I am attempting to validate my choice of stepper motor for my hobby cnc project. It's a vertical CNC able to handle 4X8 panels of plywood. I'm looking for what a woodworker would consider excellent...

OK last question :) how much did the duty cost?

Great to hear! I had a feeling cncrouterparts was a good company.

I also live in Canada, how did you get it shipped? Did you pay for ups to cross the border? Or did you pick it up at a border...

Hi, It's been a while but I was wondering if you had any impressions after having the machine for so long. I am seriously looking into getting one and I only have to finish saving up :)

Have you...

Hello!

First off, sorry for posting this here, I just couldn't find an appropriate forum for this question. Perhaps a mod can move it?

I am looking to purchase a vacuum pump for a small vacuum...

I had seen that post but I assumed that since there was an initial M06 WITH a T parameter that the rest would work. I'll try removing all the M06s without the T param and let you know how it goes....

Looks to me like it's ok. It moves z to 2mm (my clearance height), then it bring...

I really love this software, I just purchased it and I must say it's incredibly simple and works quite well. I have a homemade machine and it's not the most accurate thing on earth. But with...

I thought it might help if I posed my gcode:

Why does my antivirus say your website is "malicious"?

Well let's consider the facts:

It used to work a little while ago, so barring some freakish motor damage or you doing some modification your not telling us about, it has to be something that...

Hello everyone!

I have a strange problem with PCBGCODE and LINUXCNC. When I generate a drill file with eagle and PCBGCODE, everything seems fine. But when I go to run it in LINUXCNC it spits out...

I just wanted to mention that you probably shouldn't try to do it yourself. Mains, especially 220v can kill you in a heartbeat. I have 3 years of training in electronics and mains still terrifies me....

Alright!

I have one last question for you! What file did you edit to specify the top and bottom coordinate systems automatically? I can't seem to find the post-processor files used in pcbgcode.

Yeah I intended to add homing switches but before I got to that point I found some problems with my machine so I've been working to upgrade it.

What switches do you recommend for homing? I have...

Thanks bubba!

Would you be so kind as to elaborate on the procedure (as far as the gcode goes) as my brain is having trouble visualizing it.

Here's what I think I need to do:

Set the home...

Well I wouldn't go so far as electric tools, but a pair of pliers with some electrical tape on the ends is my favorite way of tightening without scratching my nice shiny nut :)

Just a thought but hand tightening is never enough

If there are inequalities along one of your screws you'll only see it on diagonal moves. If you have a caliper I suggest testing the actual travel of x and y individually for very small moves i.e...

I'm going to venture a guess and say you are using cheap(er) lead screws. If you are, they might be the cause of your problem.

They might not even be bad. If they are not aligned properly, they...

Hello all.

I am trying to mill a 2 sided board for my friend. I am using the pin-in-hole method to keep my board aligned when I flip it.

My problem is that PCB GCODE is generating the bottom...

Is it possible that because i didn't define a tool in linuxcnc that the offsets are all 0?

So I just looked into my GCODE for g41,42 and g43. To my knowledge, before using g41 or 42, you need to set the cutter radius with g43. My gcode contains no g43 at all.

Hello all!

I`m hoping this will be a quick-fix for you wizards out there.

I made a simple part in solidcam to upgrade my homemade pcb router, and started milling it. The problem is that in...

Thanks AL! That was it. Silly Chinese boards have such cruddy documentation.

Can't find anything like that under phoenix. You know I'm looking for the white rectangular plugs, not the green screw terminals.

Oh and the board is the bl-Mach -v1.1, a simple interface board for Mach 3.

I'm hoping someone can find a digikey number or something, id love to use proper connectors rather than those Brutish screw terminals [emoji6]

Thanks!
