Hi Chaz, I can do that - once I have recovered from a sudden bout of food poisoning!
Basically everything is there with the exception of the power supplies and a couple of power cables

No, they're EtherCAT only, and the other two non-EtherCAT sets I've got lying around are destined for machines.

G'day All,
Tim from Australia I'm new around here with lots to learn, never played with CNC. I'm a Carpenter/joiner by trade with a enough knowledge in metalwork to be dangerous. Currently designing...

Just a warning - there is a scammer who keeps listing a Boxford machine on ebay at a low starting bid price. He asks you to email him for the buy it now price. He replies by email and gives you a low...

Have a look at 5.6.6.2, I/J Mode: You can set the interpretation to be placed on I & J in arc moves. This is provided for compatibility
with different CAM post-processors and to emulate other...

You are in good hands with Chaz as he made a nice job of the last one (see his recent post on the Harrison 300)

If you want to watch one being converted here is a series I followed a while back...

Hi All,
After seeing the question raised recently and having seen it asked many times before, I've thrown together a small tutorial/guide for butt-joining linear rail without having access to a mill...

Hi All

Some good progress. The saddle and Z Axis has been cast and machined.

Hi Doddy

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I found the problem about 2am last night. Its down to the fact that I'm an idiot (not surprisingly!)

I'd quickly photographed each config screen...

Hey,this is the first wooden toys i made.

Nice project Chaz.

I’m sure you know this stuff but when I did my box I followed a few guidelines and have not had any problems or false estops:
Power lines separate from logic lines
24V logic...

Good to know - thanks for the info!

So I needed to make a little doo-hickey out of titanium to allow me to rack the side panels (note, titanium screws too!)

Just wanted to prove to myself it wasn't beginner's luck so quickly did up the second knob too... this is the other end of the rod that I cut to m4 thread. My plan is to have various threads cut on...

Got a few hours to play this afternoon at long last!

Whipped up a little design out of some scrap plywood to finish off the anodising tank and cathode/anode setup.

Thanks - hopefully the effort will be worth it and I can get some good consistent anodising results.

The 3D printer I use is my old trusty Makergear M2. I think they have an M3 out these days but...

Hi guys,

Sorry there hasn't been any progress recently - a general mix between work ramping up for the summer, enjoying the nice weather, with a dash of laziness and a sprinkle of lack of...

I've been following on YouTube. I have just one question, why the epoxy leveling? Great machine by the way. I was thinking of combining ideas from several projects and picking the best bits from...

Seems a lot of money for an old dog. Can't imagine (m)any businesses paying that for it - if anything fails on it, the thing is scrap - you'd never get parts for it. I'd suggest it's not worth much...

I don't know how much interest there is for 3D printers here, but here is my thread about my own design. It is not going to be a proper Build log, since I did not document every step from the start,...

Steel.

I've not got the equipment, or the motivation to deal with welding aluminium.

I was lucky in that I had time to design a suitable mod, and didn't have to rush and make do with whatever I could my hands on.

If you want the fusion 360 files or any drawings, let me know and I...

I have a spare one Chaz if it works ok we can sort something out.

We use them at wok and they are built very well.

I used an opto slot sensor on my old lathe, and there was never any measurable variation. I used RS part number 480-5231 however I see that part has now been discontinued. The only problem was I had...

Ok well this as been on my mind to do this for while now so what you all think.?

I've got reasonable collection of popular Controllers laying around now so thinking to do a comparison test...

So that answers the question if calculations can be done in macros.

That does look very like Fanuc programming, but as they don't seem to mention that anywhere in their blurb, I'm going to guess...
