Yes my BOB looks like that. I don't use switches on any of the axis I found it to be a bother. I would use the touch probe to gauge tool length. I didn't see the VSS you are talking about, mine has...

I just bought from Amazon Changzhou Longs-Motor 4 axis kit, with BOB and 4- DM542A drivers; no wiring instructions. I have seen really poor pictures of the wiring diagram and probably can figure that...
I just bought this kit off of amazon, with no wiring diagram. I can figure out the wiring but can any one tell me which dip switch needs to be pushed, and the wiring diagram just in case. thank you
Thanks Gerry for all your input. Couple more questions, can I see a pic of your machine? Plus how did you make your dampers? What's the advantage to them, could I benefit by having them on my...
I tried a lot lower value in the accel and it really made a big difference in my cut. Your accel is set at 10 what do you have your velocity set at?
Thank you for your comments, it had me look at the accel settings; and I have played around changing them with my issue of racking. I couldn't see no change or advantage in lowering the value. I have...
Motors are 425 oz from Xylotex along with the power supply and one driver board for four motors . Settings are not high accel is set at 50 Velocity set at 60, steps are calibrated to 3221.801932.
Tipping? Would mean that it want to fall over or something like that? The picture of the machine is not the current state of what it looks like. I've cut the legs shorter to make it my stable and...
Hi guys,
I'm running two acme lead screws 2/10 5 starts on my x axis, so I have two steppers one on each of the lead screws. I calibrate the X axis and put the value in for the A axis...
I update the software all is well, how do I remove the thread?
It's on the ports and pin config page,far right side. There you can select diameter or radius.
Help! I just converted my Grizzly lathe 0602 over to cnc. I'm using Mach 3 turn, the z works in jog; but the x doesn't. I've reloaded the software, checked the ports and pins, every thing...
Alibre usually displays dimension info in red when it has been disassociated.
The OP should search the Alibre user forum for resolutions to this problem. Seems like video drivers might have been...
No, I know its not that because I can zoom in and out of the drawing mode, if it was small i would see something, thanks for the thought.
Hi Guys
Not new at using this software, but it's got me puzzled this time. Dimension Values I've turned on and off at time's to see what my part might look like when put together. Now old...
I've created a drawing and forgot how to save it as a dxf for Autocad 11. I export the drawing then save it as a AutoCad drawing correct? I'm rusty with my own software and forgot how to use some of...
Yes, I just finished my build using them, and they are awesome. No friction, smooth as silk. I had build a Solsylva CNC from the plans 3ft-4ft and used the roller skate bearings for the linear...
I had the same issue on mine. I took a very fine file the length of mine and test fit the bearing as I went; it took a couple of hours but it worked. Good luck
Well we have lots of stuff lol, so I need more space than 1100 sq ft. There's lots of houses to buy, but renting market it tough. Renting a place with 2800sq ft was $1250 a mouth, so good luck.
pswayze we are planning to move to Johnstown or Milliken area out there, June is my deadline. Plan on buying a house there and look for jobs, rent is a real bummer out there.
Well I would, If you have the room to move it and store it. You have idea's of building a machine and I think this is a good start. I'm moving to Colorado in two or three weeks to, maybe we could...
Thanks guys!!
Hi guys,
I've seen a number of people using the black cable guides on there machines, so they look neat and there (wires) are out to the way. Were can I purchase some?
Thanks
Is the disc about 3 inch diameter?
Ok I will try the damper's, what kinda of results should I be looking for. I will try the x axis first.
O.k I've seen the dampers. How do I make them, it look's like it's worth a try; and perhaps a different motor? ger21 what kinda a material did you use to make your machine...looks good. thanks guy's...
If I turn the velocity up to 80 it will make a grinding noise. I think the problem still is the length of the lead screw is 48 inches. If I leave it at (velocity)30 and the acceleration at 20 its...
I'm amusing you meant the voltage output for the motor. The voltage for the driver board is set at 24v max is 27. I have seen a number of people with this set up using pulleys on the lead screws. My...
Yes, I'm trying to make the gantry move faster using two lead screws; also I read that it's more efficient.My velocity settings on Mach 3 are set at 30 which I know it can improve with a pulley set...
Hi
Thanks for the info, but no I don't want to replace the lead screw. I have 1/2 10 2 starts acme lead screws. My x-axis is 48 inches long and would like to put a timing pulley belt system on it...
