Re: Compact R-8 spindle on eBay
Thanks for the heads up Jon. The guy that is selling this spindle has
several things that the group might be interested in like stepper motors,
ball screws, and a servo motor with an encoder.

Re: Help with Kaluga/Mauch DRO card
Hi Joe,
No driver to install, but I believe the address jumper on the board

Re: DynaCADD ???
I have never used it but have seen it on ebay a few times. I don't think

Re: DynaCADD ???
Hi Mike,
How about letting us know what you think of the program after you

Re: Ideas for matching drives on a YY axis design?
I have seen quite a few gantry drives with one screw down the center under

Re: Dumb question on the drilling of holes
You are only prompted once for each time you hit the generate code button.
So if you have selected a bunch of points at once you will only get one

Re: Dumb question on the drilling of holes
Hi Tim,
That's true, I might have to take a peek at EMC's config! However, I'm
not sure I want to answer the Z, R, Q, P parms for EACH hole! I just

Re: Dumb question on the drilling of holes
Tim,
I'm pretty familiar with reaming holes for proper fit, but the holes
I'm talking about, are sometimes so misshapen, they almost look triangular.
They're 1/4" holes, and I've even tried
