Hi Jon, I use indeed pretty big steppers maximun holding torque is something like 8.5 Nm, there also hybrid steppers. I don't know the diffenence between hybrid and normal, but the curve (speed vs

Just curious............ Why cant you just space out the linear bearings on the z/y axis' so it will have less of a chance of binding when traversing in the x axis, and drive it from the center with

IMHO the biggest problem with TurboCADCAM is the lack of documentation for the CAM functions AND the just plain s*^&^^y tutorials provided. It may turn out to be a nice product but the sure as heck

Guys, I'm following this subject with great interest. One of the reasons I subscribe to this group, is to learn enough to convert my mill to CNC. I have been fabricating some parts on a mill,

Vector can also generate the G83 from the get go. Depends upon the NC object you are using. It is set up in the EMC configuration. You choose it on the NC Cycle menu. Tim [Denver, CO]

Hi Alan, I've read that you DON'T want to center punch the holes for CNC, although you might want to make light "witness" crosshairs to mark their location. Best would be to always start with a

Hi C.S., Firstly I have a concern about your band saw and mill stands. Although your welds look very good, you still should consider adding braces to the legs! As you raise and lower your saw

On evilBay, these are being sold pretty darn cheap (considering they are out of business I think) Is this a true CAD/CAM software or only CAD?? If only CAD, I think I just wasted 88 bucks

Hi Semih, Congratulations! Have you published your thesis on the web? URL? A quick search for the title didn't find anything. We'd like to read it (I'd need English)! Alan KM6VV Semih Diken

I have a machine with dual y motors and matching them didnt seem to be an issue. I just kept the tuning pots at approx the same place by eye and it works great. I dont think the tuning is that

Alan, Use a spotting drill. Center drills are not good for spotting, too much likelyhood of breaking the tip off in the workpiece especially on imperfect drilling surfaces. If you don't want to

OK, this is totally off topic and I am sure Bill will scold me for it. I am looking for a source of metric sized end mills and ball end mills at a reasonably price. Are there any online suppliers in

Forgive me this seemingly dumb question, but how does a person "drill" accurately placed holes under CNC control without first center-punching them. I currently use a center drill to start the hole (
