Hey Everyone, My wonderful wife blessed me with a new Sherline CNC mill this past Christmas and I'm starting to learn the programming of it. Looking through...
... Hi, Brian: What a wonderful wife to present you with a bundle of joy. What software are you using to draw your parts? You might find that it has an add-in...
Jerry, Yes she is! Presently I'm using SolidEdge to generate the parts. It is a great package to generate models but unfortunately it doesn't have a the...
Hello, I've had my Sherline mill for about 7 years with a 3 axis CNC package from acumotion. Most of my projects in those years have been pretty simple and the...
Joe, I'm using Rhino and had a similar problem. It all comes down to your models. The simpler they are, the more likely a lower cost program can do the job...
Well, my CNC lathe project has finally ruined both ends of a piece of brass 1/4" rod, trying to thread 1/4-20 threads. This is progress! Until tonight, all I...
... of ... Snippage ... Now you know why we used a quadrature encoder for our DeskCNC threading implementation. It has 2000 counts per spindle rev and will ...
Thanks for the input, Fred. I gather the DeskCNC implementation will only work with DeskCNC and their controller? I own DeskCNC but have only used it as a...
Where is a good place to get videos on how to go about making gcode fro these programs? sorins has good videos but it just dont go into detail on these ...
Brian, Although Sorin's videos are a good start for BobCAD, I ended up purchasing the training CD's for version 21 and 22. I'm currently running 21, haven't ...
are there more than one type of g-code? im antempting to make a bracket for a compund bow arrowrest. i can draw the part and inter my tool info and get my...
G-code is a very non-standard standard. Some code will work perfectly on 1 controller, and be full of errors on another. G00 and G01 are standard and mean the...
heres a drawing. i couldnt find my other file . i just redid my computer and i have my data on 5 different harddrives right now. i just drew something up to...
Brian, If you care to email me your part and what you would like to do with it (profile, spot drill, drill, pocket etc) off-list I can certainly take a look at...
... will ... You will need a DeskCNC controller card in addition to the DeskCNC software. There is a plug on the card for a Quadrature encoder with index...
I finally finished the the Semiautomatic PCB Drilling Machine construction project I'm working on, documented at: http://www.philmattison.com/ On the menu go...
Since I've had only one reply, and it essentially said "you can't get there from here", I have to ask. Is anyone successfully threading on a CNC Sherline...
Hi Bob, ... So far, I've only done it as needed. I started a 3/8-24 in brass under CNC, but finished it off using a regular die. Because you can only take...
Thanks, Dave, My real goal here is not 1/4-20 bolts, it's things you can't buy dies for. Mainly camera filter type threads that are, say 2" diameter but very...
Hi Bob:
I can see why you would want that feature, but I am not sure how you could think it was "the purpose of the CNC program". There are many hobby CNC...
Bob I have threaded quite a few times with my sherline lathe, using Turbocnc. I have sherline steppers installed, with less than perfect drivers. anyway,...
Thanks for your input, Andy. A couple of replies inline.... ... could think it was "the purpose of the CNC program". There are many hobby CNC machines that...
Thanks, Dan, I switched from TurboCNC to Mach3 about 6 months ago, and currently don't have a DOS or Win98 computer to try this on. But your higher motor...
07 Jan 2008 Hi Montana; I have yet to try CNC threads on my Sherline lathe; however I did buy the manual threading system from Sherline and have used it a...
Objective: I am trying to engrave the outer surface of a 4 inch long brass rod that is 0.25" in diameter. Setup: I have a Sherline mill with 4-axis stepper...
