Re: Can a PC operate a BOSS 5 or 6? (and a question)
I have problem with Z steps on my micro mill. After rechecking and testing everything electrical and mechanical, found that problem was with backslash compensation(I'm using TurboCNC). I put zero

Re: foam cutting current ?
I was thinking to put power on the clips and use a heavy enough gauge copper to make the resistance much less than the resistance wire. The control circuit would pump current through the wire and

Jon, The large-scale calibration is fairly well covered by the simulated annealing method of estimating the systematic error parameters. This discussion grew out of concerns about quantization,

Re: Can a PC operate a BOSS 5 or 6? (and a question)
If you can easily move the quill up and down you probably don't have a problem. Most commercial retrofits use around 400 - 500 oz-in continuous torque rated motors. Those motors are 170 oz-in

Re: foam cutting current ?
I use nichrome wire from the hobby store with spring tension, a 12v transformer and a light dimmer. I've found that when cutting, the foam draws heat from the wire so the temperature (and therefore

The coefficient of resistance wire isn't as linear as platinum but it's stable. You can design the current regulator to maintain a set temperature once you've calibrated it. Come to think of it, this
