Hoss' work is still here! ;-)
Yes the actual Dyna ones I have just have a bore for the specific tool diameter.
They dont use an additional ER16.
Much shorter stickout than these but still lock in with the same kind of clover...
Mactec, very similar concept.
Always wondered why Sherline didnt run with it. Dyna had it figured out for a manual repeatable tool change.

Marty mind if I share these on the Sherline site? I have a set of the Dyna's and always thought they were a great idea.
On a lathe? If so, simple to do by moving the carriage and the Y over and over.

Always knew you had issues, saw the swollen hands in the videos and could hear your breathing efforts.
Glad to hear you are doing well. Hiking beats sitting any day.
Cant wait to see any new ideas,...
Keto?
I did 73# in 4 months a few years back.
Regardless congrats on the new you!

Damn good to see you are alive and well.

I believe I want to put this machine up for sale.
It is not operational at the moment as I was about to remove the gear reductions. I have the Griftek stepper mounts that allow that conversion, a...
Did you get the dongle (they required a dongle and that is never acquired).
The steppers will work but are very underpowered by todays standards.
Steppers are cheap, update them unless your machine...
Any update? Inquiring minds want to know.

I am watching! This is one of the short falls of flashcut IMO. Who doesnt want or need a real MPG at the machine? You are using the wireless model? I run 1 of those rebranded for Centroid, they work...
I know nothing about making the scripts or even how to install them other than loading GCode.
Mach was a little different and I could find screens and options, FC not so much ;-)
I would enjoy your...
As long as the center is found. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the reply! In my case the Y seems to take a - number using the recommendation. I wonder if my Y is backwards?
Is this the center finding routine?
If so when I run it, there is a dialog box at the end of the process that shows 2 different decimals.
They appear to be the amounts of correction needed in the...
Charlie, I hope you are still monitoring this ;-) Should I delete the second probe in my user variables? Or is there harm in having both listed but no values on the second one?
I have copied and...
Since the only thing you changed was the pc, I suspect it.
You are using the parallel port?
Many machines had issues when XP went from real time.
From all I have read on Linux it too suffered....
Dont forget Amazon if you use them.
DIN rail power supply for less than 20 bucks next day most likely

The power supply is required for your switches. If you were using mechanical switches an additional power supply wouldnt be needed. Leadshines manuals are confusing in my opinion. I have a 3660 with...
It will require a separate power supply to power the switches.
It is a sinking connection. Are you testing this on a bench?
Let me back up.
Is the machine operational now without limits?
Did you get the NPN or PNP's? The link has both.
From everything I read the enable pins dont have to be used. If you do use them, there is an extra layer of protection. How to wire the enable pin on a stepper drive?
James. This is a trade or hobby with a lot of moving parts. Reading about where to go or what to do with a new machine is daunting.
I see you refer to tolerances. What do you know about...
Sorry, Andrew is correct. I do have a few of the probes you refer to that cost 175+. On the the other hand what I mention can still be used but you will have to understand what opens and closes the...
A probe is just a simple electronic switch. Insulate a piece of drill rod in a holder, connect a wire to it from the input pin.
Turbina, thanks for the reply and good work for those who can use it.
I no longer use Mach but would enjoy seeing anyone implement the bidirectional macro as we know it must work.
I have seen a few...
There is no shame in getting it done quickly ;-)
Both routes would be ok depending on your skill level. I would think you could skim cut the prebuilt one on your lathe to correct most issues.
