Setup for this function is quite easy. I can guarantee square every time. I used to service and maintain CNC machines for the SoCal aerospace...
Hardware: Arduino Mega2560 BTT RAMPS 1.6 Plus daughterboard DRV8825 stepper drivers - heatsinked and set for 2 amps Software:...
Even though previously it has been commented that it is not necessary to have independently homed Y axes, I went and installed the second Ymin...
[ATTACH] I decided to take a walk on the wild side tonight with some 1/8" aluminum. Put in a 1/4", four tooth end mill. Mounted my drill press...
Thank you. On the first pass, I noticed some pattern rippling on one side. Found that there was a paper thin gap between the lower X gantry C-beam...
The promised video decking down the spoilboard. Lead 1010 - High Z option - HY 1.5kW water cooled spindle - 12 kRPM - 25.4mm flycutter - 0.2 mm...
First pass spoilboard decking down. The spoilboards are Rubbermaid 10" shelf units. They were cheaper to purchase than the same bare board from...
When I do the decking down on spoilboard, the contrast between the white and the particle board will make a great contrast. I will get some video...
fixed.
The picture shows no tool in the collet. I now have a 1" flycutter in there to level the spoilboard (next assignment). The bootie works just fine....
Some more spindle porn..... 1.5 kW, water cooled, 24k RPM, ER-11 collet size (1/4" shank), High Z kit. Added camera for positioning. Turned the...
I moved the x-axis screw on mine from the top to the bottom rail. The idea is better and reduces the length of the moment arms present. I will...
I agree here as this would also minimize tilt in the x-axis and I will make the move of the x-axis screw to the lower gantry. To this point, I...
I built my own extraction system for it. Getting rid of the router and going with the spindle killed much of the noise. The only way the vacuum...
Anytime the brushes are replaced on an electric motor, the commutator or slip rings need to be checked for grooving, edge burning, pitting, uneven...
I put on the High Z mod onto my 1010 build. I mounted the top rail with all of the angle brackets tightened down. My friend throughout the build...
I have a mod idea to the Z-axis actuator in mind to support my spindle. I have it worked out on paper but I have one question left. My plan uses a...
Thank you for the advice. I was thinking of the same thing but I wanted verification. 800 watts will allow for milling aluminum at slow, sane...
I am stuck in a "if not this, what about this" issue with this mod. I have the configuration modifications done on paper for the z-axis movement...
I thank you for the reply. I beg to differ on leadscrew tracking. Closed loop control compensates but you have none on open loop and steppers...
