Re: toolpath creation problem or wrong interpretor setup?
Hi Tim, Jim, Yeah, like the 7BA carbon steal tap (from England) I just broke! And I was being nice to it! I'm milling the cylinder for a Stuart steam engine. I decided to also mill a "practice"

Re: Keyboard wiring?
I am using one of these and like it. It is mounted up at head height so there are virtually no hot chips getting to it. It is a little funny to type on and I would not want to use it on a system that

Re: Drill press & cross-slide vice
ditto ! I did that to my old, origional drill press. I used brass screws with wingnuts to let me lock in the spindle. I tried milling with a cross slide vice. I was able to take cuts as deep as

Re: Keyboard wiring?
Steer clear of these keyboards. They are made of a very thin membrane and just one hot chip can burn thru them. Also they are very wobbly when typing. It's like trying to have sex standing up on a

Re: Keyboard wiring?
Radio Shack has a flexible spill-proof keyboard (you can even roll it up) for about $35.00. Mount it on a panel with double-sided tape and you're set. Regards, JJ Be Kind, Be Careful, Be

Re: toolpath creation problem or wrong interpretor setup?CODE SAMPLE INCLUDED

Re: toolpath creation problem or wrong interpretor setup?CODE SAMPLE INCLUDED
Yeah, somehow the accel rate got misconfigured and I had to redo motor tuning. Deceleration on the Y axis was a little lower than the X and Y couldnt keep up.Hence the odd rapid Z safe move to the

Ah-ha and a couple of others have plug and play units. Building your own is not that hard. I could break out my cnc router plans and give you all the information that you would need to build your

Re: Drill press & cross-slide vice
I pulled out my quill, drilled and tapped two 10-24 holes pointing toward the quill, one from the front, one from the side. Inserted two brass screws with nuts to lock them down, and reduced the play

Re: Has anyone built an SPC display for Digimatic scales?
Not at all. Membrane switches ARE momentary. The reason I wanted to use membrane switches is that I figured they would be more oil and chip resistant. The idea of of making my own did occur to me

Yes, that's what we did about 10 years ago. The weekest spot is an overlay - has to be lexan. Regards, Alex

Re: Keyboard wiring?
Thanks for the links, both are a little outside my price range. I'll probably just dig up an old keyboard and out the parts I need, since the chips inside sell for $40+ seperately. John
