Excellent work Mr G, coming along nicely, nice and strong..:toot::applouse:

Fred is 100% trustworthy so pay him any way you are most comfortable or suits you best. I pay him directly through bank transfer and have done for 10+yrs without any issues. (unless I cock it up like...

Depends on who's built it.? I have built fixed gantry-style routers that will knock a taig or Sherline mills into next week in terms of strength, accuracy, and performance. To be honest I treat and...

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 +...

Ok well, the 50mm version of this is what we use for surfacing with the 2.2Kw spindle and have used for HDPE and Aluminium on occasion and the finish it leaves is fantastic. I've run low as 5000 rpm...

No problem, Servo manuals are not the clearest of things, and if you are not used to these things it's not always obvious. The good thing is your sorted now.

Lasers are not my thing but I know that if it's just for laser etching then it's easy enough, but if you are wanting to cut thicker material then that is a whole different ballgame which can get...

My favorite Quote that you maybe should think about.?

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.!"

Always nice to see another machine come to life, well done Nick, and nice job.:applause:

Had a few emails asking how I'm going with this and the controller so thought I'd do a few videos to show the progress or more the point the tangent it's gone off at.?


...

Synthetic coolant is a completely different animal to the typical emulsion and soluble oil type coolants that typically have a 1:1 Brix (Ri) factor where semi and fully synthetics coolant can have up...

To be honest, if it's done right you actually get a better finish on aluminum because of the higher spindle speeds which suit cutting aluminum, conventional mills very often don't have the RPM to cut...

Don't need to do that it's set for 10V and ignore what Dazp is saying he's telling you wrong. I will explain in my next post don't anything else until I do as you could damage the VFD or Controller....

Simply connect Fwd to Gnd and it will start. If you want to start/stop it through the controller using UCCNC then use an Output which controls a relay and run a wire from Fwd through a NO contact...

Like this, I believe but have never used one so check it out.

I missed this post.!

Yes, it's funny how things are initially conceived but then go off at tangents, I see this all the time with customers, esp new users, who buy machines with a plan to use...

Coloured cables will be expensive and not easy to find in UK, plus they all do the same job so save your money and spend it in areas which will make the machine better.

You don't give any details...

Well firstly before answering this you need to understand exactly what Mach3 or UCCNC or any machine controller for that matter does exactly.? It's common for new users to believe they do more than...

Pd002 =1 for external control and you need to set the jumper at the side next to the terminals to the opposite of what it's set to know, you will see 3 pins and a little black jumper bridging across...

Yes, it will be perfectly fine, even if used every day. Just clean the rails every few days and put a few drops of oil on the rails and run up and down. Depending on usage then grease it every few...

This might interest you both.!

We sell and use Sunfar (Simphoenix) VFD's with our range of high-end 40K ER20 2.2Kw spindles and ATC spindles. We have the E300 branded as Sunfar for the 2.2Kw 800hz...

There is nothing wrong with the BK-type housing, it's the correct component for the job, it's just that the cheap ones come with crappy bearings. So just replace the bearings with angular contact...

This is not all due to poor alignment.?
Because your rear plate and front plate are so long and so thin you are always going to struggle with screw alignment because has your front plate extends...

Just realized I've got a 4 x 4 machine which is leaving me on Saturday so if you can get to Goole before then I can show around it and answer any questions on CNC etc, Also happy to help regards you...

I did say sooner or later, looks like Quick draw Clive beat me too it...:loyal:
