Hi Guys. It has been a long old while since I have been on here. I hope you are all keeping well. For one reason or another my CNC build has taken a back seat for a few years but I am hoping to get...

Hi Andy,

My cabinet is about 790 x 790 x 275 deep. As I said in previous posts, please take this circuit diagram as a guide as to how I have wired my machine - it is from research on here and...

Hi Andy, I have an updated circuit diagram that I will upload as I had a few mistakes on the last one... take it with a pitch of salt though as I’m no expert!! I just used the cad software we use at...

So I tried the calibration tool in MACH3 this evening. Moved a centre finder 600mm up the x axis against a steel rule. To the eye it was bang on. Moved it 500mm on y axis and it was maybe out by...

In connecting the home proximity switches I have chosen the following method for connecting the cy cable shield to the star ground in the cabinet.

I have four core cy cable, one of which is...

Thanks guys - as always appreciate the help! As far as my specific estop set up I have explained this on my video log. Link below if you can be bothered to watch it!! But is essentially a pilz with...

Another little part made......

In fact you can see in the pictures it says 13AWG which is 2.5mm. It hasn't seen any hard use yet so remains to be seen if it will work well, but it switches on without killing me or catching fire,...

Good to see you're spreading into the house!! Like your sensor setup - how will you lock them in place once set?

In a word yes! You can file it down but better to make it wider than you need in the first place.

In the interests of completeness of my build log and in the hope that it may help demystify building your own power supply here are a couple of videos of my power supply build. Although it is obvious...

The 12V supply has gone!

I found the laser printer to be pretty inaccurate maybe because of the heat? What...
