Re: CNC Router Pendant Controller - I want to micro step to start at 0,0,0, #WOOD
Thanks John, this is similar to the controller that I had with Mach 3 for the DWC Router.? This would be a substantial improvement, if I can get it to communicate with Planet CNC TNG.? I am sure

Fantastic work John. The steady is brilliant, my Real Bull came with both fixed and travelling steadies so I guess I was lucky. I have also fitted ball bearings at the end of the fingers, makes a

Re: CNC Machined 3-point Steady - #LATHES #CNC #CSS #DRO #RELS
Very nice work on the 3 point steady, it's a little hard to see in the images but do you have rollers on the ends of the fingers? I have one to make in the near future for a 4 1/2" CB8 Holbrook
