Why has it got to have spruce up ?
Totally getting pissed off with programmers changing things for changing sake.
Anyone seen the new Alibre and Solid edge menus ?

Sharing a garage with a freezer isn't as bad as it sounds.

Best monitors are the units taken out of one armed bandits and slot...

They are type 34 motors, voltage doesn't matter as the driver takes care of this but amps is a bit unknown.
542's should drive these but I'd favour the 872's as being well within spec

They are lights for the end of the tunnel if you buy a Strike machine.

In which case feed the E Stop circuit through a set of relay NC contacts and the alarm + and - to that relay coil.

Connect all 3 drivers to the same coil and then it doesn't matter which one...

Loose the brown link wire to alarm.

Modern floats are done in a high density foam, it's ground to shape with diamond coated type slitting saws as it cannot be turned without breaking up.
Making the older wooden floats is too slow, The...

You would be better going to a larger lathe, The C0 isn't really suitable for CNC without a lot of work.
There are some guys making floats on C3's and SC3's all automated with bar feed etc.

I'll get some pics tomorrow and take some measurements as the ARC machine is based on the X1 base long bed which has actually got larger travels than the X2

Input capacity 14 Kw ?

It's actually OK for 3mm steel, look at the duty cycle - 10% that means flat out 250 amps you can only use it for 1 minute in 10....

Nope, missed the point, use it as a special cable, THEN into a proper BoB.
All you are doing is being able to easily access the ports on the computer whilst it's all working.

No problem Hugh.
Can pick you up as before, just let me know.

They are very very easy to use, easier than a CNC mill, no tooling worries for a start. You select either engrave or cut and the...

Good choice, there is far more support for Mach than any other program.

Nip the blocks up in the vise and hammer them back onto the rail.

Failing that do a search on here for a post by Jonathan on Torsional Stiffness of Round Rails. If I remember right it ran to about...

Wellingborough is Ok, just had a look on google and it's only about 70mm away on the screen - no contest.
