Not got any assembled photos, didn't bother as it was going to be a project for me. However I have found a picture on Google images of its twin and I'll post them hopefully tomorrow when I can get to...

I didn't have problems with mine, a blue and white 50w from Portsmouth.
Arrived well packed in three days and it was still all lined up. That bit didn't bother me as i have had quite a few years...

Yup, that's it.

Press enter.

It's not about maximum speed but percentages of the same.
If your 40v system is running at 1/2 speed on acceleration it probably used 20 volts.
If an 80 volt system is running at half speed it gets...

They can be screwcut with tipped tooling but I wouldn't fancy my chances with a die.

Warco WM14 you can usually get away without having to machine the underside of the table.

Warco WM16 is borderline some clear, some don't.

Warco WM18 you always have to machine the table.

23's and 24's are compatible as regards hole sizes. It just the bodies that are bigger.

Just double checked with a digital vernier as I'm sat here 3D printing covers out for both.

542's or equivalent will be fine for a machine this size and still be upgradeable.

What a load of bollocks

I'll back Jazz on this and throw a bit of history into the ring.

I started off converting standard bench top Mills into CNC and bought what we could get hold of.
At that time Arturo Duncan over...

I can see these controllers filling a niche market.
They are going to appeal to the home build user with one of a couple of machines. Probably smaller machines that don't need the bumph of having a...

Good post Nick.

For every electrical wizz kid there are 10 that aren't.

Dean is correct up to a point in that these controllers are still a work in progress and until they have some time under their belt there will be a question mark over them.
This is the DDSCV...

Are the present moment only Kflop, and pokeys can thread inside Mach and for Pokeys it's mach4. Both are a work in progress, a long work IMHO.
Planet CNC can thread but it would be hard to do...

Dave, once setup drop a couple of shallow keyways in the plate both vertically and horizontally so you can drop a piece of key steel in to act as back and / or side stops to get parts square

Magic, thanks for the update.

Mach 3 can only detect axis switches on limits. It doesn't know whick one, plus or minus, so disconnect the wiring from the top switch and daisy chain the two switches together and try that.

Boyan,
Quick reply as going out.

It was bought as a 2 axis just for a lathe as it can thread properly.
I have a lot to do with the Chinese as i was heavily involved with them to build the KX1...

Wilson,
Check your PM's

So if you are on your own on this one and given it's a very low rated unit for the Proxon, I'd be happier with a simple breakout board like this.

I tend to buy the sizes I want as opposed to boxes of sizes I'll never use.
Beal UK does a good range at a respectable price.

Ball-screws came today. Well packed and fully machined. Can't fault them at this price, banged an order in for a few more before they disappear.

Just recently Smiths Metals which are a UK chain have been beating ASC hands down on price.
Might just be worth a phone call.

In my case 12mm brass bar in qty of 10's but bear in mind this price...

No one mentioned Vectric yet ?

Ideal program for routers and similar work, good and helpful user base.
