Re: Bridgeport Series II CNC specifications
Peter Moreton
I looked seriously into buying one these CNC bridgeports; speaking to
engineers who work on them, it transpires that the motor unit / head splits down quite easily, and allows the machine to be rolled on steel rods under a standard garage door height. Be careful about the weight though, it's a scary thing to move on an inadequate crane. In the end I bought a non-CNC series 1, and some stepper motors and other gubbins to give me CNC control.

Gecko drives in a CNC application. The magazine can usually be found at Barnes and Noble or you can download the article from their web site at www.circellar.com.

The closest thing would seem to be the Hobby show at the International Center in T.O. Nov 8-9-10. The Toronto Miniature Engineering club is _always_ there with their projects and last year (?) there was a couple small home made CNC rigs. BTW, the scale Ferrari built in Meccano was pretty cool also......;'> Iain Lloyd Leung wrote:

Re: Drill press & cross-slide vice
turbulatordude
Of you are intent on this approach you will find that cheap drill
presses not only have crappy bearings, but the spindle is not stiff. The rack and pinion gear that drives the spindle is very very sloppy, and there is no adjustment. that pretty much eleminates that from being a part of the CNC. unless you can figure out how to compensate for a backlash of something over an eight of an inch. for drilling, you have a chance, and if you do very light loads, you can make a cutter stabilizer to take the side loads. not complicated or too hard if you have access to a lathe or mill. and last but not least is the machine ridigity. with only a very slight pressure drilling with a 1/16 drill into aluminum, you can visually see the machine flex. The XY tables for $110 are a great start, a trim router for another $50-100 is getting much better and then buliding a fixed mount for the router on a plunging Z axis is not too hard or expensive. Of the 4 HF el-cheapo drill presses ($39 to 49) I have one that the chuck falls out of regularly, but the bearing and spindle are decent. I have one that the lower bearing is not seated. the bore is too big and the bearing slips. I have one that the spindle is noticbly sloppy in that you can feel the play. the last one is 10 years old and is not a valid unit for review. Dave --- In CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO@y..., Dave Dillabough <dgd@b...> wrote: Another issue is that most drill press spindles use a taper tomount the chuck.

VirtualMill 4.0 and Rhino3D
Does anyone have experience with Rhino3D and VirtualMill 4.0? How well
do they work together? The demo version of VM does not allow you to save your work and the imported images from Rhino vary a bit. Since I am unable to cut anything using the VM demo, I would like to hear from those who have experience with these 2 software packages before I invest $995.00. Also I am interested in a good book that teaches G-code for a newbe with a limited IQ...please nothing heavy duty that requires prior knowledge. Thanks Dennis |
Matsuri 5V schematic and parts
I am requesting information for a friend that has recently purchased a
Matsuri 5V from an auction. He has paid for the software package, however the machine did not come with a 3d key...as a result he is unable to operate in the 3d mode. His interest is to add a 4 axis and would be interested in hearing from others who have this machine - an electrical schematic would also be of great interest. Please e-mail him at Twollesen@.... Thanks Dennis |

It is a very well know program equivalent to Norton, and McAfee. Also there is a email letter you can sign up for that will keep you informed of all the new crap that is being aimed at you.
