TADGUNINC@... Does anybody have a good source for inexpensive stepper or servo type motors for table drives? I am trying to incorporate a feed back program with my DRO scale to make a cnc out

Not too likely with arbitrary hardware, unfortunately. It might work if you said 'given this video card, any of these network cards, this type of hardrive and CD', but most people wouldn't know the

Thanks Jon, this was the main response I was looking for. I think this will be the route that I will travel and have a dedicated machine for all machining operations with the Linux/EMC on it, and as

Indeed. See: http://www.opensource.org/halloween.html

This and this are the most important reasons (I think anyway...) Matt mshaver@...

Sure, g-code (or RS-274D for the purists) programs are just text files. Although DOS (and Windows) programs normally create text files with both a carriage return and a line break character at the end

I've been looking for "cheap end" software that I can retrofit an old vertical CNC mill with. My problem is that I don't want it totally canned so I cannot make changes. Also, it needs to have a PLC

Don, Jon and Tim can answer this one better, but yes you can run a Windows CAM program on another computer and then load the resulting G-code into the Linux EMC machine. I did a little bit of this

Actually, the machines I've built have a PC dedicated to the cnc control task, and are be connected to other PCs in the enterprise through the LAN. The main reason for choosing Linux as the OS to host

Dan: A million thanks for explaining it like you did. I will most certainly keep yours, and everyone else's comments in close proximity on this one. From what you said so far, it looks like I may run

I would love to have three of them to use for a servo retrofit on my manual Bridgeport. I've already got amps, and I'm hot on the trail of some surplus servo motors, so this would just about do it.

I have a few Baldwin Model 73 shaft encoders that I pulled off some measuring equipment at work several years ago and it is clear that I will never get around to using them. They are 2-1/2 inch dia.

Don, Linux wasn't really the issue to me. EMC was the program that I wanted. My reasons for wanting to use EMC are this: 1. It can control servos or steppers. You can run servos if you buy a Servo
