Something like that. You'd probably also want a BoB to go with the ESS to make wiring easier. That bundle includes the required adapter leads, so you'd just need a BoB.

If you do a search over on...

What you've listed aren't really BoBs, they're motion controllers. Some will benefit from a suitable BoB to make wiring easier.

In your photo, the blue board is the motion controller, and the red...

BOBs come in various forms.
At the most basic, they connect to a parallel port and simply breakout the pins to more convenient terminals, which gives you the option of running Mach3/4 or LinuxCNC.

You could run the mill using VR Milling 2, as I don't think VR Milling 5 supports serial. I use 5, however my machine had been upgraded to the USB controller, and came with a license.

You would...

I think it's not so much the metalwork that needs lining up but rather the support rails upon that metalwork. This is where the epoxy method etc. comes in to play, obviously the metalwork needs to be...

Quick note:

Its a bit of a crap shoot with the cheapest VFD suppliers. Sometimes you get decent bearings, sometimes less so. Sometimes you only get 2 bearings, sometimes 4. Main problem is the...

Here's some useful setup information for Haunyang VFD that I've collected and collated whilst on my internet travels.

NOTE: Always check these settings are applicable to your Haunyang VFD as there...

This one is cheaper.
As far as I can see it's just luck with the bearings. The sellers on ali-express will discuss them however, so it's possible to get better ones but you do pay for it. I got my...

Set this thread to a sticky for you Husky.

Yup that is the one.

If you are mounting a metal frame on top of two bits of what looks like wood... Don't.

Wood swells and expands depending on moisture content, the arrangement you have will...

I'll shoot first. .Lol

Don't need Nema 34's 23's will be more than enough.

Don't need 2x rails per side they won't add much to the machine other than expense. Linear rails can handle massive...

Like your drawings. For serious metal cutting I still think a fixed gantry would be better, and a much stiffer (double) gantry cross beam. G.

CA, CB specifies if the blocks have flanges, so can be mounted from both sides, or no flanges in which case you're limited to one side. Also you can get bearings like those cheaper on Aliexpress,...

Are the dimensions further down on the zapp page you linked to no good?

FL15; 47W, 56.2L, 24H
FL20; 60, 70.5, 30 (mm)

Hi All and a very merry christmas to you.
Well I'm glad to say, progress has been made.
My pet joiner Chris came round the other day to assist starting the mamoth task of blitzing the shite out of...

So, while away all the bits and pieces I ordered arrived behind me. It was like Christmas, opening all the parcels. I loved it.

Here are some pictures which I think will help others new cnc...

Redrawn the z axis with new 25mm plates for the rear and front. Also included registers for the NSK rails and slides although they are only 1mm. It is a very tight fit and looks much sleeker now at...

Jonathan i make no accusations, i just responded to your weak bold statement that lacked accountability of all facts. It was you that made the statement that unsupported rails are weak not me. I just...

A Tutorial on motor torque calculations

A question oft asked on MYCNCUK is "how big a motor do I need?". There is no simple answer to this, and the options are usually:
