Hey all, hopefully the title says it all.
First time playing with these 2 items... helping out a friend who fried their no-name / unmarked board.

Hey all, long time no talk.
So, I have a question for discussion. I ended up with a CO2 laser that uses 220v. Turns out the tube won't light up or fire. According to my friends, they said, go...
I ended up having to get some custom made from China off of Alibaba, and then custom drill bits from WL Fuller. I and working with the ones I got now, to see how they work, and if they need to be...
Hey all,
Trying to find a place to get some fasteners. They look like the rivot nuts, but they're a little backwards as the thread goes all the way thru. I put together a mocked up version of...
@Jim, I'm using a GRBL/Arduino .9j controller. It supports G10. So, having a G54 and a G90 seems like it would be counter productive if I had a G10 L20 P1 offset command.
I'm wondering if I...
Actually, that's exactly what I need. I can orchestrate everything else, thats not an issue... If I need to give it a .1 inch offset, easy enough. I just need to know how to tell it that when I...
So, I'll try to set this up for you...
There is no Lathe-centric software, so it's literally a spindle, and an X and Z Axis bolted on next to it.
The best I can do for coordinates is to build...
I've been cutting air chips for about 2 weeks now.. and watching my X axis fly off the rails.. It seems like I just keep going further and further away from what I'm trying to do..
I'm fairly...
@ger21, so, if I was in incremental mode, and my tool was at 0/0/0 and then set my G10 to X.625, and ran a G0 X.725, it would move X.100, however, if I had run
G90 G0 X.725 it would move X.725,...
@ger21: Here is the code I think I need to use. (I'm not sure about the G90 in there)
This is the first cut I'm doing with the lathe.
Let's assume that the piece is 1.25 inches in diameter,...
Well, I haven't applied anything yet. I'm trying to get 2 Axis CNC Lathes to work using Arduinos and Fusion 360, so tonight I'll be trying the code. I was going to attempt it last night, but got...
So, G54 would take me to said offset... G10 modifies the coordinates,
Lets assume inches on the spacing
so.. if I had G10 X.625 in one line
And then I ran the code G0 X.725, it would move the X...
Greetings all.
So, I'm writing a post processor for Fusion 360, and I want to make sure i'm using a G-Code correctly.
If I was writing something for a turning profile, and I used a G54 command,...
Looks really nice..so that's your GCode sender?
BTW,
I've been able to compensate for just about everything inside of the Post processor in Fusion 360 to dump working GCode to a generic GRBL...
BTW, Got any information on your software? Kinda curious to see what you're doing with it..I'm an old VB Developer.
Okay, so this is different now. I need to give this a try tomorrow and see how it works.
I set the scaling on my post processor to 1 instead of 2 and now my code looks like this:
%
(1001)
G7...
So, are you saying that I need to set the X axis output * .5 to get the right distances since my controller isn't going to compensate for it itself?
Also, if you don't mind me asking, what are you...
This is part of a compound problem, and I'm trying to work it to the problem. I am going to assume that it's somewhere in the setup.
The machine: Scratch Built CNC Lathe + Fusion 360 + home made...
So, I'm in the market to buy 2, and then a 3rd set later on for use on 3 different machines in my garage. What's the best combo for 110v coming in, and what kind of warranty do you have on these?
...
This is basically the setup I'm looking for. I don't plan on upgrading beyond this.. cutting hard woods and soft aluminum. I just want it to have very little runoff and be in the 200 dollar range...
Al,
Yes, it ends up being an induction motor..
I'm wondering if the 2 leads (marked yellow and blue in the last post) are induction coils to get it to spin in a certain direction, or for feedback...

After a little more digging around, I've been told that...
Hey guys. I got one for you.. kind of a throw up question.
I harvested 2 of these motors, and I wanted to hook them up to make some automation tools at the house, however I have zero wiring...
Biggs, I think you're right there... Crap, forgot about that.. I need to boost those up to 3000 then and see how that works. Acceleration then will need to be tweaked a bit to compensate. Thanks! ...
Howdy folks.
So, we finished our rebuild of a 1986 GERBER 600, and we're using GRBL on an arduino.. So far, everything works great, but we know the machine should be able to run faster.
...
Thanks. I wanted to point out that my friend had gotten it for a great price, but running 3 phase 220 into his space was going to cost him waaaaay too much money. I told him I could rebuild it with...
Also, I wanted to point out, I'm using Arduino/GRBL to drive drivers that are 6.5 amp... So, I'm just pulsing to drivers, but I have them on a 24v 20 amp power supply....
The reason I'm using GRBL is because I can generate my GCode with Fusion 360 to TINYG on the post processor, and it compensates for all of that in the CAM Module. I've been using it on my XCarve......

It's a GERBER 600 8x10 foot CNC from 1986.
I've been adding everything to my facebook photo album on the rebuild.. I have...
Hey all... I just finished rebuilding a 30 year old CNC with new stepper motors and drivers, and I'm using arduino/GRBL as my board with a custom shield to control the stepper controllers.
I've...
