Wow! That is a real nice setup. I look forward to reading all about it [emoji3]

1 home bryter pr akse fungerer ypperlig.

Softlimits bør du uansett bruke, da denne funksjonen bremser ned bevegelsen gradvis når den merker at du nærmer deg yttergrensene. Dermed slipper du...

Fin maskin du har laget!

Har byttet ut slike brytere med dette settet, og ville ikke gått tilbake:
CNC4PC

Når det er sagt fungerer enkle mikrobrytere helt fint, og spesielt der det ikke finnes...

Kan jeg tenke meg. Fin oppgradering!

I'm looking forward to next update. This is my favorite thread :)

Very nice thread, and I really liked the info about surface treatment! Your eye for details are very inspiring!

Look forward to see more pictures! :)

Jeg har brukt vanlig 1,5 og 2,5 kv.mm ledninger til dette. Har ikke merket noen problemer med det. Derimot er det noen problemkomponenter som ofte dukker opp i CNC prosjekter, og som ofte krever...

Hi,

Try out the joystick plugin from Art Fenerty. Should work with any controller that is compatible with your version of Windows.

If you "right click" on the icon you use to open mach3, and select properties, you should be able to see where the program is located. Copy the license file to that folder.

Hi Christian,

Glad you like it :)

1. The list should be complete, but does not include end-machining of ballscrews, materials for motor mounts and some bearings and screws. I have also bought a...

Hello,

Been thinking of adding a vacuum table to attach parts to my cnc mill. I will make fixtures that fit the outline of the part, and hold it in the x/y plane, and will rely on the vacuum to...

Hello,

I have bought VCarve 4.6 and like it a lot. The main reason for this is that it is easy to use and posts files directly in to Mach 3.

Now I want 3D, and Vectric Cut 3D is the natural...

Hi,

The connector is supplied with the spindle. The wires to the drive must be soldered on to the connector.

Thanks to linearmotionbearings2008 and Jeff for pointing me in the right direction here. Now it is as smooth as silk :)

Happy New Year to you all!

Hi Jeff,

First i reset the drive to default, then i ran auto tuning as described in the manual. I never get any error-messages, but the motor stalls at 15-20 Hz, and get warm in a couple of...

I have just received a 2,2KW version . I bought the one without drive, since I allready have a GE Fuji 300E$. It seems that I have run into a problem.

Almost finnished with the conversion now.
- Made a adapter plate for x and y ballnut
- Machined room for the ballnut fixing plate in the xy saddle
- Machined away 3mm along the underside of the...

A little progress with the control box tonight. The casing is from a charger that was rated at 70/90A @ 12V, so the heatsink is massive. A fan mounted over the drivers will suck out warm air. I plan...

I haven't tested it much yet, but it seems like a rigid machine for it's size. I will give a full review when the conversion is done, and it's up running again :)

Hi,

Ball nut base

Ball nut

- The Isel base is locked to the nut with a set screw.
- The mounting holes in the base could not be used, so we had to drill and tap 4 holes.
- The block is...

- Y ballscrew machined to 10mm on both ends
- M8 threads and key for handwheel machined on the front end
- No bearing support in the back of Y-screw
- Mounted the ballnut on Y-screw and assembled...

I started a thread on an BF20L conversion today:

I have disassembled and cleaned the machine, but have to finnish my mill before I start the resurrection of this.

Welcome!

I have just started the conversion of my BF20L. I will post pictures as the project moves along.

I bought an old lathe yesterday. I'm going to strip off the paint and try to get it as smooth as possible. Then it's time to learn how to set it up and use it. Can't wait to get started :)

It's...

Hi,

I went for a Boxford Model A with screwcutting gearbox and power cross feed. I paid around USD 400 for it, and it has cooling and a lot of equipment. The paint needs to be stripped off. I had...

Hi,

I have the opportunity to buy a 1950 Monarch 10EE in good shape for the equivalent of USD1650. I think the price is great for what I get, but I have yet to see a CNC conversion of this...

I think you have to chose backlash or higher friction in the nut. I had the same choice on my Optimum BF20L mill, and decided to buy ball screws, but that was also because of the large and heavy...

Hi,

I can't comment on this machine, but Chinese machines in general. I look for a lathe in the 70-100 cm class, with good precision. Not great, but good. I live near a store which sells a lot of...
