About a month ago I purchased a xylotex setup with 6 powermax steppers from an ebay seller called deepgroove and have been pretty pleased with them so far....
I've got a xylotex board running my sherline lathe and I'd like to add single point cnc threading to it's repertoire. As I understand it that requires adding...
Ok....finally got the bugs out of the signup/logon page. You can now register at my site (www.thecarve.net) and get to all the other goodies such as downloads...
Any Pro's/Con's to use a 300w computer power supply to feed at 12v/10Amp and 5v for VCC ? One for each motor? Motors: Slo-Syn Syncronous / Stepper Motor -...
... Many computer power supplies do not provide fully independent outputs at each voltage. They expect the main load to be at 3.3 V or 5 V, and supply lots of...
Thanks, What about a 12v 3amp battery charger to get started ? Still to low of amperage ? Greg ... outputs at ... and supply ... by ... current ... available...
Hi, 12V is OK for testing, but for double the performance you should try to run at 24VDC. 24VDC doubles the speed at which the coils can become charged...
Hi, 3Amps will be fine for testing, however I do not know what kind of filtering a battery charger is going to have. The board wants smooth DC current (no...
Battery chargers usually output pulsating DC. So as Jeff said you will need to add a large value capacitor to smooth things out. Also, VERY IMPORTANT measure...
Can I use one or three of the capacitors you shipped with the boards, or would I be better off with the PC supply for now? Greg ... of ... smooth ... putting a...

Hi, The caps I sell are only 470uF. Not nearly big enough to use with the battery charger. You still DO want to use them (470uF) at the screw terminals though...
The e zone has some threads on how to put loads on the right circuit, If this is new power supply you must put loads on two sets of wires and it will give you...
Why all the hassle? An 18-volt Transformer a Bridge Rectifier and a 20,000uF 50V Capacitor ....a switch and a fuse, Presto a workable brute force power supply...
Your right Cletus, However as I stated to Jeff, I misunderstood the actual function of the capacitor(as a filter), and why it raised the voltage to 35.2v on a...
Hello, I am going to be using slo-syn M092-FD09's 2.5v/4.6amp 3/8" shaft steppers, running a trim router in a 2'x 1'4" x 6" cutting window. X= moving table. Y=...
Hi, I believe most people use single start screw. 8 10 16 and 20 TPI are common for leadscrew and threaded rod. Acme Leadscrew has flat transmission surfaces...
I am using Ballscrews in my application (0.5" dia, 4-TPI) and there is zero backlash as far as I can tell ...they are really nice (I did not buy these, they...
Ahh... tell me more ! 4tpi?, I thought that was a typo when you said that before. That thing must haul some butt!! How do you keep the work from flying off the...
According to the Nook catalog, 3/8-8 2 start acme is 79% efficient, not far from ballscrews. That will also give you the same 4 turns per inch, at a fraction...

Hi, 4.6A motors WILL work with the Xylotex, but with a definite reductuion in performance. 2.5/4.6= ~54%, so you can expect to get just above 50% of the rated...
