Thank you very much Michael for explaining this.
The inductance of my nema 34 stepper motors is 3.4 mH and I have 3 of these (two will be slaved). I also have a 4nM nema 23 to move the z axis up and...

I'l be honest at this point. Electronics are my weak point when it comes to building this machine. I know that low inductance stepper motors can potentially run faster than higher inductance ones. As...

BTW its a 4x2 foot machine (roughly)

Z axis travel is about 130mm. I can adjust the clearance by sliding the assembly up or down the gantry uprights (the benefits of extrusion). Ive built it so I can either use a belt as you suggest or...

Back up and running:yahoo:

Its not freestanding yet i'm waiting for some box section steel to arrive.

Hope you can see these pictures of my machine that i have attached.

having difficulty attaching pics bare with me

Work area is a bit untidy at the moment

I'm not a model engineer. I am building the machine as a hobby and eventually manufacture some ideas to see if I can sell them as a sideline / hobby.

I have got it rigged at the minute with a crude belt drive to drive the gantry ball screws (so i can move gantry up and down with a power drill while im building it). I have considered running it...

Hi my name is Chris and I am new to CNC. I don't have an engineering background but I have always been interested in engineering and manufacturing.:beer::beer::beer::beer:
I am bullding a 4' x 2'...

Hello everyone,
Im trying to find mach 3 plug in for and IPM controller. When i try to access cs-labs website I get the message that the site does not exist. Anyone know if theres problem at cs-labs
