Hi. I live in Irby on the Wirral UK.

Building my first 3 axis machine but already thinking of ideas for a 5 axis one. Damn this hobby is addictive.

Hello
I'm from London, moving to Southampton in the next month or so. I've decided I'm going to convert my Hyundai mini machine ( the same as a clarke cl250 with 251 mill attached) to CNC. I'm an electronic engineer by profession so this should be fun.

Incidently has anyone used the steppers from bullnet ?
They are towards the bottom of http://www.bullnet.co.uk/shops/test/electric.htm
They seem very reasonably priced.

Does anyone knows a aluminium profile supplier in Portugal/Spain?

Excuse me being an amateur, but all your ballscrews seem to be 300mm length. I'm going to need 900mm lengths for my upcoming machine. Do you sell longer than 300mm?

[fkaCarel]

What you read is deviation. Deviation is specified per 300mm and is thus an quality indicator. It has nothing to with available length.

Thanks fka.

Hi Geoff - Which end of Cromer pier does that put you ? :cheers:

I'm between East Rudham and Bircham, and if I find anyone who knows what they're doing, I'll let you know because I seem to be going round in ever decreasing circles, while the number of projects gets longer each month.

Hi john,guess I dont my left from my right.so what hope have I got of understanding g code?I am about 40 miles WEST of Lynn,in a village called Morton near Bourne. my current projects are a DENFORD lathe and mill with no controllers and an attempt to convert a single spindle pcb machine (air operated z axis so no depth control) into a twin z axis ballscrew machine.I have also aquired a Phoenix Magnum router which has an outdated cad\cam system which I am trying to learn. I have another pcb machine (servo drives with heidenhain scales) which is currently being converted to work with a new controller.( I did tell you that I am a cnc nut). With the denfords I would like to know if it is better to opt for a dedicated controller via the serial port or to directly connect to a pc via the printer port. i know that I may posting in wrong place for the info I am looking for, but at least it is a start.

Hi,
I'm located in Stockholm, Sweden and i'm building a small fixed gantry 3 axis machine using ISEL ballscreaws and linear bearings from www.solectro.se.
The project is constantly getting upgraded so I suspect this will take a long time to finish...
