--- Quote from: raynerd on January 14, 2013, 04:13:50 PM ---... Do you plan on using Linux CNC or mach3? Despite having a little experience with Debian, I sucked with linuxcnc! I just couldn't get it to work properly. Installed mach3 and all my troubles went away! I don't know what you are intending to actually cut, but I couldn't ever recommend V-carve highly enough. Truly amazing. Powerful and once you get a grip of how it works, v easy to use. ... --- End quote --- Chris, I use Mach3 on my CNC mill. |
| raynerd:
Yes, of course....forgot you had the mill! |

--- Quote from: raynerd on January 14, 2013, 04:13:50 PM --- Only limitation is the spindle. I made my own spindle using a er16 chuck, and out runner motor. It runs well on plastic and wood but stalls easily when taking any sort of a cut in brass or ally. If I want to cut brass or ally, it takes ages because I have to take such small cuts! That said, I've done some lovely engraving and cut out some nice brass parts up to now. Chris --- End quote --- Chris, thread jacking, I don't think I'll be too intrusive. I am curious about your spindle, which I've been sort of following. I should have asked earlier, but your recent events led me to think you must be more than busy. I'm thinking along the lines of a ER20 10mm chuck so far only at the thinking stage! What kind of power supply are you using? If it's stalling, is it getting enough power? Regards, Matthew |
| raynerd:
Matthew, you are right. I'm running it from an atx pc power supply and it just isn't enough. Don't want to hijack Eric's thread but if you have any ideas of a suitable supply let me know, perhaps by pm or on my CNC thread! As it happens I've blown the atx so need to sort something new out anyway. Chris |
