I like meshcam too. For drilling it works well at locating all the holes in a model, I then go back and add a g83 to each location. It's still faster than plotting them all out and writing he code by...

Sherline rotary tables on sale this month. I just received mine in the mail...

CNC Programming Handbook, Third Edition: 9780831133474: Computer Science Books @ Amazon.com

I have this book and it's dry, but very informative.

I agree with Icvette, get a 34 for the Z. I have a tight spot at the top that is still there after much lapping. I'm using a 907oz motor with a 48v power supply and it's doing ok. If i had to do it...

Great thread, thanks.
I've been using my G0704 manually for a year or so and am just now getting ready to choose electronics. I'm particularly following your Linux stuff. I've got Ubuntu 10.04 on a...

Coroplast walls sandwiched between aluminum angle. Still need a front.

I bought one of those manifolds as well, thanks for the link!

It just got pushed out as it became warm and a little thinner. I wouldn't say melt per se. You definitely had more than I would recommend in that bearing, the other post was correct at about %30. If...

I bought a precut plate from the local metal shop, drilled and tapped for casters. Been working great.
Take care
Kevin...

Very Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

My z gib on my 0704 did the same thing after some lapping and straightening.
I'm with AVRnj, linear rails on the Z might be a solution.

Take care
Kevin

that's awesome!

FWIW you're helping me out a lot. I think I'm about 2 months away from being where you are now. Really appreciating this thread :cheers:

Thanks for sharing your experience with the switches. I was close to buying the same set up.

I did the same. I'm thinking the ways on the head are not very parallel. The next time I have the head off I'll measure top to bottom. There must be a taper.

My solution was the same as the OP, I just don't use the lower lock. I said "than yours" meaning the solution, such as it is, that the OP had already described.

Take care,
Kevin

I have the same issue, and haven't found a better solution than yours.

They look like right to me too. What are you concerned about?

My friend,
I sent you a PM but your inbox is full. Here's the Geomagic forum
Geomagic ? Index page
Best of luck finding a more conclusive answer there, there's certainly more experienced users to...

No it doesn't. I had a drawing open when I took that screen shot.
Call Cubify, they sell options a la cart. Might not be too much more for that specific need.

This motor is approx. 6 3/4" tall from the mounting face and 4 1/4" OD at the rear. Don't know if that's different or not. As soon as I got the mill I took it apart :) So I haven't run it yet. Can't...

FWIW I just received my 0704, thanks for inspiration Hoss! There's no label visible on the motor case. Just 110V, a few Chinese letters, and a rotational arrow. I haven't removed the motor so I can't...

Sorry for the late response, I haven't been on this board in a while. For your second question, absolutely you just buy it from Sherline. I don't have any other Sherline products, there was no...

That's a really good idea on the y nut, nice job!
take care
Kevin

What he said ^. Here's how mine looks.

that's cool:cheers:

Nice!!! Wear a helmet!!!!

I just checked on my Sherline/Cubify Design. It does import/export .dwg and .dxf in the 2D drawing mode.

I bought the Sherline Personal Edition, here:https://www.sherlinedirect.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=69&CFID=39399487&CFTOKEN=66728251

It's the usual Personal Edition with...

Looks cool. Just for fun or do you see projects for it that 3d printing won't do?
