Nope not me, but I I'd be interested in what it was. I prefer my wood ground into sawdust and glued back together. Well, not really but at least it's consistent for cutting.

I had a friend ask this when he went back to his CNC machine after years of not using it. His PC is rather flakey probably due to power supply capacitors. But anyway it seems he has his axis mixed

I have been using Febis K68 way lube on my ball screws and ways and have found it to stick well and not drip. There are other equivalent way lubes out there but I had to buy a 5 gallon pail up here in

The only thing I can offer is that where I worked before I retired we used linear recirculating ball slides. They specifically said grease but do not use PTFE impregnated grease. This turned out to be

my x axis screws do not seem to last very long. i just ordered boots for both side of the nut and who knows they might actually fit and ??? has anyone used boots to protect their ballscrews? also

No big deal if i need to override the limit but i have? not figured out how without rebooting mach4. i can put a switch on the limit switch but then i will forget to turn it back on. on the z axis i

All, Thanks for the info. Would anyone be willing to share specs, such as size of steppers, and pictures of their installations. Dale

Not so if you use a double lead ball screw on the Z axis . On my 13X25 lathe I did this mod about 15 years ago and I left the acme lead screw in the X axis because backlash comp handle that pretty

I was able to recover my original license. Thanks for the conversation on the topic.

are you the guy with the multiple axes artwork? i saved it as soon as it was posted and is one of my favorite images.

yes please do so, i am tired of this wood crap. can't they get control over these things? there should be a law. seriously wood is an absolute bitch to "machine" if you are making a wood plaque it is

You can buy wood in the US. You just need to be rich as Bill Gates. ;) Bill in OKC? <----Wrong Bill, blast it! William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) A human being should be able to change a diaper,

I'd say you've manage to find a decent feed & speed for that particular type of wood, so all good I guess. Terrible stuff wood, just so inconsistent. Should be banned, I think I'll write to my local
