Evening,

A couple of recent pieces I made on the ol' mini mill...

Branded pick up cover:

Brass saddles and bridge - the bridge is optional as the saddles are made...

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 have the first, and it works great. Really easy to use and clean. The only two important requirements is that your air must be dry, but that's true of all powder coaters. Oh, and to attach the...

I've got the second one and it works great. Really easy to use and simple to clean. The only important requirement is that your air must be dry, but that's true of all powder coaters.

That's a beaut.

Have you dinged the headstock already..? Good good - get that bit out of the way..!

Wal.

Guitar sounds really good!
Nice build!

That's brilliant! You must be walking on the moon.

I've not used the air-cooled but I have the Water-cooled version from this seller, in fact, I've just fit 3Kw BT30 model to a machine.

They come with a Fulling 3.7Kw VFD which was a bit of a bear...

Yes that's the drive setting for switching leading edge but just do it in mach4 it's easier.

Regards the noise then I wasn't meaning the sound of the spindle, it sounded clunky in its movement as...

If it's this pulse edge problem - certainly sounds like it! - then you can either swap over the "step" connections at one end (IP/M or driver) or change the "active high/low" setting for the step...

Yes, that's exactly what happens. I can't help with Mach4 however as I don't use it.

Washout just be aware that it's common for the controller's Pulse edge to be on the wrong side to what drives are set. So before continuing to use the machine just do a check of all axis.
To test...

No It's not placebo affect.! . . That's the difference between a quality controller and a cheaper controller, esp if combined with decent Digital drives. Don't be surprised if able tune motors...

Very convenient that the CSMIO is 5V output! Have you also used differential wiring to the 752s? It's not shown in the 752 manual, but it just means taking the two CSMIO * and - terminals to the two...

You don't need the 2K resisitors as the Motor outputs on the IP/M are 5V not 24v. Only the inputs and outputs are 24V.

Edit: The enable on the drive can be left unused and it will work fine.

Neale's answer pretty much says it all regards the difference between Ip-M and your old controller. But the main reason you have to provide power to the Inputs and outputs is for isolation and cross...

No problem - that's what I use. Haven't had a shock off it yet! I use a movable touchplate in conjunction with a fixed plate set into the bed which makes tool-changing in the middle of a job much...

Simple answer is that the CSMIO is designed for more sophisticated machines than a typical home-built router. Doing it this way means that you could use entirely separate power supplies for the CSMIO...

Hi Tim,

Ok your in the catch22 price range. The machines your looking at are not really up to cutting aluminum reliably or with good results as they are weak.
With the Chinese machines, your...

Episode 19 is ready. This time we are mounting the gantry and getting it moving.

Nice, I like it!

Nice work as always:thumsup:

So following on from my last post, whilst using the Drag knife to cut out some cardboard box templates I noticed the blade was starting to dull, so time to order
some new ones.

Once they arrived...

Just an update in case someone is interested...

I bought the above printer, it arrived a few days later, no issues. Installation took a few hours with some help from the Geeetech official...

Had a productive day or two... apart from some minor things left to do, the Z-axis is now completed.

First up I made the top counter bearing plate. I had planned this to be 10mm but I only had...
