... rigidity, you have two rotary joints (that's always bad) with gears and the associated backlash, you also have relatively low torque because the gear ratio...
... Got to disagree, I just stripped one of mine. Removing the existing 12V motors and their gearboxes, there is a high quality and very substantial steel ring...
... Compared to sticking the same motor on a ballscrew the mechanical advantage will be tiny, your 250oz-in motor on the ballscrew then tries to push the...
Hello all,New member here. I have spent quite a while looking for some sort of cam software to use for my upcoming 4 axis Sieg x3 mill conversion. Being a...

"Where can I get extra long 3mm and 6mm bullnose cutters, for cutting foam." I'll probably regret answering this but here goes anyway... For cutting foam, I...
... No way, excellent post! Makes me wonder about building a CNC tool grinder, one rotary table, one linear and a slow turning "spindle", then a drememl with...
... Hello, Have you ever looked into Gundrill Tooling... You might be able t0 modify those types of drill to meet your needs. It's just a thought. They look...
hallo my name is evans. i'm from indonesia. and now i live in germany for study. i have some question, maybe it's dumb question for you. i have build 3d cnc...
The cam program (such as the toolkit) needs to know what kind of 5-axis mill you have. In the toolkit there are some radio-buttons to select the configuration...
in example i use 5Axis Gantry Router type. i shuold choose 5 axis:XYZBC? and how to define the offset? and the configuration at nc software for the step per...

Dear All: I would like to ask someonce can tell me how to get the cnctoolkit for try, because I take a look of the GROUPS Files, I cannot find the Kit for try....
I am working with an artist who does his designing in 3d max. We are having trouble converting the .3ds files to something that our CAM system (Gibbs) can...
Chris, Check to see if Gibbs will take dxf. I though dxf was a std file for transfer to most any cad system. I am pretty sure max will output dxf but since I...
We have tried the dxf. It comes across as a wire frame. We tried a stl file exported from max and it came across as facets which were too coarse for the ...
Noooooo.......I can barely turn a computer on! Rab wrote the software and it is a cam package for up to 5 full axis. Typically the stl files I have seen are...

If anyone is interested I have a 5 axis head like Rabs for sale. Comes with 2 270oz/in Nema23 steppers mounted. Has a plate for mounting to a standard Z axis....
Hi every one, i find myself with some spare time at the moment so am designing a new kind of cnc machine, it has a usable machining size of 80ft by 16ft and by...
I have an image in 3ds max that I have made a toolpath etc for. When I export the toolpath in g code to my machining file I only get a part of the toolpath...
I have a full version of mach2. The g code is about 5000 lines that goes across to it but that is only a part of the item that I wish to machine. Regards David...
