On hold right now, will order Y-axis rails end of October and expect them in 3-4 weeks after that. In the meantime, I am going to try and machine...
I have a dial indicator, .001 increments, so that is a plus. Yes, that could be a problem, I have never run at high speeds because most of my...
My error. The X-axis is 15mm, Y (I still have to order), which currently I am thinking 15mm as well, and Z will have 12mm. As best I can tell...
The more I thought about the columns and the spindle weight. I think that keeping the carriages spaced as they are, but getting rid of the angle...
The X and Y-axis will have 25mm rails with 2 carriages per rail. The Z-axis will have 20mm rails with two carriages on each rail as well, of...
I found something I could use if I wanted to switch over to Gerble and an Arduino, it has the ability to add a TLO, but I am not proceeding in...
Rob, you said earlier "I'm not sure- a member who was building back in the day with steel wheels might have an idea-" WireMonkey and M90 Ranger...
This is for anyone. The machine's purpose is to machine wood and rarely some light metals. I am trying to use linear rails on my Y-axis and on...
You certainly know how to take the wind out of the sails, :( but that was a concern of mine as well, just looked like a cheaper way to go and I...
Went there, and found I could download the files, at no charge and was extremely helpful, thank you, Peter.
Rob, After much thought, I am going to use 4 C-Beams for the X-axis, 2 x 2 configuration. I think this will stiffen X in both the Y and Z...
As many know Mach 3 is limited to 5 inputs. I use mine for E-Stop, Probe, Z home, X home, and Y home. My previous machine was a Gatton design...
Additional information on STEP files, A common question our community asks us is: can you import STEP files into Fusion 360? The answer is, yes...
I found the Fusion one but it only had a few items in it, I think I tried using the Step items but somehow it did not work, that was many months...
I finally found a Fusion 360 design of the extrusion of the C-beam. I am looking for some very inexpensive sources of Fusion functional...
Working with Fusion 360 is not a strong suit for me, but this gives a[ATTACH] general idea of what I am thinking about the X-axis. C-Beam on top...
Rob, Your machine is massive and looks so very solid. It is obvious that not only do you do great work, but you are knowledgable and dedicated to...
Again much information that I will certainly consider. I have a lot of designing to do before I do anything. I got the original lead screws from...
I reviewed your response and went and took a look at the machine. I removed the spindle and as you predicted, the shimmying stopped, at least...
