Upon frying my 4 Axis controller I purchased a new breakout board and drivers. Problem is the new setup only has a single spindle output. I looking to add more for my Scribe, router contactor and...

Thanks Jim. I've been looking at what others use but then I found the solution in my own shop.
I had bought a air slide for my scribe which had to short of a stroke. I pulled the seals out and it...

EDIT: PLEASE move to CNC Plasma

After a few month of running I'm looking for places to improve my table.
1 thing I hate is the linear rail on my floating head. It wobbles and rocks.
This is...

I'm getting sick of the inconsistency on thin sheet of my floating head on my table. I'm pretty sure the Trafimet S75 torch does not have OHMIC ability so I'm wondering if my idea willwork.

In search of a decent Knee Mill and getting tempted by a few CNC's that I missed out on I have come across a Forward Mill with Mitutoyo Millstar CNC (I assume) conversion.

I finally got word from the people that sold the unit to my machine builder. Luckily I saw the shipping box and grabbed the name from memory and they had online chat support. It is what you...

Well that didn't work. I place a diode between OC and one side of the coil and then to the 24v+ on my power supply and although I did not get the drop I got no switching.

Now that you mention the NPN I'm thinking that is the case. I remember reading somehwere and seeing that.
I'll give that a shot. I'm so far unhappy with the supports I'm getting on the board. It's...

I was supposed to be getting better hardwarewith my new 4x8 plasma table but I'm dealing with the builder on that so for now I'm working with what I got.

First post and my first issue.
I just brought home my 4x8CNC Plasma machine that was built by a private builder local to me. So far I have outfitted it with a router and did a quick job (okay 6hrs...
