I am looking for a 90 degree V bit with a 1/4" Shank and 1/2" depth of cut. I can find ones with 7/16" depth of cut but not 1/2". I will be...
Ah...the "Official Way" Followed the link...thanks...and that is just what I was lookin for! Thanks Frank
Thanks Peter. I do have a fan directly on the drivers. But how do I set it to 'not running so hot it cuts out"? Since it seems to me that this...
Check my thinking here: Using the ProV3 controller, NEMA 23 steppers and 24VDC power supply. Stepper Motor data says the rated current/phase is...
That worked perfectly Mark! Thanks. I had to play around with just how to write the macro, but finally figured it out. I haven't set up the test...
I made what I think would be called an anti-backlash nut but want to test it for backlash...of course. It has 0 backlash when new but how long...
Thanks David. I had seen the calibration resource on OB and that's the method I use...works and is quite easy... FK
Another comment... The problem I WAS having is the reason why it is a bad idea to buy a CNC Router knock off from China...unless you are a...
David and Craig: I relocated the X limit switch to the right (X max), set $23 to 0, Y Limit switch was and is at the back and Z was and is at the...
David: Thanks for the reply. If I understand you correctly, the X Limit should be at X Max which is all the way to the right; the Y limit should...
Gary: Should I change the Y home switch to the front left and $23 accordingly? It's difficult to troubleshoot obscure issues like this, but I do...
Gary: Made the stepper and acceleration settings as suggested...still need to recalibrate but I can do that...sounds and acts like a new machine!...
Thanks Gary! Changing the homing to the front left will require relocating the Y homing switch...which I can do. My old machine homed in the...
Since I'm not sure what I'm doing here and my efforts to reverse Y in $23, I set $3=0, then changed coils so that all steppers moved in the...
Thanks Gary...so I don't get confused, I should undo the "Double Negative"...either $3 or swap coil leads, then reverse Y at $23? per the chart? FK
Yes, the issue is along the Y axis so I inverted the Y axis ($3=2) and then reversed the Y axis stepper (and slave) by reversing one of the coil...
Update: "All that glitters is not Gold" Thought I had a solution but was wrong. In the previous post I referenced "$3=11"...should have been...
I THINK I may have found the problem. I got my old CNC out of mothballs and ran the same project on it and guess what...no mirror image. So the...
Thanks Craig...yes all axes go in the correct direction. What confuses me is that the image drawn in Vectric and displayed in UGS are the same...
I'm using Vectric Cut2d and ugs to run my machine. But it cuts a mirror image of what I've drawn in Cut2d. On the UGS screen, the drawing is...
