Hi folks.
Thanks for letting me join.
I am new to CNC Routing and took the plunge and bought a machine.
I am looking forward to digging deep in the forum and picking a few brains along the way.
Cheers Billy

What Make/Model/Size/Type machine did you buy, and what do you intend to mainly use the machine for?

20mm Dia 10mm pitch Ballscrew on Long axis.
16mm Dia 10mm pitch on Gantry axis
16mm Dia 5mm Pitch on Z axis.
All Ball screws are mounted with Angular Contact BK bearing blocks.
2.2Kw ER20 (1-13mm shank sizes) 24000Rpm Spindle with VFD and Water pump.
4Nm Nema 23 Stepper motor on Long axis.
3.1Nm Nema 23 Stepper motors on other Axis.
4 axis csmio/ip-m Ethernet Motion controller with 24Vdc I/O System and Spindle speed Controller.
Leadshine Digital AM882 drives with stall detect.
Drives powered with Custom built 70Vdc Toroidal transformer.

Welcome to the forum Andy
This sounds like a nice high spec machine

That sounds like one of my machines.! How do I know that.? Because that listing is pretty much word perfect what I wrote.
If it is then you have a good machine.

Just like Jazz, with the exception of the IP-M, you've just described the machine I'm building in a nutshell. Down to the pitches and diameters of the ballscrews, and the motor sizes...

Did someone from the forum build it or was it a commercial product?

I'll be watching your progress with interest to see what my machine might be capable of when its ready!! ;)

Andy that's what I'm saying. Think it's a machine I built for someone else. . . .That's why I know it's a good machine if it is one of mine.

[AndyUK]

Aaah! :)

Out of interest, where does one find a JazzCNC machine for sale? I quite often see people looking for solid custom machine recommendations and it would be nice to send people your direction.

[Clive S]

That's what I thought as well Dean

I can proudly say that you don't often see my machines for sale second hand.
I only build to order and each machine tends to be custom to users' requirements and/or budgets. Thou I do have several standard design types IE: Desktop, free-standing, Vertical etc which are a base point.
I also try to keep to tried and tested Electronics and under no circumstances will I cut corners in this area. It's simply not worth the trouble and I'll turn the job down before do that.

If anyone wants to find me they can get in touch thru PM and I'll contact them.

Here's a sneak preview of what I'm working on at the minute.
