you would run a lubrication line within your column. Where exactly do you think the problem lies with your Z axis? Can you give us some...
Not a tormach, but I've had exactly the same issue happen sometimes with a particular 3D printer. The pots on the stepper drivers were cranked a bit high and the overcurrent/overtemp protection would...
Read my response above, the key is !kabF1sG3VxFZJc4fEpeUhLUG0WdcaLmZkrR4EJm7i1o
Odd, I tried to make it keyless.
Regardless, if my fix didnt work, try this

Here's some of the stuff I've compiled over the last few months from odd corners of the internet. Compressed with 7Zip, if you have trouble uncompressing just download it (google) its free.
Note:...
It really depends on the amount of work you want to get done and the extent of how fast you want to do it. Do you need a tailstock? Gang tooling? Budget? You may be well off doing a small benchtop...
For those wondering, the company name is Kirkpatrick Consulting. The are based in Dallas, Texas. The mission statement matches word for word.
Damnit, I wish I could get that new control on our new machines (by new, I mean 2013-2015. Cant be retrofit onto any old machines :/
At the end of the day everything is just motors, drivers, and sensors. Its a matter of getting it all wired correctly to a breakout board. for instance, I have a Nordson glue dispensing robot, but...
Why not use a pick and place machine? They're high speed and often contain vision systems that you could apply to your measurement needs.
Just replaced my X axis ballscrew with a double nut unit due to a bent screw. Will have more on this in the next week or so. My slightly hacked up version is working quite well, and the only intended...
I really like the look of the thing, I wish I could just buy the spindle indexing sensor though, and modify my current machine to be able to single point turn.
If it were up to me, given the information you've provided, I would wait until I had a base in hand and then get some concrete measurements for sizing a new ball screw, unless you have the capability...
Did you leave backlash compensation enabled in Mach3?
Feel free to use standard threaded rod for it. Get back to us when you realize that a leadscrew has certain quality standards that end up costing money.
Excellent, thank you all for your comments. I'm glad to see that the double row bearings will not need to be shimmed in order to function correctly. This should make installation a breeze.
Open ends facing eachother, sandwiched together kinda like (nut) > (endplate) < /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ Ballscrew
Where the > and < are the direction of the angular...
Hey folks,
I'm going to be making numerous changes to my little Taig lathe, and I'll be posting all of my models online under the creative commons attribution non-commercial license. You can find...
Bump. Can anyone show how they have their bearings arranged for the fixed and floating end?
Ultimately you need to know the clamping force on your chuck, then the cutting forces that you are going to be applying to the workpiece. C110 can range in hardness from B50-B95 or so so your surface...
I've also had a lot of trouble tapping stainless. We ended up switching to emuge taps and reducing the thread % cut.
