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

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

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.
