Nothing to do with CNC ... I'm a desk jockey

I'm building my machine purely as a hobby.

Someone asked me recently if I am building a machine because I need it or bacause I want to build it.... Good question!

I am really pleased with progress so far and it is entirely scratch built ... not the fastest way of doing things but great for learning.

That's why I was wondering about where Tera_bit lives. I am happy to share and face to face is always much easier.

Yourself ?

I have been considering a CNC project for a while, no real reason to build one other than interest alone. For all that, I have only just stumbled on this site.

Now - I think I will go the Jgro design for the first CNC, and hopefully use that to make some better parts for the next etc... MDF seems to be the go for the first one.

Anybody in Sydney here ?

I have a fair bit of work to do before I can start on this thing.

1. Build work bench.
2. Attach my circular saw to work bench.. ala bench saw.
3. Purchase drill press.

Although it may be cheaper to get somebody to cut the wood components for me instead of making a bench saw - I shall have to see.

I have found one supplier in Melbourne for the stepper motors, couplings and ball screws but will look around to see where I can save. A sydney based supplier would be better - the motors are fairly heavy.

I plan on building this gradually over several months, partly to spread the cost but mainly to ensure I take the time to make each component as well as I can.

This looks to be a lot of fun

My plan is to use the CNC to launch a number of other hobbies - if it works

Hey guys/gals,

Im Eric 22 from Sydney,

4th year apprentice in the fitter/turner trade, Trying to gain a lot of insight/knowledge into the programming of cnc machines. Our factory has 2 Hardinge machines running fanuc controls, 3 emco, 3 nomura and 1 cincom citizen cnc lathes, and 2 dynamyte 4400 running mitsubish meldas controls and 2 dynamyte 2400 milling machines...

Glad to have found this site lots of it relates to my trade/apprenticeship.


Regards,
Eric.

Trigger here from Brisbane, 44 year old CNC machinist with experience of fanucs,G code programming and mastercam software,my company has just bought a haas lathe and mill,thats how I came about this site.

Excellent forum and looking forward to finding out more about haas quick code and onecnc software

Nice to see there is an Aussie forum for us all to chat with each other....especially as I'm a pom.


Stands back and waits for abuse!!! (chair)

Welcome Zedzero, you will only get abuse if you are a "wingeing" one. ( Only people from Oz would understand that)

Hi. my name is Rhino, i live in Brisbane, am 24 years old and have been out of my time for 2 years. im mad keen on cnc's and want to build my own(miill and lathe - but probably mill first). i have drawn up some sketches. i want to cut steel and only steel can someone tell me what kind of steppers or servo's would be appropriate for my appliication?

[Celtichawk]

Hi all,

Just found out there is a downunder group on here.
Bayside Brisbane, have 7x14 lathe and CNCed micromill.

Off to read the rest of the messages, expecting to learn something

Hi guys,
I'm from Hamilton, Western Victoria. Cabinet Maker. Looking at putting together a cheap CNC router to do precision drilling of repetitive components. Peg holes, hinge holes, drawer slide mounting holes in kitchen cupboard panels.
Jgro is what I am looking at for the moment. No probs with putting together the frame, slides etc. of the machine. Totally lost with what steppers I should use, what controller etc. I'm doing this on a shoe-string budget and want to try and purchase most components on ebay etc.

:cheers:

[Fodder1]

Hi there.

the steppers you can use are out of the HP LASER JET 3 printers.

these are 100oz steppers, middle of the road stuff.
You can buy the working or not working printers at just about any second hand computer store or even at the markets.

I was using the Linisteppers as the driver boards for my Jgro mill. But, no fault of the design, they wouldnt work. I would suggest the Hobby cnc board. I just brought one from the states, 5 days and it was here.
I have stuff all skill at soldering and the board worked first time. Instructions are great and for $75us, i think they are cheap.

PM me if you need any more info.

[Fine-fit]

Thanks for that. Just wondering if any other printers use a similar sizer stepper? Or maybe even a photo-copier? I have seen a few of these lying around?

TD

[Fodder1]

Fine-fit,

Not that i know of. the HP LJ 4 uses a *really* small motor.
I dont know of anything about photocopiers, but they are bond to have some big ger mototrs in them. As to if they will work in this type of thing. Sorry dont know.
