Earlier this week I launched a new software product for CNC enthusiasts on the Mach3 group. For those that don't subscribe there or may have missed it here are the details. I created a utility which

Mike, I've had pictures up for a long time. Most of the pics are of the first machine. You've probably looked at it -- I saw my URL go past as part of this thread. Here is a place to start:

No, HERE's the link: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ih/doc/stepper/others/ Time for a weekend of woodworking and barbequed dead things, I think. Later.

Normally, I just go to the manufacturer's website. Unless the motors are truly ancient, they usually have a manual online. The one I had trouble with was manufactured by Oriental Motors under an OEM

It's a D-size plotter. I am wondering what to do with it, but it is too cool not to use for something. ________________________________________ Andy Wander

Cool! Could you post some pics somewhere? Mike Carl Mikkelsen wrote:

No, I didn't have any problems with the encoder wiring. The ground pin was easy to find as it was connected to the ground plane and thus all the mounting screws. I guessed that power would be

Someone in this thread suggested that a hexapod would be difficult for homebrew construction. I built my hexapod (two now) because it was easier to homebrew. Why is it easier? For me, it was

All of this talk of water jet cutters and occasionally lasers led me to this website. http://www.plasmacam.com/ Apparently you're supposed to buy your own plasma torch, but in any case, it's a very

Rick: I have a 4699A hp plotter that doesn't work, that somebody trash-picked and gave to me. I want to start fooling around with it and see if I can make something useful out of it. Did you have

Too true! I apologize if I came off that way. It was not my intention to be dismissive. I worded it very badly, it seems. And I'm sorry. Thank You all for your indulgence and thoughtful responses!

Hi John, Unfortunately SheetCam can't do that. There is a text wizard available for Mach that does pretty much what you want. Alternatively have a look at DesignCad Express from

Hi Les, Thanks for the info. I have a little project that requires MACH2/3 to engrave a serial # onto a PCB board. The system will work as follows: MACH moves table to the first circuit board on a

Hi John, SheetCam is a CAM package so it takes your drawing, works out the toolpaths, cut order etc then generates G-code for Mach to cut. For instance say you draw a 1" square. You could load that

I See from the web site that the registration tab can include MACH2. So why would someone need sheetcam if they have MACH2/3? John Dammeyer

both buy That is such a huge difference in applications. Engraving plastic labels is a 10 to 20 watt job, Cutting steel is a 200+ watt job. 10 to 20 watt lasers can be found new for under $3000 US.

SheetCam <www.sheetcam.com> can do this at a much lower price. I can write a post processor for you that will slow down to a preset percentage of the normal feed rate on arcs. The post could even be
