Well I was kinda thinking of manufacturing my own PCB with my routy and add it to the builds as a 4-axis controller board. We'll see, still dealing...
I have a dual-boot with winXP/mach3 and Ubuntu/Linuxcnc. I used windows/mach3 one time to test my parallel port and then never again. One major...
Well I don't use Mach3 but in Linuxcnc there's a tool table where you set the tool length. I don't have any builds worth mentioning.
My motors stall at anything faster than 1500. It all depends on your controller board+motors. I don't have plastic on my acrylic but it doesn't...
Look what I found: http://www.ecomorder.com/techref/ecomprice.asp?p=416074 I'd like to try to make my own board based off this design. It looks like...
Haha, yeah with wood try 800mm/min and cut depth of 1mm. Acrylic is "special" like aluminum, brass, etc. You could try 0.5mm for really clean edges....
This is the same for all machines. Some people have a conductive plate that the machine touches with the tool-tip and then automatically calculate...
It's working with 200mm/min, 20% plunge rate, 0.0762mm cut depth. This is 1/2" plexiglass, so it's probably the "plastic with glass" type listed in...
Well I'm all for freedom of choice and if that's what you like then by all means... When you save to a format that is incompatible with any other...
Thanks, that's what I need. I had seen the Jacobs chucks and was thinking I'd have to go to a machine shop and have a bolt lathed.
Yes but I need a round shaft 1/4" diameter
I've been really pleased with LinuxCNC+TB6560. If you can find a better documented board then get it. Someone mentioned the TB6600 but I have no...
Does anyone know where to get a drill chuck with a straight shank suitable for mounting in an ER16 collet? I think I can hold a 1/4" shaft, but I am...
Funny, my feedrate is set to 500mm/min(20ipm) and my cut depth is 1mm(0.04in). They suggest 0.003"(0.0762mm). I think my leadscrew pitch is wrong so...
Acrylic is harder than wood. I use a 2 flute solid carbide 1/4" bit. At first I cut some foam but it sucked. Then I did wood and it looked great....
You can enable microstepping to smooth out the motion. You sacrifice holding torque though. The acceleration is totally programmable on the driver....
It probably doesn't matter what you use. I don't have access to anything that can cut steel and garolite is expensive here so aluminum is my choice.
Yeah well sketchy doesn't run on my machine so it's a moot point for me. I found way better tools anyway. The only problem I have is converting the...
Dude, I have the same motors and mine can produce enough force to bend the gantry, strip the belts, etc. I had a nightmare cutting aluminum because...
I have no idea... The spec sheet says -1 to 2 V and nothing about the resistance... WTF? Maybe you can make sense of it...
