Sure, Im happy to help out when I can.

I just found this randomly and wanted to say thank you for sharing it. I really appreciate it. It was a good bit of work but everything is still running great. I wish it would have been a little more...

I am refitting a 1989 Kitamura with LinuxCNC using Mesa 7I93 and 7I77 cards. I am confused as to connecting up the various servos. Right now I am trying to connect the Spindle servo amp(Sanyo Denki...

I'm just now to the point of connecting my touch screen control computer to my 7i92m and 7i77 (analog servos on my machine). I chose that combination based on a lot of research and by following the...

I'm glad my rambling was helpfull. Best of luck with the new shop.

My shop is 20x24 with 10 foot walls. That leaves plenty of headroom for tall equipment. I'm more into metal working so I think my needs will be very different from your needs. Take a look at my shop...

I have not used them yet but i hear good things about their work. Fanuc A290-0501-T701 or A2900501T701 Encoder - Fanucworld

I tried a couple of different methods to control the spindle via Mach3. Building my own board from instructions found here on the Zone did not work. I bought the LMS control board and it sort of...

Here is an option. They also have a 2200w motor.

I belive I found my rotation direction problem. Under spindle control I should have the M3 and M4 outputs set to the same output. I will find out this weekend.

I managed to get the board installed and running. The only issues I've encountered are M5 allows the spindle to spin clockwise (looking dosn on spindle) very slowly. M3 spins the spindle CCW. M4...

Take it with you. I had to put mine on hold a couple of times. Once for over a year.

Sorry for the late reply. I am just now getting into spindle control. I will be using the LMS board I just received. I will update this once I get it installed. The mill works fine for what it is. I...

Sorry to hear that you are out of work. I know you have put a lot of work into this machine. Hopefully it pays off in the long run. I'll keep you and yours in my prayers.

If you consider selling...

Pete,

I've been using Google's Chrome browser. One of the many nice things about it is that you can attach apps to it. Which means that not only can I play Angry Birds, with the Ad zapper I never...

I originally planed to make my own mounts and turn the ball screws.

I ended up ordering the CNCFushion kit to save time as I was way to busy with work.

Well I managed to finish up the miscellaneous nuts and bolts. She is mechanically sound.

I also connected the electronics and started configuring. Using the G540 XML file all I had to do was...

What? Blount Memorial doesn't have WiFi? Glad to hear you are OK and I'm looking forward to your update.

Ok, I got the wireing connected and just when I thought I was good to go...I do not have the correct parrelel cable. So I will order one along with some wire loom to make it look good. Maybe by next...

Well with work keeping me busy I didn't have time to fabricate my own conversion for the mill. So I ordered CNC Fusions kit. I have the mechanical done (other than two bolts) and I'll work on the...

My CNC Fusion kit arrives today and after much research and dabbling with other cnc machines I will not be using this machine manually. In fact I bought the LMS mill for the sole purpose of being a...

Well, I've been very busy working lately and have had no time to work on this myself. So I decided just to go with CNCFusions mechanical kit. I must say that the turn around time was faster than...

Drool... I so NEED one of those. I don't know why but I'm sure I could use it for something.

Thanks Hoss, that's a great site.

Is there any reason that no one has run the Z axis ballscrew through the collumn othe than the machine work necesary to the column itself? I need to get to...

I have been wanting to do this for a while. Having seen what others such as Hoss and Don have done I figure it's time to get started.


I've managed to collect most everything I will need to at...

Looking good. I need to delve back into mine and get her running.

For those worried about navigating the forum (which due to the amount of sections and subforums sucks), I use my subscriptions. From the main page I click on "User CP" and my subscriptions with new...

Well over the weekend I managed to get mine sort of functioning. I noticed that ReplicatorG wasn't producing Gcode for the A axis that Mach was looking for to run the extruder. Slic3r did no problem....

Thanks cornbinder,

That was the problem. I had to reconfigure a lot of the original SeeMeCNC xml setup.

Now that I have that done I'll try printing something tomorrow.

Thanks,

I received enough nylock 1/4-20 nuts.

I got the diodes taken care of and I already had the ground pins like that. Still no joy. The test gcode I was running didn't have an "A" axis so I...
