For a Z I would belt drive and reduce to 2:1. As Z motions are not always as long as the X and Y you can live with a slower speed.

The 2:1 will also ensure you do not drop as easily when the...

Personally, Ger21's Mach2010 is the better of the commercial ones.

The hoops you have to jump through with MachSTD to get it installed and the fact that it is not 100% compatible with the CSMIO...

Clive,

I design pressure systems up to 30ksi. For up to 15ksi, the starting point is the Parker catalogue:

Yeah bought a blue and white one and it has not needed any work since buying it.

Black card will not be an issue.

So if you are following the usual dimensions you will find the a M10x1.5 does not pass over the 8mm section. We typically use M10x1.0 as it also allows you to get a finer adjustment on the locking...

Machining the castings is somewhat irreversible since the parts are hand finished to fit. You can just buy a saddle but you will need to get it reground and fitted which, unless you have all the...

Thats the spirit.

Happy new year! Yes i can see prices. A quick quote gave me around £50 for a ground plate iirc. Send me a pm with the part numbers and i will get you their prices from the site.

Freddi,

Firstly save yourself the trouble of messing with Pi's and use a controller capable of slaving axes. Mach3 can slave axes but you could even just write the GCode in a way that makes use of...

I had that on mine too

There is a little diode in the drive circuit that tends to burn. Without it you are dumping current into a different circuit. There is info on the net for this circuit but...

Tripping an RCD means you have leakage current to ground. This could potentially be fatal so disconnect the machine and test which of the power or signal wires are shorting to the chassis. On my KRV...

Hi Hugh

I am working on it. The plan is to release the mechanics by Christmas. I am also working with Aaron Powter from Australia to make his kit available for those with the Warco/Amadeal...

The latter. Brian is a very helpful guy and can get you machine in tip top shape for a very very good price.

You ship the saddle knee and table to him on a pallet and he does the rest.

Thanks! It is pneumatic impact wrench type drawbar in a nice package. There are plans for one on the net too. You press the green button a bit and it unscrews a specially ground R8 collet.



You...

Distilled water is deionised water using heat. Normal deinoised water for batteries and such is virtually the same thing but made using reverse osmosis and thus cheaper.

Use any deionised water...

Yes and get the knee saddle and table reground and turcited. Speak to slideway services, they quoted me by far the best price

And for the love of machinery, use deionised water and 5% automotive antifreeze as coolant. Not tap water.

I have 2 of the 20mm shank ones. Not worth the effort... they are hardly any better than a trusty edgefinder. My issue with them is that they are so long that they run out all the time. The only way...

RV antifreeze is fine. In fact it is better than deioinised water on its own.

Nick you sure have a good way of making friends:sentimental:

You get charring due to the laser that can be minimised by selecting the right feeds and power.Then a normal flapper type sanding wheel will take care of the rest. A Drill bit however is only used to...

I am only allowed to post 18 pictures per reply so here is the remainder of the listing:
