Ross This link shows error 404 but the one you sent me was fine.

Have you seen Joe Harris build log here is a link to his youtube channel on power supplies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OoQQg76ar4&list=PL1FIADAKba_tiLqXbUkzD30sZjtp_VyqY&index=2&t=0s

Also you can factor in that there is little to no torque on start up of the spindle with these type of spindles .

That looks like it is similar to the one I linked to. 1.5mm is more that enough but make sure that you securely clamp the cable to the Z axis so that there is no strain on the plug as if the plug...

You could also think of using rotating ball nuts :calm: 2Mtr is a long way with 16mm screws

According to the manual it says power consumption is 5W so about 0.2A I would use a 5A PS in case you want to power other things in the control box

Yes my bad :shame:

Freds email ** bstlinear***@***gmail.com*** take out the stars

Then there are the mcb and rcd combined in one unit called a RCBO :cool:

Take a look at Joes build and power supply https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OoQQg76ar4&list=PL1FIADAKba_tiLqXbUkzD30sZjtp_VyqY

Probably your mains voltage is on the high side and you are measuring the PS off load

I have used those drives I think they will take about 110vdc but you can also put AC into them straight from...

What are the windings on the one you have. generally 2 x 24v is ideal but I have used 2 x 25v many times. what is the max is the dc on your drives.

Yes Rob but generally in the UK in towns not necessary in the country The neutral in generally connect to the earth at the consumer unit. Just saying:thumsup:

Well you can make 4 wire steppers out of 8 wire ones but not make 8 wire out of 4 wire ones:devilish:

Yes bigger more powerful spindles like 3 kw you can use bigger cutters. If you want more motor power then use nema 34 but then you need higher voltage drives (mains voltage type).

The machine...

Fixed gantry will take up more floor space and moving gantry. if you are comparing that with the one Wal built then there is no comparison between the two. I pointed you to Joe's machine not for...

First welcome to the forum bluesking.

I would also go with option one as then you are in control. Have a look at Joe Harris build with a hand held router...

Yes that is one way. But is far simpler to just edit the ini file as you can get very fine adjustments. . (This is for the benefit of others to see that the config files are just plain text)

...

Well as you now know stepconf is only to be used once and as is says at the top of the ini file it generates. It gives the warning not to not to rerun as it will overwrite any edits you have done.
...

nema 23 motors probably would have driven the machine fine.

Excuses :frown: It helps to see pics. Its not a good idea to have a belt joining the two screws and then using two motors . Either 2 motors or 1 motor with one belt over both screws.

Nice to see you back again Joe :encouragement:

Hi and welcome to the forum. I have done a quick check and it seems as if the website is down so give it 24hrs then try again

Hi and welcome to the forum. I think you might have to make a couple of posts to upload pic. But in the meantime how about giving more info about the machine and controller what operating system...
