Richard, Tacho_V1.2 pinout? #RELS
Richard, I do not see what pins to use for the LED. I see?#define OLED_RESET 4 which I assume is using pin 4 on the Arduino. But I do not see the other pins called out. Of course I do not know much

Re: Mini-lathe Z-axis backlash #LATHES
Ralph, It turned out to be an adjustment, which would be proper to make for full manual use as well. If you don't have lead screw covers, you need not even remove anything to make the adjustment. --

Re: Preventing half-nut disengagement #LATHES
Good to know, Charlie. I'm considering (have been for some years, in fact) replacing the retainer on my single half-nut machine with a 2nd half-nut. If I do, that would be a good addition to it.?

Preventing half-nut disengagement #LATHES
Hello, All, I wanted to mention a small modification that John Lindo had suggested to me for the half-nuts of the mini-lathe. Under some, more aggressive machining operations, it seems that the spring

I first met him in Methuselah's Children, long, long ago. I own most of the books he appears in in hardback. Takes up a lot of my space. Makes it kind of hard to shoehorn the machine tools in,

Re: Mini-lathe Z-axis backlash #LATHES
Good idea, Bill! I have some material that a friend recommended that is intended to prevent screws from vibrating loose, and supposedly allows you to remove and replace them 3-4 times before having to

Re: Mini-lathe Z-axis backlash #LATHES
That's great, Charlie! Glad I could be of some assistance. One of these days, you might want to put some of the low-strength loc-tite in there. Next time you have to do this, not now. If it ain't

Re: Mini-lathe Z-axis backlash #LATHES
Bill, My lathe (a Real Bull) has two half-nuts. I removed the lead screw covers, and was able to determine that the issue was the three small adjustment screws as seen on the far right of the apron

Re: Mini-lathe Z-axis backlash #LATHES
Charlie, do you have the two half-nuts, or a single half-nut and retainer like mine has? A worn out half-nut or half-nuts, or loose screws on the retainer or half-nut(s), the shaft(s) in the groove

Mini-lathe Z-axis backlash #LATHES
Hello, All, I am having an issue with my mini-lathe, in that it seems to have excessive backlash in the Z-axis. (I.E., from the leadscrew to the carriage.) Backlash seems to be about 1.00 mm / .040
