It's a pan that I made up. I used marine grade plywood but I could likely have used just about any good quality plywood. I primed it well and then painted all...
I hadn't thought about coolant getting into the steppers; I was more concerned about the wiring. But I think you raise an interesting point. Maybe that will be...
David, A few questions about your very fine coolant system. A water based coolant? Is there a rust inhibitor in it? Could one put some gasket material on the...
Don't know if there is a rust inhibitor - everything I cut is brass, aluminum or plastic and nothing much to rust on the mill. So far the lead screws show no...
Hello David, ... There is already a hole in the bottom of the older mounts. X and Y were different parts. I swapped my x and y cones so that the holes are on...
Hi Dave, I'll be interested to hear if you ever start having problems with the plywood sink developing leaks. I understand if you might be reluctant to mention...
It's not so much temperature extremes but rather the moisture extremes. Here in B.C., we have plenty of issues with that. Plywood is one of the most...
I did a little followup reading on the plywood. I used marine plywood. Here is a very good link on marine plywood and its use in boat construction. Remember,...
... The Sherline endmill holder for the 3/8" (and presumably I could get ... IMService had been distributing the hi-tech quick switchers earlier this year. We...
Hi Eddie, you can post a pix in the photos section; let me know if you have any problems. Rather then run your project part code, perhaps you can write a few ...
I don't actually own a Sherline yet but I am looking into closed loop spindle RPM control. Can someone outline in broad strokes how the Sheline spindle motor ...
Both I use Mach3 now. I want to update my setup to do spindle on\off and RPM. I already have the g-code in the program. If I were to get the sherline spindle...
Hi, Have a look at the DigiSpeed-SL. It is designed to work with Mach3, fits into the Sherline DC motor controller enclosure and accepts the Sherline index...
There is no spindle on/off electromagnetic relay on your board? The enable line stops power to the spindle motor, so I can do a manual tool change with a fair...
On the Sherline control (actually KB Electronics) there is a 2 pin connector. This is the INHIBIT control. It disables the output. Shorting these two pins with...
hello everybody, does anybody have any mach3 gcode of the angle plate for a rotory table they could send me? or the tilting angle plate would do just fine. i...
Brian, I am a BobCAD 21 user also. I can try to help where I can, but I am a novice also. I am mainly doing 2 1/2D work right now, not got into 3D stuff yet....
Hi, Q1. Can anyone tell me where or how I can get a 90v DC power supply for a Sherline spindle motor? The highest I can find on Google seem to be 48v. It's to...
Gerry, the Sherline spindle motor is powered and controlled by the electronics contained in the box attached to the head. If you do not have this then a...
... 04 Nov 2007 Hi Gerry; The power supply that Sherline uses is a KB Electronics SCR Control which is similar to their power supply Model No. KBIC 240DS. You...
michael, i drawing part is simple . i cant figure out how to make the gcode when im done with the drawing.i know it has something to do with the nc-cam . i...
Peter, I've been meaning to write you for a few months now about the Digispeed controller. I've been reading the manual dated 7/16/07 regarding the Minidin...
Rodger, Did a quick check on that device. Seems it has FTP and NFS. To use the files on your linux, you could mount it as a drive, eg: mkdir /NAS mount...
Brian, The book is confusing as all get out. I bought the 10-cd training set when I ordered my software. It is an investment, but worth the price in ...
Rich & Robert, Thanks much for pointing me to the specific info I need. Because I've no background in electronics I still need to get my head around one thing....
Thanks Geert, I just tried that... Making the directory went fine of course, but when attempting to mount the connection is refused. More research needed. I...
Brian if you have a dxf for your drawing post it or email it, I'll try to generate the Gcode for you. DXF must be Autocad 12 up to 2005 A year ago I converted...
