Ordered some more stuff today. I ordered the steppers for the x & y, the 4th axis update for my controller, flexible anti backlash couplings, E stop switch. Will try to finish the controller this week. I need an enclosure and power supply next. Eric |

Ahhhhhhhh (Looks for Smiley with a Lightbulb over his head) Yes.. I see. Smaller Mill. Good for CNC machining of small intricate parts. CNC engraving.. on and on. Will be a really nice piece to have. Not really gonna translate to the Chinabridge very well. :ddb: |

Yeah Scott... smaller mill is an understatement. Not quite the smallest you can buy, bet pretty darn close. I think it weighs in at about 150lbs or so. I can really afford anything bigger right now nor do I have the room. I know I can fit a X3 (or the new X4) perhaps a RF45 (that would be pushing it) down in my shop. I have to wait till I rebuild my garage first. But as it is, it is big enough for now. I really don't mill anything too big. Eric :borg: |

Another package arrived yesterday. This one had the steppers for the X & Y, E stop and a coupler. The steppers are 425oz/in in bipolar 305oz/in in unipolar. Unfortunately, the controller I have is unipolar only. No big deal. I hope to have another package come in today... fingers are crossed. Eric |
