As far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as a three phase PM45.

I cannot speak for Germany but we run single phase 220/230v in Australia, I have my 45 plugged into a 20A outlet I specifically...

It's a little further along now. Finalising reduction housings.
X motors mount within the channel so they're not hanging out and the rack is hanging in the same cavity.
Y motor is on top of the...

oops, forgot to answer that part.

This table is still under construction, table and gantry is done, just building the belt reductions at the moment.
Using V-rails from TEA.

On the Y-axis, I'm...

wouldn't have a clue who, mod 3 might be that sort of price?
maybe they're now charging through the nose for drilling?

I'll have a hunt later for the invoice, I've got a few lots from them so...

Not sure where you got the $600 quote from?

I got mine (MOD 1.0) from TEA Transmissions, enough for a dual drive 5x5 table with pinions for much less than that, cut to length and drilled to...

hang on a minute, you bumped a thread from #2 or #3 spot on the first page?

Got patience? If you can't wait 24hrs hrs for an answer to an open question, how are you going to go with one that has...

Most using Plasma for signage and art use coreldraw, a vector design and editing program giving you the option to save as DXF.
Another option Is Inkscape which has basically the same features and is...

That's only $12 a foot for different product with a greater thickness.
But as seen above, it is possible without needing to be 1" thick.

I can't really add more than what the others have.

With a larger, heavier gantry the issues of using a stepper too large may be negligible.
With a smaller, lighter nimble gantry using a stepper...

ha ha, calm down? :p

These two lines, which led to your post of men on the moon by bottle rocket.



Completely agree with many living by the "bigger is better" motto, in the case of CNC and...

Ah Bugger! :drowning:
I knew i was missing/misreading something. I thought 10mm was way undersized for what you wanted to do but figured you'd make it work somehow.

I'm used to the "lead" being...

72" is 700rpm for a 19mm screw, we're talking 10mm screws here.
180-200 is the speed for 12g with a HT45. The screws will be spinning at about 500rpm to get to the cut speed, putting the crew right...

Did you only read the first two lines?:stickpoke

I might be reading the chart wrong but isn't the critical distance for a 10mm shaft at 1000rpm shown as being 36"s? (when mounted "rigid/simple")

I'm guessing your screws are @ 54" long between...

Looking good there bud!
Now it's time to dial it in, drop the pierce time and let it cut a little quicker. It and the parts will love it!

for smaller machines, it would be easier.
For a 5x5 and larger it's easier and quicker long term to store below and reuse.
Filling a table via garden hose takes a long time. Time which could be...

The machine you have there is almost the lowest of the lows when it comes to performance. Just stepping up to a hypertherm powermax 45 will yeild impressive results for you without breaking the bank....

Thanks for the info! My machine seems to be identical to the 45 and I was a fan of the method you used. Although it's not quite the same......
Getting parts for it here would be near impossible from...

Seems I jumped the gun with the question.

Can you confirm part/assy 7 is what you used?

Thanks again

G'day Pete,
Mill is looking nice, I've been lurking around in the background for a while now and regaining interest in converting my mill once a couple of other projects requiring it are complete.
...

Without being rude

Step 1 - Search

Step 2 - post question with a decent amount of info.

Failing that I assume you're using mach 3?, if that's the case
see Winegar's thread from here
...

Ooh, nice. I'll be watching this one for sure.
I've started my own build after getting sick of using a mates. I'm waiting till I get started on the actual build before posting but I do like your...

That's excellent, loving the cutting videos.
Is there a reason one of the earlier cuts was the outside profile? I ask because this is usually done last to keep the work piece connected to the work...

Yes both models will work fine however European standards require CE certification which governs certain aspects of the electrical design namely insulation and some component layout.
I believe its...

short answer is yes,
Both your frequency and voltage are compatible.

yeah, can't nrst a part like that too well!

Machines are looking fantastic:cheers:

I've been watching this one. Your build is coming along quite nicely and at a good pace!

I do like your plans for the vacuum in conjunction with the water table. Look forward to seeing how it all...

that's a better view. Must have it over tracked on the first one causing the illusion.

I do like the ideas but i think while you're thinking of channel, you'll be running around in circles with...

I don't believe you can fit a pinion wheel of 50mm dia and mod2.5 rack in a 75mm deep channel with your current design. Also, are you certain your right angle box is to scale?
I do like the idea...

Simply see the correct way above the post you refer to. check the "reverse" box in mach3
The link i gave (to winegars build) has screen shots and all needed to do it correctly, it was found by a...
