Re: Pre-wired drive unit
I've built a few for people have found it to be VERY time consuming to wire up. HOPING that there may be a market for such a thing and with some interest from a few people already, I'm nearing

Re: Stepper motor speeds
It is not as easy as just looking at a particular metal and getting a required speed and cutting force. As an example, if I cut a piece of aluminum on my Bridgeport with a 1-1/2" 4 flute carbide

Re: Stepper motor speeds
Dave, Thanks for the information, and the reference to Mariss's message. I can understand most of it, but his reference to "push" has me a little confused. The formula for "push" is clear

Re: Polar Coordinates CNC?
Ken, Here is one reason; it's called necessity :-) I wanted to make some decorative wooden gears that appeared to be too big to do on the Sherline. But, by mounting the blank on the rotary, I

Re: Has anyone built an SPC display for Digimatic scales?
Umm, well sort of. I have a partial schematic but it's not complete. I'm using an Atmel ATMega8 MCU to decode the data stream and display the numbers on an LCD. The type of switches doesn't really

Re: Question Concerning API CMD-260 Drive Current Setting
Not sure of the exact motors you are using, but if it is the same Powermax II motors I have on my Sherline than the 2.3 amps is the setting without any additional reduction if you want the

Re: Polar Coordinates CNC?
The application would be the same as any other - i.e. router/plasma application (4'x8' as practical size for discussion purposes). I would think that Linear moves in polar space would be roughly the

Re: Polar Coordinates CNC?
Interesting idea ... but why? It seems to me the particulars of the math involved would not make arriving at the end use coordinates any easier. Do you have a particular application in mind? I'm just

Re: Stepper motor speeds
Marv, Now sure what you are saying by "I haven't heard any discussions about speed ranges and how they're controlled.". Speed is controlled by how fast you feed your drive pulses. The higher the

Hi MArv, check post 45509. I think that covers it pretty well. The small section that may be direct is : quote : (2) Steppers have lots of torque at low speeds and very little torque at high
