Guy, Good to see you haven't given up. APT is a "C" of machine control. A "portable" language. That is what it was designed to be. Some thoughts in response to...
Hello, Mariss (and Jon E) have posted methods to determine the amperage of unmarked steppers. Check the group archive, if no one can provide you the info...
Brian, This sounds like a cool tool. Do you know what brand/model it is? Westec is coming up, and I'd like to search it out. I'm designing a small 5C spindle...
Hello, There is a pretty good one by Chuck White(or Chuck Raskin; I don';t remember just now. Got mine at a trade show for 50 bucks). Also from one of the...
Hello, Sounds like you're hitting a resonant frequency of your machine/structure. Is the "other" machine which doesn't exhibit this identical otherwise? What...
Jon, What is your "gut" feeling about a homeshop guy or gal creating glass scales like this? Could we do the etching necessary? What other options do we have...
Hi Luis, This is one of those topics this list was designed for. as a matter of fact, if you search this list you will get more knolege about this sort of...

I would like at least 0.0005 and I haven't seen how that can work with the linear scales available from U.S. Digital. I am looking at the 2048 2" disk and...
I was thinking about using a (zero backlash) rotary table (axis vertical) on the cross slide a while back. Here is how my train of thought went: 1. A CNC...
... Honestly, I think that would be a better setup for a lot of reasons, one of which is you'd get the entire mill bed to position tools on. Hmmmm!! I think...
Hi Ballendo, I see you are quite enthusiastic about APT. Or any other smart language, for that matter. APT is much more advanced and powerful than what I was...
Hey Dan, Do you have any idea how long? I don't mind waiting in that I have oh, just "a few" other projects to work on as well, but is this a real thing you've...
ballendo: Isn't there a newer intermediate language like APT? One that sits between the CAM package and the post processor. I think it's called CL (Cutter...

... I used to do anisotropic silicon etching in an optics R&D lab. You'd probably laugh yourself silly if you saw our setup. (Except for the final etch...

Hi, I asked this question of USDigital over 18 months ago and posted their reply on this list. They promised it for June of last year if memory serves me. The...
Ballendo, Mariss, Would adding a mass ( or flywheel) to the stepper pulley help or hinder stepper resonance regions? Any Rule-of-Thumb's (ROT's)? Also I wonder...
This raises a question I've been mulling over, but haven't done anything about: If you could make a nice swarf/coolant/dust proof optical tube and mount it on...
