Bryan, You can use a stepper motor with a double shaft. You then can put a knob or crank on the shaft. Please look at www.homeshopcncn.com for ball screws that...
I don't know what this means. I'm only aware of kits from places like Hiwin and Rockford. Are these what you mean by "ready made"? I can't see any description...
Unless you have experiences how to set them straight for each axis and align them perpendicularly, I suggest buying them ready made will cut off all the...

hello all i am looking for a way to have a dro that would be 12 volt does any body know how i can do this i could use scale or encoder feed back thanks RICK...
Problem solved. Yes, Choicecad was expecting a predefined function. When you choose a drawing function from menu, you have to press "C" before you enter the...
If it's anything like AutoCAD, you'd enter 20,4 where 20 is the X coordinate and 4 is the Y cooradinate separated by a comma. It appears the ChioceCAD is...
I have a copy of ChoiceCad on an old laptop which I use occasionally. Not used it for a couple of years now. When I tried to start a drawing today I cannot get...
Hi Chuck, Go ahead and try one of the machines with integrated graphics, it will most likely work but there's no guarantee as some systems mess with the high ...
I recently bot a mini grizzly converted to cnc and xylotex controller, and have a computer question. how critical is the separate video card for running...
I somewhat, kind of agree. Based on my experiences with a chinese 7x and a heavier commercial 12x. What where your experiences with Sherline shortcomings ? ...
The big issue I see is needing to convert the mill to take the ISO15 toolholders. What exactly does this entail? Do you have to make a new spindle, or does...
I noticed that in most of those videos the tool changer was mounted on a Sherline mill. I tried for a while to use a Sherline for production work, but found...
I don't see a problem with that. It's not the point of the demo. What's more surprising to me is the really poor response to the videos on this forum. I...
I have to wonder why the changed tools are never shown actually coming into contact with the work piece. Could it be that the tool immediately flies accross...
Gee, they work really well. Very fast too. I'm surprised the tools don't go flying across the room. Roland 2009/11/18 onecooltoolfool <joevicar3@...>...
... I find that a bit hard to believe, that flipping switches will destroy the board. But, maybe they plugged it into the wrong kind of board slot, plugged the...
That's great advice for steel- unfortunately AFAIK PCB's are usually clad in copper. Copper is soft and cuts fairly easily but work hardens severely if you...
I have retrofitted about 10 of the techno Esel 48X52 routers . Seven of them were stepper systems and 3 were servos. The G320 will work great with the stock...
The plan is good. The servos either will work with geckos, or not. If not, they will be worthless to you. Commercial servo drives that will work with the...
