I would make some simple wooden clamps, move everything to the center, lock everything using the wooden clamps, as a friend or a relative to help and that's it. You can test if you can lift one side,...

Michael 2 people can easily lift 100 kg as you say just move the gantry to the centre and lower the spindle to a block on the bed .

If the control box is solid wired you might be able to put that...

I think about him all the time and miss him not being around, he gave me shit over the forum colour, he gave me shit over the forum side bar but he also helped me allot as well. When I think about...

No need to do either of those as it's very easy to let the VFD operate it.

There is relay built into the VFD which can be set up to turn on/off when spindle spins. By default it's set to operate...

Episode 15 is now ready for viewing: Setting out the epoxy leveling for the X rails. This was my first time using epoxy like this and I certainly learnt some things along the way - especially those...

Yes stick a diagram as how you have it wired including what voltage you are using etc.

Plus one:toot: It's always nice to see another build come to completion :encouragement:

Well done Mikey looks great !

Well done that man.! . .:toot:

Without re-reading the entire thread, NPN means it's switches the signal wire to ground.

So connect the sensor +VE to 24V, then the Gnd/0V to both the 24V supply GND/0V, and the BOB GND/0V (best...

Mike best to start and ask again in your thread http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/10262-Wiring-24v-NPN-Proximity-Switch-to-5v-BOB-Why-does-nt-it-work.

And give us the relevant up to date info.

Nice cut! It looks very similar with my first dust shoe. But now, mine have diameters of 15 to 25 cm calculated for different tools dia so that the hair will not be cut by the tool at any depth. And...

The cyclone cones you get off eBay are good, just hooked one up to my machine and works brilliantly, I'd highly recommend one Mike.

Dust extraction should be a priority especially if you intend to machine MDF. It uses urea-formaldehyde as a bonding agent and the formaldehyde is a proved carcinogen besides other harmful effects.

Poser.!!. . .:cool:

:toot: Well done Mikey know it's been long slog but you done it correctly and you'll soon start reaping the bennifits.:toot: (go easy on DOC else you'll be replacing beds every...

😁 nice one Mike, always good seeing the first chips (or dust in your case!!!) from a machine...looking forward to seeing more. You do know that you'll be constantly doing more bits to it don't you?...

Another really helpful comprehensive post robin from your Vast experience.!! . . . . Why don't you just shut up if can't give relevent and helpful comments.

You didn't even think to ask about...

Let me just point something out that is easy trap to fall into and one that Joe has made which I hadn't spotted until now.? (Sorry Joe just seen your Video using drill, well done on first...

Reason why I over-complicated things was that I had assumed that this BOB had opto-isolated inputs (I've been working with a CSMIO card recently which does things that way and I made a false...

People seem to be over complicating this.
.
Given the BOB in question requires switched to 0V to activate the input, all you need to do is wire 24V to BN, 0V to BU, then connect the BK to the BOB...

Some of these switches have a 10K inside and limit the current to a few mA I have used these on 5V inputs without any other R's without problems

Almost there Mike sounds nice as well, keep up the good work.
