Yes, that is what I meant. I typed that before I found the .pdf.



My idea was to machine a new spacer, I have a lathe. I am guessing the spacer is hardened steel and Aluminum would not be a...

That's not the point. In the exploded view there is part #15, 31534, Adjustment washer - below the pulley.

There is also #96, 31595,Spindle Shaft adjustment washer. I can't find any info on how...

How do you adjust the drive pulley? There is a bolt behind the motor that I don't see how I can get to without taking the cover off; and the oiler is attached to it.

I recently cooked a belt on my mill, ordered replacements from Tormach. After replacing and using for less than 2 hours, it is making the same noise the other one did; kind of a squeaking/sticking...

Ok, makes sense. I did not mean to be rude! The mps machines are very good, but you are right in that not the best if just engraving; kind of over investing.

Jebus! THe video of the machine is ok, but why the Star Wars text and annoying music? Let us hear the machine burn! And he was asking about CNC machines, not Chinese lasers ....

I have 2 of the MicroProto, they are excellent for the price.

The computer is only a year old; Sprut, MasterCAM and Rhino all run just fine. It is only after installing RhinoCAM that I started having problems.

I even ran SprutCAM on an old 2.4; it ran real...

I waited 2 days for the Mecsoft site to come back up; while I was waiting I worked through 12 SprutCAM tutorials with no crashes. I can even save my work and the tool library.

Every time I try to...

I called SprutCam America.

Ya that all makes sense. I just want to make sure it works with my old machines too. And I did hear from Eric @ Tormach today; even though I e-mailed Sprut directly. I do like the idea of RhinoCAM...

I said I called Sprut, not Tormach. I called 3 times on Friday, during the day. Sorry, I misread your original reply.

How do you do that when it rings forever and then you get an answering machine?

I am getting a Tormach 770, and was checking out MadCAM, RhinoCAM and SprutCAM to run it and my Microproto machines. I sent all three an email asking about Post Processors, and phoned Sprut 3 times,...

I use Spaenaur, they have a crappy website but if you get a catalog they have tons of fasteners etc.

For engraving I have found that Center Drills work the best. They are cheap, double sided, and come in many different sizes. If you pick the right size, it will be the same width.

I am still...

That does look impressive; but abit more than what I need. The High Tech one also looked good, but not if it had .010" runout.

I was looking around 'cause I have come up with a design that will...

Has anyone built or bought a quick change tool holder for the Taig? I have seen a few posts, but they never seem to go anywhere, and I have not found anything using search engines except Lathe tool...

OT, but I have been using 2 of the MPSpro (Taig CNC) machines; one for over 8 years, one for 4. They are small machines, but still work excellent. Awhile ago I had a problem with the 8 year old one;...

I only machine aluminum, and have settled on solid carbide, uncoated. And although mist coolant works okay, the mess it leaves when the water evaporates can seize a machine.

I use WD-40, and don't...

High feedback that is brand new sometimes is an indication of a scam; guys will sell stuff cheap for three months or so, build it up and then suddenly disappear with a hundred sales or more.

Thanx, turned out to be a different problem altogether, but it's working now. But I am considering switching over to RhinCAM.

Been trying to get this part made for awhile, but when I do the 'verify' for any of the posts, I just get a flash of the cutter and no actual end result. RhinoCAM and MadCAM import it fine. ANy ideas?

We build parts out of 1/4 and 3/8" Flat bar 6061 Aluminum, and are currently building them one at a time on Taig CNC mills. The machines work perfectly, but it is slow doing a part at a time. We are...

Can anyone else here help me with this problem? I would sure appreciate it!

I did mount it on my T-Maxx. They have 2 videos of it on their site of a loop I made and tried to drive around. It's under the Customer Pics link.

I had originally wanted to design a base that...

Your file worked perfect, but I was unable to duplicate it.

Can you tell me what program you used for the cut/sweep? And possibly explain abit how you editted the file I sent you?

The software I got with My Taig was mpspro, doesn't maxnc come with their own mills?

I wanted to surface it so it could be cut on the X and Y axis', and stepped on the Z.

The mill I have is screws, not ball, so if it steps alot on the Z, it leaves ridges.

That would help me with this, but could you possibly tell me how to do it myself using Rhino or within MasterCam?

I'd like to be able to do it myself, and have tried for days; there is just...
