Hi, Since there seems to be no willingness on the part of most group members to trim unnecessary rubbish from their messages, can anyone suggest some form of...
I have a milling attachment for my lathe but I don’t have a motor for it. The type of work I want to do with the milling attachment is: 1.) Engraving...

Hi Ian, there is no 'smart' software that could determine if the response was part of the trash. :( it might be possible to just trash everything with >> or...
Well, I saved some money on the AC Tech drive. It seems that all three Precise spindles I acquired had at least one phase burned out in the windings. I...
There are really two problems that sommetimes occur while setting up a new machine or new control box. Lost steps and lost motion. Sometimes a stepper/servo...
For all the work that you're describing my favorite would be the Sherline headstock with the DC variable speed motor. I would add to that a 10,000 RPM pulley...
Here's my setup. Gecko G201 and PACSI H32 Series motor parallel wired to take 5.6 Amps. Gecko has a 120K Current set resistor this should be a 5 AMP setting. ...
What is the indication that's making you think that the Gecko is not putting out correct amperage? Do you have a lack of holding torque or are you noticing...
Tim, The motor does not start under the load, and I have to help it ! Once running the amp meter read 1 Amp ! Even for an integrated reading that's on the low...
Adding a 0.027 Ohm resistor in the Ground return of the 36V, I measured 40mV across the resistor when the Gecko is driving the motor. The current waveform...
Hans, You can put an ammeter in series with one of the windings. Use a battery powered multimeter set to AC amps and step the drive at 240 full steps per...
Mariss, Thanks for the feedback, that was the kind of info I was looking for. 1) Jumper for Low Current Mode is ON meaning Low Current Mode is not enabled. 2)...
Hans, Orient the drive so that the main connector is to the left and the "Adjust" trimpot is in the upper right-hand corner. Call the top row of the header...
... Arrgh! I'd better check mine, although it is an air-cooled spindle. I think I checked the terminals and the readings looked OK. ... It might still be...
... Does this clamp-on meter read DC? Most don't. I suspect it is reading the current peaks of the chopping action. ... Not necessarily. Your motor probably...
Jon, The clamp-on amp meter is DC only, range FSD 0-1mA(one milliamp) through 0-10Amps The old HP 428 is one of the few oldies (tubes) I keep around because it...
Hi Again Ballendo; I gave the CNC project a rest for a month so have not been very active recently. Today I just mounted all the controllers onto brackets on...
Hi; Ok, what's the conclusion on the E-Stop issue, should the big red button cut power to everything, or is s soft-stop good enough ! I know that there are...
I came across 4 Intellico DC-42A stepper drives & 4 Bodine Nema 42 4 wire stepper motors. The motors are rated at 3.6 Volts 6.1 Amps. Does anyone know anything...
Hi, PeterC When the red mushroom button is pressed, I'd leave power ON for the control and send a signal to it that the E-Stop was pressed. I'd disconnect...
It's a 83-1000 MC. No tape punch, coolant system or chip tray, but it has the carousel, a box full of tool holders, and the air dryer. Some of the thumbwheels...

I'm in the early stages of building a CNC X-Y Table - (probably 4' X 8') and am interested in hearing about others' experience using linear motion cassettes...
Hi Peter, I think there are good and bad points about the compressor. as you may know, compressors make vibration from the pistons, if you use a piston style....
