Hi all, our shop just bought a 2000 VF3 with APC from an auction but the last owner, when deleting all of their programs off of the controller, also deleted the six O9000 programs that control the...

Anyone know of a good company that exclusively parts out cnc machines? I'm trying to find a chip chute for my haas mill and don't want to drop $900 on one from the factory. Someone has to part these...

Hey all. I need to find someone who has a Hitachi Seiki ht-20 with a fanuc 3t-f controller. We just moved our shop across town and the power supply went out clearing all the parameters. We have the...

Hello all. Looking for a chip chute (big cone thingy) for my 1998 Haas VF-0E. It is the square flange, 8-bolt style but I could make the round flange style work. One of mine was cut off a while ago...

Tried 163, no luck. There just seems to be a half second delay that doesn't seem to exist in the older machines...

Hi all. I really need some help. Our shop runs (3) '99 VF-OEs and a 2013 VF-6. We're trying to find a setting or parameter that adjusts the handle jog deceleration. When we jog the OEs, the axis...

Hi, Is there any way I can change a template once I have a drawing? I'd rather not have to make a new drawing and re-dimension my whole part. We've updated our template a few times and so all the...

When you open the dxf in alibre it should ask you if you want to scale it. If that is the case just export it again as a dxf. I'm using the latest version so I don't know if previous versions give...

I second Cambam, I run two sherline machines and use cambam for both mill and lathe. You can use it 40 times for free, the lathe feature takes a second to get used to but now its super easy.

I bought both of them new and they were both labeled as straight, but I'll double check for sure

Hi ya'll, I had a quick question for all you benchtop veterans out there. I've been running my Sherline mill with mach3 for a few months now with great results. I just purchased a lathe to go with it...

Since I had already bought the keling 2-axis kit, I ended up just getting a parallel switch. Should work out pretty well. Thanks for all your advise. I'll keep ya'll updated.

Hi y'all I am currently running my Sherline 5000 series mill with a gecko g540 and mach3 on a PC. I just bought a cnc ready lathe and purchased a 2-axis kit from keling. I would like to run them both...

I'm not mad at all. I really appreciate both of your comments. Right now i'm working out of a room in my house so size is a big one. I would mainly be cutting flat bar, sheet metal, and round stock...

I've been told that rigidity is always your limiting factor. My Sherline is not great in that aspect, but I cut steel anyway and suffer the consequences. If your looking for ultra precision steel...

Hi, I just got my Sherline up and running and have made a few parts. I'm looking to get a small band saw for cutting stock to size, ideally I'd like one that fits under my bench and I can just bring...

Ignore, problem solved.

Would something like this work?

Hi y'all. I am getting close to getting my D&M4 (Sherline) going. I've got the G540 installed and powered up and the computer with a demo version of Mach3 running on a fresh new(used) desktop. My...

Thanks guys!

Just a quick question. I'm wiring my new keling motors to my g540. The diagram for the motors shows them as A+ and A-, B+ and B- while the driver says A and /A, B and /B. I couldn't find anything...

That sounds like what I need to know. I tried to follow the link to download the image file but it gives me the white "Forbidden" 404-Error. I'll try the EU mirror file.

I just installed 8.04. It seems to be running fine.

Hi, I'm having some problems installing emc on my computer. I'm new to linux, emc, and cnc in general. I bought an older compaq and installed Hardy Heron (Lucid Linx wouldn't work). The computer...

Add me to the D&M4 list. I just picked one up yesterday for $350. I've already ordered a new belt, a vise, and a bunch of tooling. I gutted the old boards and will be ordering a gecko g540, power...

Hi ya'll! I picked up my used D&M4 mill this morning, Its pretty much a sherline converted by d&m. Its pretty clean but the on-board computer is a mystery. I'll be replacing the controller, motors,...

That looks like it might work. Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion, I'm going to replace the old on-board computer with a gecko g540 and probably the old motors with some modern steppers. This is my first cnc mill build, I don't have any...

Hi, ya'll. I'm going to be buying a used D&M4 (Sherline 5000) mill this week and retrofitting it. I'm assuming it comes with the standard sherline #1 Morse taper. I've been looking at tooling for it...

Thanks! I'll take a look at it:)
