Re: Els x axis process #LATHES #RELS
Richard, I already have a better hand wheel... see photos. I have not used the compound since installing RELS, but still have it and the compound hand wheel for future possibilities. The trouble with

Re: Els x axis process #LATHES #RELS
Richard is correct in all regards in his post. (Thank you for replying, Richard... the time difference sometimes makes my replies appear late!) I would definitely go with the digital keypad. I had the

Re: Els x axis process #LATHES #RELS
I think would remove the holding screw then just drill through the knob and shaft for a 1mm or 1/16" spring pin (scroll pin). Actually it would make sense to make a better "handle" first. One designed

Re: Els x axis process #LATHES #RELS
Maybe I can answer some of the questions, Charlie is running a modified V6 Interspersed I think that you will find that this circuitry relates to the use of an old ex printer encoder disk and reader

Re: Cutting bottles with a lathe #MISC #LATHES
6 years ago I was asked if I could cut different types and colours of glass beer and wine bottles. I friend that now passed onto the great vineyard in the sky was building an outdoor bar and had the

Re: Els x axis process #LATHES #RELS
Charlie are you running the RELS v6 or v7 version? - my next items are to start to put the mega circuits together - and 6 is wired differently then 7 - I'm a little confused on the encoder wiring for

Re: Els x axis process #LATHES #RELS
P, I have not keyed mine yet but plan to do so next time I have it apart. With my current RELS setup, the Rapid motion was so fast that it would sometimes unscrew the handcrank that I made to replace

Els x axis process #LATHES #RELS
So have something working for the x axis - I 3D printed a new cross slide retainer with a nema 17 bracket. Have a few questions has anyone keyed the cross slide shaft - the existing thrust retention

Cutting bottles with a lathe #MISC #LATHES
Hi, John L., I noticed that there is a discussion on the 7 x 12 group about cutting bottles on a mini-lathe. I recall that you had done something very similar a few years ago. You emailed me photos of

Re: 74LS86 #RELS
I was just reading the code wrong. The interrupt mode is set to "1" which is "any edge" = pin change, meaning interrupt triggers twice per pulse, hence the x2 processing mode. The interrupt handler

Re: Starting my els for a 7x12 #RELS #LATHES
Thanks for sharing John. I thought about that end - but figured I would start with what I have - without waiting for parts and/or having to do a lot of machining if I can¡¯t get the electronics

Re: 74LS86 #RELS
Looks like the latest version doesn't use the XOR gate, everything done in software. Although looking at the source code (Digital_Feed_7e2), for the life of me I can't understand how the INT0

Re: Starting my els for a 7x12 #RELS #LATHES
Nicely done, thanks for sharing. From the photos the lathe looks like a Real Bull type and not a Sieg. Video worked OK. I opted to direct drive from the RH side of the Z axis screw, with a stepper

Yes it¡¯s 1:1 right now. and I likely just got in my head that attaching it to the banjo was the way to go over a direct connection

Re: Starting my els for a 7x12 #RELS #LATHES
Used a different program "File Viewer" and now I see it. Why did you use a gear on Z ? Couldn't you just mount the motor directly? It looks like you have 1:1 I ask because I am slowly in the process
