What kind of lathe do you want to build, or what do you plan to use for this lathe?

I didn't realise you'd copied my design! Just dont go hawking your strange ideas on the forum. Kit

came it cost 5 pound and well works fine when i did a mock up, better than the 13 pound t8 lead screw they sell. got 4 now. cant get a burger king...

That looks like it's a bit more than just a NVR switch. The circuit board looks like it's got some kind of speed controller and/or soft start built...

Those terminals look like just two terminals with two tags on each. Look carefully at where they are rivetted into the top cap - they are probably a...

Wasnt immediately aware of anythying but wasnt listening out for any humming. I'll try it out to it tomorrow when back in the workshop

Is that C5 or C3 string theory.? we don't want any backlash...:whistle:

Thanks guys, Think I might avoid the manual startup haha! I wondered about the cap as well so I bought a spare of the same value. I see my...

I'm more into string theory. At least, that's how bits of my router are held on...

I'm with Clive - my first port of call would be the starting capacitor. It's not that unusual for one of these to fail and you've pretty much...

No, they are the worst coupling to use. you are better using an Oldham-type coupling like this. http://www.fbtmotion.com/html/16.html Or better...

Does the motor hum if so it could be the capacitor

Please do not warp the Space-Time Continuum on your journey.

So will continue the thread over there Clive .Will zip and post everything I can.

John. There are more people that use Linuxcnc on the other forum Andy Pugh on there is very knowledgeable. You have to remember that none of us...

Hello, I am also interested in the manual. I would be very happy to receive a copy. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Clive and thanks for your input. When I first asked the question on both forums , I was unaware that the same faces would respond on both. Sorry...

Easy answer to the sensor question: 1 sensor gives speed. 2 sensors gives speed and direction 3 sensors gives that and an index pulse (absolute...

I see that you have also posted on the linuxcnc forum. Once you have used stepconf then you have to hand edit the files as stepconf will overwrite...

Well, not exactly correct, we set it up UCCNC before you took the machine so the pendants can be added at a later date if required. This is why it...

I am not sure what gmocappy needs in the way of "at speed " signal . I know I do not have the ratio correct in that a call for S300 would give me a...

I'm with Clive on this one (standing on the shoulders of the LInuxCNC giant :). - check that gmocappy needs or doesn't need a spindle-at-speed...

The pendant is plug and play. Dongle in a usb slot and hey presto it works like a charm. Touch off plate and spanner’s came with the machine
