Luke11CNC Build Log ,I'm so naïve

[Jonathan]

at least I have a shell to copy and the plugs are still usable

Yes they do look worth copying for £20 each...

More parts for you:






The bore of that last ballnut mount came out very shiny. I used a polished carbide tip in the boring bar from APT:

I didn't do anything special - it was just cut dry with the auto-feed. Would definitely recommend them for getting a good finish on aluminium...

James,
I think you said earlier that you were using Nema 23 motors(I think the Nema 23 peak at around 4.5 amps )so those plugs and sockets should be fine. You could always mount a little junction box next to the motors and connect them up that way like i did. Saves alot of hassle and time.

I thought they where nema 23 but they are SY60

James

[Web Goblin]

I think that would be Nema 24 then. Still around 4amps max give or take a tad.

[Jonathan]

Yes they are 60mm, which seems to be referred to as Nema 24 though I doubt that's an 'official' size. They are rated for 4.2A per phase in parallel, so those connectors are fine...
I take it they're for the 'control box'?

By the way the CY cable arrived.... so we've got plenty now.

Luke has a short week this week he finishes school on Friday at 12.30 so we will be in the garage all weekend next week working on the CNC machine

Yes they are for the control box
