Hey everyone!
I have a red/cam benchtop cnc milling machine. I use mach 3 with it. I have had it for about a year now and have made some cool stuff but this machine does have its share of problems. It seems to have accuracy issues, and it doesn't seem to be able to take very big depths of cut. From what I have researched these were both common problems with these. What I am looking into is upgrading this machine to fix those problems. My obvious first step it to take it apart and see what I have in terms of lead screws and servos. My question is, there is sooo much information out there and I don't know where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction of what servos to look into? Will upgrading the servos even eliminate my current issues? Its either I upgrade this machine if its possible, or buy a new machine and sell this one. I just like how this machine is very rigid compared to some of the others I've seen and I like the bed size.
Thanks for any information!
