Send an e-mail to [email protected]. Wait 1 to 2 weeks for reply. The CNC Fusion business is an after hours side line for the owners, i.e. they have day jobs and family. Your...

Jake,

If you have a lathe you could drill & ream one end to 3/8". It would need to be carfully centered, probably in a 4 jaw chuck, and put a spacer in the clamping slot. Easy way is to buy one as...

I have received my kit from CNCFusion. Awsome set of parts. The screws and parts are assembled by axis. My concern was the Y axis. I checked the total travel available and found it was 6-1/2". No...

AiR_GuNNeR,

Thanks for the suggestion. I am not sure how that applies to the X3 mill. I am planning to have the flange turned to the mill column side. I am speculating now as I am waiting on my...

All,

I found the information on Crevice Reamer's site. I will do something similar.

Thanks,

I have ordered the Deluxe conversion kit from CNCFUSION. I asked for the Y axis to cover 6-3/4”. I have been informed that they will only furnish the Y in stock 5-3/4Therefore, I am thinking of...

Jermie,

What about centering springs? How do you plan to seal the shaft against coolant?

You have the neatest flag design yet.

Keep up the good posts.

Matt,

The X3 controls require the speed switch to be set to "0" when the forward/reverse switch is moved to the run position. If this switch is not full "0" you will get a fault light. If you are...

Mariss,

This sounds promising. Any progress?

Thanks,

Anyone,

Has anybody heard from Bruce lately. Its been months since his last post. Is he still working on the Brain?

Thanks,

Ashley,

Aluminum wire is not a good choice for this application. Aluminum will cold flow and loosen due to thermal expansion/contraction. You can also expect early fatigue failure. I am suggesting...

Bruce,

How are you progressing on the Brain? How about an Update.

Has anyone done a cover plate "nameplate" layout for the pendant? It would be useful for identifying the LED's and buttons functions. A standard nameplate layout could be used by all. Those using...

Darsmith,

Check out www.dropros.com web site. Give them a call, they know which scales to use and have experience with the X3.

These covers are a great fit. Use a little high temp silicone (from the auto parts store) to seal them up. Seal the cable at the connector cord grip with a little silicone. These are excellent...

vmax549,

Can you please post a link to the new manual? I was not able to locate it at machsuport.

Thanks,

I like the dip switch idea. For the G540 I would agree the current method of placing the set resitor in the connector is OK. The problem with the G540 way of putting the current set resistor in the...

The motor nameplate is less informative than normally seen on US made motors, so I am giving verbal interpretation to assist. I hope that is what you were asking.

For 2 pole operation, 3400 RPM,...

The axis are based on the cartesian coordinate system for 3 axis. Drafting systems from which parts are produced are also based on this system.

Basically, if you are looking at a drawing sheet,...
