If I'm reading this correctly, does that mean that indivudals that pay for a subscription between now and Oct 7th get locked into the $310 rate for the foreseeable future? Or will they have the $495...

I have one of John's fixutre plates, am extremely happy with it. Coffeetek, I do have my vises, yes plural, mounted to the fixture plate, I run 2 5" vises with 6" jaws on it on my 770. So why use a...

Does anyone know whether or not PathPilot (please note I said PathPilot, not Tomrach, I know the stock control board won't support it) will support 5 axis control? I know default PathPilot will...

Could always make your own and save some money.

I would like to add, since I haven't seen it mentioned, spindle taper is a big consideration as well.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if power is lost to the mill, will that not interrupt power to the breakout board, causing the controller to view it as an E-Stop having been hit?

If I'm understanding the question correctly, you are simply trying to change the toolpath cut direction? If it's cutting to the left, you want to cut to the right? Or are you trying to define how...

More than likely, it was in reference to a CAM related limitation, i.e. AutoDesk's Fusion 360 at this time (to my knowledge) only does 4th axis indexing, not continuous 4th axis machining.

Andrew,

I emailed that same seller, regarding whether or not the gauge is coolant proof and if it can be left on the table during ops. Do you think it's robust and sealed well enough for that,...

No authority on the matter, but as a guy who converted a G0704 to CNC, if the 440 had been available when I did it, I would've just gone that route. If you are considering low volume production,...

Following this! Might try finding individuals who do sheet metal work for a living, exhaust hoods, HVAC, etc, I've found some of their prices to be quite reasonable in the past.

Nice catch, a typo is what it is, didn't care too much, it was my first engraving and on a screwed up lower.

The 440/770 will be great for engraving, especially with that higher spindle speed than on the 1100. You'll also have no problem with the rigidity/weight of the 440/770 for that. I did the below...

I've personally used these, and like them, slower in terms of IPM, but allow a deeper cut/engraving: Engraving Tools, Half Round, Individual Sizes 4318 - LittleMachineShop.com
Others have used these...

Are you at all concerned with depth of cut?

I've sent him several emails lately and have not received a reply. Anyone know what is going on or heard from him?

Everyone,

I have SprutCAM 9 Pro and am having some issues with the lathe module, in this particular instance, the Lathe Part-Off operation. The Post Process feedrate output make literally no...

The A61 Limit/Home Switch configuration is wired in pairs, meaning X+ and X- are essentially just X, same with the Y. In Mach, you would configure the ports/pins so that X(or Y)+ and X(or Y)- pins...

Knowing now that I will be going with the KBCC-125R, can someone take a look at the attached and tell me if it looks rightish?

Still need to add the wiring to Enable the KBCC.

I do have a...

Hoss,

Thank you so much for the link and information, after reading/looking through the available options, I'm thinking I'll go with the KBCC-125R.

Again, thank you,
Zach

Edit to add: ...

Hoss,

Main reason I was looking into the reverse was for tapping, but also because I'm of the mentality that I want everything I pay for to work as it's supposed to or better.
Knowing that you...

Hoss,

I have seen that video, and unless I'm wrong, it doesn't appear you are using the relays at all. So were you able to change spindle rotation direction with that setup? At this point, I've...

Those came out great! What 3d printer did you use to make them?

Understood, unfortunately the stock G0704 motor control board does not have an I1 and I2, unless they are infact the A and A1.

Haven't had a chance to pursue it at this time due to work (night shift).

Yes I am wanting to use it to control the stock DC motor control board with stock motor.

My problem/question is,...

Out of curiosity, have you tried to loosen (not remove) the 2 socket head cap screws which attach the leadscrew nut to the saddle to see if it frees the movement? Could be slightly off center one...

Has yours been converted to ballscrews? Regardless, I was having similar issues with mine after a conversion.

Prior to installing the ballscrew, I rolled it on a flat surface and it appeared to...

Everyone,

I have a G0704 that I've converted to CNC with a C11 and a C3. I've got spindle speed control, spindle on/off, and accurate RPMs to Mach through the stock controller and motor. ...

Everyone,

I recently bought SprutCAM 9 Master, which arrived today with DVD and dongle. Unfortunately, after uninstalling the trial version, and deleting folder from Program Files, then inserting...

onocyclone,
