The sharpest bits I have used have a 30 degree included angle and .005 tip. Again in wood with no breakage.

You might ckeck out "Wolfgang Engineering" and/or "Wolfgang Spindle". There are a ...

MechanoMan: I am running on the bearings on the brushless motor. I have only had a couple of issues with slippage and those were a result of taking a much deeper cut with a large bit than I planned...

Here are a couple of photos of my configuration. I assembled the components my self. In an old thread (search CNC9000) another user suggested the brushless motor and Nick Carter of CarterTools (The...

Just stumbled on this thread and thought I would add my two cents. For the past three years I have been using a 13.8VDC brushless outrunner motor paired with a mill head from Taig Tools as the...

I just stumbled onto these messages. Can anyone send me the contact information for the wolfgang spindle that you are discussing? I have the need for a small high speed spindle for a small router...

Mechtron, glad to see you are making progress. Here is how I setup mach 3 for the CNC 9000.

The ball screws move 5mm per revoultion. That is 5/25.4 or .19685 inches per revolution. The ball screws...

First let me make a few comments about the CNC9000. If you look at the specifications on the CS website they say that the CNC9000 will run at 50IPM with the supplied steppers and controllers. Based...

Yesterday I found that if the stepper is removed from the ball screw and run by itself it periodically locks up. It spins along and the stops. The X axis seemed to be running well at most speeds up...

I may have found the problem with my Y-Axis loksup problem. This afternoon I was working on my machine trying to find a combination adjustements when a neighbor dropped by to show me something he had...

In response to your questions I have experienced similar problems. Based on the things that I have tried it is my opinion that the problem is with the ball screws and not the linear bearings. My...

Thanks again for the info. I would have never thought of using one of those motors. They are relatively small, powerful and variable speed with the ESC and servo tester. That is certainly a much...

Thanks for the info. I went to the web site and he has a lot of information there. Can you give me some more info on the brushless motor that you are using. When I think of brushless motors I think...

Three bits were used. The cuts with the points were done with a 1/2" 90degree vee bit. The coves were cut with a 1/2" round nosed bit. The piece was removed from the base stock with a 1/4" straight...

My son and I have been running a Porter Cable 690 router on our CNC9000 but are cutting some veneers for inlays. The PC 690 seems to be overkill for this work and with the .125 adapter we are...

I think I have just about gotten my machine aligned and ready to start cutting. Using the best straight edge that I have I am seeing linearity of
.004-.007 across the length of both tha X and Y...

I have to agree with askman. I looked at a number of routers in this price range and could not find anything that compared. The closest thing I see is the new K2 machine with linear rails and it is...

I spoke with Noland at Circuit Specialists yesterday and he walked me through some additional troubleshooting steps and I was able to isolate the problem to a bad stepper driver. He was very helpful...

I have setup Mach3 according to your suggestions and reset the dip switches on the controllers to 1/4 step. The Y and Z axis move when I use the jog function in Mach3. The X axis makes a high pitched...

My CNC9000 arrived late yesterday afternoon. The unit was very well packed and was in very good condition. After getting my hands crossed with the screws for the steppers and the gantry mount the...

Thanks again for the info. Will let you know how it goes when the machine arrives.

My CNC9000 was shipped on tuesday and is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. I need to download Mach3 and build a machine to run it. Would you be willing to share your setup for Mach3 so I have a...

Thanks again for your prompt response. I have Turbocad Deluxe (not the pro version) installed on my system. I also have Adobe illustrator and Photoshop. Somewhere I also have a copy of AutoSketch...

Thanks for the update. I called yesterday and spoke with Nolan and he was very helpful. I will probably order a machine today. The only other thing that I have found in that price range is the...

Any update on this yet? This looks like a very interesting machine. Any experience with their support at this point in time?

I joined recently to lean more about CNC. My son is a professional woodworked/cabinet maker and has convinced me that we need to buy a CNC router and start a woodworking business of our own. I have...
