Is tungsten not sintered in a mould and ground? There are some examples of turning on youtube using cbn tips.

The perfect Motion controller for this machine is AXBB-E from CNCDRIVE. This is an Ethernet Motion controller with a built-in breakout board and...

Tungsten isn't a very easy material to turn I believe and will require a good lathe with correct tooling/inserts. I think most tungsten is ground...

" MAke sure the .net framework 3.5 is installed (enabled in the Windows features on Win 10.) Run the UCx00 automatic installer application, select...

Sorry about that guys I must have hit the wrong button when moderating on mobile :-/, now removed.

I have a machine from Bionica and last time I spoke to Cody for help, I asked him what those 2 buttons/switches were for and he said they were for...

hey can you send me the manual?

It's coming back together nicely. There's a shelf in the base for the controller and cooling to sit on, a nice new tray for the drag chain and I'll...

And somebody will have been paid to design that! In practice LEDs are best supplied with a constant current supply rather than constant voltage as...

NB70, I printed off some information from that VFD website link and was able to make more sense of the settings. I have now got it to start from the...

I have a response from CNCdrive forum which looks authoritative if maybe a bit complicated . Will post it here if it works

I bought my holders for my old CNC mill here; https://www.engineeringsupplies.co.uk/bridgeport-r8-upgrade-easy-change-system/page/2/ They are a...

It was an 1/8" cutter, it was only a small job and I figured a smaller cutter would be less likely to deform the material as it cut, the waste comes...

Thanks for the advice. BTW, what diameter cutters were you using please? - it would be useful to get an idea of a workable SFM.

No I've not. I do have a license for it, as I bought it years ago when they done a pre-release offer, but I've never had any reason to run it. The...

I don't have panels but I've got 6 of the 6' long LED battens by LAP from Screwfix in my workshop. I've been using them for 4 years now without any...

I am considering vertical style as well, trying to get my head round it a bit ! I can certainly see its advantages with regards to space saving. I...

I really cannot understand what the two switches and relay are meant to do. First of all can I verify that PWM on the motion control card is...

Have you successfully run a machine on Mach 4 m_c ? and if so with what motion controller I have raised a question on the cncdrive forum but...

14 parallel LEDs? without independent current limiting resistors?, that's a crap design - the drive circuit will - as you say - be designed to drive...

Well for anyone following along in future, I took one panel apart: The leds are arranged in two strings, one on each side, each string 7 off x 14...

So this is now winding me up I have installed the plugins and they now appear in my M4 plugins file But I have restarted my computer...
