Buget Warco Major 5 axis conversion

[Tweaky]

Robin,
I have replied on your post "heads up Ebay", but I guess you are not very likley to read that.
Have you had any joy modifying your touch probe to incorporate the Z?
Also, how do you mount it?
Could it be rotated 90 deg. on it's mount?

Regards

Mark

Hi Mark

It sends me an email if you post on one of my rants.

You are having teething troubles. When it misbehaves, figure out what went wrong, fix it, try again, find out if you were right. Nemo repente sapit

Hi Robin,
of course it does, sorry, I am new at this.

Fettled, filed and stoned my vice, did not skim the base (it was late and I was tired) because it swivels.

Tried my Z axis bearing blocks again, lots more G-code, swarf and finally ….. square, plus a much better finish.

Now for some more complex code, as I want angles on the outside and three different bore diameters.

My Latin isn't very good, "Gizmo's are the child's friend, thereby all work is food for the hands" ?

Nemo repente sapit, "Persevere and win".

Hi Robin,
I have to confess, my Latin is virtually non-existent!, although it is something I would like to know.
I had to look up your phrase, it is the motto of a school in Oxford and means “no one becomes knowledgeable over-night “.
My phrase (I think) means “ the machine is like a child, all I do is feed it and clean it”

Have not cut much metal, as I am trying to plan my attack (so that I don’t make too many mistakes and have to re-make it), but hope to get more progress this weekend.

I confess, I went to that ghastly dump, long closed, as did my father. I was taught latin by Mr Atkinson, an intimidating Victorian git we all called Snoop.

The actual school motto was Labor vincit omnia but we had the translation of both in the school song
