Yeah there are a few broken links. Try this.

There are a few plans out there for sale but if you are after a free plan you could try Gary's clock or Nick

I am assuming you are in Brisbane. This seems to be the latest info on what is happening.

1 Not a 100% sure but I don't think it matters which side the screws are on (perhaps somebody else can help here)
These are used to adjust backlash. You will need to have the lead screw in it to...

Hi
I am not entirely sure what you are asking, you do not need glue. It should slip in. Perhaps have a look here: Setting Up a Taig Mill V2 for adjustment.

Hi
Brisbane has been very quiet.
I have seen this link posted a few times. They might be able to help.

Somebody with more experience may chime in but you need to contact them to see the details of what is actually included. Can't see any mention of motors or controller in the description. There isn't...

Who is complaining about the g540? I have one and I am happy with it. The price is also better (see Homann designs) then when I last looked. Plenty of info and support for them as well.

I have bought Aluminium and brass from "offcuts-galore" on quicksales and ebay. When I was after a particular size that wasn't listed I email him and he lets me know what he has and how much.

Thought I would post an update in case anyone is interested. Yesterday I got a chance to spend a little time in the shed so I started to assemble the cnc mill. I haven't completed assemble yet but...

Hi Gary

As far as I know .rlf files can only be opened with ArtCam. Did a search and found this "You can convert RLF file to STL in ArtCam. Go to relief menu->create triangle mesh, create...

Been a while since I set up MACH3 and have since switched to EMC but unless you have set up a relay you will need to manually turn your spindle motor on and off. See the G540 manual on connecting a...

From discussion on the yahoo taig group: That dowel is to set your X-axis stop points, maybe not needed as much with cnc but you could use it for your limit switches. (see Nick's Taig Lathe and...

I don't think the generator has enough balls to start the air compressor otherwise I would be using it. It is a shame about your friend, not sure how muddy the water up there is but the longer...

Glad to here you were ok. Rockhampton looked pretty bad on the news. Mostly worried about the house. All the furniture is in the shed now and we are using a generator and industrial fans to dry...

Thanks for the info. We had heaps of family and friends come and help us and it has been great. All the tools I could salvage got flushed with fresh water and soaked in wd40. It is still amazing how...

I live in Brisbane and was wondering if stepper motors can be salvaged if they have been submerged in floodwater or should I just get some new ones? Flood was higher than the 74 flood where I live :(...

This might work: A head/helmet minus the face wouldn't be too hard to draw in cad, and Artcam can do a relief from a photo. So once you have made your blanks/helmet you can put whoever’s face you...

Q1. With a bit of playing I got my mill down to less than 0.1mm (0.004"). Not sure if I could do better but that is accurate enough for what I do.

I am not keen on drilling and tapping holes in my mill either. Can't see around doing it though. For a quick and temporary solution I used the small T-slot on the front of the table for the X-axis...
