Re: programs to write G-code
I have put some programs that write G-Code for common machining operations on my web page. Take a look at http://ascc.artsci.wustl.edu/~jmelson/gcode.html The programs are in C, and I've made them as

Sharp manual wanted
Rather off topic, but with the expertise I see here, I might be asking the right crowd. I bought a couple Sharp PC-1261 pocket computers with the CE-125 cassette recorder and printer at an auction

Re: re vac forming
Mario, I looked in Don Ross's newest book "Flying Models Rubber, CO2, Electric, & Micro Radio" and he has some pictures and explanation about a vacuum forming machine / kit made by Douglas E. Walsh,

Re: Installing rotary encoders
Don't know about Bobcad, but I am using Vector to generate g-code for use in EMC. I have been very pleased with what Vector offers and as I get use to what EMC wants in the way of g-code I am having

Re: MaxNC modifications
Tim, Will have to sit down with my dad and gather up the details, but here's what I can tell you right now. Not sure what you mean by controller, Ah-ha communicates directly with the stepper drivers

Re: re vac forming
Rough pumping can be done with a vacuum, and if you want to achieve higher levels of vacuum, you can make a vacuum pump out of an automotive air conditioning pump. If you have a gage and can tell how

Re: EMC
Dan, Haven't heard any more about your EMC adventures. Have you loaded up the most recent version? Are you using it to make any parts yet? How is it working for you? Tim [Denver, CO]

Re: MaxNC modifications
Jon, I am sure you said, but what are you using for a controller? How many amps are you running to the motors and at what voltage? What is the volt & amp rating of your motors? What is the max feed

Re: New member, something interesting
Dan, Thanks for that info, those are a good deal. Most anyone building a custom machine probably has plenty of room for a 5/8 screw. Still, for smaller machines and for budgets that can't justify
