Before I make any suggestions, I'd like to see some photos of the lathe in question, and any information on the turret.

Personally, I'd say it's more likely to be some kind of electrical failure...

Dazp suggests a good board because the UB1 is an excellent choice if you are using servos due to the fact its differential line drivers are nice and fast, however when you get into the 400khz +...

The reason I went for the large pond aeration pump is that it can run continuously (24/7 if necessary). It is quiet compared with even an airbrush compressor, pumps out 80L/min free air (70L/min in a...

Sorry for the delay responding chaps, had a rush job on which I just "ran by ear". Only cutting perspex so ran a scrap through at what I thought sounded right, checked it cut okay, and got the job...

Just a follow -up

Used the lamp in parallel with the load and it was flckering up an down,
Took motor belt off and not much better .
Tried with only lamp connected and it was steady (able to...

One thing I've not seen mentioned, is how are the laser and arduino powered, and are they suitably connected?

If both are powered from the same 12V supply, they should already share a common...

Do you need to tell her :surprise:

Just a warning - there is a scammer who keeps listing a Boxford machine on ebay at a low starting bid price. He asks you to email him for the buy it now price. He replies by email and gives you a low...

Hi
One thing to watch out for: check that your inverter to control the spindle is isolated from the mains that is to say the the 0 to 10v input is not at mains potential.. this should described in...

Ok, when I saw this post it concerned me so I reached out to Balazs who owns CNCDrive to get the official word on this and here is his reply. I did ask his permission to post this which he agreed...

Remember electricity does not care about the colour. In Spain the black wire is the live phase, where as here it used to be red now it it brown :apthy:

OK
so sent a query in to Artsoft . Mach support supplied a remote connection link and while I was having my dinner the problem was resolved in my absence . Came back after dinner and a notepad...

I'm possibly wrong due to lack of sleep, but shouldn't a 90:1 turn 4 degrees for every input revolution?
Which would mean you've got one 180:1, and two 360:1 reducers.

I've been doing some digging and experimenting on this. I'm going to document my thoughts and findings just in case someone else - so many years after Mach3 was officially obsolete - happens to want...

Hi Doddy.

It looks like this

I bought it as a lockdown toy and it cost £199 from CZ republic. I don't believe 30W from the gun as the power supply is only 12v 5A and it has to power the...

Just adding to this thread as I've recently made another one of these cake plinths and have the pics to hand. Used an old oak table top that was being thrown out by a cafe. Process has been updated...

I was embarking on a thought exercise about this, regarding my CL300 lathe. It would be useful to have something to CNC cut fancy profiles in brass. My first consideration was a hybrid lathe, but you...

Simple question, but the answer's a bit more complicated...

First of all, fuses/MCBs are not really there to "protect" devices downstream. They might, under certain circumstances, but in general...

You Pussy... :hysterical: :joker:

Just for the sake of others this should be 10,11,12,13,15

One of these should do the trick :cool:

Glad to hear it's working again - sometimes practical considerations are far more important than reaching ideal theoretical solutions!

I know many of you use Fusion 360. In my opinion Lars Christensen is the go to guy for tuition

The link below is a talk from him to try and clear up the confusion with the recent changes to the...

With care, it seems that you can use woodworking power tools for aluminium. Certainly folks on this forum have used handheld routers to work Al. I've used my workworking bandsaw for Al as well - was...

ok (this is petes wife as he has gone to cool down and pour a big drink) i have just been going through the settings on the box and this is what i have found fingers crossed you can find something...
