Nicely done :D

How fast are you going in that YouTube vid?

I think that is 200IPM...

Cool :D

Have not played with my speeds yet. Think mine is set to 2000mm/min. Yours seemed FAST in comparison :)

Working on my control cabinet. Not the neatest ever by far, but latest power up did not release any smoke :).



Had to bag these 4-pin microphone connectors. Got the female side hooked up OK, but no way in hell these old eyes and fingers are going to get the wires soldered on those tiny little tabs on the male connector side.



For now, I'll just hardwire them. What do you guys use to connect steppers to control side?

Got my spindle and VFD from BST (actually came from Huan Yang directly.

Getting there!

Sigh, just looked at the connector for the spindle motor. This old-style microphone connector seems like a really poor choice for power to a 2.2KW motor - anybody tried to replace these?

Thanks,

Nice, looking good.

Is that a Fusion tool path??

It is. I have to say, of all the hurdles so far Fusion 360 has been the biggest. But, I am finally starting to get the hang of it.

Makes sense, I suppose. I have lots of experience with building stuff and electronics. But, CAD is new to me.

Thanks,

Its a steep curve but once you get over the top, the fun really starts - there is great satisfaction in designing a part in 3D then converting to tool paths and watching your machine turn it out. :)
