Time for one last video in the series ! Some finishing touches . . . Still plan to measure the stiffness - I may get a chance to get in...

No. I am not on the latest version. Just to make sure that I'm doing it the right way, I shouldn't get the same numbers when I retest it, right?

I know some people do it but writing gcode to create shapes can be hard work. Sounds like you need some CAD/CAM software to help you out. ...

I use Backlash Compensation in Mach3 and it works perfectly. You're not just using the latest version thinking that will be best are you? It...

Sorry for the late response. But I got it figured out, well, at least the mechanical part. For some reason the mach3 won't take any backlash...

Hi, Welcome to the forum, do you hope to start producing your products via CNC now or ?

Hi James , I might be interested in this , I cant pm you here because I just joined , you can get me at diveskills@gmail.com Thanks ,

Yes, that is exactly the thing I want to do, but I believe that when a laser is used, the vinyl gives off toxic fumes, so I assuming they must have a...

Is this the kind of thing you are talking about ? these all seem to have been done with a laser. ...

Hi Mysticblue I understand your point and it has been made before by new members. Somehow the new member interprets silence as ‘holding out’ and...

Hi, I have a XHC MK3 Ethernet. When i wanna home the machine,The X and Y axis go near the proximity sensor and trigger them, and then instead of...

Paul, Understand your intended use-cases - if all you are doing is cutting abstract shapes out of old vinyl records (I did have to google to...

Ok I will then be more careful. I think it was the arm as the magnet felt stable. I mean the Mituyo ones come in different prices. Mine was very...

Ok thanks very much! Got belt ordered there. Just to sort either pad for brake or complete new brake but the numbers have wore off it. I do have a...

I just have a simple little round Eclipse thing, about 25mm diameter. It may not have the holding power of the larger ones but I find it perfectly...

Just search for 210L075 and you should get lots of potential suppliers for the belt. Its a 21" long, L (3/8" pitch) profile, 3/4" wide toothed belt....

Thanks for your reply I will try that. Or even was wondering if anywhere stocks new complete brakes. We have the brake working again by taking it...

Thank for your reply, I am happy to have a go at building one, but I wouldn't know where to start, I have looked at a few build threads, all seems...

I have no direct experience of that machine but they have been around a while and there are plenty in use. The rails are V rollers which is fairly...

The arms on any DTI clamp will cause the reading to change if you knock them as the indicator is very sensitive. But perhaps that is not what you...

If you take the old belt in to your local industrial bearing, seal and belt supplier it's likely they will be able to identify it and source one for...

...and continuing that point, it all depends on what the enquirer actually needs (which is often a little bit different to what they say they want)....

Hi Simon, Just to let you know Ian's emails from the forum are bouncing back to the server, so at the moment he won't be getting any notifications...

It's not that people don't want to help, in many cases it's down to not being in a position to give a full balanced view on a machine: to do that...

So, over the last few days i have been browsing the internet and looking at YouTube videos, one particular machine has grabbed my attention, it is...

I see... Perhaps you can't fix it Screen4, or it is not no. 39 but something else, I don't know. I used the standard screen.

Oh I am sorry. So it’s ok to slate a product or two saying they are rubbish. But when asked for genuine advice on what the experts think is good you...
