Re: DRO boards
Wow, 15-16 bucks for the board? That's pretty good. The encoder chips from US Digital are only $23 each, the 74LS138's are less than 50 cents, as are the capacitors, and sockets aren't too

Re: DRO boards
If you're interested, you can dig through the list archives (I don't have a good enough memory to summarize it all ;). I can answer the encoder question though. The board will work with rotary or

Re: DRO boards
Yes, you're right about that. One option is to try out the system with the USD encoders, then upgrade to a high-resolution version from somewhere like Heidenhain or similar. I have seen just the

Re: Lap Top Computer as CNC Controller
Lap tops have funny grounding. If you use the parallel port you may run into problems. usually a 486-66 is plenty computer for most home cnc programs. Dan

Re: DRO boards
Tom , From what I can see of this project using the US Digital Linear strips is the best option. I would like to use one for a lathe application but bearing in mind that you need 1/2 switching even

Lap Top Computer as CNC Controller
I'm lurking trying to learn about homemade DROs and CNC to see if I want to modify my Millrite. Would a Lap Top Pentium be a suitable machine for this application? I have a very small shop and a lap

Low tech bearing types
Don't forget those oil impregnated bronze bushings, steel in aluminum bearings, steel on brass and apple or maple wood bearings! Use what works in your application. NC doesn't mean Hi Tech nowadays
