Here is my two cents for what its worth. My Sieg X2 conversion using the Xylotex complete system and the CNC fusion kit.

It worked for 3 plus years until I blew up the Xylotex board just a month...

I have owned the Fusion kit for my X2 for over 4 years and love it. Just ripped apart the x and y axis to clean it all up and readjust everything.

No its not perfect but either is my X2. Its has...

I checked all my motors and I am getting 1.2 Ohms from each pin set on each bipolar motor so I guess they are still good to go. I will most likely move up to a more powerful stepper motor anyway and...

Over the past few weeks I have been messing with My Sieg X2 mill upgrading the stand and adding a flood coolant system. The other project was to make a bigger fixture plate so I can hold pieces...

Maybe a little late but I just had the same thing happen. At first I assumed it was the PSU but after disconnecting the board from the PSU, the power supply was running the proper voltage.

seems like you are getting close.

When I first opend my x2 years ago it had a dip in the middle .02. Noticable but I was going to use a jig plate anyway which spanned the gap. It was this way for...

I have some simple 2D items I would like to convert from a vector or raster image directly to Mach3 capable gcode.

That is without having to redraw the shape in a higher end program save it as...

No need to pay for that info as it is freely available on the web

Hope this helps

No one else has any suggestions????

The glue idea is out as I have to do 25 pieces at a time. I do have a sacrificial plate above my jig plate as I have been cutting out holes in similar sized aluminum plate. I will have to see if I...

I am in the process of setting up for a small CNC project where I need to cut two pieces out of 1/2" and 1/4" aluminum. My CNC machine is small a Sig X2 type.

The first piece is an oval plate...

Was in NJ when I bought the X2 we are both in Colorado now. From what I remember it's a crap shoot regarding the table. Some people got perfectly flat tables some didnt. I only found out once I...

Sure if I really wanted to take it to a shop. I guess I could also put it on the new mill and face mill it if I was so inclined. Since it is for producton runs of snall parts the 1/2' thick Jig plate...

Its over. Purchased the new mill.

I decided on a RF-45 clone as suggested here, since if i need to lift the head I don't want to loose my position. I want this to be a precision drill as well as...

I have been to so many sites that I forgot about this one. I shot an email to the sales dept since I do not see a stand whichis a freight only item. I was wondering about that smaller mill which...

After some soul searching and hours of pricing out things, I think I will have to reduce my needs to only a few items.

One I want to stick with a machine which can run off 110V as I have half a...

Thats an interesting mill. But it is kind of expensive. I want a bigger table but I can pass on that size since I will not be needing that much work area. Doesn't look like it has power down so no...

I think I would regret not buying a bigger mill. I have looked at the X3 and variants of it.

I guess I should ask a few more questions. Probably this one has been answered 1,000 times.

I may be wrong but you need two phase AC to use 220v motors. I have seen homes with only one phase coming into the house. I modified my post so others will not be confused.


I do know what I...

The Jet mills are sold with free freight (check amazon) and a power feed model is $2300, except it does not pivot and I believe it was 3 phase. I guess I could look for a 90 Deg adapter instead. I...

A while back I converted a Harbor Freight X2 into a CNC mill. Works great but it is setup for certain production tasks with jigs and as a general shop mill it's not worth breaking down the setup each...

You have a knack for putting people down. It was a simple question I asked the winding coding process.

Not everyone is as great as you and we have to ask questions before we understand. This...

This is a new one on me Excel generating G Code, maybe you can enlighten me on this process?

I hope this what I am looking for, looks like the plugin mentioned by GER21

ampclutz Its a simple answer all of the above. Why build a machine that is limited to one design. I was asking this information so it can be posted on the Music Electronics Forum you and I are both...

We are back to basic G code programing. I am not only asking this question for myself because if I was so smart I would have just gotten a book on G code and tried to learn something new.

I...

For all of you who do not know how a guitar or bass or any instrument pickup is made you wrap a very thin coated wire around a...

First I don't have the winder this was a pre winder build question. Yes the programming is simple which is why it is so hard to do. People create programs to do complicated things. This is not...

I am not here to figure out how to build a CNC winder but find out about the programing. The winder will be build using two steppers

1. This stepper moves a set number of 360 Deg turns CW or CCW...

there is a pci card that works with the xylotex board but off the top of my head I cant remember the brand, worked fine with my dell insperion 6000.
